My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising

First off; yes this does have spoilers from the manga, but they're so little or have 0 context, so if you're not with a manga reader you won't even notice It's a great movie with all our best boys/girls getting screentime, it's fun, wholesome and has a good villian to match The end fight was a little too over the top and didn't make much sense but it was still really awesome

The action and emotion is some of the best I've ever seen and felt. I was in tears at many points in this movie just from how amazing it was all executed. Characters and their moments were all spectacular. The ideas of being a hero were corny yet tear inducing. You can tell the people who worked on this movie put their soul into it.

Only things keeping it from a 10/10 is the lack of transition between this movie and the show(we never see them get to the island or arrive back from the island), the story/writing wasn't anything out of the ordinary, and the slight asspull but it didn't even matter because it led to one of the most lit moments in the history of animation and superhero movies.

Even if you haven't seen the show watch this movie! Especially if you're an anime/manga/comic/superhero fan.

9.2/10.

I'm 39 and this anime is awesome. This movie breathtaking.

This movie is almost completely flawless. Perfect animation, characters, plot, references to source material music etc. You don't need me to tell you why this movie is fantastic. As a manga reader and die hard fan, I want to give some more light on my criticisms out of love for this series.

The singular flaw with this movie when it is set with the series. This movie takes places around the My Villain Academia arc, 2 arcs and an entire season after where we are currently. This means that a lot of plot points from these are "subtlety" implied, including but not limited to revealing 4 separate major plot twists from the upcoming arcs with no context or depth to them bar some inconsistent plot armour. Hawks is the biggest waste of potential here by being the most important character in the upcoming arcs.

Roger Moore argues that unless your already invested in anime franchises that you won't enjoy the movie. You could literally make that same argument about any franchise movie series like marvel movies or Star Wars or Harry Potter. That's a dumb a opinion. What he was really trying to say is, "I hate anime movies, because it's not mainstream." I translated your review for you Roger Moore 😁 lol.
