About TO BE HERO

TO BE HERO blends comedy by Haoliners Animation League (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: For Uncle, a lecherous but handsome toilet designer, it is just an average day of neglecting his duties as a single parent to hit on women and talk about his "superpower": his ability to tell a lady's hip size at a glance. But when he is sucked down into a toilet, the Space Peace Republic Alliance Hero Committee gives him real superpowers, and he grows into the hero of Earth.

Along the way, there is only one problem–-he has become an ugly, unrecognizable fatty who is unable to reveal his real identity. Uncle's beloved daughter Min-chan does not believe that such a vulgar fatty could be her father, and casts him out of his own home. Distraught and homeless, he joins up with his perverted neighbor Yamada-san, a small man with a fondness for streaking, and sets out to convince Min-chan that he is her father.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series.
