Preliminary (4/13 eps)
Double Decker! Doug & That Other Guy is an anime series taking place inside the world of Tiger & Bunny, a franchise which I personally highly enjoyed and which I thought Sunrise would be ruining like seems to be their favorite hobby these days. Thankfully that wasn't the case as this time around the story centers around new detective side of the universe and this appears to be almost as comedic as Tiger and Bunny.

The story of this thing is a generic cops vs. crime. The good part is that it's not taken very seriously. The focus is on banter between the main characters, goofy moments and scenes were nothing seems to really work out and that's precisely why they work out eventually. The single best part is how comedic these appear and how well timed the comedy is. There is always a start gag/situation that itself is already funny, followed by the comedy scene being extended and pushed onward with small details that are both unexpected and surprisingly well-planned. It's silly and awesome at the same time, yet never fully comedic, rather just balanced real well with the action/cop side of the story.

The characters follow some sort of confrontation where Doug is ideal cop Jesus and The Other Guy AKA the real mc kinda just is there, but all will play well for him anyway. To understand what type of a show this really is, even the mc's past story is hilarious because he wants to be a hero but always ends up falling asleep when it would be his time to shine, and the times when he can finally shine only work because something equally stupidly awesome is happening to some other character. Like this one time Dough got stuck inside a pipe similar you see in Super Mario or some shit. How this ain't making everyone lol is beyond me.

The female cast is ridiculously hot and follow the Tiger and Bunny design. Same with the overall art which looks amazing. Simple, yet effective, colors really standing out. So far I am impressed. I never thought this series could be so highly entertaining and fun to watch. Highly recommend this show from current season, nice action show. You can also watch this without seeing Tiger & Bunny tho I would recommend that one more than this. I actually didn't plan to review this preliminary, but seeing how this is getting hate for whatever silly reason and how there is no reviews yet, I had to say that this thing is totally cool, just check out the first episode if that ain't convincing you then stop there.
