Tiger & Bunny is a show about where superheroes' budgets come from, as well as theme of what is justice.

The premise of the story is that superhuman beings called NEXT are ostracised and feared by normal human populace. With that history in mind they have been turned into justice enforcing TV casts in their own show.

The so called heroes are sponsored by may different companies, advertising while getting paid for being a walking billboard, just like in our current world of advertisement revenue.

Tiger and Bunny both act as the opposite end of the spectrum; Tiger focuses on simply saving and helping people regardless of rules and damages, while Bunny tries to follow all the guidelines while doing his hero duty.

Lunatic is the anti-hero and also antithesis of duo Tiger and Bunny, punishing villains with death penalty. These three represent different aspect of what justice should be: protection of civilians, politically correction, capital punishment; which ultimately questions oneself if they are truly doing the right thing.

The show ends with each having come to their own conclusion of justice and neither of any opposite extreme is simply the best, as there are many varieties of villains that requires mix of the three ideals.

Colours and style both influenced by western comic coupled with Japanese animation. The character design, setting, visuals all blend well together to produce authentic western experience.

Animation was consistent throughout with well above average quality, and although 3D superhero suit seemed a little out of place at times; it was still well blended in for minimal annoyance.

As a disclosure I am biased as ads when it comes to superhero content.
Should you recommend Tiger & Bunny? Eh, if you enjoy watching info-mercials at 3am
