Tiger & Bunny

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.

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.

Took a fantastic and entertaining season one, then castrated, lobotomized and PC principaled every inch of it to create the most pathetic buddy-buddy, cry-fest anime on the air in S2.

If you love watching 20/25 minutes of people talking about their feelings... S2 was written for you...enjoy!

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.

I completely agree with "A waste of time" review by "sbr-658-9530574" that was written on August 2018. I've just watched 13 episodes which seems like a complete season with the whole upbringing and the end of one major event.

This show is about superheroes which are selling themselves out for sponsorship to do what they like and obey every command - a puppet show. Why I called it a sellout is because you can literally see uncensored or unchanged company names throughout the anime and it portrays the major role of those sponsors, how they control the play out of these called "super heroes".

The dialogues are dull and boring, the main character (Kotetsu) is underrated and being shunned even though he most of the time figures out who did what, but is never credited and that seemed very annoying to me especially at the end of episode13 where I decided not to watch this garbage anymore.

The animation/drawing art is really great and the voice actors (dubbed) as well, well but like I said sponsorship... Though ironically this anime lacks so much in the superhero department as nothing "awesome" or intriguing is shown by those superheroes. I'd rather suggest to watch Lego movies of superheroes, even though they are chilched, they are funnier and more interesting, lmao.

But yeah, I would suggest to skip this anime, maybe movies of the series are better. Also there are a lot of characters which could be seem as main, but there is no progression on them and the writing is very poor. The main protagonist/s Bunny and Tiger are the ones who evolve the most between each other (because they are a team), though it's still very slow and doesn't even seem like progress.

Overall this anime is trash, just a flashy and sparkly diamond made out of plastic. The hype is from people who haven't actually seen a decent anime. The only thing that kept me watching for this long was the animation and art style which I like, really speaks of quality, though everything else made it really boring and one episode seemed like it was going for an hour.
