It’s an eventful week for Tiger & Bunny. New OP, new OD, 10 month time skip, and some new attitudes among the major characters. This ep showed why it’s so interesting to have a hero like Kotetsu that’s so different from the normal anime leading man. Romance is more or […] Read more
I guess we have out answer about Joker Jake Martinez – doesn’t look like he’s the top boss after all. Assuming what appeared to happen actually did, Jake was taken out by the crashing helicopter. That’s a neat way to eliminate him without getting cold blood on Barnaby’s hands, but […] Read more
“Take Heed of the Snake In the Grass” The big question I see at this point is this – is Jake Martinez a final boss, or is he just another bump in the road? With another cour still to go, it seems pretty early to be battling the ultimate villain. […] Read more
Sometimes this series feels more like an anime and sometimes like an American superhero comic, and this arc is definitely taking on the air of something straight out of DC’s classic library. We have our supervillain, that’s for sure, and we’re digging pretty deep into the well of heroes to […] Read more
An interesting episode of T & B this week, though ultimately disappointing in that it once again teased some father/daughter time with Kotetsu and Kaede, and didn’t deliver. I don’t blame the girl for being pissed off. In general I liked the first part of this ep the best – […] Read more

After watching this week’s edition of T & B, the question that stands out in my mind is this – why is the Hero Academy full of students with absolutely useless powers? The episode followed a pretty standard formula. Youngster is depressed and questioning his place in the world. Kotetsu […] Read more
Another almost totally serious episode of Tiger & Bunny this week. It seems clear now that we’ve moved through the initial phase of episodic and frequently light eps, and that Ouroboros is going to be the major plotline for the series – at least for this cour. There’s an interesting […] Read more
We got the answer to the one major looming question about this show – will there be a recurring plotline? With two cours to fill it always seemed as if there would be, but for five episodes Tiger & Bunny seemed quite content to be an enjoyable superhero slice of […] Read more
An extremely low-key but enjoyable episode this week, as it’s L’il Bunny’s birthday and Tiger decides to throw a surprise party for his grumpy partner. What with his family being dead and all and only a maid to bake him a cake you’d think Barnaby would appreciate it, but he’s […] Read more
