Review of Kakushigoto
"Dad. I turned eighteen." Kakushigoto is such a wholesome series revolving around Goto-sensei and Hime-san, a father-daughter comedy series where Goto hides his job as an erotic manga author from 10 year old daughter Hime in order to avoid being an embarrassment of a parent to her and everyone around her as she grows up. Story: 8/10. Kakushigoto does well to generate light hearted comedy among a casual slice of life environment. Using Goto and Manga as an artisic medium to connect the characters and story isn't unique but when combined with sheltering the 'secret' from an unsuspecting daughter - It becomes a ticking timebomb. (in an intense positive sense) As it was releasing, I dropped in to watch but now that it has finally ended and on an amazing note I can safely say it was a nice watch.
Art & Sound: 7/10 & 9/10.
The art style and color schemes are synonymous to watercolor and have a hand-drawn feel to it which is a perfect decision for the topic of the series and its stakeholders. The pastel color tones produce a dreamy atmosphere which is atypical to general anime series but it is one of the many appealing characteristics that makes this series such an amazing series.
This is one of the better series that coordinate its soundtracks to provoke emotional connections, the ending scene where Goto finally recognizes Hime had the series OST "Chiisana Hibi - Flumpool" cut in after Hime gives her dialogue. Very emotional stuff...
Character: 7/10.
Character development was more-or-less the least emphasized which makes sense because kakushigoto is skit-by-skit based which includes the main events instead of filler content. This meant character personalities were deliberately developed and shaped as the story progressed. Overall, impressed with the climax character development - it was a surprise to have a bit of drama in the final episode and it occurring in the future. Very Appealing.
Enjoyment: 7/10.
Not much 'action' but compromised with hilarious comedy from characters bashing the prestigious 'editor' who nearly jeopardized the secret several times throughout the series.
