Anime Profile: Tiger & Bunny

On the streets of Stern Bilt City, crime is running rampant. Combating this threat are costumed heroes know as NEXTs (Noted Entities of eXtraordinary Talent), all fight in the name of truth, justice... AND BIG TV RATINGS!!! Yes indeed, these heroes are the stars of the top show in the city "Hero TV Live", where their exploits are broadcast in a competition where the hero that accomplishes the most saves is crowned "King of Heroes" at the end of the season.

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, a.k.a. "Wild Tiger", is an old hand at this business, earning the money he needs to support his young daughter Kaede, who doesn't know her beloved dad is a superhero. But lately his powers had been fading, and he's been slipping out of favor in place of the current "King of Heroes" Sky High – so much so that he had lost his sponsor. But a new company has picked-up Kaburagi for them. However, there is a catch – the company has partnered him up with a new hero, Barnaby Brooks, Jr., who had become the first hero to reveal his identity! So reluctantly, Kaburagi teams with Brooks, who he calls "Bunny", and slogs through the coming season. Brooks, however, has got a secret agenda in mind – finding the killers of his parents!
