[UPDATED!] TIGER&BUNNY Fans, Want More Tiger&Bunny? [UPDATED!]

I made [a post] a while back with links to read the manga and watch the movies online. Unfortunately KissManga and KissAnime have gone down for good.

However! @thirdleagueheroes has been translating [TIGER&BUNNY THE COMIC], the Canon manga series, and has their translations posted for download! They currently have up to chapter 31 (out of 41 total) listed [HERE]!

There are also several comic anthologies. There is a full list [here].

There are two companion shorts called [“Side Bunny”] and [“Side Tiger”] in which all the other heroes visit the respective main character’s apartment. “Side Bunny” takes place sometime during the ten months between [episode 13] and [episode 14]. “Side Tiger” takes place one month after the epilogue. You can watch them on YouTube here: [Side Bunny] and here: [Side Tiger]. Unfortunately the OP has made both of the videos private.

There are two movies -

The first half of [Tiger&Bunny: The Beginning] is basically a recap of the first two episodes, but it also includes a lot of extra scenes that were cut from the aired episodes and an extra episode that takes place between episode 2 and episode 3. It’s definitely worth the watch. In fact I would recommend watching The Beginning then starting the series at episode 3.

[Tiger&Bunny: The Rising] takes place sometime 1 to 3 years after the anime ends about 2 years after the epilogue.

Unfortunately I don’t know where you can watch the movies for free online, but you can buy them on DVD [HERE] and [HERE], as well as the whole first series [HERE] and [HERE].

EDIT: Thanks to @tiptapricot for letting me know that [wcostream.com] has the English Dub of the series and both movies available in full and in good quality for free! An ad blocker would be recommended but not necessary. If you have Hulu, they also have the series in both sub and dub, but not either of the movies.

All of the above ↑ are 100% Canon.

There is a third manga serialization, by Sakakibara Mizuki, that deviates from Canon. It sort of follows the first couple episodes, but goes full AU by episode 8. I don’t know of anywhere you can read it online, but it did get an official English translation through VIZ, and you can buy it [HERE].

You can find a list of artbooks and guidebooks [here].

You can find a list of Drama CDs [here].

You can find a list of Radio Shows [here].

You can find a list of music [here]. The [Best of Hero] character songs can all be found on YouTube.

Think Note Vol #57: Starting Point

Myojo 12/2017

(Translated from scans by MoMozzz32 on weibo.  The photo is also from her.  Please let me know if there are any errors.)

I have always acted on my feelings.  I will take responsibility for whatever happens to me.

These are the thoughts he had after holding the 10th anniversary concert at Yokohama Arena; the place that can be called the starting point of Hey!Say!JUMP.  Also, as an idol and an actor, what is the origin of the current unwavering Yamada?

—–

Coinciding with Hey!Say!JUMP’s 10th Anniversary concert tour, I choreographed for 1 song for the first time ever. It was around 3 years ago when I first thought about trying to choreograph and I confided in Dai-chan (Arioka). Since I wanted my first choreography experience to be special, I thought “isn’t this the best timing?” When I spoke with the members, they were on board with it right away. However, I had zero experience with choreography, so I had no idea where to start… Fumbling along, I thought about the formation and the steps at the same time. [T/N: While in Paris, wearing only his underwear, as he told the audience on Music Station.  Or nude, as told in one of the MC sessions.  You are welcome! :-) ]  The most important thing is to consider how to show the 9 of us dancing in sync.  In fact, when we were practicing, we were perfectly in tune with one another.  Unfortunately, I did not take our costumes into account. Since we picked the outfits that matched the song first, [it turned out] the boots we were wearing, the chains that were attached to certain members’ jackets, etc… actually made it harder for them to dance. So for our actual performance, we were not able to show the beautiful dancing we achieved during rehearsal, and that was really regrettable.  So when picking outfits for the song, it is important to think about how they will affect the movements. This is something I need to remember for future concerts.

If I have to talk about the starting point for Yamada Ryosuke, the actor, then I will say I owe it all to the producer I have worked with since “Scrap Teacher”. I don’t think it is too much to say that I learned how to act through her words and advice.  I used to be the type who overthink everything before I act [in a scene]. But 2 years ago, when I participated in the drama “Okaasan, Ore Wa Daijobou” (Mom, I am fine), I was [finally] able to empty my mind completely when I was acting.  Maybe it was possible because the family in the story was quite similar to my own, and also, my five senses were cleansed due to me not eating much to get into the character.  [T/N: He played a cancer patient, so he had to look sickly.]  When the producer saw the scene where my character was crying and banging against the wall, she gave me the highest complement, “Because of that [level of] acting, this [drama] can be finished properly”. Since she doesn’t normally complement others, I remember I was very happy [to hear her say that].  “Okaasan, Ore wa Daijobou” was probably the most satisfactory role [to me] up to now.  Although it is different from a novel or a live action adaptation, from that point forward, I have learned that expressing my feelings naturally is more important than using particular acting techniques.

My personality has not changed over the years. Since I come across as very ordinary, people keep telling me “You are not like an entertainer”.  Somehow, I feel a bit smug about that. During the time when I was a Jr. and when I first debuted, I had a strong desire to “Be a good kid!”, so I wanted to take responsibility for myself during magazine interviews or variety shows.  If I had something to say, I would not hold back. On the positive side, I was able to share my thoughts with the staff together.  My current “self” is very different from my Jr. “self” who only wanted to dance 1 row ahead.  Nowadays, my head is filled with thoughts on how to bring our group to the next level.  Since JUMP members all have a high level of self-awareness, I have to improve my production abilities.  If Yabu (Kota)-chan and I can look at these [qualities] objectively, I believe we will become bigger and better. The validation from members, staff, and fans allow me to take on the position as a producer.  I would like to [show you] JUMP’s growth as a thanks for your support.

“Like this forever…” - Ryosuke

Hey!Say!JUMP 2019-2020 Calendar 100 Q&A: Yamada Ryosuke

I already posted these on twitter, but posting them here so they are all in one place.  Still haven’t proofread the document. Hopefully there aren’t too many errors.

Recent hobby? - To steep myself in games. I’ve been playing RPG games.

Top 3 favorite animals? - 1: dog, 2: sloth, 3: monkey. There are 2 dogs at my parents’ place. Sloths I’ve liked for a while. Although I’d like to keep one, it’s impossible to have a tropical animal (lol). Maybe I like these types of “relaxed” animals.

Shower guy? Bath guy? - Shower.

Source of energy? - Food!

Describe a moment when your excitement level is high? - During live concerts, the moment when I see the audience from the stage. “It’s so great that I’m working in this job” will pop into my head, it’s the happiest moment in my life.

What’s your personal dream / vision? - I want to always work steadily as an actor.

What motto do you live by? - “Even if there is just 1% chance, I will never give up.”

With which member will you go to hanami (flower viewing)? - I am allergic to pollen and there are lots of bugs, so I don’t go to hanami.

If you have a chance for a redo in life, what age will you go back to? - 10 years old. The year I joined Johnny’s & Associates. That said, I don’t want a redo.

What are you addicted to? - Cleaning. Although I love cleanliness, when people come over for dinner and spilled stuff, I also don’t care. That’s because I love to put away the mess.

What is your role in the group? - No matter when, I am usually the first one to speak.  Since the members also wait for me to speak, and the staff-san will ask me questions first, I ended up with this role.

What is the most memorable thing during the “Heisei” era? - Being part of a group called Hey!Say!JUMP.

Tell me Chinen’s weakness! - Knit.

Tell me Nakajima’s weakness! - Dirty things. (Literal meaning.)

Tell me Arioka’s weakness! - Belly button. He hates it when people touch it.

Tell me Takaki’s weakness! - He can’t handle high calorie foods.

Tell me Inoo’s weakness! - Exercise.

Tell me Yaotome’s weakness! - He can’t remember anything.

Tell me Yabu’s weakness! - Tomato.

Tell me Chinen’s allure! - There are so many. He’s a genius. He face the world as a guy who can do do anything and has a very good understanding of himself, which is very good.

Tell me Nakajima’s allure! - He can do anything. He is high-spec (top notch), but he is also hardworking.

Tell me Arioka’s allure! - He’s a positive, bright person. You’ll feel happy just being together with him.

Tell me Takaki’s allure! - Very gentle. Comparing to before, he has a great love for JUMP, he kept talking about “JUMP, JUMP” wherever he goes.

Tell me Inoo’s allure! - Talk power. He honed those skills through “Mezamashi TV”. It feels very comforting to go on location shoots with him in the variety programs.   

Tell me Yaotome’s allure! - His “ojisan-like” personality. He can take a nap wherever he goes. There are moments when that side of him will shine spectacularly as an item (special feature?) of JUMP, so in that sense, he is very reliable.

Tell me Yabu’s allure! - Although he is the oldest, he doesn’t act like “I need to get a hold of myself” a lot. Because of that, the people who are younger than him can feel at ease.  Because we have Yabu-chan, we are able to things confidently, he is truly a reliable bigger brother.

Send a message to Okamoto Keito! - Keito, when are you coming back? How is winter in New York? It’s probably very cold, right? I want to tell you about the live tour, and I also want to hear about your New York life!

��last time i noticed a lot of people were unhappy about the translated words ‘my kid’ to ‘my guy’ in frankenstein’s speech when he meets dorant’s team??? lol chill~ :D maybe the translators actually ship M21 as an adult hoho ~ *w*

[danchoumiki]

There are many layers to this scene that make it not only beautiful, but also powerful in a subtle way.

More than anything, for the first time ever Sanji’s being directly told that he’s not just kind, but kinder than anyone. I don’t think Sanji was ever ashamed of his kind nature despite all that he’d gone through in his childhood because of it, but he probably didn’t consciously recognize “kindness” as his biggest asset. But here, Reiju is telling Sanji exactly why he is so special, why he is so powerful in his own right and deserves to be loved.

Also, Sanji’s kindness is his mother’s legacy - a legacy so dear that she passed down to him at the cost of her life. I believe this knowledge about his mother won’t become yet another burden of “indebtedness” on his shoulders; rather, he would accept her sacrifice with “gratitude” and grow deeper as a person, always thanking her for gracing him with humanity unlike his brothers, who are the truly unfortunate “failures”.

Lastly, let’s not forget that this scene is about Reiju as much as it is about Sanji. By telling Sanji how precious and worthy a person he is, that he deserves to live on, Reiju is repenting her sin and is ready to embrace death with no regrets. This is the moment where she redeems herself, finally pulling down her thirteen years of facade and revealing the kind sister she could’ve been and always wanted to be. Her tears speak volumes about the love she still has for her little brother after all those years, how she mourns all those missing moments they could’ve cherished together as loving siblings but never got to.
