It looks like they saved what budget they could for this final stretch (or maybe the studio gave them some extra funding?) because this week’s episode looked really good.

Meet the Sponsors
An advertisement in a newspaper in November 2010, seeking sponsors for the heroes.
I was at a loss over what to spend today’s time killing post on, but then I got a suggestion from the guys on #sternbild chat to talk about the companies sponsoring the heroes. For placement of the advertisements on the hero suits, please refer to the official site.
Sales numbers for official anime guide books
Tiger & Bunny may not be able to beat Madoka Magica in numbers of sold Blu-rays (which may be due to print amounts), but it’s a clear winner in number of sold official anime guide books.
These numbers include only the Official Hero Book, I didn’t find information on how well Hero TV Fan vol. 1 has been selling.
- Tiger & Bunny Official Hero Book ………………….. (980 JPY) …. 26,212 copies
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guide Book … (2,000 JPY) ….. 18,827 copies
- Bakemonogatari Anime Complete Guide Book …… (3,150 JPY) ….. 15,096 copies

More Official Books
2nd volumes of Official Hero Book and Hero TV fan that cover episodes 14-25 are coming out in late October. There are also two complete series guide books coming out in late September, Hero TV Gossips from Kadokawa Shoten and Tiger & Bunny Roman Album from Tokuma Shoten. They’re available for preorder for example at CDJapan.
(I’m not quite sure why they’re making so many guide books but… I’m still going to buy them all, despite overlapping content.)
