I'm impressed! I was scared that they would change the feel of the show.
Yet, the animation looks similar to the original. The characters feel like they are the same characters, even with a bit of character development. They included Ryan from the movies, the old characters, and even new characters, without being overwhelming. The plot went like another episode of the show, action and thoughtfulness behind the characters and all. They didn't forget plot points from the show/movie and reboot, instead they have Lunatic and Kotetsu's daughter and everything.
I'm so glad that it seems, from this first impression, to be a great sequel. :D

I'm a little disappointed they didn't improve on the animation quality. It's been 11 years... I get wanting to stick to the old style, and I'm sure some diehard oldschool fans will love how similar it is, but really..... they could've done something new with it, make it look a bit better at least.

How I missed Tiger & Bunny. After 8 years, we have a good superhero show again.

I was surprised that Golden Ryan is there. Strangely, I dislike him, but at same time like him.

I had my worries that the production would tone down the RL sponsor placement, but thankfully they didn't, but we had a loss....Blue Rose isn't sponsored by Pepsi anymore, sadly.

The robber was lucky that this isn't a very violent anime.

I forgot about Pepsi's sponsorship, yeah that's a shame it's gone. Luckily there's still other sponsors.

Damn, it's been a while since i last watched anything from this series. I seem to vividly remember a few moments relating to Blue Rose's feelings towards Kotatsu-san and I definitely want to see more of that lol.

Looks like there are a few new faces in the superhero industry. Pretty cool introduction for all of them. You can tell a part of it was scripted though but you still got to sell the show at the end of the day. Barnaby and Kotetsu-san showing the immature young ones some fine teamwork and planning strategy in the end there was nice to see.

More of the usual bickering between the two, which was kind of nice to see. It was funny seeing how both of them seem to totally suck at playing that fake giddy happy role in front of the sponsors, it's a tough world to be even though one may be a superhero.

All in all, it was a decent first episode.

On a random side note, it's a real pleasure to keep up with a show when Hiroaki Hirata-san plays these kinds of roles.

It feels unreal watching this, ive been waiting for over a decade now and its pretty much exactly the same feeling I adored so many years ago. Tiger and bunny was pretty much one of the big reasons I got really into anime and it still remains as one of the most fun shows ive ever watched cause of its likable cast and sense of energy. I'm not expecting this to be as good but it feels like more of the same and thats all i really need

The opening chase got several laughs out of me, I just adore this shows laidback tone and how goofy it can all get. Seeing Kotetsu being a goofball and bickering with barnaby again after all those years was so worthwhile.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I am so happy they are back!! Introduction of new system, partners and new characters felt natural.

Their relationship and teamwork is shown easily once again. Love this episode and the new music!!! I am scared of the new villains.. They look like sons of Lunatic lol

no more pepsi sponsor, rip. glad the characters werent butchered but kotetsu and barnaby's relationship felt like it had partially reverted back to the how it was in the first half of s1 (like baranaby calling kotetsu ojisan instead of by his actual name - that threw me off)

looks like this takes place maybe about 1-2 years after the og series? there were some newbies that kotetsu had been showing the ropes in either the og series or the movie (cant remember), but i guess we won't be seeing them again. im actually surprised they included golden ryan

netflix pulling a netflix re: batch episode releases ; cant say im surprised but i am quite fed up with them doing that.

She is not "so fat" or "old", just a "truly woman" character who became a little fat... Idiots.

Freaking FINALLY. After waiting nearly a decade of waiting for a sequel for my favourite anime, I had to wait extra more due to midterm time I had. I was literally near tears when I started this episode and actually shocked to see so many episodes released (I did think it would be a weekly thing).

First off. I love the choice of buddy/partner system. I was wondering if they would add sidekicks to s2, but this is even better since comes off as an inspiration from the original duo, T&B. The imperfection of it is also a good thing, makes it interesting to watch.

The new heroes seem promising but I'm not too trusting of the newbies especially the edge and ego lord duo.
Thankfully our main duo didn't lose their charm, even those they seem back on the bickering. The no talking thing on paper had me spit juice. The relationships between these groups of heroes is what initially latched me hard on the series. I hope the progress will be as good as in s1.
The extra involvement of Yuri is simply a delight for me, since after Kotetsu he's my favourite. I can feel something big planned for him in the future. And what's with his apparent focus on Kotetsu? Hmmm

I think the episode itself, plot and pacing went well. I'm very interested in the new major(?) villains. Are they part of Ouroboros? New organisation? We'll see. I think my ears heard Mamoru, but I'll wait before searching it up.

As for music/art/artstyle. I still need time to decide on OP/ED (bgm was on spot), art was great and artstyle iconic as ever. Atmosphere is still very much like in s1 and I hope it stays like that. Honestly, this is a promising start.

yo. this just felt "good" to watch again. especially the latter half where tiger and bunny weren't talking hahaha

that young duo is like a new version of tiger and bunny. does tiger have his romance thing still goin' on?

also, i'm still not convinced he didn't overthrow his helmet on accident and bunny bailed him out lol

Yo, where is my guy tiger's hat?

this wasn't a "great" episode imo, but like i said, it felt good. 7/10 start. let's keep it going

It's good that we got Tiger & Bunny: The Afterseries where we'll see the Heroes take their good time strolling around the city, doing silly stuff. Nothing would go wrong after the OK ending of last season, right?
