Am I the only one that doesn't like this guy? I don't know why.
Tiger & Bunny 2
I really enjoy Ryan. He was great in the move and he's great in this.
I wish he was still a bit of an asshole like in the movie. I guess getting ostracized by the heroes in the other city took him down a notch
Something feels off about him.
He's a bit whiny but he's not offensive or anything. Showed us a side of Bunny's life outside of his relationship with Tiger too. I'd wait to see what he does in the second half of the season before judging if he's good or bad.
on ep 9. he's qt
Molly is best girl btw.
>Keith has John and JoJohn
>Ryan has Molly
>Barnaby talks to fucking plants
anons...
This is what I mean. Maybe I'm just overthinking it but I don't want some bullshit to happen to Barnaby again while he's trying to get over his trust issues. :(
Yeah I mean hopefully I'm wrong. He just seems a little iffy.
Yea Forums I won't allow you to have another Ginger Hate thread. Some of my best friends are gingers! They're people too!
I don't know if it's overthinking. Something about his expressions are even weird. Not sure if he'll be a villain, but he's different.
What made Barnaby get the plants?
I expected Netflix to screw the season up.
The villains were a bit too obnoxious but other than that no real complaints
I wonder if he names them.
He's probably too messed up from the drugs he's been testing on himself and will die tragically by transforming into a disgusting mutant in agony.
was fully prepared to see this guy go yandere on bunny when he was first introduced. but ya hes bad news, i can feel it. poor bunny cant have nice things for long.
Realistically speaking the Chad Twins should've beaten all of the heroes. Im sure they could've written it this way too for maximum drama so that the heroes have to deal with public scrutiny. Its not like anyone was killed either
Are we finally getting what mtivates Ouroboros members this season? Seems like whatever the donor lady was after was not at all what Maverick was trying to do with Hero TV despite being Ouroboros adjacent, wo what gives?
I'm pretty sure it's just part of his "I'm trying to find myself" story arc.
Finally some safe filesizes. Still, if I'm going to batch watch it, might as well wait for second half to drop before watching.
The first time we saw him was in a post-credit scene and he said something about taking revenge against Barnaby. But then he looked pretty okay during the episodes. Since he wants to get ordinary humans to be like NEXT I think that something happened when they were kids that made him jealous about Barnaby because he had NEXT powers
Remember Ouroboros existed before Hero TV. Maverick was just a guy that made a deal with them. If I had to guess they just like causing chaos and investing money according to where the wind blows
That book, or at least that author that was constantly on display is definitely going to be a plot point in part 2.
Yeah, I think that's clear foreshadowing. It may have to do with mind control
yeah i really dislike how barnaby's character just sort of died. so far this season feels milquetoast, it's like those kid's cartoons where every episode is another lukewarm moral lesson like "share your toys" or "hitting is wrong." it's just unambitious and bland.
11 years only to fucking disappoint me.
an user in the previous thread mentioned the author, Little Aurora, and LL Audun seemed suspiciously named. I really like that theory
I think it's because they wanted to give moments to the other heroes which is why the first episodes were so... episodic. But I think that we'll get more to point in the second half and it's going to be more serious. And with Barnaby's connection with Ouroboros he has to play an important part there
Bunny is a weird ojiisan now, embracing new hobbies outside of being after vengeance/putting on an idol act/being Maverick’s puppet who had probably been mindwiped multiple times for most of his life. Baby steps.
He also has a tiger tail plant, which is cute.
>no Kotetsu I can’t go out with you I’m meeting a friend
>eats dinner with his tiger tail succulent
At this point, just get a Wildo Taiga body pillow.
i really don't buy that excuse. it's simple bad, lazy writing. it feels like theyr'e trying really really hard not to offend anyone too and that makes for some crappy, overly safe, sterile writing. i'm not saying it needs to be constant angst and drama, but say you can look at magi. where if 2 characters had a conflict, the author could make both motivations really convincing even when they're completely opposed. this feels really gradeschool tier and neutered.
I feel the same, I've already ranted about it in the previous thread but it feels to me like Nishida doesn't have anything new to write in regards to T&B. He broke their partnership in Rising while not giving Barnaby any new development, now he broke all the semi-official other combos to create new ones and is still actively avoiding looking inside Barnaby as a character. He just doesn't want to go back to the main duo and develop it in interesting ways or he's just out of his depth and doesn't know how to. T&B don't NEED to talk in excrutiating detail about their feelings the way other Heroes have been doing this season, but a little something would go a long way. Just give Bunny an arc ffs.
Maybe a Mouth of Madness style NEXT quirk that drives everybody who reads it nuts? I want it to be satisfying so bad.
>it's like those kid's cartoons where every episode is another lukewarm moral lesson like "share your toys" or "hitting is wrong."
You're not wrong but I actually dont mind the "Saturday Morning Cartoon" feeling. Its comfy
Blue Rose and Ryan have way better chemistry than her and Tiger. Plus he's not old enough to be her dad.
>it turns out Maverick's memory erasing was child's play compared to Little Aurora's ability
General theory roundup
>Little Aurora is L.L. Audun
>Ryan will job again fighting Gregory Sunshine
>Tiger will be injected with the drug for Thousand Power Tiga
Ryan was calling Barnaby "junior" in the movie so I always thought he was in his 30's
Will getting mindfucked again turbotrigger Bunny or would he have an innate resistance and this time be the only one who isn’t controlled? Not sure what can top Kotetsu breaking the mind control with pet names, though.
Because Barnaby's name is Barnaby Brooks Jr.
That's because his name is Barnaby Brooks Junior.
It's actually because Ryan has been a hero for longer and considers Barnaby his kouhai.
>>Ryan will job again fighting Gregory Sunshine
From Chad to Jobber, just like that? Why are they treating him like this??
He may job at first but then he'll recover and have his glorious moment, with Blue Rose at his side
>bunny and taiga’s hero colours mixed create the turbo NEXT serum
Didn't he just say he wasn't going to beat Barnaby?
gay
just an aside but it also bothers me that most of the characters are not involved in dating. the only actual committed romance was kotetsu's marriage and his wife was just a background character, bland generally supportive wife with no personality. i mean, it's like they either cant or are afraid to write functional romantic relationships, which is expected for other anime but t&b is more real-world adult situations. they shouldn't all be so sexless.
i guess it's a similar anime to aggretsuko where it's more grounded and realistic in themes (work, etc, instead of typical anime for teenage audiences that's just chuunishit and wish fulfillment.)
Wait, a new season of Tiger and Bunny started?
I just finished rewatching the old one not long ago, how is it?
Not every show needs romance shoehorned in.
Okay I went to check it out again because I didn't remember exactly. He says he's going to beat him, and I still think it's because Barnaby's a NEXT and he has some kind of grudge
Oh yeah. I can't believe I forgot about that already. Though it might just be some season 3 blueball cliffhanger. Like they did last time with Ouroboros
Pretty decent, is still just half a season (second cour will be release next)
Oh my bubble nen...
Pretty sure its more of he wants to surpass him and be more famous.
With their lifestyles it's difficult to maintain a romantic relationship. Just look at what happened to Kotetsu, he lost his wife and couldn't be there for her and he can't even raise up his daughter. Maybe they are afraid of being in such situations and prefer to just focus on their jobs
Nice, guess I'll start watching it right away.
Hopefully the OPs and EDs are as good as before.
Its been 10 years but didnt Blue Rose want to fuck Kotetsu?
Feels like they dropped that in S2 just because of fujo pandering
He said with his drug that he would become just like Barnaby and already considers them rivals. He's a weirdo.
It was fine.
Feels like a lot of setup with no real payoff yet since its split cour.
Considering Netflix was attached I was ready for typical western SJW nonsense and REAL WORLD ISSUES.
But its just Tiger and Bunny
She just has a cute crush on him, and in her episode is evident that those feelings have not entirely disappeared because she was a little flustered around him. But it seems like she's maturing and will probably forget about that as time goes on
I understand most not bothering with actual relationships but im surprised there's no frivolous work hookups. The only person interested is Fire Emblem and no one there is gay so he's out of luck
>Feels like they dropped that in S2 just because of fujo pandering
She grew up, user. Most people who have a teenage crush don't keep it into adulthood, especially when it's on a much older person. It would be boring to make that an integral and ongoing part of her character.
not romance as a focus, but a romantic partnership is pretty fundamental to a healthy well rounded adult, and the sexlessness at this point detracts from the realisticness of the characters.
that was just a crush
>Hopefully the OPs and EDs are as good as before.
theyre both terrible
the ED is especially out of place and ear raping, but the OP is bland and forgetable.
S1 OP1 > S2 OP1 > S1 OP2
Yea crushed by the WILD TIGER
>romantic partnership is pretty fundamental to a healthy well rounded adult
Fuck off breeder.
