Uh? What? What's wrong with this episode of Tiger and Bunny? UK? Huh?

Anyway, as usual I'm wondering what allusions are tied to the episode title. Is it an ironic comment on the villains? A reflection of Tiger's philosophy? Maybe I'm slow but I always find myself reflecting on their choice of words.

Not much significant development in this one I don't think though there was a little bit on each of the characters, perhaps as a whole? The villain reveal at the end of the episode is probably the most cliche-esque thing I've seen of the show so far and not sure what to make of it. Are they implying he has something to do with the heroes? The villains? Or is he just going to make some important plot development all on his own?

The part where the duo both get one, and only one, part of their body ridiculously huge is kind of funny. Not sure if that'll be an ongoing thing. I hope they get further upgrades because otherwise it looks kind of ridiculous, don't you think?

You've posted on the talkback thread for the simulcast in the UK. Not sure how you got here. We handle the UK and Australian simulcasts separately from the US one (which comes from Hulu).

At any rate, it looks like Hulu moved their simulcast days to Wednesdays, so looks like you have a few days yet before ep 6 is posted for US fans.

Ok, I'm totally confused Justin. It's 7:42PM 5/7/11 CST U.S. and Ep 6 of Tiger and Bunny is up at Hulu. So are you talking about a Hulu in the UK or am I missing something here? Of course this isn't were we'd discuss that episode but I'm just reading this and wondering what is gong on.

Its possible that Hulu's page didn't update but I was able to watch Tiger and Bunny at the normal time on Viz's anime page. It doesn't matter because its up on Hulu right now.

Argh... Sorry, looks like our Hulu feed isn't importing correctly. Yeah, please go watch it over there till I get this sorted out.

Ep5 did post late last week on Hulu, hence my confusion.

Actually it was up by late Sunday, Justin. While I was late watching it last week (I try to watch it Saturday evenings but I was running a 102 temp last week at that time and was out like a light in bed), I did end up watching Sunday evening late (I remember now, Sunday 10PM CSTish, after the Dubreview IRC chat ended). I thought VIZ just had ANN on a delay of some sort and that was why you never updated it all last week Confused .


PS: I wonder if that's why there wasn't much chat at my usual boards last week about the episode? Maybe most everyone is watching it here Smile . I'm sorry I didn't realize that before. I just bookmarked it over at Hulu without thinking and have been heading there. Heck, I didn't even realize until this last Friday night that it is also up at VIZ (with a next episode clock, which is helpful FWIW) Embarassed
