Sum it up in a Sentence:
An unpopular aging veteran and an adored young upstart are forced into the world's first superhero duo while competing to protect Sternbild City on the reality show HeroTV.
Main Description
Tiger & Bunny is set in the western metropolis of Sternbild City. Forty five years ago, people developed mysterious powers and became known as NEXT. While persecution drove many to hide their talents from others, some decided to use their powers for the good of protecting the city becoming Super Heroes.
In order to most effectively use the heroes (and control the damages they may cause), the city has the heroes register themselves and participate in a city-owned reality television show called HeroTV with ads emblazoned on their suits. The exploits of the heroes are broadcasted live across the world, with their performance protecting the city scored. The hero with the most points at the end of each season is declared the King of Heroes.
Tiger and Bunny follows Wild Tiger (Kaburagi T. Kotetsu), and a veteran hero who has been in the business for over a decade and a half. He is a NEXT with "Hundred Power", which allows him to increase his strength and speed by a hundred fold for five minutes. Tiger is obsessed with justice and protecting people, but is also a goofy middle aged single dad and not very popular with viewers; in fact, he's well on his way towards being dropped altogether.
... until the network decides to try a new paradigm for ratings: by forming the first super hero crime fighting duo. Wild Tiger is paired with Barnaby Brooks Jr. (Barnaby Brooks Jr.), a young and cool hero who also has "Hundred Power". His dedication towards furthering the corporate interest of HeroTV and earning points clashes with Kotetsu's idealism and goofiness.
The best / worst super hero duo ever is born. This is their story.

The first season is great. The story is written and paced well. The exposition/filler episodes for the other heroes make you wish and hope we will get more insights for them in Season 2. The animation is top notch, including excellent integration between normal animation and the 3D CG. There aren't a ton of action scenes, but the ones that are there are placed very well.
