Nikkei Marketing Journal has reported on Twitter of a possible second season for the television anime series, Tiger & Bunny. Although, the last episode of Tiger & Bunny is set to air at the end of next month, the producers are looking into a possible second season due to the average rating having a well increase over 2% which sets a new standard among other programs in the same time slot.

Tiger & Bunny is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise under the direction of Keiichi Satou. The series takes place in the year “NC 1978″ in a fictional, re-imagined version of New York City called Sternbild City, where 45 years before, individuals with superpowers called “NEXT” started appearing and some of them became superheroes. Each of the city’s most famous superheroes work for a sponsor company and their uniforms also contain advertising for real-life companies.
