Tiger & Bunny

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

Honestly, I didn't get into Tiger and Bunny when it first came out (like 11 years ago), and only recently started watching them.

Season 1 is kinda okay in writing. Plot wise is just average but what shines are the characters. Both tiger and bunny shined as main characters. The drama, the relationship between them (yes to shipper). It's just beautiful.

And now... season 2. Got to say it start pretty pg-13. Less violence. Some fanservice plot story. Then it suddenly freaking pick up on the last few episodes. Violence got dialled up to 100%!! And more!! There was blood and lots of broken bone. It got super exciting despite some iffy scene. Super fun season. I can't wait for more.

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.

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.

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.
