She looks exactly like that girl from Kuragehime.

was all fine and dandy till it turned out to be racist. terrorist just had to be black, huh japan?

Great show. And the third episode was a blast.

>>48394356

>>48394370
perhaps you should look at the character designer.

>>48394373

Hope it doesn't bomb, given the lack of superheroes in Japanese media.

>>48394370

OH SHIT I JUST NOTICED

CANT UNSEEEEE

>>48394391
But Tiger is the tsundere.

>>48394410
It's already a top-seller.

How about that? Their plan worked.

best character advertisement ever

>>48394549

one long commercial for real world products, so I reflexively reach for the remote and change to something else.

Blue Rose has a pretty nice set of lips as well. Loving the character designs in T&B.

>>48394630
That's not an answer...
>>48394735
Love the guy.

Wild TigerxBlue Rose will happen.

So...

Glasses vs. Lipstick? Which wins out?

>>48394717
Pepsi has red and blue in his logo, but blue is still dominant color. While Sprite has a green/blue logo, with equal distribution and some yellow thrown in. I don't think it'd fit the ice theme in that way. But in the "Sprite being clear" way, sure.

Also, since I prefer Pepsi/Coke to Sprite, this works for me.

>>48394426
My nickname for him is Kotetsundere.

>especially the Japanese kind where EVERYTHING is staged even in reality show
Have I got some news for you...

>>48394587
I have been drinking coka cola since for a long time, but this show has seriously made me reconsider.
If this show ever makes its way here with proper licensing and sponsorship and along with a blue rose themed ad campaign, I am going out and buying 5 cases of pepsi.

Blue Rose is voiced byMugi

>>48395061
And Origami Background by Accelerator.
Also, Barnaby is the Rail Tracer/Ichigo, IIRC.

Hiring the Zetman guy as character designer was a brilliant choice.

this guy right here

Where's all of this TigerxBlue Rose coming from? Mis it hinted in the third episode or something?

I need an explanation here

All this show needs to do is continue with the good interaction between the two MCs, everything else about it is great, but the way they played the dynamic between them in ep3 is what made it much better in my opinion.

I think this show would do really well here in the west if it keeps it up, especially since we have such a huge market for Superheroes comparative to Japan.

Also: More of this guy.

>I always wanted to watch an anime that’s just nothing but commercial endorsements for companies that I don’t care about. Now if they managed to sneak in an iPad mecha or Orange Crush mecha into Tiger & Bunny, I’d be interested. Horrible CGI work complements the lame premise of superheroes competing on reality TV where an aging, washed-up star is going through a mid-career crisis nicely. I was watching Initial D Second Stage (the one where Takumi blows out his engine) recently, and the CGI work on that is just a bit worse than this show. 10 years later, and they can barely top Initial D, which wasn’t even pretty for its day?

I don't understand people refusing to watch it because of the in-series ads. You barely notice them and they're not even a part of the show, but every "review" I've seen acting like an ad is the center of attention in every shot.

>>48395801

Why the fuck do they think it's a mecha anime?

>>48395979
The thing that gets me is she can't grasp a VERY SIMPLE SUPERHERO SHOW.

Tiger & Bunny is not complex at all, it's very simple, it makes plenty of sense.

And it's not a goddamn mecha show, I had no idea why she thought that.

AND FIRE EMBLEM IS FABULOUS, NOT A DRAG QUEEN, A DRAG QUEEN WOULD REQUIRE HIM TO BE CROSSDRESSING

>>48395801
this has to be someone trolling, right guys? right?

Did Blue Rose simply try to keep the Ice Skating hall from toppling over for show, or does activating her power really strengthen her body as well?

>>48395981
My same thoughts exactly.

Oh, and dropping CCS? Calling it "not your typical shoujo"? These people are fucking nuts.

>>48396134
I imagine they ALL get somewhat stronger because they're heroes. tiger and bunny just make it their specialty.

Going through the posts systematically.
Where do they say that they're dropping it?

So, have you all had awkward boners for Bunny yet

HE'S PRETTY, ALRIGHT? DON'T JUDGE ME

I dont even know why I'm in this thread, I don't even watch this show.

Brrr, so cold.


For the sake of going a tad more on-topic and because it interests me: Who do you think the Ouroboros are?
An Ouroboros is a snake that bites their own tail and is regularly used by people IRL and in fiction to symbolize eternity.

One such instance is the time-travel show Noein, another Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.

>>48396385
A man shouldn't have that kind of boner-inducing hair because it gives me a weird feeling to. You are not alone.

>>48396554
I bet this guy/girl belongs to Ouroboros, if it's an organization.

Do anime blogs consider reviewing episodes as just summarizing everything that happened in it in their own words? That isn't even a review, that's just telling a little story.

>>48396459
Yes?
Oh... yes, indeed.

>>48396554
We would have to see more of them to really get why they use that symbol. But they probably are powerfull.

>>48396554
>Wheel of time

>>48396519
well, it only looks like they've been around since fall, so I'm not too surprised. why only two people are covering most of the shows while the other four aren't doing much is a bit confusing. along with why they do 5Ds 3 times a week.

>>48396599
Damnit, that's the next question I wanted to ask.

>>48396426
Give it a shot, it's a very good show that shows a lot of potential.

I thought that Albert Maverick scared him

>>48396608

>>48396599
He is either the boss or the first bad guy we will see. Im thinking the later since they wont show the big bad guy until the end

Why do people keep complaining about the ads? Do they think they're making some kind of statement? For fuck's sake, it's as if they think we don't already realise there's product placement. As if this shit that's clearly stated in the show's description has gone completely over our heads and is turning us into mindless sheep.

We know it's there. It's shameless. We know it's shameless. Sunrise knows it's shameless. Sunrise knows we know it's shameless. That's the fucking point. I'll be honest the product placement left a bad taste in my mouth initially, by which I mean the first five minutes. Then I got over it because
a) the product placement plays a part in the show's main theme of commercialization (because seriously, if random people in the world started gaining superpowers right now, this is exactly what would happen)
b) built upon this foundation of commercialization is what has so far been a very clever deconstruction, with likable characters and entertaining episodes. It has substance.

If any of you are put off watching just because of the product placement, please just give it a chance. You won't disappointed (or if you are disappointed, the DRINK PEPSI BUY IPHONES FROM SOFTBANK won't be your reason)

>>48396776
Or maybe he's a new hero, though I doubt it. He doesn't have any sponsor on.
Or a hero that works for Ouroboros.

>>48396769

it's a flashback, so he is here younger

Ah. He got fat.

>>48396804
That guy does not look like a hero his look just screams hey look at me I am evil

>>48396608
My theory is that they're a club of scientists that use the superhero shows to gain more support as well as money for their breeding experiment.

>>48396801
I would like for you to know I am saving your post for future threads.

>>48396804

I don't think he's a hero, partially because there's so many of them already, but I kind of want to see an un-sponsored hero. Seeing how an independent one would work in a city that's media and ad dominated would be interested.

Then again that's fan-fiction level speculation and he's probably a bad guy.

>>48396776
He could be a bad guy that gets defeated halfway through the series, only for the heroes to discover there is an evil mastermind behind it all in the 2nd half.

This, so fucking much.

I originally didn't even planned on watching this after noticing the chart's description said "Sunrise is auctioning off advertisement space on the two titular mechs.". I discarded it as tasteless and thought it'd have cheesy action just to blatantly advertise the products.

But after seeing the initial reactions to the show I decided to give it a shot and was completely blown away. The ads make sense in-universe and aren't even that bad. On top of that, the premise, action and characters all turned out to be really fun.

It's definitely among my top 3 this season.

>complain about people who stream

Stay classy, /a/.

Okay, here's my theory.
Ouroboros is the organization/something behind all the superhero business, and also the robberies and all this shit they have to fight. The heroes' identities are confidential (I guess), and that's why Barnaby chose to be a more "public" hero, to let them know that he's here. Or maybe Ouroboros is the government itself.

That said, it's probably not true, but whatever.

The city of Sternbild. Just go with that.

Due to all the English everywhere though, I'd say it's West-inspired

>>48397037
But it's a pretty accurate summary, it's helpful.

>>48397157
Concerning this guy: he's either gonna die heroically, or he's this show's Captain Amazing to the others' Mystery Men.

Also, the lack of supervillains thus far is most ominous. I'm betting they get introduced into the equation to raise viewership, and it would be especially funny if they get just as much sponsorship and the public gets to root for their favorite bad guys in match ups with the heroes.
