Review of Kakushigoto

Each new season has its share of new anime, and among them, we often find a quiet comedy that makes us smile This spring, Kakushigoto is taking over this role! The series is composed of several scenes (count 2 or 3 per episode on average), and all revolve around the same subject: the relationships between the mangaka Kakushi Goto and his daughter, Hime The format of a sequence is quite often the same (the father is in a situation where his daughter can discover the truth about his profession, and he will do everything to prevent it) Story: 7/10 As I said just before, the series has a particular format,and this format follows a fairly recurring pattern
The different sequences are quite varied, focusing either on Kakushi or Hime (and of course the rest of the cast)
The anime is mostly comedy oriented, a comedy based on repetitive misunderstandings a bit like the ones we can see in most romantic comedies. Apart from this aspect, the anime also multiplies the explanations concerning the mangaka profession and how the whole job works. A good method to learn more about this medium that we rub shoulders with every day!
This format is quite repetitive and can be tiresome in the long run. However, each end of the episode is marked by a short scene taking place in the present, and of a much more serious nature than the rest of the series (it is also the only "narrative thread" really present in this anime)

Art: 9/10
Ajia-Do has done a very good job with this adaptation!
The animation itself is nothing special (and need not be, since it is a comedy and not a shonen nekketsu), but the artstyle is very clean and original. It gives an impression of freshness that suits the mangaka universe pretty well

Sound: 7/10
Not much to say about it since the music does its job properly
I did not find any interesting or particular OST, but its discretion fits well with the style of the anime
The VAs play their role well, even if it's disturbing to always hear the same voice of Kakushi as his VA is EVERYWHERE
The opening is also pretty great !

Character: 8/10
The relationship between the father and his daughter is touching and well done (thanks goodness, it is the central theme of the anime afterall)
The other characters, in particular Kakushi's team, are endearing and each has their own personality (I even appreciate Tomaruin!)

Enjoyment: 8/10
Clearly an anime that you watch to relax and clear your head (despite the often anxiety-provoking endings)
I had a good time and it's always nice to see a good anime on family relationships

Overall: 8/10
If you're looking for a simple comedy and some mofu mofu stuff, you can go watch Kakushigoto
Its format is a little too repetitive for my taste, that's why I advise to watch an episode from time to time so as not to overdose (the seasonal format suits it very well, I think I would have appreciated it less if I had binged watched the 12 episodes in one go)
