The official website for Haoliner Animation League's To Be HERO has been launched, and announced that it will begin its broadcast on on October 5, via Tokyo MX at 6:30 p.m., after the broadcast of the previously announced Cheating Craft. It is an original gag anime that supervised by Shinichi Watanabe. The episodes will have a run-time of nine minutes.

Synopsis
Our main character, Ossan, is a no-good father with messy appearance even though he looks nice, and decorates restrooms. He is a divorced, single-dad and lives with his daughter Min-chan, who is good at both studying and sport. One day, Ossan has been sucked into the toilet that he finished using, and becomes a hero to save the Earth! The price for his power is that he has lost his ikemen appearance and becomes a fat person!! Ossan’s battle to protect the Earth and Min-chan has begun…

Ossan: Kenjirou Tsuda (K)
Min: Moa Tsukino (From Kamen Joshi)

seems like you havent read this synopsis yet.

"Twintails: the glory of all mankind—or at least that is what first-year high school student Souji Mitsuka believes. At school, Souji spends most of his time daydreaming and rating girls' twintails, even going as far as creating a club dedicated to the hairstyle. His obsession does not go unnoticed, however; when monsters from outer space attack Earth and claim the world's twintails for themselves, a strange woman named Twoearle enlists Souji to fight back using twintails of his own!"

from what I gather the pv only shows madhouse name for parody purposes, they aren't actually doing this (madhouse website doesn't have this on their work profile either) :P I hope they had permission, lest I miss out on this masterpiece on copyright issues :D
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY.

Yes, Haoliners has made and released the 1st episode about 1 year ago, and I though they had dropped this anime.
