Tiger & Bunny

Animation Quality: 8/10 - combines 2D and 3D well, best aspect of the show. Some of the 3D parts look clunky, however. The hands/fingers are especially bad.

Voice Acting: 7/10 - Pretty good and has some classic actors, but not amazing. All of the voices fit well, but some actors are much more believable than others.

Writing: 5/10 - The writing isn't as bad as most other reviewers complain about. That being said, it's mediocre at best. The overall long plot is especially lacking/shallow, and the short plots are usually pretty lame.

Directing: 7/10 - Decent, but some scenes are directed badly or rushed. Some of the camera work makes you wonder what the heck the director was thinking. One parts swayed the cam back and forth and actually made me nauseous.

Music: 4/10 - Basic and lacks variety. Gets repetitive quickly.

Overall: Like many Netflix animes, this one is sub par. Despite its great animation quality, its stupid premise and bad writing make it hard to watch. It's a very shallow, predictable show. The whole "sponsored TV show" version of MHA doesn't help either; makes it hard to root for the heroes. The only reason I kept watching was because it was fun to rip on. So many stupid scenes that were mind-blowingly dumb/corny that it actually became fun to watch in an ironic sense.

I watched this back when the episodes were coming out and I have now rewatched it several years later. Love this show!

This show is too good it is quite unique relationship wise. For me while watching the show, I absolutely loved Barnaby and Kotetsu's relationship as a team and as friends. The real reason I like the show is because of that! There is hardly any romance involved and this show will prove you don't need romance in everything as long that there's a great relationship of friends, family and/or even pets! This is a rare show for me I'd say, but there is a little romance. However once you see the romantic interest you know it won't go anywhere because of a certain reason that is understandable. The story is wonderful though cliché for a superhero show. The ending is great and makes you wonder if there can be more or that's good enough of a ending. The characters are likable for the most part and no doubt some of them have their own story arcs among the episodes. For me I think the show was good and I count this as my favourite anime's of all time too! Well in my opinion. So should you watch this show? Yeah go ahead! You won't be disappointed in the characters and chemistry between the main ones.

In the first season it was amazing, the second just felt like they were trying to pass it on to the new younger generation but failed to make those characters compelling enough to get invested in. Mr. Black and HIT in particular are obviously just a rehash of T&B's original dynamic, and that makes them uninteresting. Shout out to Ryan though, love that guy.

It didn't have enough Tiger and Bunny. Though I did like some of the new characters and the buddy team up idea, it felt like they made T&B's relationship more distant (to the point of even seeming OOC) and kept focus off of them for the most part. Which is a strange move for a show literally named after those characters. I think the people who made the second season wanted something from it that's severely different from what fans of the original first season wanted.

Tiger and Bunny is now one of my favourite animes of all time and I'm kicking myself for missing out on it for over a decade! If you love the superhero genre told from a strongly character-driven perspective that still has a ton of action, then you'll find the older seasons worth a watch at the very least.

The main two characters' dynamic is my favourite part and is an absolute delight to watch unfold. As the episodes progress, you get to see a lot of depth and growth from everyone. The supporting and secondary characters are mostly well developed and a lot of fun, and even the side characters who start off feeling like lesser interesting background characters or (in some cases) cliche stereotypes are built upon in later episodes to have depth too.

I've seen some reviews mentioning the sponsorship angle being an issue for them (logos on suits, heroes whose agencies require them to do ads etc..) but to me this feels exactly like what a plausible capitalist world would look like and didn't bother me, I just thought it was funny. It's a talking point in the story as a

The world is gorgeous in its own eerie kind of way with an art deco style a bit reminiscent of the original Bioshock with towering statues, retro architecture and crazy stacked levels.

The plot of the older seasons feels overall well planned out and takes you through some mostly well-paced twists and turns, even if a few topics are cliche. The newest season that just came out in 2022 is still ongoing so I can't comment as much on it yet other than so far it seems decent.

Overall, I recommend giving it a shot! It's a fun ride.
