Tiger and Bunny Exposed?

Seriously, you can’t lied to Anime fan anymore, thanks to HD tech… the News article shown in the latest Tiger and Bunny episode exploded into a discussion on 2ch with people willing to unblur the article to get the back story only to figure that it was just an article from the NYTimes, much to the disappointment of 2ch, and those wanting to know the story behind Bunny-kun’s parent’s death.

LoL, looks like using even stock articles are going to be quite a difficult task for anime producers in the future.

What do you think about this?

Btw, here is the original,

Kataru by Daiyaku


I tried using twitcast at SOYC and used Daiyaku as the test rat… A not so good Interview on what Kataru is about. In short it’s a Dojin and animated Visual novel about love, it’s not +18 8P

[FB 10150213611076760]

You might also wanna look at our twitcast channel for some other (not very good) videos of SOYC. Like the reaction to Animax’s English dubbed Yuki

That is about it. Unless you wanna see the OP for one of this season’s anime, Tiger and Bunny. It’s a very commercialized OP that is featuring product placement,  logo placements and etc.

Thou the song is really quite nice too…

So long then until the next neglect ~
