    Secret

    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.

    Love it!

    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.

    Weird plot but a great wholesome comedy anime

    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.

    Honestly emotional and hilarious anime man Im going to miss looking forward to new episodes every Thursday!!!! ...

    Awww man folks....we have been really treated spoilt to another father-daughter anime this year. The relationship between Goto and Hime was absolutely precious like the pair of them just melt your heart into pieces!

    This anime and Somali & the Spirit Forest have been definitely giving me lots of onions in terms of what goes on behind the scenes of Goto's secret in attempting to hide his job from his daughter. It even gives us a sense of reality to what an mangaka does for a living. The lighthearted comedy makes you laugh but at the same time, there's always confusing depressing scenes to the future at the end of each episode. As a viewer, you really wouldn't have a clue on what's going on with Goto and Hime.

    I'm not gonna bother telling you lot to what happened because this anime is so so worth everyone's time whether they hate slice of life stuff or not.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this anime, it was emotional, funny and just heartwarming. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to cry in the corner because of the ending.😭
