A world in which superheroes are our daily routine and the idea of them has somewhat been "commercialized": this is the first thing that triggers Tiger & Bunny in your memory while watching Boku no Hero Academia. No worries, they are definitely NOT the same thing but still share some mentionable points in common that might lead you to decide to watch them: - The thrilling and captivating concept of super powers will always create heroes and villains but it's always interesting to see how this will be played out, what ideas will be poured into it and what circumstances and consequences will come from it;  read more

A modernised and commercialised / 'business' approach to the concept of superheroes existing in our world. Heroes are ranked based on points awarded AND subtracted for their actions in the line of duty. Public relations - mainly in terms of popularity - is also a factor. Every self-respecting hero needs a fan club, after all! In One Punch Man it is less important since it is more of a cartoonishly over the top series with hero rankings as window dressing, where as in Tiger & Bunny the entire plot is built around 'idol culture' televised heroics. But they are the only two series I have come  read more

Realistic superhero series; at least as far as focusing on the 'human' aspect goes. Idealistic heroism is contrasted with everyday life. Or, put another way, it's down-to-earth, as opposed to series like One Punch Man that indulge in their flashy over the topness. Tiger & Bunny is consistent and is what it says on the tin, where as Flamenco starts out purely as a parody before jumping the shark in dramatically low budget fashion. Ye be warned!

The heroes in both series are similar in design and "creation to protect the public."

Everyone has monsters within them to deal with, and the main characters of these two series aren't any different. And while it is true that in Tiger & Bunny that the two series don't have the heroes fighting monsters, they're still fighting their own ilk while having to puzzle out a secret, just as the characters from Zetman have to.

Dai-Guard and Tiger&Bunny are shows about saving the world and doing the right thing, all while dealing with corporate red tape. The two series have a similar focus on the down-to-earth lives of the characters and share a similar sense of humor in regards to the absurdity of super robots/super heroes being introduced into a modern capitalist society.

VERY different people work together. A themes of partnership, friendship and mutual assistance were shown very well.

Both are charming throwbacks to classic superhero Saturday morning cartoons. While Tiger&Bunny uses clever satires with the theme of superheroes, Heroman is more basic with the whole premise.

Both feature main characters who are parents that would do anything for their children and have super-powered alter ego's. Both have to with conspiracy's and the main characters working for major corporations.

Did A.D. Police influence Tiger & Bunny? Possibly, though truth be told A.D. Police influenced many sci-fi apocalyptic series which have come out of Japan. Tiger & Bunny takes the old, and places an interesting twist, but A.D. Police allows viewers to see where the genre in regards to Anime has been.

This has nothing to do with mechs. But the same concept of being a Hero is here. Both series uses the main characters as a way of entertainment. The "sponsors" brand them for publicity purposes while they face their adversary.  
report Recommended by AnimeFan500
They have similar hero themes and colorful characters that are unique and fun to watch. They each have one partner that is seeking revenge while the other seeks to be a hero. I appreciated that the show is based on its own world and has an international feel vs being solely based in Japan. While Tiger and Bunny are based in a world full of heroes, Double Decker focuses on a detective that has a desire to be a hero. Double Decker is a mild version of Tiger and Bunny, if you enjoyed Tiger and Bunny this has a similar feel to it.

The hero business is a power struggle in both of these Anime. Also, Iron Man comes from a world of people with special powers who have the negative public eye upon them.

As the other person said, the male leads are pretty similar. Tiger and Mutta have the same voice actor and generally the same personality. They're the underdog. Bunny and Hibito have similar sounding voices and are a bit different in personality but similar in terms of being the superior one in the main relationship.

Both series have a similar Background and a similar style: They take place in a colorful fantasy version of New York, in which retro and futuristic elements are mixed. Furthermore, both titles feature superpowered people (and other beings), and contain quite some action and demolition.

Both shows are about a partnership between the main characters. Also, both are action anime, although Soul Eater is about fighting Kishin and Tiger & Bunny is about superheroes.

Both series have the same director with amazing art work and character design. Both Male main characters, despite being in the same line of work hate each other but end up working together and as time pass they begin to have respect for one another. The series have Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, and super power genre elements.

Two male protagonists with opposing personalities work together to vanquish evil. Also focuses on themes of friendship and contains (arguable) BL subtext.

Similarities: Both were set in some dystopian world were Heros with superpowers were treated like celebrities. Dissimilarities: One anime involves a duo who cherish the lime light, while in the other anime, the female Hero is simply too timid to be in the lime light.

This may be a bit of a stretch, but ‘Tiger & Bunny’ and ‘Kill la Kill’ portray core themes surrounding cooperation through polarizing friendships (i.e. Kotetsu and Barnaby, Ryuko with Mako and Senketsu), and previous rivals becoming allies following the need to fight against a greater evil. Barnaby and Ryuko are both characters initially driven by vengeance towards the loss of their family. The exposed outfits of the female characters, like Blue Rose, Ryuko, and Satsuki, are commented on for humour while being simultaneously deconstructed when discussing ideas of fanservice, female strength, and nudity.

Watching Fuuto Tantei this season has reminded me so much of Tiger & Bunny. For one, the MCs for both are very similar; There are some obvious parallels between Kotetsu & Shoutarou and Phillip & Barnaby. The MCs in both anime are a team, and the costumes are similar - both have that Mecha/Sci-Fi/Superhero type feel to them. Overall though, I think the characters in each anime are very similar, even the side ones.

partners fighting crime mcs, sort of. both being original anime (until Tiger and bunny received a manga adaptation) set in a far off futuristic time, the cast for both are shown controlling mecha bodysuits similar to iron man. both contain android-like people in their storylines at some point and the mech designs in both of these series have similarities, along with the action scenes. if you love one you'll find something to like in the other

Both protagonists of this shows are old veterans in their job, but due to some drastic changes they have to change their job and they don`t like that much the new job they have, also both protagonists are clumsy, sometimes dumb and sometimes reflexive and they are the heart of the series, both shows are action and comedy heavy

Both shows feature a "buddy cop" duo as their main characters, with a serious, dutyful guy and an extrovert, silly guy. The backstories and the chemistry between them is very similar too. Also, they are each part of a small, controversial group subordinate to the government. For diffrences, in Tiger & Bunny the "heroes" are celebrities, while the "Marginal Service" is a secret organisation. Also, the Marginal Service features normal humans fighting supernatural creatures while Tiger & Bunny has only human characters with super powers.

91 Days and Tiger and Bunny are both about the main characters getting revenge on the murderer of their parents. There are certain organizations that are both bad and good that they both join to achieve their goal. While Tiger and Bunny has super powers and is set more in the future, both anime have action.

Both have strong American superhero influences. Big O is full of Batman allusions, the main character being a rich man who dresses in black and uses gadets to poke around and solve mysteries (and fight mecha) and the art style is reminiscent of the art-deco type animation of the old batman cartoons. Tiger & Bunny is a bit closer to X-men with characters who are NEXT with powers are considered 'the next stage in evolution' by some and people to be feared by others, with some NEXT turning to crime and others turning to heroism. They both also take place in urban environments highly similar  read more

So, do you like the concepts that Marvel layed down in the univerce they created? Well, Tiger & Bunny happens to be quite inspired by old school superheros with their NEXT. There are allusions that things have changed since the times of the old school superheros. So, if you enjoyed one, you may enjoy the other.

While one of these is an older classic, both of these deal with the psycological effect of having great powers and how society may or may not treat the idividual. 
report Recommended by Yemi_Hikari
There is a concept that those who are born with special powers are cursed to the life of being used by those who seek that power to use to further their own goals and these two series feature this. With Gauken Alice, the students are trained to be of future use to society, while in Tiger & Bunny, the heros are used for mer intertainment. While they are treated for the most part as if they are human, in other ways they are treated like they are nothing.

The main protagonists of both Viewtiful Joe / Tiger & Bunny are both lazy & not very bright characters, similar to Michaelangelo from TMNT. Both shows involve a world filled with heroes and have some comedy mixed in between the different parts of the story. Both shows are great, you'll be immersed in the story and art!

Both explore corruption and greed in a superhero-driven society. The two series show how, despite their god-like powers, superheroes are not gods themselves as they are driven by human motivations and desires that at times cause them to falter.

Both are Science Fiction stories taking place in futuristic cities, with border-line shounen-ai bromances between the two male main characters. No.6 is shorter (11 eps) and much darker with younger protagonists, while Tiger&Bunny is lighter and has a two-part plot (20+ eps). In both the spotlight is on the two male leads, one of who's goal is to get their revenge, and how the two grow closer and come to understand and value each other.

What do these two series have in common you ask? Well, great animation, great writing, great characters, great action... And a whole truck load of homosexual subtext that might as well be text.

Both of these series are awesome, with incredible traits that make them quality anime regardless of whether you like practically-BL, so you can pretend the male main characters aren't in love if it makes you feel better, just watch them.

From the first sight these two anime don't have a lot in common, but the feeling that you get, while you watch them, is pretty much the same - you are totally emotionally involved in the action and become absorbed in the plot. Both anime have very strong colorful set of the main characters, with the relationship of rivalry between them. But despite of this rivalry between each other all of them are obsessed with the idea that at the same time unites them - either basketball or protecting the city. There are also some developing “electric” relationships between 2 main characters, who have strong views,  read more
