Plot[]

Further information: List of Tiger & Bunny characters

The series takes place in "NC 1978" in a fictional, re-imagined version of New York City called Stern Bild City, where 45 years before, superpowered individuals known as "NEXT" (an acronym standing for Noted Entities with eXtraordinary Talents) started appearing and some of them became superheroes. Each of the city's most famous superheroes work for a sponsor company and their uniforms also contain advertising for real-life companies. Their heroic activity is broadcast on the popular television show "Hero TV", where they accumulate points for each heroic feat accomplished (arresting criminals or saving civilians, for example) and the best ranked hero of the season is crowned "King of Heroes".

The story mainly focuses on veteran hero Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, a.k.a. Wild Tiger, who is assigned a new partner: a young man named Barnaby Brooks, Jr. who has the same power as Kotetsu. However, Barnaby and Kotetsu have trouble working together, as they have conflicting opinions on how a superhero should act, while at the same time they are trying to crack the mystery of the murder of Barnaby's parents. In addition, the appearance of a homicidal vigilante NEXT named "Lunatic" stirs up the public and makes them question the place of heroes in the city.

Critical response[]

Story and genre[]

The show's take on the superhero genre was singled out for praise by critics. Allen Moody of THEM Anime Reviews gave the series 4/5 stars, praising its ability to use familiar aspects of the genre in "novel ways".[48] However, Moody states that the second half of the series would have benefitted from "a break or two"; especially regarding the last six episodes.[48] IGN's Dale Bashir described the series as "unique", standing out because of its blend of Japanese and American superhero staples.[49] In a retrospective review of anime from the 2010s, Lauren Orsini of Forbes described the anime as one of the best of 2011, describing it as a "love letter to the superhero genre" and enjoying its more optimistic tone compared to that of The Avengers.[50] Similarly, Sage Ashford of Comic Book Resources described Tiger & Bunny as the fourth best superhero anime of the decade, pointing out that the heroes having real-life sponsors can be viewed as a commentary on modern-day superheroes.[51] Echoing such statement, ComicsAlliance's Tom Speelman described the anime as not only being "genuinely gripping and engaging", but also a "smart exploration" of not only the superhero genre—with Kotetsu's genuine desire to help people evoking the Golden Age of Comic Books, while Barnaby's backstory the Bronze Age—but also "reality TV and celebrity culture".[52] Anime Network's Seb Reid described the shows as well-written and a "pleasure to watch", and similarly to Orsini, also reacted positively to its lighthearted tone, showing that superheroes don't need to "be dark and husky-voiced".[53] Seid took note that the series improved as it progressed and revealed more about Barnaby's backstory and the mystery regarding his parents' death.[54] The Fandom Post's Chris Beveridge also commended the series in its use of the superhero genre by putting a "Japanese take on it".[55]

Kotetsu and Barnaby[]

Kotetsu and Barbaby and the relationship between them was received positively. Charles Solomon of IndieWire noted that while the concept of a "mismatched duo" is not original, it is "infinitely recycable", something which Tiger & Bunny showcases through their relationship.[56] Solomon also praised the English dub's voice actors for making the characters both believable and comedic.[56] Orsini also took note of Kotetsu and Barnaby's relationship.[50] Syfy's Michelle Villanueva also commended the characters' relationship, stating that the show "excels with the Buddy Cop trope" and enjoyed the Kotetsu and Barnaby growing from reluctant teammates to best friends, as well as their banter.[57] Beveridge also praised their relationship, finding it appropriately comedic,[58] opinionating that both characters being adults enhances their relationship and the show, making it a "treat to watch".[59][60]

Regarding Kotetsu, Beveridge described hims as the "conscience" of the show.[61] Reid praised Kotetsu's Japanese voice actor—Hiroaki Hirata—for giving depth to the character,[53] and also enjoyed latter episodes showcasing Kotetsu's motivations and relationship with his family;[62] his relationship with his daughter Kaede being described as touching.[63]

Other characters[]

Critics reacted positively to the supporting characters in the series; Seid described it as "driven by its characters",[62] who are the "true strength" of the series.[63] Moody found all of the supporting heroes and Lunatic entertaining, though admonished the fact Rock Bison and Fire Emblem do not get any episodes focusing on them.[48] Speelman also described the characters as being one viewers "grow to love", singling out Dragon Kid.[52] Reid also described her as one of his favorite characters.[53]

Beveridge singled out Lunatic for being a menacing villain and adding a challenge to the main characters,[64] also taking note of Martinez's role during the half-way point of the series.[65]

Other[]

The action sequences received praise. Solomon praised them,[56] as did Moody.[48] Beveridge also commended the action sequences and described them as "great".[58]
