Masakazu Katsura’s artbook + figure set release date changed

The release date of the limited edition of character designer Masakazu Katsura‘s artbook with the original coloring version of Wild Tiger S.H. Figuarts has been changed. The new date appeared in a Rakuten store last week, but I wanted to confirm it from another source. The new release date is February 10, 2012.

The regular edition isn’t available anywhere for preorder yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll come out at the same time with the limited edition or if the release date will be different.

Other book news

  • The first official comic anthology from DNA Comics is coming out tomorrow, August 25th.
  • Another source book, “Official Guide Book Hero Gossips” from Kadokawa Shoten, is coming out in late September. It will cover the entire series and also features a new “tribute story”. Cheapest price I’ve found so far is at CDJapan, but it’s also listed in most other online stores selling Tiger & Bunny merchandise.

Episode 21 or light at the end of the tunnel

Whaddaya know, this week wasn’t as much suffering as expected. No complaints, and some sweet hero action for a change! (And animation-wise this episode looked really good, too!)

21. Heaven helps those who help themselves.
