TRAILER: Tiger & Bunny: The Rising (Also WTF Rant)

So much wrong with this.. Words escape me.. Should have sent an angry guy who watches to much Anime.. Oh shit that’s me, aaaa… grab my notes here.

But no really what the hell is this. Not to long ago I did a Tiger & Bunny Video review that can be found here. But I’ll give you the jest of it. T&B is a Superhero action show with a focus on slice of life character drama.The stories were less about taking down super villains and more about the daily life of of being a hero, and what it takes to be one in a world run by sponsors and trading cards.

But this, what is going on here. Lets ignore for a second that the story given in the trailer is just contrived and lazy. “Ow crap, we built our massive city on top of an ancient evil Indian burial ground. Anybody find it funny how that hasn’t been a problem until now?” But on top of that, I’m sorry guys your world is just not equipped to handle this kind of narrative. You laid the ground work for Technology, Secret Organizations and people not being who they say they are. You even ended the show on a cliffhanger that set up more story opportunities.

So why, Why are you going with the ancient Demigod come back to destroy all mankind angle? Although you have to give that narrator credit he’s trying as hard as he can to make the name “Tiger & Bunny: The Rising” sound bad ass.

We can only hope that this is just a bad trailer but things are looking grim. I fear I’m expecting the worst. Join me as one of my favorite Anime of the last couple years go up in flames. It’s like just watching Bleach all over again.
