Tiger & Bunny

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.

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!

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.

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 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.
