*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.
Swabs:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks more red than orange.
Writing samples:
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)
Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)
Dry time: 20 seconds
Water resistance: High
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.
On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and a few dots of bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Orange Bunny is similar to Colorverse Electron and Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki. Click here to see the orange inks together.
Longer Writing:
I used a TWSBI Eco Orange with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly wet flow.
Overall, I really enjoyed this ink. I love the slightly wet flow and the high water resistance.
