Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 1: Futari no Hero Specials

The 8 is only because of the second episode. The first episode is an 11/10. Very short, straight to the point and one of the most emotion packed 3 minutes i've seen in anime. All might's scream is the most powerful thing i've heard in anime period. Showing everyone this emotionally vulnerable side of All Might we haven't really seen really makes him more human to everyone and more relatable. Really makes you wanna root for him. Perfect job in explaining most of his backstory in such a small amount of time.


episode 2 is meh and would give it a 6. Going from such a ... powerful episode 1 to this more fun episode might be bringing the score down but overall it's watchable and only 6 minutes anyway.

It's really the short ones that get you straight into the feels when you least expect it, please, proceed with caution, I know I wasn't prepared for it until I felt the punch.
For starters, the photo on this MAL page doesn't contribute anything to the story carried on this short, and saying short isn't either stretching in or anything. It was literally 2 minutes long but it managed to pack up more feelings than you'd get on an episodic basis, don't you love it when they get straight into the point?
I would have preferred a longer version of this hat goes deeper than the uncountable ... blinks you get, but I guess a canon adaptation of this is bound to happen in the main show.
In amaze me how in just two minutes you understand so much about All Might, the way he screamed that Nana was like a mother to him, the fast forward time skip after his graduation from U.A and his training with his master, that would have gotten a 5/5 had it been in an episode of the actual show.

This special has 2 episodes: a short and bitter-sweet 3 minute video giving more backstory to All Might's grief over his sensei's sacrifice; a 6 minute picture drama that focuses on the after-math of the movie.

The 1st episode is amazing and has a lot of content, despite being only 3 minutes long. I really enjoyed it and if the special had stopped here, I would've given it a much higher grade.

I find hard to enjoy picture dramas (maybe it's just me, though) so I didn't have fun on the 2nd episode, hence why I gave it a 6.

For some reason, MAL is telling ... me to write more on this review so I'm typing this to see if I can get this review approved. I mean, there's only so much I can type about 2 episodes that last an average of 4 minutes and a half if my math is correct.
