the subs still reference having logos so I'm sure it's completely, bafflingly untouched

Reminds me of an absurdly silly Nelvana edit (admittedly only one out of an entire sea of bad Nelvana edits) around the turn of the century. Seriously, if you're going to keep visually, or in the dialogue, referencing something that you've erased, you kind of need to put something back too.

I like that Sword's dumb 'thank you for your boobs' thing seems to be an in-joke with women he knows well enough to believe they'll find it funny. Guy's a lot classier and more tactful with unfamiliar women than most anime womanisers.

Given that it was created from a black guy, the Horror design this time around could have looked a little less like a demonic gollywog, but it wasn't a huge deal, just an unfortunate coincidence.

C'mon dude, all horrors look like demented monstrosities, there would have been nothing that could have not been misconstrued. The horror this time looked like something that ran ridiculously fast, the victim/horror of the week was characterized well pre-horrorification, there were no stereotypical cultural touch-stones that could have been exploited to induce irrational fright in the audience.

The creators acted in good faith. They could have been lazy and exploitative, they were not.

im not sure what you're making fun of here, the corporate sponsors are a literal plotpoint in tiger and bunny with narrative and thematic weight. one of the villains makes fun of them for just being walking billboards instead of real heroes, tiger tries to do whats best for the people around him instead of listening to his corporate overlords, rose has to do a dumb catchphrase and pose before she can actually save the day because it's on-brand. airbrushing out the corporate logos weakens the show's plotting and theming significantly, since it's entirely about the burdens and expectations of reality versus the desire to help other people. It'd be one thing if they replaced them with made-up brands, but just airbrushing them out hurts the show a lot.

I don’t think the pitch-black skin and bright red lips were mandatory, though. That was the slightly unfortunate bit.

I mean, it’s not like Horrors even have to have faces, let alone ones with those particular connotations.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Something just doesn't make sense about the Netflix Tiger&Bunny thing.

If the corporate sponsors paid for the spots, and Netflix edited them out, shouldn't they be pissed?

Or, if Netflix was allowed to edit them out, how the gently caress did they not jump on the opportunity to replace them? Like cut a deal to slap some Mickey D's arches on that poo poo instead of Softbank, and other more "target demographic relevant" sponsors?

Something just doesn't add up here.

The logos aren't scrubbed on any of the other services T&B is on, so it was clearly Netflix's decision

I think the problem is that they paid for the spots for the Japanese broadcast, not any theoretical western broadcast, which would make displaying the company logos there illegal, as they didn't technically have permission to do so (not quite sure on the specifics of how that works, though).

They also probably thought it was too much work for too little payoff to find replacements, negotiate a deal, and then edit the footage to change the logos for a show that's probably not going to get all that many views.

OK, I got the exact shade of the lips wrong, but here he is:



Big, pale lips, bulging eyes, black skin. Little unnecessarily suggestive when they could have gone for, say, an armoured beak to go with the avian theme.

There's billions of possible reasons why Netflix scrubbed Tiger and Bunny, it's possible that the agreements had just expired, it's a six year old show.

Do they even make Pepsi NEX anymore?

Whether or not there's a reason isn't really the issue, it just sucks because brands and branding is a large part of the plot and setting and it's specifically mentioned in the story itself.


"Make sure they can see the logo!"
*camera zooms in on a blank white space*

"I hate these so called heroes and their head to toe branding" ~no logos of any type to be seen~


It makes it into nonsense and it's a shame.

I wish they'd then just highlight some of their series then. Blue Rose sponsored by Kimmy Schmidt, Tiger sponsored by Bojack Horseman, Blazing Symbol sponsored by Sense8(though I guess that could be for Rock Bison. Since it got canceled)
