A divorced guy who designs toilet seats gets sucked into one and turns into a hideous superhero. The joke is that he stays hideous. The comedy is crude, the animation is sharp enough to make vulgar gags land harder, and the show knows exactly what it is doing with every joke, it's built for people who think conventional good looks and conventional comedy are equally boring. If your sense of humor survived Gintama, this one's waiting for you. The ending theme alone is worth the twelve minutes.
A handsome but careless divorced father earns his living designing toilet seats and shares his home with his teenage daughter, Min-chan. One ordinary day a toilet pulls him down, and a space hero committee grants him real superpowers along with the job of defending Earth. The price is steep: he turns into an ugly, chubby stranger who cannot reveal who he really is. Min-chan refuses to believe this crude figure is her father and throws him out of the house. Homeless, he teams up with Yamada-san, a tiny neighbor fond of streaking, and battles bizarre alien enemies while trying to win back his daughter. Expect crude innuendo and slapstick comedy throughout.
