Tiger and Bunny of Sunrise Directed by Keiichi Satou; Written by Masafumi Nishida Wild Tiger: I'm a Super Hero. I arrest criminals and save the citizens of Sternbild. I'm catching a thief right now... *runs while... causing a lot of property damage along the way*.... people's lives are more important than that!!.... *becomes slower* Yikes! My power has reached it's limit for the day! *falls* Aaaahhh!!! Somebody... *closes eyes* Dude in a Pink Robot Suit: You're quite a lame superhero to be needed some rescuing... and even be carried like a princess. Wild Tiger: *opens eyes and realizes* W-what? * Dude in a Pink Robot Suit catches the criminal and makes it to the headlines* Wild Tiger: W-WHAT??! = The next day = Wild Tiger's Boss: You are going to pay for the things you damaged. Wild Tiger: Ahahaha.... Wild Tiger's Boss: I have worse news than that... Wild Tiger: Come on, I'll pay for it. I prom- Wild Tiger's Boss: Our company is closing. You've got a new boss *hands over a business card* Wild Tiger: W-what? = Wild Tiger with New Boss = Wild Tiger's New Boss: Ah, so you're Wild Tiger. First, you need to wear a new suit. *points a cool Green Robot Suit*. And, I'm assigning you a partner. Wild Tiger: No way. Wild Tiger's New Boss: If you don't want that, then feel free to quit. Wild Tiger: Ahahaha.... fine, I'll do it. = Wild Tiger meets up with Partner = Dude in a Pink Robot Suit: Looking forward to working with you from now on. Wild Tiger: O_O.......... SETTING: Fictional City. Futuristic. ELEMENTS: Super Heroes. Live Broadcasting. Points. Sponsors. Crimes. Powers. GENRE: Action. Comedy. Mystery. DEMOGRAPHIC: Shounen. RATING: A- (AMAZING!) FAVORITISM: 4 Hearts ---> ADORATION Tiger & Bunny is not your typical superhero show... yet it is just as charming and as exciting as your favorite superhero shows~ If you look into this series as the usual comical mecha show, you'll definitely be disappointed... since it's not even a mecha show in the first place. Tiger & Bunny isn't the type of series which you can appreciate for what it appears on first impression alone, but for what it is. Tiger & Bunny has its superheroes participating in Reality TV. It's entertainment business, where the highest goal is to get good ratings. (1) It's about rampant commercialization and corporate sponsorship.(1) There have been other series which advertise, blatantly or subtely, companies that actually exist in the real world. To viewers they're considered as trolling, but only in a series like Tiger & Bunny where this kind of "trolling" is... quite appropriate. This series has been criticized for its predictability... but as if other superhero shows aren't as predictable. Cliches are alright if it's still written and executed well anyway. Besides, this series is deeper than it appears. It also serves as a social commentary, and it has more morals to share aside from the "power of love and friendship". But the BEST part of the show are the characters. It has a huge cast, but all of them had a chance to shine, and majority of them had undergone character development. They are no stereotypes, and the do great stuff in their own way. They don't need good looks or cool powers to gain fans; they're just that awesome and lovable. Praises to Tiger & Bunny for its fresh ideas, interesting premise, amazing story, and wonderful characters! This show knows how to humor you, make you cry, and drive you crazy because you are dying to find out what will happen next. It also reminds you that: Anyone can be a superhero, regardless of age and ability. Tiger & Bunny is a very enjoyable show.... I encourage you to join the fun and cheer for our favorite superheroes~ SKYHIGH!!!! w0000t!!!! (1) Ideas from the paragraph are based on or quoted from IceAndCream's review in MAL

At first I thought it was stupid. The title already sounded stupid. But that stupidity got me amused, enough to make me curious and check it out. It turns out that it was way more unique than the other superhero mecha shows that are out so far! Watching it had been so enjoyable~ ★ VERDICT:  ...read more

As Wild Tiger is one of my current male leads that I like from this year (2011), I was guttered how this episode played out. I though it was cool seeing scarf-san in this episode, as IMO she is a running joke from the production team. I still wonder how this series will play out, [...]

So we're at the penultimate episode of the series, and I really do think the episode feels like the show is approaching its finale, largely because of this episode's ending. For the most part, I liked the episode, but the beginning dragged quite a bit. The first half was basically Tiger and Barnaby biding time so their powers can recover, and the other heroes being tempted to push the button.

Call 1-800-TAIG for your very own super-powered butter knife! Slices both butter and steel! Being a Tiger & Bunny fan is suffering, as episode 24 did everything it possibly could to make us as depressed as possible. The sight of fried rice makes me want to slither into a corner and sob quietly. Until I [...]

I’m a bit sad I’ve been such a bad blogger. Not just because I’m a bad blogger, but because it means I’ll never get to feature all of the Tiger & Bunny characters in a header/thumbnail/picture thing. For this episode, I could’ve picked Origami, Dragon Kid, Rock Bison, Maverick, or the bodyguard who got iced [...] Related posts:Tiger & Bunny 23 Tiger & Bunny 17 Tiger & Bunny 06

I’m surprised Kotetsu even had enough strength to hold H-01 down all by himself. The penultimate episode unfolds as one might expect. The heroes are pushed to their physical and mental limits. Kotetsu and Barnaby are desperate to find just … Continue reading →

Who will eat Barnaby’s fried rice now?! Hard to say what this show is planning for the finale. In all it’s cheesiness, Tiger & Bunny remains to be one of the rare shows where you find most of the characters have charismatic appeal, but none more so than Kotetsu himself. There’s just something very genuine about Tiger [...]

With most of our heroes locked away with explosives strapped to their necks and Wild Tiger and Barnaby facing off against the ridiculously powerful (if unimaginatively named) H-01 robot, times are looking tough as we enter this penultimate episode of Tiger & Bunny. While Kotetsu and Barnaby are preoccupied with simply staying alive for long enough to allow their powers to recharge, the other

Now, this episode did pull a bunch of cheese balls for its penultimate episode. With that, I mean common tropes and cheesy cliches that get pulled over and over. Because of that I had a few problems with this episode, and unfortunately it’s been the least impressive Tiger & Bunny episode I’ve seen in a [...]

School, other excuses, etc. Hmm, well I have to say that the battle between Tiger and the other heroes wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for. There was a bit of scuffle, but nobody really went all out. I have to say I think I’m more disappointed that Tiger’s big plan was to bring up intimate moments with the others to shake their memories up a bit. It’s not like he’s that close with the other heroes in the first place, so it was no surprise that his plan ended up ...

Spotted at Toranoana Akihabara store is this interesting Tiger & Bunny Oshiri mousepad featuring one of the protagonist Barnaby Brooks, Jr. Apparently there is another version that features Kotetsu Kaburagi as well. The mousepad are selling for around 3,700 ...

To be honest, my favourite character in this series besides being Wild Tiger is Lunatic. As Lunatic has been missing in action for the past several episodes I wonder even if Rock Brison will get his own episode, that will provide him with some interesting background, or that the production crew will somehow tie his [...]

Let’s go over the exciting news that took place while I was slacking working. First: the last episode of Tiger & Bunny will be shown in select Japanese theaters. This is great news because it means the budget should be spectacular enough to make us forget the tremendous derp of the show’s second half. Second: [...] Related posts:Tiger & Bunny 17 Tiger & Bunny 16 Tiger & Bunny 06
