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!)

Oops, forgot to post this here earlier. Title for episode 24 was in Animage September issue.
Things just keep getting worse and worse. And what makes it even worse than that is that there are still five episodes left and we’re not sure if our bodies can take all this.
This episode had some really horribly derpy animation in the beginning, but to be honest I think it just adds to the charm of the series. Tiger & Bunny is even more awesome considering how well it sells compared to many other series with better animation. These guys are doing it right, despite being so constricted by the shoe-lace budget. (And I have no doubt this episode will receive corrections for the BD/DVD release.)
20. Full of courtesy, full of craft.

Newtype September issue has confirmation for the title of episode 23. (I’m not posting titles without source confirmation because I’ve seen people posting fake titles before. Better safe than sorry!) Previous episode titles post here with episodes 20-22.
Another one of those “I don’t even know where to start” -posts. We thought that episode 12 was painful to watch but this was even worse now that we’ve gotten even more invested to the characters and so many bad things are happening. This episode had two major points: Kotetsu and Barnaby’s unsteady partnership, and the revelation of what really happened on that day 21 years ago when Barnaby’s parents died.
19. There’s no way out.
