welcome back wild tiger 🐯🎉

Hi anon, thank you very much for your question and compliment, I’m always happy to help! Congratulations on getting through your watch of TIGER & BUNNY, even if it was last year! It’s always a joy to see newcomers to the series, you have so much content to dive into it!

In response to the first part of your question, if you haven’t done so already, I would like to use this opportunity to recommend checking out these wonderful, already existing fan-run/made resources. The generous owners of these informative blogs/places of knowledge have put in years of hard work, in putting together a hub of useful information and comprehensive lists to catalogue this franchise’s rich cross multi-media release history. This would include covering the extra material such as the audio drama CDs, OVAs, the live stage show, character image songs, soundtracks, the multiple manga series, movies, novels, video games, in-person events! You name it, there is so much stuff!

Some of the resources will also specialise in a particular area, all being extremely knowledgeable in their field and are absolutely worth your time in checking out:

https://tnbdirectory.tumblr.com/ - A excellent source for translations that were conducted with the seiyuu cast and production staff throughout the years. They cover interviews from books/guidebooks/radio talks/live event shows and many other media. They have also compiled magazine articles that have been translated throughout the years from various sources, into one handy place, to help preserve them from becoming lost and inaccessible to the English-speaking fandom.

https://herotvdatabase.miraheze.org/wiki/Tiger_%26_Bunny_Wiki - A work in progress private wiki – which aims to provide accurate information and catalogue the franchise’s releases across the different media.

https://bigtreewiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page - A work in progress private wiki, which specialises in cataloguing the mammoth amount of merchandise that have been released over the entirety of this franchise’s history.

https://www.tumblr.com/tnbscans - A fan blog which specialises in scanning and archiving the various key art that have been used for promotional and merchandising purposes, along with providing easy access to magazine articles/covers/books/Blu-Ray/DVD home releases and lots of miscellaneous goodies, that are now difficult to obtain.

https://thisissternbild.com/ A long-time fan blog, with many informative posts about the franchise and translations, along with a comprehensive put together fan theory timeline. You’ll also get a taste of some of the events hosted by the fans and a look back at live blogging entries during the series’ early days during its weekly online/televised release in Japan! As well as timely news reporting on their Twitter/X and Blusky profiles, which I also support 😊

And most importantly, remember to check out the franchise’s official website and Twitter/X profile, which archive the franchise’s entire history:

These wonderful sources have so much to offer, that you’ll go down a rabbit hole and probably won’t be able to get out again (I know I didn’t! xD)

With regards to your second question (which admittedly, did get a giggle out of me), due to the TIGER & BUNNY Wiki/Fandom being a publicly accessible platform that anyone can contribute to, this often leads to incidences like this, where completely fabricated information is contributed to be treated as factual.

So no, “Fruity Juice Daddy” and “Cute Little Granola Bar” are not real nicknames.

Wikipedia/Wikis(Fandom) can be useful as they are often created and managed by individuals who are passionate in their subject and usually share their expertise to great length, often have good intentions. Unfortunately, their efforts can be sabotaged because of the fact that anyone can edit the articles, which causes there to be a constant sense of doubt in the trustworthiness and accuracy of the information provided. Also a lack of sources can further that sense of doubt.

Some of the Wikis that I noted above in my recommendations are privately managed. They are maintained exclusively by the owner and their selected contributors only (like how I manage this blog for example), which has huge advantages in terms of control and has become a popular option over the years for many fandoms to migrate to something that is independently run. The only downside is that they do not have a lot of exposure, as they are not as easy to find as Wikipedia/Wiki (Fandom).

My general advice with everything nowadays is, if information seems a little, well, off, you're in the right to question their accuracy. Please make sure to do some research to try and source where the information originally came from, to gain a better sense if it is factual or not. ((Also good on you for questioning those nicknames and checking for official sources! We love to see it 😊))

As this franchise is primarily Japanese, we understand the barrier that it can cause in terms of gaining access to reliable information, that is also in English. So we do our best to give you factual and accurate information, that is backed up by sources, to overcome those issues. I cannot understate the efforts made by this community in general and the many users that contribute with little to no recognition, so please do remember to spread the good word.
