Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning.
Anime's most unlikely superhero pairing is treated to a full-length movie. In the series Barnaby "Bunny" Brookes Jnr. is the newcomer to Sternbild City and one of a brand of heroes called NEXT who use their superpowers to fight criminals and bring them to justice. Barnaby is paired with Kotetsu "Wild Tiger" Kaburagi, though at first he is considered to be a tired out has-been as far as the company who employs him are concerned.
Barnaby is everyone's idea of the perfect hero, handsome, charming, confident but once his perfect surface is stripped, Kotetsu finds he has a hidden agenda - he wants to root out the killer of his parents who died in a mysterious house fire. In the series Barnaby follows clues to where the killer could be, and we get to see some really bad red herrings crop up.
The first part of the movie is basically an explanation of what the series was about while the later story concerns a thief called Robin who just happens to be a NEXT too. Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning comes at the success of the original series, and there are plans for a second movie too: Tiger & Bunny: The Rising.
