A lighthearted comedy with a good story. By all means, give this anime a try! (tl;dr at the bottom) Starting off, one huge upside of this show that really gets the viewer is the story's foreshadowing, it really makes a big difference in Kakushigoto's story. Since the start of the first episode, it's introduced to us a different perspective from the normal daily life that Gotou and Hime have in most part of the series, and, of course, these foreshadowings will continue through the whole anime until the very last episode. Now, what's the biggest downside? (But don't get me wrong, that's the only one I can thinkof)
For what you might notice, the details around Kakushi Gotou and Hime's family leave nothing to be desired, and that's great, but sometimes that's not the case. To make it clearer, but also trying my best to keep any spoilers away, it's normal that some characters will have more screen time than others, meaning that you may find them in different scenarios and even taking different actions, possibily making them more charismatic towards the audience, but getting straight to the point, there's no excuse to why a side-character should always be used to the same reason, which is somewhat present in the show. Nevertheless, they're neither upsetting nor useless, but they don't really add much to the story or the comedy.

Bigger upsides and downsides aside, it's a overall pretty enjoyable show.
The art is different from the most commonly know anime, and yet very fitting for Kakushigoto. As for the music, both the opening and the ending are very good songs within the secrets/hidden things theme, where the OP is a j-pop/j-rock and the ED is a japanese song from 80s.

All in all, before you go watch it you should also notice that...
...as I said, it's a lighthearted comedy, in other words, most of the topics brought up will be covered in a more cute and light way than usual, such as being a single father and some other family related difficulties that Kakushi Gotou had or still have, as well as some topics including his work as a mangaka.

I hope you will enjoy watching Kakushigoto!

tl;dr
The foreshadowing is the biggest upside;
You might not care for a few of the side-characters;
It's a really fun comedy, but you won't run out of air while laughing;
If are worried about the cute artstyle, it fits the anime;
Just go and watch it! ^^
