I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!



quote:

In the city-state Risvaletta, while people go about their tranquil everyday lives, crimes and illegal drugs run rampant. Above all, a dangerous, highly-fatal drug named "Anthem" is casting a dark shadow on the streets. The "Seven-O" special criminal investigation unit whose speciality is to supervise the investigation of Anthem, institutes a "Double Decker System" policy of forming groups of two investigators, and all members are given nicknames.

One team consists of the veteran investigator Doug Billingham accompanied by the rookie Kirill Vrubel. This unconventional duo combines an aloof veteran detective who is hard to get a read on, and an inexperienced detective who is a little too eager.


Double Decker is the latest anime by the team that brought you Tiger & Bunny, set in the same universe as part of a new overall T&B project. Instead of a superhero story, this'll be more of a buddy cop kinda thing, but it's probably gonna be just as gay. Doug is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch's dub voice, for cryin' out loud. They knew what they were doing.



Doug "Veteran" Billingham (Satoshi Mikami)
The most experienced member of Seven-O. Doug is a skilled professional in the field, but also displays a laid back, deadpan demeanor. He insists on exclusively using .38 caliber handguns because he considers them detective's weapons and is equipped with a complex gadget that can create Anthem-neutralizing bullets.


Kirill "Okappa" Vrubel (Kohei Amasaki)
Doug Billingham's new rookie partner, a former police constable with dreams of becoming a hero. Kirill is impulsive and somewhat dense, contrasting with his partner's cooler personality.


Double Decker comes out Sundays on Crunchyroll and Funimation. The first episode is already up as a preview!

Now, I know it's not the entire T&B team that's back, there are some new folks, but whoever's returning has still got it and whoever's new absolutely fuckin' gets it. This first episode didn't miss a beat from Tiger & Bunny. Despite the different subject matter, the feel is absolutely still there, and 8 years later, it's become very comfy.

I also like that the news story was being presented by Apollon. By the way, am I the only one who figured Sam Purcell for a reference to Steve Purcell's Sam and Max? Feels like the kinda reference this team would make.

I'm...tentatively curious, though that title makes a bit nervous. I'll check it out, though.

It's a pun. Decker is pronounced "Deka" in Japanese, and Deka is a slang term for a detective.

One thing I like is that between Tiger and Bunny and this, this team is usually good at giving their characters believably western names.

And then you get Kirill Vrubel.

Also I like that even though it's the classic buddy cop dynamic of hotheaded rookie and cool, wise veteran, it still feels a bit fresh in this context because it's an inverse of the dynamic Barnaby and Kotetsu had.
