My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising has grossed nearly $30 million since it hit theaters and probably will by the time you read this, easily surpassing the gross of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. 

The feature-length film sees Class 1-A visit Nabu Island where they finally get to do some real hero work. The place is so peaceful that it’s more like a vacation … until they’re attacked by a villain with an unfathomable Quirk! His power is eerily familiar, and it looks like Shigaraki had a hand in the plan. But with All Might retired and citizens’ lives on the line, there’s no time for questions. Deku and his friends are the next generation of heroes, and they’re the island’s only hope.

For fans who didn’t get to see the English-dubbed adaptation of Promare in theaters, Gkids is doing another run on April 8th and tickets are available here.

The Studio Trigger/XFLAG collaboration was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima, both of whom had worked together on Gurren Lagann in 2007 and Kill la Kill in 2013, with Nakashima and Trigger credited for the original work. It features character and mecha designs by Shigeto Koyama, 3DCG animation by Sanzigen and music by Hiroyuki Sawano.

In Promare, thirty years has passed since the appearance of the Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings, who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves Mad Burnish appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team Burning Rescue, and Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish begins.

The feature-film has a worldwide gross of $17 million and you can read our review of the film here.
