Relatively intelligently written slapstick/absurdist/potty humor. These sorts of shows don't always fly very well with me, but this one does all right. It really has a sense of maturity in it behind all the messy antics. The core story sticks pretty well to the theme of the father/daughter relationship and the exploration of the father's character. And the take-home message is nothing new. But it is at least entertaining, and with only 12 half-length episodes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. Recommended for fans of absurd comedy, maybe more along the Gintama (rapid-text potty humor) or FLCL (trans-dimensional absurdity) varieties.

Best to start watching this series with zero expectations. It defies categorization, and is neither linear nor literal. It is certainly not for everyone.
The last episode is essential to pulling everything together.
The character design, animation, and events feel as though they were employed to gradually instill a feeling in the viewer, in a cumulative, painterly manner. Watch this series lightly, with your subconscious.
The scatological and transgender humor detracts, but may have been included to balance the deep emotions at the series’s core. I could not eat while watching the episodes.
I suspect that the creators used the 1939 MGM classic, The Wizard of Oz, as a departure point. So if, like me, you are a suckah for dat film, you also might like To Be Hero.
Before I knew it, I was looking forward to each episode. The series is warm, deeply-felt, and imaginative. It hit the spot on so many levels.

16, female, adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., brown hairThe character has brown hair., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair.
