Tiger Mask W English Sub & Dub

About Tiger Mask W

Here is what Tiger Mask W (タイガーマスクW) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and sports anime by Toei Animation (2016). At its core: In "The Tiger's Hole," the behind-the-scenes organization of the revived wresting world, two young wrestlers take a stand. One of those fighters has inherited the training facility and mask of a tiger that Naoto Itou left at the foot of Mount Fuji.

From there, the other fighter has been victorious at fierce competitions since entering The Tiger's Hole, and has obtained the black Tiger Mask. A Tiger Mask that walks down the path of light, and a Tiger Mask that walks down the path of shadow. Neither of them have ever seen each other's face...

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kentarou Takaoka (Ryouichi Tanaka) and Kazuchika Okada (Masakazu Morita) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 38 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Toei Animation is the studio behind Tiger Mask W, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Ryouichi Tanaka as Kentarou Takaoka, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2016, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
