A round up of all the TIGER & BUNNY 2 related news that was released today! First, the most important news, we have a new trailer for cour 2! A reminder that the final set of episodes (14-25), will be releasing on October 7th (yes just 1 week away!) @ 4pm JST - worldwide over on Netflix.

Next, the cast watch parties, hosted by the troublesome buddy duo - series' seiyuu Hiroaki Hirata (Kotetsu) and Masakazu Morita (Barnaby), will be making its return, with hopefully more cast/staff guests!
The first watch party will be streamed live on the 7th October at 21:00 JST over on the BNPictures Youtube (note - this is most likely to be region locked again). This will then follow with weekly Saturday streams for episodes 15 - 24 at the regular time of 21:00 JST, from the 15th October onward. The final watch party for episode 25 will be hosted on Christmas Eve (also known in the fandom as BUDDY REUNION DAY) on the 24th December!
We hope that Anime Netflix will continue to translate these episodes for us and release them a week after they air, like the 1st batch of episodes.

Plenty of exciting things to look forward to over the upcoming months. Not long to go until the 7th October, get emotionally prepared!
I am. SO SORRY. For the absolutely appalling quality of this video. But my Twitch clip feature wasn’t working and gifs didn’t do it justice, and I just HAD to immortalize this husbands moment, so.
Anyway, Liam being on the verge of tears when watching Sam’s masterpiece just gives me a lot of hope and love, and I thought all of you should see it too.
We’ll be tuning into the live final episode of the cast watch party for the 1st cour of TIGER & BUNNY 2, which will be airing tomorrow (Saturday 2nd July @ 21:00 JST time). This will feature our regular goofy buddy hosts, Hiroaki Hirata (Kotetsu) and Masakazu Morita (Barnaby), along with special guests, Masafumi Nishida (series’ main script writer) and Masakazu Katsura (series’ main character designer).
We hope that they will drop some sort of teaser for the 2nd cour, so we’ll keep you all posted if anything is revealed.
(Note - this episode will not be available subtitled until next week, as per the usual Netflix Anime scheduling, which releases each episode subbed a week after it airs.)
When you know an actor has a guest role, but you don’t know which one until that episode hits, and then you find out Kaitlyn Dever canonically grows up to be Liv Hewson?!?
Someone posted the full Sandman watch party of The Sound of her Wings! It was hosted by Mark Hamill with Neil Gaiman, Allan Heinberg, David Goyer, Kirby Howell-Baptist, and Ferdinand Kingsley joining.
actually, upon seeing a totally unrelated post it occurred to me that people in Exandria think of the gods like people in America think of corporate brands, and I'm gonna turn that one over in my mind for a while
