History YMMV / TigerAndBunny

** Sky High's "X. And X again". Is also turn UpToEleven in the fanworks.

* CargoShip: The stuffed bunny from Episode 5 has apparently been getting as much action as Kotetsu and Barnaby. Also popular is Kotetsu/[[BandageBabe Bandages]].

* MagnificentBastard: [[AntiVillain Yuri Petrov]], "Lunatic," is a vigilante NEXT who forgoes any attempts at fame or upholding of morality, to instead dish out justice as he sees fit. Raised by an abusive superhero father, Lunatic came to despise all forms of evil in the world, believing the most sure path to safety and peace was [[PayEvilUntoEvil the extermination of those who do wrong]], and goes about executing and assassinating countless rapists and murderers, all while [[VillainWithGoodPublicity keeping up the guise]] of the charming judge of the city of Sternbild. As Lunatic, he gains immense popularity for his effectiveness, and his code of honor leads to him going so far as to save the life of his enemy Kotetsu, noting it wouldn't be just for a hero like him to be killed. Lunatic walks away from the story as dangerous and powerful as ever, showing no signs of being stopped by anyone in his self-perceived righteous crusade.

* {{Squick}}: Blue Rose, a 16-year-old falls in love with Tiger, a man in his thirties. Of course, [[ValuesDissonance it should be noted that in Japan, where the series is made, age gaps in relationships aren't viewed as taboo and are actually quite common.]] It's also suggested in [[AllThereInTheManual side material]] that she has a [[LikesOlderMen general fetish for older men]]. It's also lessened somewhat by the fact that Kotetsu himself is [[ObliviousToLove completely oblivious]] to her crush on him.

* {{Narm}}: [[spoiler:Barnaby's breakdown scream]] in the stinger of Episode 18 is more than a little hard to not laugh at, with [[OffModel facial distortion]] to rival anything seen in ''Anime/CodeGeass''.

** Antonio Lopez aka Rock Bison is the only hero who doesn't have much focus throughout the entire show. Asides from being Kotetsu's friend and being the ButtMonkey, you know nothing about the guy unless you read the supplementary materials.

** How sexualized she is when it's revealed she's only sixteen.

* VocalMinority: Minor fan reactions to post-timeskip Barnaby, which doubles as a MisaimedFandom as Barnaby's nicer attitude is a sign of him becoming happier and more content with his life and becoming better partners with Kotetsu.

* AngstWhatAngst: By the end of the series Barnaby's relatively well-adjusted, [[spoiler: for a guy who recently discovered his father figure and sponsor, Albert Maverick, murdered his parents, [[MindRape mind-raped]] him twice into forgetting about it, murdered his foster mother, brainwashed him and the rest of the heroes into believing Kotetsu was the one responsible, and manipulated him for his entire life so he'd become a hero. After all this comes to light, Maverick tries killing everyone [[CompleteMonster without a single hint of remorse]]]].
** It's stated in ''The Rising'' that Barnaby is still dealing with the trauma of his past despite all outward appearances. It's just that he has Kotetsu to help him work through everything and has managed to grow a lot since they first became partners.
** Keith doesn't seem to care that the girl he was crushing on just disappears.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: For a time until ''The Rising'', Fire Emblem was the least popular hero of the main cast due to their harassment of male heroes and their antics could very easily push them into GayPeopleAreFunny, making many people (especially those that are LGBT+) feel as if the character was nothing more than an offensive stereotype. It wasn't until ''The Rising'' where their popularity took a massive boost as their DarkAndTragicPast was taken in both a rather realistic and sympathetic look into gender and sexual identity for Nathan, which caused many to rethink their opinion and view them more positively. Nowadays, they are a BaseBreakingCharacter instead.

* WeWantOurJerkBack: Common fan reactions to post-timeskip Barnaby.

** Fire Emblem was a BaseBreakingCharacter in season 1 due to, among other flaws,their tendency to sexually harass the other male heroes. By season 2, while they still act flirtatious at times, they don't grope their coworkers anymore.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Fire Emblem. Some viewers see them as an unflattering stereotype of LGBTQ people, which wasn't helped by their tendency to sexually harass the male heroes. However, some feel they were RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in ''The Rising'' after their backstory was revealed and learning to accept themselves. Season 2 further helps by removing the sexual harassment gag.

* RewatchBonus: The subtle hints and {{foreshadowing}} become a lot more apparent after having already watched the series once.

* DuelingWorks: With ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica,'' as both came out the same year, had no pre-existing manga source material, and both were {{deconstruction}}s of their [[MagicalGirlWarrior respective]] [[{{superhero}} genres]].

** Mr. Legend was Sternbild's first superhero, Kotetsu's inspiration, Yuri's father and that's all we know about him. We don't know why he became a hero in the first place, his real name, how he dealt with discrimination against NEXTs and helped change it or if anyone knows the truth of his death or how it was covered up.

** A big complaint about the series is that despite the show advertising eight heroes and giving them some episodes to flesh them out, the heroes sans Barnaby and Kotetsu are not actually relevant to the plot for the most part to the point if they were replaced with more generic heroes, the results would stay the same. Season 2 moves to fix this, as not only do Golden Ryan, Blue Rose, and Golden Ryan [[spoiler: formulate a plan to outsmart and nearly defeat Fugan and Mugan]], it's ultimately [[spoiler: Lara and Thomas that ultimately dispatch the twins, rather than the titular duo.]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A streaming example. [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Due legal reasons]], when Netflix started streaming the series, the logos were removed from the heros' suits, which led to some contradictions in the dialogue. The logos were fortunately left intact for the movies and season 2.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: When the series became available on Netflix, the corporate sponsor logos on the heroes' costumes were nixed. Fans were less than pleased. Part this is because the sponsor logos are plot relevant, and removing them creates a number of inconsistencies.

* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler:Maverick's plan to dispose of Kotetsu. It would probably have been easy to call up Ouroboros and arrange a heroic hospitalization, where he could do a memory edit during a visit. Instead he opts for a flashy plan that requires mindwiping everyone who knows Kotetsu's identity and then plastering his name and face all over the news, even though the necessity of the disposal is because his twenty-year edits on Barnaby's memory started failing when exposed to contradicting information. He also forgets that Kotetsu has a family, who could potentially cause the same problem. Not to mention that wiping the name Kotetsu T. Kaburagi from every record everywhere is time-consuming, probably expensive (do men in black suits get paid by the hour?), and could still fail if, say, Antonio had a note in his jacket reminding him to pay Kotetsu back. Also, you're dealing with a hero who was sponsored by a different company before Maverick had him become Barnaby's sidekick and whose [=HeroTV=] file (complete with real name) was researched by a judge who, via his anti-hero persona, had confronted him numerous times.]] It's almost like how a GambitRoulette would end if it was played out logically.
** It's even dumber than that. Maverick had Kotetsu's complete trust when he decided to put his plan in motion. Kotetsu actually called ''him'' about the holes in the story, but instead of suspecting him, he came to the conclusion that some outside party was to blame. Maverick could've easily rolled with this by framing [[spoiler:Ouroborous, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who have little use to him at this point, being more of a liability than anything else.]] He didn't even ''need'' to mindwipe anybody!]]

* ContinuityLockout: Season 2 is a sequel to ''Tiger & Bunny: The Rising'' movie meaning those who haven't watch it would be confused with the appearance of Golden Ryan, who used to be Barnaby's partner in the movie and is currently Blue Rose's partner in the show.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

** "Truth Lies at the Bottom of a Well": [[{{Sadist}} Benoit Depardieu]] has earned himself the title of "[[SerialKiller the Lady Killer]]" thanks to his history of [[SerialKiller sexually assaulting]] and murdering women, usually after viciously [[WhipItGood whipping]] and [[ElectricTorture torturing them with his electrified bullwhip]]. Having already claimed 9 victims, Benoit's latest attempt at killing a woman is thwarted by the arrival of Kotetsu. In response, Benoit flings his intended target off a rooftop to distract Kotetsu while Benoit flees, immediately hunting for another woman to torture and kill.
