My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission Movie - Review!

 By now you should know what My Hero Academia is about or you know that I am a huge fan of it. So when the new movie was announced I was so excited and here we are now that the movie is out in cinemas in the UK from the 29th October 2021, I shall give you the low down and my thoughts on this movie. 

So with the world population having 80% of it with powers we have a terrorist group come from the shadows to throw the world into chaos by bombing places to take people's powers aka quirks away from them because they believe in a quirk doomsday theory which means powers will destroy the world basically and so our heroes set off all over the world to take down the threat of Humarize. Meanwhile our boy Deku has been framed for murder and is on the run with our new companion Rody (Who is the heart of the movie and is such a well written great character I felt.)  

This film is it's own thing, set roughly in the middle of the show's 5th season however. This is visually stunning and I felt it was their best animation yet. The soundtrack is also amazing! There was a few new characters introduced with this film too and two of which stood out are Flect and Rody. Rody brought a lot of heart to this movie and Flect brought menace. One criticism I have is Bakugo felt mostly one note most his lines were "Don't give me orders" and it would have been refreshing to see and hear new and different lines as his character is changing and evolving more as we move further on down the line to the current issues of the manga with his character development, however we did get to see Bakugo use his brains more and that surprised me. 

This film delivers MHA at it's best with outstanding fan service moments which the fans are still all hyped and talking about aswell as gorgeous scenery and hype music. Sadly this does not really affect the canon of the anime and manga BUT I think it has moments which will be followed up with later down the line especially with some of the new special moves shown off in the epic fights. 

Anyway, if you enjoy MHA you will no doubt enjoy and love this movie.

8/10

Thanks for reading and sharing this review!

See you again soon young hero, stay shiny!

My Hero Academia Top 10 Songs

My Hero Academia is one of my all time favourite anime's and it's one of the most inspirational anime's i have ever seen. I love this show so much and oh my god does it have some banging tunes! 

So from the opening themes, closing themes and the inbetween's, let's take a trip to UA Highschool to listen in on these quirky numbers! 

10: You Can Become A Hero

So to kick off the list is this instrumental song which appears in the scene where All Might passes on his Quirk to Young Midoria. Deku for years looked up to All Might so imagine the surprise he gets when All Might says to him that he was inspired by his biggest fan's movements without thinking. Deku was a normal kid not blessed with a quirk unlike so many of the entire population of the world yet he acted in the face of danger without thinking and All Might tell's him that he can become a hero and this is where the story begins of how Deku became the world's greatest hero!

9: Heroes

The ending theme to the first season is very powerful. Performed by Brian The Sun the lyrics are great so is the instrumental. Best lyric: "No matter if this is fiction or reality, i'll surely manage to go beyond!".

8: Make My Story

I know what i have to do, it's my life my one and only! Oh god this just hits and just takes you on a roller coaster i feel and damn is it stylish, catchy and hard hitting, i love this one!

7: Polaris

The story of Eri is captured in this heartbreaking emotional powerful song. "Push aside all these tears and be the best i can be, just as long as i know you won't give up on me, at the end of the day i'd give you everything!, made a promise that you would always be safe, just know my heart can still remember that day". Beautiful right?!

6: Hero A

This is a chilling track with rock rap based elements and i love it, it's very different but it appears quite a bit instrumentally and as the rap rock version at times and it's damn good. 

5: Might+U

This is a soft, raw, emotional, vulnerable song and it makes me cry but also feel inspired and empowered and reassured. It's honestly such a beautiful song! "Remember it's just natural that we'll be there if you need help, Far across the distance, rest assured that our faith just won't die".

4: Hero Too

OH I BLOODY LOVE THIS ONE!!!! Class 1A gave a hell of a concert experience in performing this original song hehe. "Hero too, I am a hero too, My heart is set (my heart is set) and I won't back down, Hero too, strength doesn't make a hero, True heroes (true heroes) stand up for what they believe, So wait and see".

3: Peace Sign

Here is the season 2 opening which i always catch myself humming or singing just randomly, it makes me smile. The instruments and way it flows it's just so good! "My eyes are swollen from the tears that I've been crying but to the world ever smiling, singing for the courage i'm dying to show, with my peace sign up as i say goodbye, write a story of a hero!" Song perfectly captures all might and deku. 

2: You Say Run

THIS OH YES! Purely instrumental inspiring motivating butt kicking anthem here! LOVE IT SO MUCH AHHHHHHH!!!!

1: The Day

Iconic and classic this song captures the feel of what to expect from this show, it's a bloody good track! I heard and loved this way before i watched the anime crazy right!? I do miss it at times and i am almost always singing it or humming it. "The maze is twisting, ever twisting, Do you plan to see what you're missing, The sound of a bell from a tiny adventurer, Signals a new beginning, Are you sure that you're not shaking?, Such uncertain roads you're taking, Every step that you take it is changing you, Where is tomorrow?, The day has come!"

Alright and that's my list, what did you think?

Do you like these songs too? You a big fan of the anime or manga?

What list would you like me to do next?

Let me know!

Stay safe and stay shiny!
