The whole damn show is overflowing with fabulous.... Anyway....

New episode has subs.... Let's get things started....

(http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/3955/1307297291095.jpg)

With that out of the way....

I would say the shit just got real.... But it was always real....

Sky High is so moe that he gets sparkles and bubbles even when he walks his dog.... I don't usually HNNNGGGG for men but this is really close....

And so it seems that Origami Cyclone is going to act as a decoy Jake in the next episode.... Now those times people said "Origami Cyclone = First Hero to die fucking calling it" makes me wonder if they could be right....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 12 June, 2011, 07:44:01 am
OH GOD THEY WERE RIGHT, HE'S GOING TO DIE! JAKE WAS JUST ABOUT TO MOTHERFUCKING MURDER HIM BEFORE THE PREVIEW (WHICH HE'S NOT IN)! DAMN YOU ANON WHO FUCKING CALLED IT!

Seriously I'm pretty sure he's a dead man....



Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 12 June, 2011, 08:23:14 am
I still need to catch up. I think the last one I watched was episode 7.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 12 June, 2011, 08:35:45 am
But we're on 11.... And shit is happening....

You don't even know man....

Ivan is gonna die....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 12 June, 2011, 08:44:53 am
Who's Ivan again?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny

Origami Cyclone.....

Oh.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 28 June, 2011, 03:37:52 pm
We're only halfway through the season, we can't have a hero die on us just yet. God damn this show just keeps getting better and better. Good to know the Japanese can do superheroes right!

...

That came out wrong.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 28 June, 2011, 03:54:22 pm
It was a close call though.... And /a/ had been saying it from the start so things got pretty real....

Anyway.... Tiger actually got me there when he said Jakes other power has hearing.... I don't mean I thought it was hearing.... The episode before made it clear it was mind reading.... I mean I actually thought Tiger was that dumb....

Also I think you should be watching Steins;Gate too if you're not already.... It's not **** like Chaos;Head.... It's awesome..... Don't go into my topic because I'm about to talk about it though and there are some big spoilers....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 04 July, 2011, 11:31:47 am
Ok I forgot to talk about this yesterday but here goes anyway....

So Tiger's power got stronger.... Seem that red glow Jake had is something you get when your power is stronger.... But who cares about that? Wasn't Blue rose cute treasuring something Tiger got her....

Also what is with this "Scarf-tan" who keeps showing up in the background? Is she Origami Cyclone sister or something? Or maybe just the final boss....

But but but.... Sky High episode next.... He's in love.... It's going to be an awesome episode.... Probably very moe....

dude, u abuse the word moe as much as a neckbeard calls any anime chick who happens to know anything about the opposite sex a slut.

Oh man this weeks episode.... Sky High reaches high levels of moe and is such a woobie....

Why do they have to make him suffer so much? First he's becoming less popular, then his love is a robot, then he kills her without realising it and waits for her on that bench alone with flowers....

Fuck you Sunrise....

Then I read this fanart comic on Pixiv where he comes to the bench everyday and talks to himself for a year.... Then he professes him love to her even though she's not there....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 10 July, 2011, 10:25:36 pm
Jesus that episode was tragic. Poor Sky High. And now Kotetsu is losing his powers as well and becoming more distant with his daughter. I'm not sure this show will ever pick up at this rate...


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 25 July, 2011, 12:17:07 am
Wow, I never thought the most tragic thing that could happen would be Kotetsu getting his powers back...


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 25 July, 2011, 01:24:20 am
Yeah I hope that this ends with a powerless Kotetsu living happly with his daughter.... And the fujoshis would want similar except Bunny would be there as her new mother....

All the while Sky High waits on a park bench....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 25 July, 2011, 01:46:44 am
I dunno, it looks like his daughter is shaping up to be Wild Tiger's successor. That would be a pretty interesting twist. It would also make Kotetsu the longest decoy protagonist ever.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 31 July, 2011, 06:24:36 am
So Bunny is having a breakdown and can't remember shit right.... Now let's debate why....

So it's obvious that someone is manipulating his memories.... Someone like Maveric.... See he could be a NEXT.... With memory altering powers.... He could be the leader of Ouroboros.... He could have wanted Jake taken out because he was just too crazy to order around.... Somebody in Ouroboros steps out of line and then Bunny remembers who killed his parents.... And then they find this out when Kaede meets him and shakes his hand revealing his power....

Of course that's just one thoery....

There is also a theory that Bunny is a robot.... Created by his parents.... He replaced the real Bunny when he died along with his parents....

Also....

Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 31 July, 2011, 10:36:16 pm
Damnit! That robot theory is probably right, especially with the static-way his memory changed. I found that really suspicious. And it would explain why he sees himself killing his parents at the very end.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 01 August, 2011, 03:56:55 am
There are some major holes in the robot theory.... Like how Jake could read his mind.... How people have seen him grow up.... Things like that....

Also speaking of Jake.... He looked pretty awesome in that flashback....

While watching the episode, I was so sure that kidnapping was staged. That Jake kidnapped her and never told her parents at all. That's why they never showed up and that way he could read her mind to manipulate her into following him. But if they were gonna do that they would've done it in the last episode.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 01 August, 2011, 10:58:28 am
I don't know.... Her parents hated her quite a lot....

Now let's stop the crazy theory talk.... And talk about Scarf-tan.... That umbrella she was holding.... Didn't take long for someone to find out where to buy it.... I forget sometimes how soaked in product placement this show is.... But anyway.... I'm sure she must be important.... She just has to be the final boss.... Right?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 01 August, 2011, 11:41:15 am
Sorry, who's Scarf-tan?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 01 August, 2011, 12:10:50 pm
You know that girl who almost always seems to appear in somewhere in an episode wearing a scarf? She was used as a human sheild by a bunch of criminals.... Tiger knocked over her trolly of cans on Bunny's birthday.... She sits in the forground when Ben tells Tiger about Mr. Legend losing his powers.... Helped Rock Bison when he was picking up rubish to help the community.... And various crowd screens....

Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 07 August, 2011, 03:41:05 am
Well pretty much called it.... Though I was wrong about him being the leader.... Now I wonder if the last part will happen too....



Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 08 August, 2011, 12:14:41 am
Wow, I did not see that coming... Makes me wonder how his kid's gonna react after they arrest him. Maybe we'll be looking at a time skip in the future with all these young NEXT's coming out of the woodwork. It'd be interesting to see Kotetsu's daughter and that boy who could animate objects as heroes in the future.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 08 August, 2011, 03:03:52 am
How could you not see it coming when I pretty much told you how it went last week?

And I don't think there's enough time for a time skip or much need.... It's not like Sunrise see this show as anything more than a way to make money.... Right now their money is going on everything but T&B.... If you compare the animation of this and Sacred Seven then you'll see just how little care they have for T&B....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 08 August, 2011, 10:06:43 am
You expect me to remember something from a whole week ago? You sir give me far too much credit!

Interesting. T&B is the only anime I'm watching right now, so I'm not really in the know.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 14 August, 2011, 08:23:57 am
Don't you just hate Maverick right now? Instead of altering the memories of everyone who could mess things up he instead kills a helpless old lady and instead of just framing Kotetsu for the crime he makes everyone forget who he is....

So that pin will probably help Bunny to remember who Kotetsu is.... It was a pretty important object in the first ED and Kotetsu said it'll make a nice memory of the time they spent together.... And for Karina.... She has that towel.... Which they showed this episode she still uses.... And it has Kotetsu's last name on it.... And there's Ben he knows Kotetsu pretty well.... And I guess everyone else has something Kotetsu will bring up that will make them remember....

And other loose ends like phone numbers and probably alot of records at Apollo Media that could destroy Maverick's memory thing.... And if you look at what Yuri is looking at in the preview.... Well it was the phone records at Apollo Media.... And I recall the creator of the show hinting at an unlikly duo.... So.... Tiger & Lunatic.... Or if it really is an unexpected duo then I guess Kaede with Ben.... Either way I stil think Kaede's power will help out Maverick somehow.... The fact they introduced her copy power just seems to point towards it....

And just what is Scalf-tan planning?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 22 August, 2011, 11:06:41 am
A little late this week but it was a good episode all the same....

That "Dark Tiger" that showed up doesn't seem human.... I think he's a robot.... I mean he doesn't talk at all and the way he moves....

And I told you Yuri is on the ball.... Saving Kotetsu like that was awesome.... And Ben was awesome too....

So I guess if Kaede's power works the way we think it works.... She now has MAverics memory altering powers.... But the preview doesn't sound to good for her.... What with Kotetsu shouting no after wondering why she's there....

Still looks like somehow he'll get his green suit back.... I'm thinking Ben and Saito team up as the unexpected duo....

And there were spoilers saying to watch the sidecar as Kotetsu will sovle the situation in a very Kotetsu way.... Also they said a hero will die....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 25 August, 2011, 05:36:46 pm
Finally caught up on this the other day. Watched all the way from episode 8 to 21 in one day. The new OP and ED are growing on me, though I didn't like them much at first.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 25 August, 2011, 06:02:09 pm
Excellent....

Care to join in the speculation then? It's hard doing this by myself....

Also let's hope sunrise pulle out their wallets for the last few episodes.... I'm sick of all this quality.... It's been gettin worse.... Sacred Seven doesn't deserve the nice animation it's been getting so they could at least go with a couple of QUALITY episodes so that the show making the money gets to look nice.... The action hasn't been too bad but they've been cutting corners everywhere they can..... I mean when they're in the gym talking all the heroes look like crap....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 25 August, 2011, 06:14:29 pm
What's there to speculate?

Time for Tiger and Bunny to kick some ass! I get the feeling next episode will end the arc.

I talked a friend into watching this series, and he says he can't get past how big of a douche Bunny is in the earlier episodes...


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 05 September, 2011, 02:35:08 am
I doubt the next episode will end the arc.... I mean I can't see them having an anti-climatic last episode.... Epsecially if they're showing it it cinemas.... Plus there's too much to wrap up in one episode....

Also Ben and Saito team up....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 06 September, 2011, 05:49:20 am
The longer this goes on, the more holes which seem to pop up in Maverick's plan. Was it really necessary to extend the Barnaby's parents thing?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 06 September, 2011, 11:54:20 am
He should have stuck to his original plan.... But he just had to be one of those over confident villians who takes too many risks....



Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 06 September, 2011, 04:05:35 pm
Its weird how the plotline with Tiger losing his powers has been thrown the the sidelines and not mentioned in like 5 episodes. I wonder if that'll be brought up again in the next episode.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 06 September, 2011, 05:13:00 pm
Yeah there's that which can easily be worked into the next couple of episodes and then there's the Yuri issue.... Just what are they going to do with him? They gave him a pretty important backstory which coinsides with Kotetsu's power loss.... It'd be stupid to forget about him.... They have two episodes though so I'm sure they can resolve Maveric, Yuri and Power loss in that time....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 06 September, 2011, 06:05:24 pm
Its clear with the ridiculous circumstances going on that Lunatic is gonna turn up at some point to save their asses. He's already helped Tiger before when no-one was on his side so he'll likely do it again.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Gaffit on 11 September, 2011, 12:17:34 am
He's dead. Dead forever and ever.

Until the next episode.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 11 September, 2011, 08:15:59 am
Wait the time of your post.... That's before there were proper subs.... Which means you watched the god awful Hulu stream.... Jesus Christ how horrifying.... If I recall they don't show the parts at the end.... Or the Pepsi Next ad....

But anyway.... I can't help but remember the whole a Hero will die thing.... And the next episode title reminds me more of how someone lives on in memories forever after they're killed then of someone just coming back to life.... Plus they played it pretty serious too.... And I wouldn't put it past Sunrise to do that....

Now that I've put all that doubt out there for you Gaffit have a fun week....

Also if Kotetsu dies then Antonio will finally not feel so useless now he has to raise Kaede.. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThePhoenix). (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth). (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ouroboros).


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 18 September, 2011, 04:34:57 am
So that sold pretty well and people liked it.... Maybe Sunrise will give us a second season.... Or maybe they'll just continue being jerks about this show and waste money on crappy shows like Sacred Seven....

And did you see what they did there with Kotetsu's line after he comes back? Very Godot....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 18 September, 2011, 05:51:09 am
I thought they already announced a second season?


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 18 September, 2011, 06:05:36 am
Nope.... Though it seems very likely....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Marie Rose on 18 September, 2011, 09:09:08 am

Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 18 September, 2011, 03:40:49 pm
They haven't said what that is.... There are three main ideas which are a movie, a spin off or the second season.... But nothing is for sure yet that's why I said no but added that it seems very likely....


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny

I know, I just wanted you to comment on it.


Title: Re: Tiger & Bunny
Post by: Esh on 20 September, 2011, 08:26:35 am
I don't know if you guys have been reading the "This is Sternbild" blog but they had an event where everybody cooked fried rice and sent the photos to the blog called Friend Rice.... But yeah they got alot of pictures from all over and the creators saw it.... This is what the writer Masafumi Nishida wrote about it....

http://munacom.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2011/09/post-3c8a.html

Quote from: Masafumi Nishida
It's been a while since I got teary-eyed

http://thisissternbild.com/friend-rice-event-gallery/

The line about the rice was one that had a lot of thought put into it. Towards Kotetsu it wasn't a plea "please don't die", but a very Barnaby-like attempt to both encourage him and to tell how much he wants him to live.

Barnaby has lived for nothing but revenge and unable to accept people, yet the extent to which Kotetsu's has humanized him is clearly seen in ep24. That line also expresses much gratitude.

All that rice that the fans created kind of makes me feel very rewarded and as a member of the staff I am very grateful.

My deepest thanks to you, and again, thank you.
