Tiger & Bunny is getting so popular that the characters started making cameos in other series even before the series finished airing. Barnaby seems to pop up most often, though Kotetsu has been moonlighting on the side, too. There are probably more examples, and I am not sure which series some of these pictures are from. Feels kinda like “Spot Origami Cyclone” -game but instead of just T&B you’re playing it with all the current anime and manga.
Cast comments from the Roman Album
Hi guys, it’s me again! Both Hero Gossips and Roman Album got delivered safely to our greedy hands, so I have more translations for you today.
This interview was published in the Roman Album, and consists of eight questions each of the interviewed seiyuus answered usually while being very in character.
Hirata, Morita, Kotobuki & Inoue (Kotetsu, Barnaby, Karina and Keith) didn’t answer these questions because they had full interviews, also published in the book. (Inoue’s interview can be read here, and the abridged version of Hirata & Morita interview here, translated.)
Disclaimer: not a professional translator, doing this for fun, etc. Standard fantranslation rules apply.

Review: Hero Gossips & Roman Album
The latest official books were released last week, and both finally arrived. These books cover the entire series, in addition to them there are the second volumes of the previous guide books coming later in October. I’ve only had time for a quick glance through both of them, but since they seem to be selling quite fast I figured it’d be best I do a quick review before they’re sold out, incase someone’s still pondering which one to get.

S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger getting a reprint
Missed out on Wild Tiger figure? Hope’s not lost, he’s getting a reprint and rerelease on October 15th. Thanks to PJA for the heads up.
(So sorely tempted myself to go for it, but then I look at my preorder list and sigh… Besides, the Figuarts Zeros are my priority.)
Animation comparison charts
Animation comparison charts rom both cours, pilot, and TV to BD/DVD comparisons (via Otanews). Most of the BD/DVD fixes may look weird at first but they actually look way better once you see the animation in movement. Click for full sizes, and more under the cut.
(I was going to post these earlier but I had already been pretty bloggy the day I found them so I forgot… Derp.)
