Tiger and Bunny
This is a tale of heroes in a commercialized world. People, called "NEXT", are born with special powers. These people then use those powers for good, becoming Heroes. Only, there's a catch. They are hired and sponsored by corporations and wear logos of those companies. They compete in Heroes TV where their crime fighting exploits are recorded by television crews and they are awarded points for their good deeds. Now into this pretty cynical setting, let's throw in a hero who fights merely for the people. Wild Tiger aka Kotetsu, is an older hero who naively believes that he's fighting merely for justice. As a result, he's rather rash and destructive in his efforts to keep the peace. Ultimately, his company closes down their heroes department cause he costs them too much to maintain and is the lowest scoring of all the Heroes. Kotetsu is handed off to another company where they ask him to take part in the first super hero team and play second fiddle to a younger hero with the same power as him! Barnaby, whom Kotetsu dubs Bunny, is only into the hero business for the recognition and they get off to a rough start. It looks to be set for an interesting ride. So far, I really love it. The character designs are nice. It's actiony. Despite the rather cynical premise and the potential for the Heroes to be cutthroat jerks, they all seem to genuinely like each other and get along. This anime is really a lot of fun! So is anybody else watching it? Because you totally should be! :D |
Really? Nobody is watching Tiger and Bunny? But it's so awesome! And it's streaming for free on Hulu! Come on. Someone needs to fangirl over it with me. D:
|
I heard of it but haven't got around to watching it yet. I'll have to watch it soon. It sounds like something I'd like.
|
I definitely recommend it. It's my favorite anime this season. It's got action and humor and all sorts of fun stuff in it. :D

Hmm well the concept of tiger and bunny is interesting but i really don't understand how everything works cause yeah everyone wants to be a hero but that pepsi girl is that really her powers or were they made? And then how come the guy isnt with his daughter/ his wife(will they do a episode of her, to tell the audience what happen to her?) I would recommend it alot but that anime make you ask questions like mines or wonder if it can possible every happen for reals. i only wonder is there a manga of it cause i think that would be easier for me to understand than watching the anime, i could watch it time to time but it wont go at my pace so i would have to rewind to look at it once more to understand =_= But yeah its good and awesome :3

I'm not really sure what you're asking actually. Blue Rose' powers are ice. The gun is just a prop. And it's been implied that his wife is dead (possibly as a result of him being a hero) and his daughter is being raised by her grandmother to keep her safe and because of his busy and erratic schedule.

Yay! I have converted someone to a fan. :D I really love the show. And the more we go along, the more we learn about all the heroes.
