I can now imagine a different sponsor in that object...
Sunrise producer and Tiger & Bunny co-creator, Masayuki Ozaki revealed on the Tiger & Bunny panel hosted by Anime News Network's CEO and Publisher Christopher Macdonald at Otakon 2011 that Namco Bandai Games is currently developing a video game based on the popular anime series!
And I quote:
Other things that were revealed in the panel includes that the producer wants to have a live-action version of the show which caused to crowd to erupt for excitement. "Sunrise alone can't make a live action version. We need your support to get Hollywood to license it." Ozaki said, before proceeding with the Question and Answer portion of the panel. He later revealed on the Q & A portion that he has actors and actresses on his mind regarding the live-action but he will not say it!
Other things that were discussed in the panel include the popularity with some characters as well as the popularity of the show outside its target market, the producer wanting to have a second season, the chemistry between Kotetsu and Barnaby, how they conceptualized the series and most especially how they got the sponsors for each Hero and maintaining the proper relationship with the said sponsors. Speaking of sponsors, it was also mentioned at the panel that once the series will be localized, they want to have global sponsors. Google sponsoring Origami Cyclone, anyone?
