Comic anthology announced (updated July 14th)

Monthly Comic ZERO-SUM magazine announced today on their Twitter that there will be a Tiger & Bunny manga anthology. The manga anthology will have cover art drawn by Touya Mikanagi whose manga Karneval is currently being serialized in Comic ZERO-SUM. The expected street date for the anthology is August 25th.

It will be published by Ichijinsha which is also publishing the Tiger & Bunny Official Hero Book set to be released on July 25th. (Ichijinsha is also the publisher of Monthly Comic ZERO-SUM magazine.)

Update: I checked Ichijinsha’s main site and ZERO-SUM site, but I couldn’t find any further information on the anthology yet. I’m hoping the artist list will be announced soon so we’ll know what to expect.

Update 2: The anthology is now listed at least at CDJapan and Amazon Japan and available for preorder.

Episode 14 or “Who are you and what have you done to our Barnaby?”

Tiger & Bunny returns to being a fun show with a bang. This episode didn’t have as clear a focus as the previous ones, but it’s probably because this was really just a set up for the rest of the story. At least, that was the feeling we got, as if it was kind of a second pilot.

Hello! This is derpchan, the member of This is Sternbild who can’t stop blogging! More episode titles were posted today.

17話「Blood is thicker than water.-血は水よりも濃い-」

18話「lgnorance is bliss.-知らぬが仏-」

No speculation from me at this stage. I’ll watch at least episode 14 first to see where things are going. See ya!

Episode 13: You Make Bunny Cry Edition

Hey guyse? You remember last week when I predicted that this week all our carefully made predictions would be nothing but marsh gas? Well guess what? I was absolutely right about that.

This isn’t a complaint though. A week of suffering was totally worth what episode 13 served us and then some. If you want to prove us wrong, this is the right way to do it. We’ve seen this episode three times so far and I still don’t quite know how to reach a high enough level of coherency in my writing so I don’t embarrass myself. So, apologies in advance…

「信頼という木は大きくなるのが遅い木である」

Episode 12 impressions

12. Take heed of the snake in the grass　「草の中にいる蛇に用心せよ」

Oh boy. Should have seen this come from miles away. Somehow the series managed to lull us into false sense of security by being incredibly fun and entertaining, but things never are that easy when it’s a Sunrise show we’re talking about. After spending a week wringing our hands at what’s going to happen to Ivan, it turns out that he was the least of our worries. Welcome to mid-series crisis.

Since Aki is still in a state of wanting to throw vending machines at people, I guess this post is on me. (Not that I can blame her.)
