Kakushigoto

A funny and lighthearted anime to watch (I haven't read the manga). I love how at the end of each episode, the scene shifts from past to present life, slowly revealing what is occurring at the current time. This anime also tells me a lot about days in the life of a manga artist. The comedy is great and I laughed many times.

A sweet, innocent and funny story about a unique father-daughter relationship. This is a heartwarming story with a creative story-telling structure. It does a great job at maintaining it's comedy while also setting itself up for an emotional ending.

The title 'Kakushigoto' means secrets, and 'Kakushi Gotou' is the father's name, which can be translated as a drawing job. Gotou hides some secrets from his daughter, Hime, to avoid embarrassment. However, his secrets are more than just a vulgar mangaka. The show highlights Gotou's silly yet effective attempts to hide his secrets, resembling an overly-cautious dad trying to raise his oblivious daughter. His voice actor, Hiroshi, can switch between a playful and serious tone, matching his character build. Hime, voiced by Emilia from ReZero and Megumin from Konosuba, has a childish and innocent type of kindness. The duo is a great pick for this show.

The anime name being Kakushigoto, which could either mean a secret, the name of a main character - Kakushi Gotou(Gotou sensei) or the work of drawing. I feel like congratulating the mangaka for this subtle work of art. You don't always need a fictional world with a big storyline spiced up by some breathtaking action scenes to create a great anime. As the title suggests, the main character, 'Kakushi Gotou' is creating an ecchi 'manga' for a living and he tries all possible way to keep it as a 'secret' from his daughter as she is still a child. Each episode is full of humor but reveals some or the other important things about Gotou sensei towards the end as it flashforwards to 10 years for a while. As we know more and more about Gotou sensei, we realised that the secret of the current him is not just the manga thing but ultimately he had been through a lot in his both professional and the personal life. The mangaka always presented Kakushi as a jolly and the humorous guy.

If you are a fan of comedy shows, this one is totally for you.

Have u guys watched usagi drop? If u have this show deals with similar problems of parenting a child but this is more on the funny side as opposed to usagi drop I would have rated this 7/10 but after seeing the last 2 episodes I think this deserves 8 it's emotional it's funny it's wholesome it's heartwarming u won't regret watching this
