Tiger and Bunny, Spring Season Recommendation

v

Tiger and Bunny is a show about modern superheroes!

Imagine a world where superheroes get points for taking down criminals and all points go to publicity and acclaim for sponsors like Pepsi and Softbank? That's the world of Tiger and Bunny. 

Kotetsu Kaburagi

The main character Kotetsu Kaburagi is a middle aged superhero who recently gets down on his luck and can't get points. On the verge of being replaced and fired, he's rehired to work as a foil or comedic effect for his younger partner Barnaby. Kotetsu is a good guy though and he takes being a hero seriously as he does it to save people. So there's the can't keep a good man down effect always going down in Bunny and Tiger and I like it.

Younger, good looking Barnaby

Superheroes get their powers from mutations and they are called NEXT. Right now the anime hasn't fully explained NEXT. But people with powers are discriminated against and it seems like the only good thing that can come of it is that they have the potential to be a Hero for a large business company.

I recommend this anime for everyone who loves an underdog story. You'll love Kotetsu's blind faith in people and if you don't, you'll like the awesome superhero action! Or you'll like his more popular partner Barnaby. 

Stay tuned for more Spring Season recs, this season is better than the last!
