Synopsis

The main character Ossan (old man) looks graceful on the outside, but is actually slovenly in his everyday life and a useless father. He works as a toilet designer. After divorcing his wife, he lives together with his daughter Min-chan who excels at both her studies and sports.

One day, whilst in the middle of adding up some tasks, he is sucked into a toilet and given the great task of having to save the Earth as a hero! The price of it though is that his good body and looks are changed into a pudgy, unattractive man when he transforms into a hero! The battle to both save the Earth and protect his daughter begins now…

Three Episode Impression

The anime gods have answered our prayers. To Be HERO is the underrated anime of the season, flying under many people’s radars. Do not miss it. The hilarious and stupid humor akin to One Punch Man is fantastic. The OP father who looks like a pudgy, middle-aged man, cannot say the right thing is hilarious. The poor guy just wants to be with his daughter but every time he tries to say the right thing, he cannot and she beats him senseless. While he may not be likeable right out of the starting gate, the father does grow on you. In a twist of what feels like poetic justice, he has become this way and has no clue of how to get back. The booger spirit bomb episode was hilarious, but the strangest character, and best so far, is the weird man that the father is living with. Wanting to constantly expose himself and running around in, basically, only a trench coat, he’s fantastic. Do not miss this show because you will regret it.
