Review of Kakushigoto

My highest praise for Kakushigoto has to be in the animation and visuals. The "loose" animation style combines with it's distinct characters designs to create countless beautiful keyframes. Gotou and Ami are two examples of whenever they're on screen it really stands out how well they're drawn. Story wise - what stands out to me has to be its use of tones. Each episode -towards its conclusion- will u-turn into a much darker, cold-toned future. This future the story is hinting at should drag you down in thoughts and worries of what's to come, yet every time it has an ability to grab ya backand you get lost in the light, cozy, slice-of-life portions of the show. There's only one negative that stood out to me. This show is a Slice-of-Life, episodes focus on the characters and it's world, the driving story comes second. This only becomes a problem at the end of the show. They had too much to conclude and its ending ultimately felt rushed and monologue-y. Overall, pretty darn good, you should give it a try. This show will stand out in comparison to most seasonal anime.
