New 'Tiger & Bunny' Anime Series Announced
The official Twitter account of Tiger & Bunny has announced that the franchise will be receiving a new anime series. Yoshitomo Yonetani, director of the TV series and both films, will not be reprising his role. More information will be announced at a later date.
The franchise had previously received a TV series by studio Sunrise that aired for 25 episodes between April and September 2011. In addition, a side story film premiered in September 2012, followed by a sequel titled Tiger & Bunny 2: The Rising in February 2014.
A manga adaptation written and illustrated by Mizuki Sakakibara was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype Ace magazine from September 2011 to December 2014. The manga has released nine compiled volumes. Additionally, a one-shot, three-volume comic anthology, and a seven-volume alternative comic by Erika Yoshida and Hiroshi Ueda were also published. A video game, stage play and a live-action film were also released.
Viz Media has licensed both the anime and the manga for North American distribution and released the TV series and the side story throughout 2013, with the sequel movie in February 2015. The manga was released in English between April 2013 and November 2016.
Tiger & Bunny had previously topped NHK's Best 100 anime last year, and its main characters Kotetsu T. Kaburagi and Barnaby Brooks Jr. made the top 10 list of the broadcaster's favorite character ranking to commemorate 100 years of Japanese anime history.
