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.

2nd season being planned
This news snippet from Nikkei Marketing Journal posted in a Japanese blog hints very strongly that a second season might come true. It’s still in planning stage but considering the current popularity of the show, I’ll be surprised if they don’t get it greenlit. The blog entry also mentions that there’s an event planned that’ll be tieing in with the airing of the final episode on September 17th.
I was tracking down the article and found that Tiger & Bunny is actually one of today’s Nikkei Marketing Journal’s main news. In short, the headline on the site reads “Bill-board Heroes Break Down the Common Rules of Anime” and the blurb text seems very excited about the new business model Tiger & Bunny has presented.
I find this pretty funny, since one of the reasons they had to get all those sponsors was to even get the project off the ground. It’s innovative, sure, but it’s not like they had much choice. As for second season, I’ll get excited if Satou will still be directing and Nishida writing it. Until then I’m gonna just wait and see.
Speculah: Special “what is going on because I have no idea anymore” Edition
Okay, we can stop speculating about how Barnaby’s parents died and who killed them and why. That doesn’t mean that everything is solved. Quite the opposite, in fact. And the whole jazz with how Ouroboros plays into everything still isn’t resolved.
Cutting for spoilers, and because this got a bit long.
Tiger & Bunny Timeline (Old Version)
An updated and revised timeline based on the one that was in the Easter Eggs fanvideo. The series uses an alternate timeline, so their year NC 1978 isn’t the same as our 1978.
UPDATE: A fully revised timeline including S2 and both movies is now available.
More manga anthologies (updated)
Apart from the already announced manga publications, I noticed a few more have stealthily popped up.
- There are three Tiger & Bunny: GO! GO!! anthologies listed on Amazon Japan (1, 2, 3), two of them are already on Hobby Search. The anthologies are published by Movic and coming out in September/October.
- Asuka Comics has also announced two comic anthologies that are coming out on September 26th. They’re available at least on CD Japan: #1 It Takes Two to Make a Quarrel and #2 First Catch Your Hare (titles aren’t listed on CD Japan but I found them through Google).
Judging from the artist listing on Amazon Japan, the GO! GO!! books will probably be gag, and I know at least some of the artists have done doujinshi. The Asuka Comics anthologies will be written and illustrated by Mayu Shinjo (thanks to shukamu for the information).
I’ve preordered them all and I’m planning to review them once they arrive, if they turn out to be any good. At least books don’t sell out as fast on preorders as figures, that’s some consolation for me as a book collector. (´_ゝ｀)
