Muse (Taiwan) released Tiger & Bunny in a complete collection DVD collection earlier this month. And a question came up from a consumer in regards to the disappearance of Japan corporate logos during video playback.

And Muse replied back...So basically due to request from Japan, Japan corporate logos are not approved for overseas and thus must be removed.

It's not looking good for US (and other territories like UK and AU).

- 剛發售的TIGER & BUNNY DVD入手了以後受到了驚嚇....

為什麼影片中所有HERO身上的贊助商LOGO全部消失???


- 不好意思，由於日方授權關係，日本企業LOGO並未授權於海外地區，因此LOGO都必須移除。

EDIT: translation via dormcat @ ANN

"We're sorry, due to licensing issues, using logos of Japanese enterprises is not authorized overseas. Therefore they have to be removed."

EDIT 2: via Siren Visual Facebook page

Our masters are all the same for the U.S.,Europe and Aus so expect to see the same placements,etc.Our hero mags/cards are supplied by Kaze in Europe so they are also the same.

Even though Viz Media has yet to announce home video rights to the Tiger & Bunny movies, this Siren Visual news couldn't make it much more clear. I would expect the first movie to be released on Blu-ray and DVD sometime this summer from Viz Media.

Stern Bild City is a thriving metropolis where superheroes called “NEXTs” protect the streets, sponsors pull the strings, and a hugely popular show called Hero TV captures all of it. Veteran hero Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (AKA Wild Tiger) and hotheaded new rookie Barnaby Brooks, Jr. (nicknamed Bunny by Kotetsu) are forced to team up not only to protect Stern Bild City, but to earn as many points on Hero TV as possible. Joined by a diverse cast of heroes, each with different powers and answering to their own corporate sponsors, Tiger and Bunny must find a way to work together, uncover the secret of the “Ouroboros,” and earn enough points to become this year’s “King of Heroes.”
