My Hero Academia fans at Anime Expo were treated to the world premiere of the first series movie, Two Heroes, and as one would expect, early impressions of the film are positive.

First reactions from those in attendance at the premiere are starting to go online, and the impression these reactions give off was that the movie was successful at setting out what it needed to do.

Fans reacted positively to different aspects of the movie, but the consensus for the reactions was that it definitely worth the wait in the Los Angeles heat. Read on to see what fans are saying about the film. The synopsis for My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is as follows:

"After the end of the climatic Final Exams, the U.A. Class members head off to their school field trip for Summer break. However, before they head off to the school field trip, All Might and Deku accept an invitation from someone to go abroad to a floating and mobile manmade city, called "I Island." All researchers in the world, from both East and West, are gathered in this place, known as the Hollywood of Science, where they research quirks as well as hero supplemental items at the special "I Expo" convention that is currently being held on the island.

This is where Deku meets the quirkless girl, Melissa. Melissa also is like him, quirkless. Deku is able to connect with Melissa by recalling when he too was quirkless. During that time, suddenly, despite an iron wall of security surrounding the island, the system is breached by a villain who hacked into it! The people living on the island are all taken hostage! Now, the Hero Association needs to act quickly to deploy their unshakeable "Plan" or else―! The only person who can grasp that key, is none other than the Number One Hero, All Might!"

For those unfamiliar with the My Hero Academia juggernaut, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
