TIGER & BUNNY (Seasons 1–2)

TIGER & BUNNY (2011) is a Japanese superhero anime from studio Sunrise you can watch online on iFILM. The setting is Sternbild — a glittering, corporate-sponsored city where people with mutations called NEXT work as licensed heroes, doing their jobs live on Hero TV, chasing points, sponsors, and the annual King of Heroes title.

Veteran Wild Tiger has been working solo for years, running on a power called Hundred Power that maxes out after five minutes. His forced new partner, rookie Barnaby Brooks Jr., has the exact same ability — and a personal agenda Tiger knows nothing about. Their pairing is hostile, awkward, and inconvenient for everyone except the ratings department.

The 25-episode run spawned multiple OVAs and theatrical sequels and built a fanbase well beyond Japan. Beneath the flashy hero action the show is really about a middle-aged man who refuses to be written off — a rarer premise than it sounds. Stream TIGER & BUNNY (2011) online on iFILM.
