IT. IT IS REALLY GOOD? I don't really know how to say things about Tiger & Bunny in ways that don't sound dumb though. It's corporate-sponsored superheroes and it's obviously really aware of a lot of tropes. But not... in an obnoxious way? Like it's both a lot less cynical and a lot less fanservicey than I was expecting going in. And I really love the characters a lot! They are super real and believable and I love them. ;; Even if they are all kind of dumb because really, you don't make being a superhero your career choice unless you are kind of dumb.
BUT LIKE. I love Kotetsu a lot obviously! Barnaby is also. . . amazing... he's a really terrible failure at being a functional human being for the first half, he just flips his hair at people prettily because he's the super popular new hero. And is kind of a jerk because he doesn't need friends he only needs VENGEANCE!! HIS PARENTS ARE DEAD!! And I also really love Karina/Blue Rose, despite her super fanservice superhero outfit, because she's obvious a real person who is really dedicated and kind of a failure at feelings. SHE'S REALLY CUTE. Really all of the heroes are great and I would watch them hanging out in the hero gym in their sweatpants forever because it would be adorable.
And in the end the show is all about friendship and teamwork and optimism!! And it's just... very pretty and very well done in general.
...I think part of the reason that having both Erika and Kotetsu as new characters at once is working is that I like T&B/Kotetsu for completely different reasons than I like Umineko/Erika. :'D
OH RIGHT I FORGOT A QUESTION uh. Tell me a canon I should get into.
