Mania Grade: B+

In Summary:
There's a lot to like with this show after a first episode that won me over handily. With this one, we see the pairing of Tiger & Bunny together and the problems that it has, and we get a good look at who Kotetsu really is and his idea of what being a hero is all about. There's plenty of laughs here, but it's generally not meant to be huge laugh out loud material based on what's going on in the show. It's the kind of stuff that makes you grin and really enjoy it. Sunrise is doing a kick-ass job with this show so far on just about every level, though it reminds me of IGPX in a way, because of the way it wants to draw the various elements together. The two leads still need time to be fleshed out more to really get behind them, especially Barnaby, but so far the series has a whole lot of heart, great action and excellent animation that will draw me back easily week after week.
