Tiger & Bunny

Had to download it, since the nice looking videos were all YOUSMELL, which sucks, and the good subtitles all had crappy video qualities...

As for this episode..............the main character is likable. And I'm most interested in seeing the electric green haired kid, and the japanese looking super hero who only make background appearances.

---

There are two superhero anime this season...this and X-Men, of the two, this is by FAR the superior of the two shows.

I wish they didn't make so many of the non-superhero adults such Gonks though...and that Legend guy...and the gay black. Ah, but since the last one looks like he's comedy relief, he sorta gets a pass I guess.

Dude, Mr. Legend is a badass. He's fat, but he's got the voice of a hero and is an inspiration to children.

. . . Why are you people not just watching the Viz simulcast? http://www.vizanime.com/

Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.

Viz is doing this show?

Anyways, same reason why many are not doing Hulu.

I don't see "many." I just saw you mentioning "What's with the hulu commercials?" and me being confused.

Because, see, I watched it over the shoulder of a friend of mine who introduced me to the series. And it's a funny thing — he has adblock. Meanwhile I just have been led to accept that ads online are part of paying for bandwidth, so I deal. Life isn't over because you had to endure 30 seconds of someone selling something at you.

You just...don't...get it...

This was what I meant when I said "I'll wait for better anime stream sites''" awhile ago.

Yeah, Mr. Legend is pretty cool. He's not just an old, fat superhero — He's an old, fat superhero who can probably out-superhero you and your Heroic Build any day of the week.

He's Accelerator after spending 20 years as a couch potato and losing his psycho laughter...atleast that's what I assume his super power is supposed to be.

"Every opinion that isn't mine is subjected to Your Mileage May Vary."

Oh no... he's Touma and Accelerator after they do the fusion dance and become one.

I kept waiting for them to subvert the kid's redemption in some way, but they didn't. I suppose that's a good thing, but I just had the feeling that the show was crueler than that. I'm not sure why they wouldn't get ridiculous bonus points for converting the villain though. That's dramatic and heartwarming, and presumably increases their ratings a lot, so why wouldn't they reward the heroes for it?

The point system is arbitrary and not geared towards fairness, that's why.

I've launched a character sheet for it, so any help with that would be awesome.

I really was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I am (even though we're just two episodes in), honestly; I almost didn't even check out the first episode because the description on the chart didn't grab me. Then I watched the trailer, and while the Conspicuous CG was rather jarring at first, it's easy to get used to. Still wondering why Fire Emblem is full CG while Dragon Kid and Blue Rose aren't, though. Looks tacky as hell.

People're already saying it's the Ensemble Dark Horse of the season, heh.

Just watched the first episode, so far the characters seem flat to me and the CGI sticks out like a sore thumb. But I may watch further just to see if it gets better.

^^I can second that; it's being declared the show that brought 4 boards together (/co/, /a/, /m/, and /toy/).

Just finished the first episode, and am about to watch the second; loving it so far. There's been a lot of anime influencing western animated shows over the past decade or so, but not so much vice-versa (Big O being the notable exception, and that bombed in Japan), so I'm very interested to see how it'll go over in Japan, considering these are very Western-style super heroes. And someone mentioned Mystery Men awhile back, so let me just say I think Sky High is either a)this show's Captain Amazing or b)he's gonna die.

I'll turn your neocortex into a flowerpot!

The OP is terrible.

The show's fun, though.

^ Really? I thought it was tolerable, although I guess it must be completely unremarkable also because I can't remember what it's like, nor what the song is.

Tumblr here.

Really? I rather liked it. The song is standard Sunrise but pretty good and the lyrics and animation really gives you a feel for the show.

OK, maybe "Terrible" implied it's actively offensive, and it's not that bad. But really, the song isn't very good, the stuff happening on screen is not very exciting/interesting/appealing, and it doesn't really seem to "blend" with the song at all. It's all in all very... notgood.

Must say, I actually quite like all the Product Placement. Having ads from real-world companies gives the whole thing an extra air of authenticity... and some epic Biting-the-Hand Humour.

What's precedent ever done for us?

That's the only reason why I find the CGI annoying actually, it isn't consistent with the heroes.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

I bet the CG girls didn't turn out so hot so they went with normal animation... Or Fanservice reasons.

I don't really mind the CG it's not as bad as Sunrise's other works.

Episode 3.

It may not work for you if you don't live in the US, sorry.

Some of the streaming sites already have it subbed.
