^ Some reason i have a feeling that this will end with all next powers disappearing due to some freak (lunatic) and his evil plot against the world. That would be pretty devastating...

Anyway! I can't wait to see the next episode..

it proboly would end like that, though i dont think that would be devastating, that would lead to all the charecters finaly having normal lives, karina(blue rose) would go back to being a normal high schooler, nathon(fire emblem) would still be incredibly gay, kotetsu could be the dad to his child again, barnaby would continue his parents research on robots, keith(sky high)...i dont know i always feel like hed make a awsome sales person, dragon kid would be able to spend time with her parents again, and who knows about what bison do we would probolly know once he gets his episode

thatd be a happy ending not a devastating, devastating would be like wolfs rain ending or tokyo magnitude's those are devastating endings

Good point, now that you mention it, the theory seems to be a lot more likely the way that T&B ends.But still, i can't imagine that the heroes would be able to go back to normal lives after losing something as big as super powers as by now it's sort of something they use on instinct.

Yeah man like I can't believe this show would have it end like that ): I don't want sky High to be sad he is 100% better when he is happy they should of made him married with kids since he looks older then Tiger.

Ehm, no. Just no.
That Futurama episode was fucking sad, but this shit in T&B was just stupid. Sky High is retarded, how can you not see that she was a robot?!

Don't be mean Tiger and bunny didn't know she was a robot until her skin started melting. I knew she was a robot when she first responded but, to people in that show she looks normal and her actions could be seen as shy/timid to them. Seeing Sky high waiting at the end for her WAS SOME SAD SHIT especially because he was the one who killed her ):

if the serise doesn end with everyone loosing their next powers then mabey barnaby would make a copy of that robot for sky who knows......what a man can dream that a awsome charecter gets some sort of happy end

also why hasnt anyone discussed next ep, people arent discussing kotetsu losing his powers as much as i thought he would, i knew this was gonna happen but still poor kotetsu, i knew it was gonna screw him somehow,

this also does explaint he whole "ARE YOU TELLING ME TO SOTP BEING A HERO" lne froom the mid season preview

I found it most excellent at how Sky High did a marvelous job of getting that robot as follows,

that was great. The wind element is shown nicely and the slice is clear through.

TBH I am much more primed for next episode as it features the following,

L-U-N-A-T-I-C! Yeah that guy will fest it up! Except the OP does show that Tiger and Bunny will double kick him.

I was kind of hoping the girl was Origami in disguise to cheer him up >.>" Though the robot noise totally ruined my pathetic fangirlish theory...
Yeah but at least there was some saucy Barnaby service.

I was much more in heavens with the whole Rose episode last episode.

I also miss that one episode that was Dragon Kid EPIC! Oh well, Dragon Kid for me is #1.

Wow and wow! Lots of stuff you give out and some I have some inquiries/comments about them.
AstuteOtaku said:
Some stuff about the characters' houses:
Karina lives with her parents in a detached house, her room is situated at the corner of the house, so it's very sunny.
Well that is very interesting could it be a reason why she may be going to sleep sometimes early?
AstuteOtaku said:
Kotetsu's mother's home is located in a rural town. It's garden has a vegetable plot and a Japanese-style house. Kaede is currently using her father's old room.
OK very nice to know that Tiger's mother is into gardening and Kaede using Kotetsu's old room is kind of ironic but hilarious. I wonder how she feels about it? The addressing question is why Kotetsu is not living with Kaede and his mother?
AstuteOtaku said:
Barnaby can jump really high, but he can't slow down his fall (glide?).
Barnaby was taken in by Maverick at the age of four, after his parents' murder.
Who is Maverick again and ROFL @ can't slow down his fall but can jump high. That is rather hilarious.
AstuteOtaku said:
Lunatic's potential is not to be underestimated. The day when his true character and his goal will be revealed is not far off.
YES! I want to know that so bad! I like Lunatic. He is cool despite being strange so far.
AstuteOtaku said:
Barnaby is quickly nearing Legend's record.
Wonder if that will have any impact in the story.
AstuteOtaku said:
The sponsors may change if T&B is broadcast on the foreign TV in the future.
Those tidbits about Kotetsu and Barnaby that appear in the episode previews are thought out by Nishida (the scriptwriter).
Well certainly USA will put lots more other sponsors and they should license this for sure. It will bring lots of companies advertisement through this anime. Especially if they license on Tele-Toon.
AstuteOtaku said:
Kotetsu's relationship with his family is going to be addressed in the second cour.
Well that's nice to know. I definitely want the answer of why he is not with his daughter and mother. I am highly assuming a tragedy happened in the past other than the one where Kaede got rescued by Bunny.
AstuteOtaku said:
Barnaby is going to be hit pretty hard by what's coming.
I wonder why considering his hardest already past with Jake and his family dilemma.
AstuteOtaku said:
So far it was Kotetsu who was actively trying to get close to Barnaby (literally “snuggling to him), but later there will be a difference in the direction they are looking at.
I wonder what event will that be that shall change that. Certainly that will be interesting to see as a turn of events.
AstuteOtaku said:
There will be an unexpected development concerning Lunatic. Expect an increasing number of episodes that will bring you to tears.
Oh yes! Bring in the drama! Bring in the emotions! I want to see that!
AstuteOtaku said:
Kotetsu's age is closest to Go Inoue's (Sky High's voice actor, age 33).
I though he was in his 30s but he does look like early 20s.
AstuteOtaku said:
Rock Bison has fear of heights.
ROFL! Bad vice to have in a Heroes job.
AstuteOtaku said:
Fire Emblem manages weird shops as a hobby.
Not surprised he is weird himself.

BTW he is the one I like the least of all.
AstuteOtaku said:
Sky High is conscious of his health and eats the same food all year round.
Well eating the same food because its healthy sounds boring to me.

Well first half I was like ... it was funny but I didn't really like that girl D; Totally knew she was a robot though, the instant she spoke. At first I thought the researcher guy was related to Bunny somehow (come on, the whole robot thing and the flippy hair?) but close enough. Fight scene was really cool. Poor Sky High, though, but I'm kind of glad lol :S

I do believe he's not very popular in Japan as well, he has a lot of redeeming qualities, but I have never "clicked" with him. I do love how he's trying to help out Karina with her love troubles... wonder if he's going to start working on Kotetsu's side of things? I sure would not be surprised.

T&B gets an original manga story in Weekly Joung Jump (Liar Game, Zetman, Gantz).
Titled "Strenght in Unity", it will be written by Nishida and illustrated by Masakazu Katsura (T&B's character designer, Zetman's autor).
Comes out on August 4.

Most likely though it is a one shot

Thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU for sharing this information(!!) Zetman is one of my favorite manga which naturally makes Katsura one of my favorite authors... One shot or not, I'm looking forward to the manga eagerly.

As for the anime, more drama is always delicious. Also wanting to know more about Kotetsu's family.

yah im glad they made a older charecter which is weird that people at such young ages relate to the guy, mabey its just kotetsu's overall awsomness, like seirously hes the bets protagonist in a anime for a while, well at least for aciton, tomoya is hard to top for best protagonist

YES!!! I knew Kotetsu wasn't that Old, me and Astute Otaku has been guessing late 20's or older 30's forever and it feels good to know we were spot on. Makes sense too, him doing it for 10 years makes puts him at 23 when starting the Hero business, makes sense to me....

Hopefully, this will chill out some of the folks who go EWW when bringing up the Blue Rose crush. The fact that she's probably 17 after the 10 month gap, and he's barely pushing into 30 means this relationship isn't impossible. All he has to do is wait a year.....18-20 year olds dating 30 year olds is VERY common folks....

Not sure, a relationship might be iffy, but I can see a kiss, especially with this stuff going on with Kotetsu right now. Remember this IS anime, Sunrise at that. Look at Koi Kaze. He was 30, she was 15. And they were brother and sister, so our situation isn't as bad as it could be.

here you go just read this, it descrbes the situation exactly only kotetsu is much older and actually read it dont read just the first 5 sentances

http://teenadvice.about.com/od/teenlifefaqsandqas/a/agedifferences1.htm

regardless of where it is this age differance is not accepted and yes people are indeed arrested for this kind of thing, a 39 year old witha 16 year old, if they were tod oa nything sexual like a normal couple would koetetsu would be a statutory rapist

and even then when you come down to it, kotetsu has absolutly no interest in blue rose or romantic ordeals in general,

Japan’s penal code does not apply statutory rape to a person over 13.

What I'm saying is that its ok cause this is anime, not real life. Most sexual objects in anime and manga are almost ALWAYS the generic high school girl. Hell, most Hentai shows girls under 17. I'm saying that because we don't live in japan, we are not familiar with their customs, that's why something that might seem gross to americans is considered a fetish in japan. Same with the link you showed me, that's american opinions, so of course we say it wrong, cause it is by american standards.

But in anime, I see no problem with age difference in relationships, cause its fiction. All in all, the anime character Karina aka Blue Rose being 16 is all numbers, and does not really reflect in her appearance and personality. They made her wear that VERY revealing outfit for a reason...why? Because of sex appeal. If the animators feel that she is old enough to be represented in a sexual and mature manner, then I'll take it as that.

Real life 39 year old and real life 16 year old? Burn the bastard with Fire.

Anime 39 year old who barely looks 26, and a anime 16 year old who looks 21, I have no problem with this. Remember logic and Anime NEVER goes hand in hand.

I approve of this episode's use of the penis imagery with the fountain...


Oh Sky High! He's so awesomely awkward. It was painfully obvious that that R. Dorothy look-alike was a robo, but not to him. It kinda reminded me of episode 19 of RahXephon, except Ayato eventually figured out what he did (damn that was depressing).

It's painfully obvious that Tiger is losing his powers... and fast. I don't wanna believe it. I really don't.

I really like how Bunny is happier now, it makes it a lot less irritating when he outshines Tiger. Both characters have really grown on me throughout the series, definitely a solid show.

I knew the girl was an android from the first moment. Not only because of her mannerisms, but also because of her resemblance to R. Dorothy Wayneright from The Big O. Her creator reminded me of Dr. Gero from Dragon Ball Z. I feel really bad for Sky High (but the part where he destroyed the android was awesome). In any case, things are really starting to get interesting.
