Tiger & Bunny – Huang Pao-Lin
Banpresto
The youngest hero in Sternbild City, is rendered in plastic wearing her civilian outfit. Its similarity to Uma Thurman’s jumpsuit in Kill Bill is just a coincidence.

Tiger & Bunny – The Rising Poster
Here’s the first teaser poster for Tiger & Bunny – The Rising. It’s based on the hit anime about superheroes vying to be the most popular on the reality series HERO TV, and thus attract the most corporate sponsors.
‘The Rising’ is an original story taking place after the end of the TV series. The poster gives a release date of Autumn 2013.

New Tiger & Bunny Hero Revealed
The first official trailer for Tiger & Bunny – The Beginning has revealed the promised new hero character.
Of course, other than the fact that he wears glasses, we don’t learn anything in particular about him. The Tiger & Bunny twitter account did, however, chime in with the character’s name: Robin. Maybe he’s a sidekick?
Tiger & Bunny Movie Preview
The first footage from Tiger & Bunny – The Beginning aired on the Japanese morning show Mezamashi Terebi this morning.
This film will be a compilation of the TV series, comprised mostly of reused footage, through the producer, Masayuki Ozaki promised the introduction of a new hero character, so there’s at least one surprise to look forward to (though I wouldn’t expect the character to have that big a role).

Beams is taking pre-orders until July 9th, with a shipping date of September. With the exchange rate, they’ll run you a little under $200 each.
Tiger & Bunny’s Odd Merchandising
Japan is no stranger to exploitatively merchandising a hit anime series, but this one seemed a little excessive to me. It’s a 25 meter long roll of tape with scenes from the Tiger & Bunny TV series printed on it.
The show finished last year, and with a new movie on the way, they obviously want to keep the franchise fresh in people’s minds; but with masking tape? Continue reading

Volume Nine
Bandai Visual
The ninth and final volume of Tiger & Bunny closes a chapter on the adventures of the titular heroes and their compatriots in Stern Bild City. It leaves many questions unanswered, and indeed, asks a few new ones. Presumably, these new mysteries will be tackled in the two movies that have been announced since the TV series ended its run.
