Very special type of humor. Every episode is arround 10 minutes each. The story is an art of itself. Specially once you find out everything at the end. Some jokes are even funnier for veteran anime watchers. For example: if you know Dragonball, some scene will be even funnier. Art style is also very good in this CGI century. Not a masterpiece but total recomendation from my side if you like this type of humor. It hit me on the very first episode and made me laugh a lot. Gag Anime with 100% toilet humor. The last episode is answering many questions but loses its origins by beeing a comedy but thats fine though. If you like short anime with dry humor, just watch the first 2 episodes.

How can this anime have anything less than a **straight 10** for score?
Easy.. it's a little perverted. But otherwise easily worth then 10s. Great animation, good characters, crazy good pace, and great mix of emotion and fun. Go watch!.
The whole show is about two hours of fast-paced stuff happening, introducing characters one after another, and slowly developing the ones that are already introduced, eventually uncovering their actual characters without being cheap or boring -- excellent direction, clearly done by pros.
Also, did I mention Gintoki's voice actor voives a characters here? Oh, yeah, he doesn't let down! Neither do the other voice actors -- The whole audio (incl. Voice and Music) in this anime is plain fantastic. OP, ED, inb4.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy two hours of **…

"But as long as you're alive, anything can happen, right? That's what makes it fun, right?" -Ossan
This really is a bit of genius stuck into a gag anime and it does that well. Some parts made me laugh for sure but it was not the humor that kept me watching. The plot is goofy and all over the place and is reminiscent of a gags I have seen in one punch man and etc. Everyone will not like this but it deserves a chance at the very least and with episodes being under 12 minutes 3 episodes then gauging your thoughts is a must.
The animation at times is so good i would not this was a gag anime. The character design and everything also blends together and works well all of the time. Modern anime cannot even measure up to the ridiculous effort that is adde dto the art, sound, and animation in eve…

To Be Hero isn't the best anime ever. It's not the best comedy nor is it the best action or drama. What it is, is a surprisingly charming collection of crude humour and low-brow poop jokes with an unexpectedly touching, if perhaps shallow given it's short episodes and mostly being dedicated to gags, underlying plot. It's definitely not the best anime, but it's not exactly trying to be. It's trying to be a silly little comedy that you can just enjoy on a base level and it succeeds at that. Is rating a kinda dumb poop-joke anime a 9/10 maybe a bit much? Sure, but I enjoyed every second of it and even enjoyed a rewatch after a few years of my initial viewing.

This is a great anime. although the humor is jarring at times and may not be for everyone the humor is NOT the only aspect of this anime.
Unfortunately the reason this anime is so hard to recommend is because it has some of the fastest speaking/subtitles in any anime. it is very hard to stay on the same page as the anime, and even if you do manage to read every line it is pretty difficult to read between the lines, especially when the lines are already hidden behind a wall of constant humor.
This anime is recommended Mostly to a more mature audience, not because it has some very strange partial nudity or sexual-themes, but because its story is made for a more mature minded audience. understanding what is happening is one thing; understanding why is another, and it definitely deserves a…

To be Hero.
You know when you just want to chill, you just return from work or your school or whatever it is of life's demanding duties and you just can't get yourself into watching something serious or couldn't be arsed about that weekly shounen anime episode you were waiting for? Then To be Hero is for you. Why? Cause it's great next to a juicy drink you're drinking to relax, or when you're eating pieces of watermelon, or when you let your imagination go wild when you're, mind you, pooping at the bathroom. I don't know about you, but I've always had my mind make up some stories since I was a kid during my pooping period, might sound like something bad to relate a short anime with, but (minor episode 1 spoiler)this is what happens to our Hero, a professional bathroom/bathroom seat make…

Well, this anime is kind of special. However, I just can't possibly rate it higher than 6 overall and 7 for enjoyment.
It's just a gag anime, a lot of toilet humour and weird jokes. That was what I was watching this for. However, at the end they felt the need to ruin it all and suddenly make the last few episodes somewhat serious and extremely boring. What are they even trying to pull? No, we don't need a weird background story or anything else that'd make us "sympathize" with the characters or whatever. A gag anime/manga/novel needs to STAY like that to the end. Only someone retarded would say "hey, let's suddenly make things pseudo-serious and completely change the setting/mood for the last few episodes! What do you mean they liked it for the gags? Naaaah, surely they want what they di…

You know, MAL needs a negative scoring for so bad its almost worth watching because of how shitty it is, if only there was a pay off at the end
its a pretty crappy gag anime, i was hoping for the story to be a little better but the final act twist is solidly eh, toilet humor never gets any better after the second ep
the art only hits watchable around 10% of the time, otherwise its just a bunch of offensive flesh in the same 2 settings
honestly this anime was a waste of a good title, at least it thematically stays pretty consistent
if you watch it don't get invested, it doesn't pay off at all

The Holy Grail and the missing treasure of Anime 2016(though it's originally a chinese cartoon). This series need more attention and of all the super-hero themed anime I watched in my life To Be Hero is among One Punch Man and Boku No Hero Academia. Can't wait for the 2nd season.
An absolutely funny anime that can be compared to Gintama(dirty jokes and funny inappropriate moments and other media reference like Super Mario) in fact Gintoki's voice is here too with his iconic funny quotes.
This anime has literally anything from a stomach-aching commedy skits, surprising plot twist and sad moments.

Another underrated anime here! This season (Summer 2017) is full-packed with great and most awaited anime of the year and because of that, To Be Hero is not really become the attention of otakus this year. All I want to tell is, this anime is full of potential, to be honest, it reminds me of Gintama, their style of gags... quality gags are very similar from each other plus of one character of this anime is voiced by Gintoki's(Gintama). Back to "To Be Hero", as i said earlier that this anime contains good gags - the "kimoi" ones, maybe some people doesn't like this animu because of it's vulgar and dirty gags, but i still recommend this to those people who aren't too sensitivity about those things
This anime shows a great sense of realism in some ways, MC life is one big example of it, they…

I feel that this is one of those animes that only a few people will remember. This isn't an anime any regular anime watcher would really be into in my opinion. But I'm one of the few it clicked with and greatly enjoyed. It's the story of a father and his daughter with a lot of funny crazy moments. The ending even made me tear up a bit, and it's really hard for me to do that for any anime. Another great thing about the show is its animation and art style. I had just finished watching Mob Psycho 100 wondering if there were any other shows out atm with such great animation like Mob. I just scrolled through Crunchyroll and found this show.

To Be Hero is a very interesting anime. A lot of people will be turned off from this show because of the flavor of the humor, the extremely weird/out there plot/premise, and the unattractiveness of many of the character designs. I truly believe there's something special here though.
Even though this show is a comedy, and I would agree comedy is the best genre to put it in, the comedy is not the reason I think so highly of this show and the comedy is not the reason I would recommend this show. You will know pretty quickly if the humor in this show is for you or not, however it's hard to nail down what's good about the humor because the reasons I'm sure some people dislike the humor are the same reasons some people like the humor.
The art, sound, and animation in this show are all great,…

Hey folks, this will be a review for To Be Hero. This show was a ton of fun to watch. From what I watched and from what I read, this show is one of those easily misunderstood shows. People quick to judge or brush off certain types of comedy or art will drop it quickly and deploy a cunning, yet inaccurate written assault to hopefully dissuade you from watching it. I on the other hand bid you to give it a chance.
The story is a bit two fold. The first and more obvious story is Ossan becoming the superhero. A once handsome man who uses toilet knowledge to hit on countless women happens to fall into the toilet. This takes him to a mario esque person who bestows upon him the title of hero and sends him back to our world as a fat man. From here he must protect our world and his daughter from a…

This is my first time writing a review and to be honest i enjoyed this anime it was really funny and the characters were really funny even if they had like 1 minute of screen time.However the ending to this anime was quite confusing (spoiler incoming) like when they said it was actually a other universe or something i was really confused but overall i really enjoyed this anime and looked forward to every next episode with full hype. I also think they should have added a little more episodes like 3 or 2 more but it did end with a fantastic but confusing ending and i loved it.

*** General Points ***
At 11 minutes an episode for 12 episodes, this show ends up being roughly the length of a movie.
From the audacious (and perverse) characters and sometimes immature humor it isn't a show for everyone, but if by episode 4 you haven't been repulsed, then you will most likely continue to enjoy the show.
By far, the greatest part about this show is the ending theme song, which is infinitely catchy. I would recommend spending the 1 minute of life on youtubing it. Even if you have no intention of watching the show it would be a pity to pass up that catchy tune.
*** Story ***
I found that the story was, in many places, metaphorical after you strip away the ridiculousness. For example, everyone has read in the synopsis that the main character is a toilet seat designer.…
