"Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning" Movie Review


WARNING, May Contain SPOILERS

First half of the movie is the first two episodes of the TV series with a bit of original stuff mixed in (a few more cuts of Barnaby before his saving Kotetsu at the beginning, a scene of Kotetsu drinking and thinking of his dead wife, Yuri talking to Barnaby, etc.)

Latter half of the movie is completely original, taking place on Barnaby's first day on the job (night of episode 2) where all the heroes cooperate to catch a crook who has the ability to swap places with anyone he can see.

Some stuff on the heroes' powers are revealed (Skyhigh can only float with his power and needs his jetpack to really fly, Bison actually shows off his power), and all of them get scenes of their suiting up (longest is of course of Fire Emblem stripping).

Ending credits had a lot of unused footage not seen in the movie. Most of it was from the TV series, but there was some completely new stuff too (statue kid and ice skating kid fighting, Lunatic putting on his mask while standing on top of some building, Kotetsu thinking of his dead wife more) so the BD release will probably be longer (film runtime was 90 minutes).
