Tiger & Bunny
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since Tiger & Bunny debuted back in the spring season of 2011 and caught a lot of folks by surprise. With its clever use of marketing and promotion in the show and its very Japanese take on superheroes, it ended up with a strong two season run that culminated with two theatrical features. The property has been picked up and almost completely released by Viz Media in North America as they’ve got the second movie deal with still and they’ve also released a few different volumes of the manga. The Bandai Channel is celebrating the anniversary with a fun little thank you video that they’ve added to their YouTube channel this week.
Plot concept: Stern Bild City is a thriving metropolis where superheroes called “NEXTs” protect the streets, sponsors pull the strings, and a hugely popular show called Hero TV captures all of it. Veteran hero Kotetsu Kaburagi (a.k.a. Wild Tiger) and hotheaded new hero Barnaby Brooks, Jr. (nicknamed Bunny by his friends) are forced to team up not only to protect Stern Bild City, but to earn as many points on Hero TV as possible.
Joined by a diverse cast of heroes, all with different powers and answering to their own corporate sponsors, Tiger and Bunny must find a way to work together, uncover the secret of the “Ouroboros,” and earn enough points to become this year’s King of Heroes.
