I actually finished watching Tiger & Bunny quite some time ago. I had no intention to watch it as the character designs did not appeal to me at all. But since there's so much hype around it, I decided to watch for myself if it's really worth the hype. I watched it with very high expectations (due to the hype), so I must say Tiger & Bunny didn't exactly live up to it but overall, I do think it's a pretty good series with an interesting plot. Story: (9/10) – Very Good Sternbild City is home to people called "Next," who use their special abilities to protect the people as superheroes. These heroes solve cases and save lives so that they can wear sponsor logos or acquire "hero points." Their activities are documented on the popular program "Hero TV," which picks the "King of Heroes" in a yearly ranking. The veteran hero Wild Tiger has always preferred to work alone, but now he's been assigned the rookie Barnaby Brooks Jr., who has a different perspective on being a superhero. I'm not fascinated with the whole "commercial" hero concept. When I was a kid, I wasn't a marvel superheroes' fan either. Thank goodness, Tiger & Bunny is much more than a series about heroes. The whole plot surrounding the mysterious criminal syndicate Ouroboros is very well thought out and executed. I look forward to finding out more about it in the upcoming movie. The good news is that the movie will be shown in my country, Singapore! ^^ (source: hero radio) Characters: (9/10) – Very Good Tiger & Bunny has an interesting cast of characters. I like the fact that even though the main characters are supposed to be heroes, they are actually very human and they also face human problems like you and me. Favorite character: Tiger - what a manly guy and a good father he is! I don't like his beard though. Art/Animation: (8/10) – Good  The "americanized" art style is not my cup of tea but the animation is very good. Music: (9/10) – Very Good Great choice of Opening and Ending themes. Enjoyment: (8/10) – Good There are some very good moments but some are just average. I especially enjoyed the last few episodes of the series. Overall: (8/10) – Good Tiger & Bunny has a good mix of humor, action and drama. Even though I am not as excited as most of the other fans, I do understand why the others get so into Tiger & Bunny. It's an interesting series and it's well worth the time to watch!
