Tiger & Bunny Pilot

In Stern Bild City, people born with extraordinary NEXT abilities can become sponsored heroes whose rescues and arrests are broadcast as entertainment. Veteran hero Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, known as Wild Tiger, still values saving lives above ratings even as his old-fashioned approach leaves him behind the city's younger stars.

His career takes an unexpected turn when he is placed beside the cool and highly marketable Barnaby Brooks Jr., another hero with the same enhanced strength. Their clashing methods make cooperation difficult, but the city gives them little choice when real danger demands more than a good performance for the cameras.
