    My Hero Academia Movie Double Feature: Heroes Rising & World Heroes Mission (Oct 2022)

    My Hero Academia Movie Double Feature: Heroes Rising & World Heroes Mission (Oct 2022)

    This Anime is back with a new season, new music, new anime!

    This month we finish out our cataloging of the My Hero Academia series by talking about the 2nd and 3rd feature films of the franchise subtitled Heroes Rising and World Heroes Mission. We also bring back our series The Watch to chronicle some of this Fall Anime Season's underlooked at series.

    In Heroes Rising, Class 1A has been given the oppertunity to run their own interum hero agency on the remote Nabu Island. But when actual villains land on the island with intent on stealing the quirk of one of the young residents it's up to Deku, Bakugo, and the rest of their class to rise to the occasion and protect the islanders from harm because their the only hope they've got.

    In World Heroes Mission, a organization known as Humerise has threatened Quirk Society with quirk eliminating bombs that are scattered across the globe. Deku, Bakugo, and Todoroki journey to the country of Otheon where its supposed leader, Flect Turn, is hiding. But when Deku is framed for murder and forced to be on the run with a petty thief named Rody, our heroes must go off grid to stop Flect and his group from committing mass genocide of quirk users across the globe.

    Both movies are available to rent/purchase wherever you get your movies.

    Hello everyone This Anime is returning this Fall but before we do we've got a special mini series in store.

But as Deku learns getting one of these internships is much harder than it seems. Even with the help of Miro of the UA "Big Three" getting his foot in the door, he has to convince All Might's former sidekick, Nighteye, that not only is he fit to intern with his agency but is worthy of the power of One for All. Not to mention Nighteye's agency is investigating the dealings of Yakuza leader, Kai Chisaki or as he likes to be called "Overhaul". But when Deku and Miro encounter Chisaki in the flesh they also meet an innocent and frightened young girl named Eri under Chisaki's supervision. What is he doing to poor Eri? And does it have a connection to the new quirk related drugs hitting the illegal markets around Japan? Listen in as we cover episodes 74-76 of My Hero Academia. Plus Ultra!

    Hello everyone This Anime is returning this Fall but before we do we've got a special mini series in store.

    In the aftermath of the battle between All Might and All For One and the great heroes subsequent retirement the power vacuum has begun forming. So the pressure is gone to push the next generation of heroes even harder as Class 1-A takes their Provisional License Exam earlier than most. The catch is that with UA being the top and most famous of all the hero schools in the country, everyone is gunning to cull them from the already ultra competitive heard. So the wanna be heroes have to not only pass against the odds but some of their competition might have direct sights at some of them with the intention of settling old forgotten scores. With a 50% passing average will everyone make the cut or could their heroic dreams hit a major speed bump? Listen in as we cover episodes 51-63. Plus Ultra!
