My Hero Academia World Heroes Mission Dvd

Okay, real talk time, heroes. We need to discuss the My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission DVD. Did you grab it yet? I did. And I have thoughts. Controversial thoughts, maybe.

So, What's the Big Deal?

First off, let's acknowledge the obvious: it's more My Hero Academia. That's a win right there. Explosions, cool quirks, and teenagers saving the world? Yes, please!

But… but is it the best MHA movie? That's where I start to get a little… spicier than Bakugo's temper. Just sayin'.

The Good Stuff

The animation is gorgeous. Seriously, those fight scenes are slicker than All Might’s smile. It's worth it just to see Deku, Bakugo, and Shoto looking so, well, heroic.

The international setting is fun. Seeing our favorite heroes try to navigate foreign cultures? Comedy gold. Can someone please give Bakugo a phrasebook?

And, let’s be honest, the team-up dynamic between Deku and Rody Soul is pretty heartwarming. Who doesn't love a good found family trope? My heart grew three sizes that day.

Here Comes the Spicy Take

Okay, brace yourselves. Here's where I dare to tread where others fear to. The plot? It's… fine. It’s perfectly acceptable superhero action movie plot.

It's not exactly Shakespeare, is it? I mean, a group wants to eliminate quirks? Seen it. The world is in danger? Been there. Characters overcoming personal struggles? Done that, got the t-shirt.

Maybe I’m being too harsh. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the amazing arcs in the main series. But compared to some other anime movies, it feels... a little predictable. Don’t @ me.

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

Rody Soul? Sweet kid, great heart. But did anyone else find him a little… generic? He's basically the "reluctant sidekick" starter pack.

Don’t get me wrong, his backstory is sad. His relationship with Pino is adorable. I just feel like his character could have been a bit more...quirky. Pun intended, naturally.

And the villain? Flect Turn is... there. His quirk is cool, I'll give him that. Reflecting attacks is always a visually interesting power. But his motivations felt a little… underdeveloped. A for effort, C for execution.

Worth the Watch? (Yes, But…)

Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed the World Heroes' Mission DVD. I mean, it's freaking My Hero Academia! Even slightly-less-amazing MHA is still better than a lot of other stuff out there.

Plus, who can resist owning more MHA merch? My wallet certainly can’t. It's practically empty at this point because of my Pro Hero figurine collection.

So, should you buy it? Yes! Is it the greatest anime movie ever made? Maybe not. But it's still a fun, action-packed adventure with our favorite heroes. Lower your expectations just a tad, and you'll have a blast.

Final Verdict (And a Plea)

The My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission DVD is good, not great. But good enough to add to your collection. Think of it as a really long, really flashy episode.

So, go forth and enjoy! And maybe, just maybe, let’s all agree that the next MHA movie needs to crank up the originality dial to eleven. Please? I'm begging you, Bones.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go rewatch the Deku vs. Muscular fight. That scene never gets old.
