Group Weekly Watch Episode 5

[littlered]

Let's watch Tiger & Bunny together <3 Please feel free to utilize the comments to discuss with other LJ-ers. Thinking on it now, I'm not sure how feasible it is to get us all watching during one specific time. So, please feel free to introduce yourselves (think very very very loosely friending meme style) and what time you will be on to discuss/

Watching this week via Hulu from a friend's computer. I've forgotten how annoying Verizon is

I just watched the espisode, all the new stuff I can add is:

The scene at the office, with Kotetsu having selective memory, I mean when Barnaby said he was sad about the incident, Kotetsu "remembered" about Barnaby's birthday and thought he was sad about that, but Barnaby was sad about Kotetsu and his "bad luck" when he tried to help the lady.

I like how Barnaby trolled Kotetsu about wanting the Heracles diamond.

I wonder if Kotetsu realises that saying "I did/said something cool" never works; that must come from the mouth of the people watching you Kotetsu, and once again shows that he wants his efforts be appreciated, interesting that only Barnaby is doing something about it, I guess Antonio gave up somewhere along the road.

Yes! Scarf-tan! No episode is complete without her!

More seriously, just a few seconds in, we also see Judge Yuri Petrov at his day job (wearing that unbelievable tie) -- and, wearing a more conservative tie, in the tag. Yes, he's the mildly smiling man who steps out of the crowd and drops a newspaper or flyer with a headline about the hero world's first superhero duo ... (probably not a spoiler, but I'l mark for highlighting) that goes up in blue flames. Foreshadowing, folks.

(Can't comment much this week as my DSL modem died and I'm in the dial-up doldrums for a bit.)

Episode 5 is an episode I love! My headcanon is that Barnaby always has terrible birthdays. Always

why do they both lose points?
It is a nice way to force teamwork.

Antonio is more observant and sensitive here than Kotetsu
It is not about being sensitive/observant, Kotetsu simply wants to be meddlesome, Antonio knows that.

Did Karina buy the bunny?
If the 4komas in the manga count, Kotetsu bought that... and it didn't look like a bunny at first.

Is the flashback set before or after his parent's deaths?
highlight to read-> After, it was stated in the Montly hero magazine and one of the official books, the thing not clear is, was that in Maverick's house? or the orphanage/boarding school? we'll know once someone reads King of Works

except for Antonio and Kotetsu, we don't see them socializing outside of work.
Mmm manga says otherwise. I mean the Miracle Jump one.

I would love to know what the TV audience sees during Good Luck Mode. Do they see the fancy graphics, or does it look like a slow-motion kick?
Answer is in ep 12, fancy graphics

Oh man, who doesn't love this episode?

-The first time I watched the series, I didn't ever stick around for the credits. When I found out Kotetsu and Barnaby take turns narrating the episode previews, I went back and watched them again. Not only had I been missing out on those silly things, but I missed all the extra bits, such as the one at the end of the credits of this episode (but right before the episode preview).

-Poor Sky High, lol.

-Heck yes Good Luck Mode!!! I love the animation sequence for it. I also love seeing them getting into their suits beforehand. You have to wonder how one gets into something like that.

-My favorite part of the entire episode is seeing Barnaby awkwardly walk away with the criminal with his Good Luck Mode foot making his legs uneven. LOL I actually didn't catch it the first time, and when I heard Morita say he loved that part, I had to go back and see what it was. There are a lot of little things in this show that are easy to miss, but so good!
