My Hero Academia: Two Heroes Film Opens in U.S., Canada on September 25

Funimation Films announced on Friday that it will screen the My Hero Academia: Two Heroes anime film in more than 400 theaters in the United States and Canada on September 25, 26, 27, 29 and October 2. Screenings on September 25, 27, and 29 will be in Japanese with English subtitles, while screenings on September 26 and October 2 will be English-dubbed.

Funimation and TOHO hosted a world premiere of the film with English subtitles at Anime Expo on July 5. The film will open in Japan on August 3.

Funimation describes the film:

The climactic finals are over, and U.A. is getting ready for the summer training camp. Deku and All Might receive an invitation from a certain person to go overseas to a giant artificial moving city called I-Island. This island, a kind of “science Hollywood” that gathers the knowledge of scientists from around the world, is holding an exhibition called I-Expo showcasing the results of Quirk and hero item research. In the midst of all this, Deku meets a Quirkless girl named Melissa and remembers his own Quirkless past. Out of the blue, the impregnable security system the island boasts is hacked by villains, and all the people on the island are taken as hostages! Now, a plan that could shake hero society has been put into motion! The man who holds the key to it all is the number one hero and Symbol of Peace, All Might.

New characters for the film include David Shield (voiced by Katsuhisa Namase), Melissa Shield (voiced by Mirai Shida), and Wolfram (voiced by Rikiya Koyama). Melissa is a quirkless girl whom Deku meets on I-Island, and her father David was a friend of All Might in his younger days. David is a scientist who makes hero support items, and Melissa works hard to follow in his footsteps. Wolfram is a leader of a mysterious villain team that aims to overthrow the Hero Society.

Participating theaters in Japan will give out “volume 0” (volume Origin) books to theatergoers, while supplies last. The book features a cover and a manga drawn by original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi. The book also contains a “character description and analysis collection” of characters (including the new characters) who appear in the film, as well as a “secret dialogue” between Horikoshi and One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda.

Original manga creator Kōhei Horikoshi is credited with the original work, character designs, and as chief supervisor. Returning staff members include director Kenji Nagasaki at BONES, scriptwriter Yousuke Kuroda, character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and composer Yuki Hayashi. TOHO is distributing the film. Masaki Suda is performing the film’s theme song “Long Hope Philia.” amazarashi‘s Hiromu Akita wrote and composed the piece.

     The film tells an original story supervised by the manga author Horikoshi, which is set after the term-

end examination ended. While other members of U.A. High School are waiting for a forest camp in the

summer vacation, Deku and All Might are visiting "I • Island," a moving city with huge population that

floats on a foreign sea, with an invitation from someone.

  During "I • Expo" to display the research results about "Quirk" and "Hero Item," Deku meets a girl named

Melissa (CV: Mirai Shida) who has no "Quirk." She reminds Deku of himself in the past who also lacked

a "Quirk." She is a daughter of All Might's ex-partner David Shield (Kastuhisa Namase), who is a internationally-

renowned scientist who has developed support items for many heroes, including All Might's costume in

the past.   

  All of sudden, the security system of the island is hacked by an unknown villain team headed by Wolfram

(Rikiya Koyama), and all of the people in the island are being held hostage. Then "a project" that may shock

the structure of the hero society is launched. The one person who holds the key to the project is All Might,

the symbol of peace.

    Kenji Nagasaki, who has served as director for the past two and the upcoming third TV anime series, makes

his feature film directorial debut. The TV anime's series composition writer Yosuke Kuroda provides a screenplay,

and character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi and soundtrack composer Yuuki Hayashi are also attached to

the film project.

  Prior to the fim's premiere in Japan on August 3, its world premiere screening with English subtitles is set to

be held at the upcoming Anime Expo 2018 event on July 5.

❇ Mahoutokoro School of Magic ❇

Disclaimer: Most scenes are inspired by the original story.

Chapter One: Introduction

I am Nyaro Kojima, a student from Mahoutokoro School of Magic. Im on my 2nd Year now and i cant wait what possible adventures i'll experience this year. In Tengu House, we're called the Protectors. I dont even know why i was put in this house since im not really that type, my parents chose me this House. Im loyal and determined, but Protector? Uhm, maybe? Im no longer a day student, so i pack up all my things in my luggage and i can see my parents getting too emotional coz ill be gone for months. Of course, they can send me a howler anytime they want.

"Mom, im all set". I looked at my mom as i grab my small purse.

"Okay, your School's petrel will be here anytime soon". She hugged me and as if she doesnt want to let me go. Then we heard a loud swoosh on our roof, of course the other muggles wont hear it. I bid goodbye to my parents and wave at them before riding on the petrel's back.

We arrived at the palace which is by the way located on the topmost point of volcanic island called Minami Iwo Jima maybe after 10mins of flying with those giant storm petrels and, of course our house prefect are already waiting for us, we were instructed to follow them directly to Tengu's common room. I really havent had any best friends that i can call, i mean i have a lot of acquaintances, but no close friends that i hang out with or talk with all seconds of my life here. I saw Momoko and Yuki at the common's room lounge, they were pretty much my friends since were on the same year. I waved at them and they greeted back. I feigned a smile at them as i walk directly to my room. I immediately fixed my things, after i was settled , i walked back to where i found Momoko and Yuki and they asked me if i would be on the House's Quidditch meeting tonight.

"There's a Quidditch meeting?" I looked at them as they both nodded. I am one of the Tengu's Beaters, yknow those who hits the damn bludgers. I wanted to be the Keeper, but i cant take the Captain's spot since he havent graduated yet. I thanked them for telling me about the meeting before going back to my room and grabbed my purse. I immediately left the common room and ran to the palace's main hall. We usually do our meet-ups there, as i was walking, i passed by some other students from different houses, Kappa, Kitsune and Tanuki. I looked at them with my poker face even though some of them are familiar since i guess most of them is on the same year as me. Gosh, i should really learn how to be friendly, anyway, i arrived at the main hall, no one is around then suddenly there was a loud bang making the huge doors closed.

I immediately grabbed my wand, all our wands here are made by cherry wood and mine is mixed with Unicorn's hair and Akita's blood. I gripped it and prepares myself, i havent had a duel for 2 months, and duh im just on my second year. Its so dark, i cant see anything but i can hear footsteps. Damn, where is it coming from? I turned around and swoosh my wand, i need light. "Akira maxima", its a charm, a light creation spell used to light the tip of the wand. I walked to see who dared to play a prank on me when suddenly, i felt hands covering my eyes. I struggled and tries to let go from these hands, what if this person is trying to kill me. I felt my kokoro beating so fast then i started yelling and kicking the person behind me, and that person lets go then i tried to open my eyes, breathing harshly. The main hall's lights are all turned on, everything is clear already then i turned to face the person trying to kill me then i blinked my eyes again. "Eh?!"

I almost dropped my jaw when i saw the person in front of me, brunette-haired tall guy with that James Dean daydream look at his eyes, smiling like an enormous dumbo, our Captain~ Junnosuke Taguchi.

"Senpaiiiiiii~! If i only know how to throw a Cruciatic curse, i wouldve done it to you, yknow". I shrugged as i tried to compose myself.

"I was just playing with you,Nyan". He laughed as if he just won in a lottery or something then the other Quidditch Members appeared.

"Hey Nyan" Daiki Arioka, Jun Shison and Tina Tamashiro, our 3, always synchronized Chasers chorused as they greeted me.

"Yo!" My partner as a Beater, Yuto Nakajima greeted me with his kakkoi aura, then at the back giggling as she waved at me is our Seeker, the Kawaii angel but when she's on the field, she's a devil, Maika Yamamoto.

I smiled at them and greeted them in return.

"Okay, since we're complete. Lets start our meeting". Our Captain/Keeper Junno uttered as he grabbed his notes.

"As you all know, there will be a tournament and our first rival is the House of Kappa". Captain started as he looked at everyone.

"We should prepare and train a lot since we all know, that Kappa's Quidditch team are pretty good and ive heard they have a new Seeker".

"Eh? Who is it Captain?" Maika asked as she tried to carefully open the chocolate frog's box.

"He's a 2nd year student, Shintaro Morimoto " He read his notes and looked at us.

"Since its the first game of this year, we should give them a good fight right?" He looked at us again feigning a playful grin.

1st day of the new school year, everyone is excited. Wearing the robes that was given to us, as you all know, we we're given white robes when we were first accepted, then this robes will change its color when the wearer gained more experiences. When you see someone wearing a gold robe, that means theyre amazing aurors. So me, im on my second year, and im wearing a super pale pink robe, not because im turning into an amazing witch but its just because we won 3 matches in Quidditch last year. This year i want my robe to change its color but i feel like im a boring person. I wanna do something great, but someone like me seems to not be destined to greatness.

I walked out of the common room, i saw Suzu Hirose dropped her books, so i walked towards her and picked them up. She smiled shyly as i hand her books to her. I smiled in return and continue to walk my way to my "Transfiguration" class. I entered the room and of course, i saw an owl on the table. Professor Koyama Keichiro, transformed to an owl again. I heard Kato telling us stories that he always do that during Transfiguration class. I searched for a desk, the only available seat is beside a guy and he seems familiar, i guess we're on the same year. I sat beside him and he looked at me as he put his things aside to give me some space. Eyes like stabs me in my kokoro, thick eyebrows which really suits that evil eyes, and an aura of a full blooded Japanese auror. Why does my heart suddenly beat too fast ne? Is he scaring me? I tried to compose myself as i grabbed my quill and ink, then gulped.

"Hi, Masaki Suda desu". He muttered.

I kinda froze when i heard his voice, i cant look at him. I heard somehow huffed, maybe he thinks im a goddamn anti-social.

"Im from Tanuki, and maybe thats the reason why you dont want to speak to me, but its okay."

I can see him in peripheral view looking annoyed so, i gripped on my quill and shrugged as i face him.

"No thats not it, Uhm. Nyaro Kojima desu of Tengu. Yoroshiku." I bowed then immediately turned to Koyama-sensei as i heard his voice.

"Goodmorning class..."

I can sense Masaki-kun smiling as we continue to do some stuff in Transfiguration.

We talked from time to time and i felt comfortable beside him.

As we heard the bell rang, i immediately grabbed my books and smiled palely at him.

"Hey, do you wanna go our next class together?" He said with that annoying but adorable grin on his face.

"Uhm... actually i gotta go grab to my room first. You go ahead". I lied as i ran out from the class, leaving him dumbfoundedly.

Shinto Deities Live Purr-fect Lives in "Cat God"

  The Cat's Pajamas.

  Trying out an new anime is always a gamble, but “Cruising the Crunchy-Catalog” is here to help you hedge your bets. Each week we provide additional information and cultural context to aid anime fans in deciding whether or not they'd like to roll the bones on an unknown series.

    What's Cat God?

  Cat God (known in Japan as Nekogami Yaoyorozu, or “The Countless Things of a Cat God”) is a 2011 supernatural comedy TV anime with direction by Hiroaki Sakurai and animation by AIC PLUS+. The series is based on the Nekogami Yaoyorozu manga by Flipflops, which was serialized from 2007 – 2012 in Akita Shoten's Champion Red Ichigo seinen manga magazine.

  Crunchyroll describes Cat God as follows:

     Koyama Yuzu is running an antique shop. Mayu, the nekogami (Cat God), is living off Yuzu and leads an idle life playing games.

    Cat God is an “everyday” comedy populated by various Shinto gods and spirits. Mayu, the titular cat god, has been kicked out of Takamagahara (the Heavenly realm where the Shinto deities reside) and stripped of most of her divine powers as punishment for shirking her duties and gambling too much. As the series progresses, Mayu attempts to redeem herself, in a lazy and roundabout fashion.

    Deities and Divini-tea.

  Alongside Buddhism, Shinto is one of Japan's two major religions, and it posits a polytheistic, animistic worldview in which people, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects such as rocks can have spirits. In Cat God, this is reflected by a celestial bureaucracy of gods dressed in Heian era clothing controlling everything from the state of the local economy to the annual blooming of cherry blossoms.

    Similar to Japanese society, the pantheon in Cat God has a complex hierarchy based on duty, seniority, and familial relationships. An easy way to determine who is the most important or powerful god in a given scene is by paying attention to how the tea is served. Subordinates pour tea for their superiors in an effort to curry favor, while gods in an influential position can order lesser deities to make them tea as a display of authority.

    Parallel Plots and Product Placement.

  A cute running gag in Cat God involves the background characters known as Boss and Assistant. In scenes parallel to the main plot, Boss and Assistant end up tossed about on the winds of fortune as a result of constant run-ins with Shamo, the God of Poverty. In addition to their own story-arc, Boss and Assistant also get their own fan-service moments in the beach and onsen episodes.

    Another peculiar point of interest in Cat God is the presence of so many Sega video game consoles. Often in anime and manga, the artists will obscure recognizable brands to avoid potential legal difficulties, but in Cat God Mayu plays her favorite video games on systems that are clearly a Sega Genesis, a Sega Game Gear, a Sega Saturn, and a Sega Dreamcast.

    Sweetness and Sentimentality.

  Although Cat God is primarily a lighthearted, low-stakes comedy, it also has moments of genuine pathos. As a Cat God, it's Mayu's duty to protect misplaced memories and forgotten things, a job that parallels Yuzu's work as an antiques dealer. In the more dramatic episodes, Cat God explores themes of sorrow and loss by confronting painful memories and exploring how the past shapes the present.

    The Cat's Meow.

  Crunchyroll currently streams Cat God in 239 territories worldwide. The series is available in the original Japanese with English subtitles. Cat God is also available in North America in a collector's edition Bluray set published by NIS America under the title The Everyday Tales of a Cat God.

    Full of colorful characters and strong production design, Cat God is a gentle diversion and a pleasant way to pass the time. If you're in the mood for a bright, cheerful comedy that is sometimes bittersweet, please consider giving Cat God a try.

    Is there a series in Crunchyroll's catalog that you think needs some more love and attention? Please send in your suggestions via e-mail to [email protected] or post a Tweet to @gooberzilla. Your pick could inspire the next installment of “Cruising the Crunchy-Catalog”!
