Gee, I know this is Sunrise and all, but I refuse to believe a supremely GAR character like Kotetsu’s last words could possibly be “Hey – you have pretty long eyelashes.” I have a hard time coming up with anything negative to say about this penultimate episode of Tiger & […] Read more
I’m of two minds about the direction Tiger & Bunny has taken over the last few episodes. What started out as a very Japanese take on American superhero comic has followed a very conventional superhero comic route as it sets up the grand finale. In the process, some of the […] Read more
The general reaction to episode 22 off Tiger & Bunny seems somewhat muted, but I liked it a lot. It may not have been a “wow!” compared to the great run of eps we’ve had lately, but that’s as much a statement about how consistent T & B is as […] Read more
Pound for pound, Tiger & Bunny may be the best show of the year in combining all the elements – character, plot, pathos, humor, action – into a wholly cohesive entertainment. There are shows that do any one of those elements better, but none that do all of them as […] Read more
I won’t presume to speak for everyone, but I would think most viewers would concede that the developments in episode 20 of Tiger & Bunny were immensely entertaining. Where some will probably complain is in the area of believability, but I’m going to speak out in defense of the series […] Read more
Tiger & Bunny has the occasional habit of starting off making you think an episode will be one thing, and ending up making it something different altogether. Kawaii! I could practically here the “Squee!” from the fujoshi as the first part of the episode played out. Perhaps this will take […] Read more
Let the wild theories start flying again. Bunny is a cyborg. Bunny is an outright robot. Kotetsu’s brother is a NEXT. Who knows, anymore? There’s almost too much happening in Tiger & Bunny lately, though most of it is certainly compelling. If I’m to find fault with this episode, it’s […] Read more
In many ways, this was the episode that the series had been building towards from the very beginning. And with a couple of quibbles, it mostly delivered when the chips were down. Tiger & Bunny has been avoiding the subject of Kotetsu and Kaede’s relationship for 16 episodes – and […] Read more
Well, along with some popular fan theories, that “thud” you heard was all pretense of Tiger & Bunny being a light-hearted and upbeat series (or was it Kotetsu hitting the dumpster?) Episode 16 was epic and tragic, but it certainly wasn’t happy. It took the series to darker places than […] Read more
This was another pretty solid episode of Tiger & Bunny, and strongly portending dark times to come. But I couldn’t help but notice that the central premise was a fairly blatant ripoff of (Sunrise seies) Outlaw Star episode 20, “Cats, Girls and Spaceships” – the best ep of one of […] Read more
