Ha! This show has me hooked already. At first I thought it would take an approach similar to Tentai Senshi Sunred but the team behind the series doesn't seem to fit that style or approach.

Why do they use those weird notations such as "24:30", "27:05", etc.? Are Japanese clocks more generous?

Well, first, Japan uses a 24 hour time system for most things instead of AM and PM.

Second, when a show airs late at night, past midnight, it's usually still considered airing on the day before, and to denote that it is listed with an air time like that.

e.g. Say a show airs on Sunday at 2:30 AM. That would be listed in Japan as "Saturday 26:30".

It kind of makes more sense to call that a Saturday show than a Sunday show, since you would be staying up late on Saturday to watch it.

Was not expecting to see that picture when I clicked on a link that said "Tiger & Bunny Hero". Even with Sunrise attached to the name.

So with both Satou and Katsura working on the project does that mean this is going to look like Batman The Animated Series ala Big O? If so I have to check this out.

Plus they've got the guy who did the music for FLAG and Karas doing the soundtrack, which is pretty awesome.

And they have showtimes like 27:05, 14:35, 7:25, etc. Because they think that if you're already watching a show, you won't change the channel if another show in another channel already starts earlier or later than your current show. Laughing

This looks like it might be pretty fun. The part about company's placing their logos on the characters within the series sounds interesting.

Thats a pretty sweet staff they have working on it as well.

I always thought it strange they'd use military time for civilian use.
