Loved learning background info about the manga, anime, and movie. Also Rody Soul is one of my new favorite characters (and it makes me sad that he’ll probably be a movie exclusive character)

This was a freebie given out to those who saw the third My Hero Academia movie in theaters. I love when anime companies do this kind of promotion; I got Ancient Mew vibes! And just like Ancient Mew, this was an awesome bonus. The character profiles are really interesting both from a visual standpoint and an informational one. Not only do you learn more about the characters that you'd never get from just watching the movie, they kept a lot of the original Japanese notes, placing English translations next to them, rather than overwriting them. That meant I got Japanese reading practice out of this little book, too! The interviews and short manga were funny and interesting and even the very end of the book, the inside of the back cover, is cool because the illustration there uses metallic silver and black, rather than typical black & white printing. The movie was epic enough even without this bonus book, so having it is like the cherry on top!

Le doy 5/5 estrellas porque es una obra de arte. Creo sinceramente que podría llegar a sobrepasar a Heroes Rising pero no estoy del todo segura.

La animación es otro maldito mundo, el Studio Bones y Toho Animation necesitan un Oscar con todo el trabajo y esfuerzo que le pusieron a esta película. La trama, historia, la banda sonora, los colores, ¡EL GUIÓN! El guionazo es ÉPICO.

Siento que esta vez Horikoshi nos quiso meter mucho en lo que son los vínculos familiares y como hacerse cargo de cosas y responsabilidades que debes tomar apresuradamente. Metiendo a Rody como protagonista de ese mensaje que quiere darnos y contándolo de una forma muy delicada e incluso disimulada como suele hacerlo con todas sus obras.

Sí bien por momentos ciertas formas de dibujos en los diseños, como en Todoroki y su pelo, me rayaron bastante, considero que estuvo increíble ya que siguió manteniendo la esencia de Boku no Hero Academia: "Lucha por tus sueños aunque cuesten porque valen la pena con tal de ser feliz". No tengo más que decir, divina✨

Was handed this when I went to see the new film and I really enjoyed both. The film while not my favorite so far was still wonderful and I loved reading through this to see a small prequel story before the events in the film. It also has a funny q&a about the characters and author that I really enjoyed.
