This was fcking hilarious!!! The premise itself was already interesting and characters were amazing as is and they still topped it up with a great lineup of seiyuu. When Araragi becomes Emilia's father with having Katou and Yotsuba as his assistants and Tanjirou as his editor.

Been ages since i heard flumpool in anime. Decent start, just hoping it doesn't become repetitive, really like the character designs.

You know whilst this might seem like a bit of a weird premise, it's worth remembering that this is something that many ecchi and hentai mangaka have to live through. Many of them have families and children after all. Having to explain something like that to them while they're still young must bring with it all kinds of complications


And you can't even change the genre and expect people to calm down. Once you get remembered as a dirty gag mangaka, it's gonna stick to you. It can seriously hurt your career.


Are you sure? There are Mangaka who started doing hentai manga first eg Boichi (Dr Stone).

I haven't watched anime for over a year. But now I decided to go back to it and this one marked my return to this world. It's only one episode but I liked it a lot. It was cute, a bit messy but mostly funny. There's something sad lingering but at this point, I don't want to think about it.
Kakushigoto might be just the thing I need during this particular period in life, so I'm looking forward to see more episodes. Especially next week's Obligatory Beach Episode! :D

Decent start but I'm not so sure about the pacing. A lot of events/skits happened in one single episode and as a result, they didn't leave much time for the jokes to settle properly.

Other than that, I like the characters and the balance between comedy and wholesomeness was handled in a satisfactory manner.

Cute so far, but I'm hoping it won't get stale by using the same overall joke again and again. At the beginning I was afraid this was going to be emotionally heavy, but it quickly turned into the light hearted show I was hoping it was going to be.

Hime is a little angel too.

The Mango's design looked familiar. Like it was used in SZS too?

I'll admit I initially overlooked this until I realized it was based on a Kouji Kumeta manga. Strong SZS vibes without being as frantic and fast-paced. First anime I'll be following as it airs in a long time.

This was really good. I thought the dude looks like Araragi and then when Kamiya's voice came out it killed me lol. Looks like it will be funny and cute show.
It also looked really good, too. Love the art direction.

I had to check again if this wasn't a drama / tragedy.
The first few minutes give off the impression that the father died at some point (the house where they used to live is completely run down) and that the daughter, upon turning 18, is now allowed to see his inheritance.

But gladly, judging from the tags, this doesn't seem to be the case.

It's been a while since I'd actually laughed out loud at anime. I almost died at the Starbucks joke considering I work at Starbucks and sometimes the orders of some regulars actually sound like spells.

Also can we talk about how gorgeous some of the backgrounds are? The animation and designs are great, and the characters are all interesting imo. Hime is so freaking cute!

Overall, I really liked this anime. I'll be sure to follow it. It feels wholesome, funny, and simple. I honestly hope it doesn't take a more emotional-heavy approach by the end.

The first episode took me off-guard, I wasn't expecting it'd be this funny. In fact, I thought it'd be more drama-oriented. The girls playing detective and the café scene were hilarious.

I wonder if the series will continue the path of comedy or it'll become more serious in the next episodes.

The humor isn't my cup of tea sadly, but I love the father-and-daughter bonding moments. Hope the story remains focused on the father's goals and her relationship with her daughter instead of arbitrary jokes.

This is adorable. I literally just stumbled across this and thought I'd give it a try but I'm glad I did - why has no-one mentioned it before? The animation/art style is really cute, pretty and creative. I love it. I'm getting major Usagi Drop vibes but more light-hearted. V. Cute.

Aight. I do have to say that I read the manga as well. I feel like the format of the manga doesn't quite work for the anime, but it's still enjoyable. Also ICHIKO BEST GIRL! <33
I think they gave this anime a nice tone so far. They just have to be careful with how they handle everything. As it is, this episode was actually kinda all over the place and the only reason I pieced it together was kinda more because of the manga. That's not exactly a good thing for the anime though since an anime should usually be able to hold its own and be relatively coherent without the manga.
Still, a decent first episode. It has some of that Kumeta charm.

The premise isn't as interesting as Zetsubou-sensei but I liked similar style of storytelling, the art is better than I expected, even though it's not Shaft. Kamiya Hiroshi is here too, looking forward to lots of memorable phrases with his voice.
Also, the ED is really awesome!

That starbucks joke sold me entirely on the this show's sense of humor alone, the heartwarming bit at the end just sold me on the rest of it.

Maybe I am a bit too late but do you guys catch the zetsubou sensei references in Hime friend's name? This references was so obvious I don't know if you have known already but I can't find anyone who talk about this online (in English of course).
This is what I mean :

1) Silvia Kobu
Silvia is pronounced シルビア = Shirubia in Japanese. Remove Shi from Shirubia will remain ルビア = Rubia. If you read it backward in Japanese will read アビル = abiru. So added the removed Shi from Shirubia to Kobu will read Kobushi. So it must be the references to Kobushi Abiru from Sayonara zetsubou sensei.

2) Toumi Hina
This one is simpler (ughh so normal).
Tou Mi Hi Na = Nami Hitou. I am too lazy to explain. I believe you I'll understand somehow.

3) Kitsuchi Riko
This one is the simplest and interesting. Kitsuchi Riko = kitsu chi Ri ko = kitsu chiri ko. The 'ko' in Japanese can mean child. So my theory is she is Kitsu chiri's child. She also share the same look with kitsu chiri from Sayonara zetsubou sensei.

That's all from me. Sorry for my bad grammar (not English because I think my English still understandable lol).

I thought this anime is not good that's why I am a bit hesitant to watch it at first, but turns out I am wrong. Kakushigoto is very entertaining to watch, a mixture of comedy and very heartwarming life story.

Great first episode, very wholesome. Found myself literally bursting out in laughter at some points. Hime is totally adorable and seems to be fairly smart as well. Kakushi is great as well, you can really tell he loves Hime a lot and just wants the best for her.

One thing I noted was that everyone looks extremely young even if they are adults. Hime in the first scene looks like 13 when she was 18 and multiple of the assistants at the manga studio also look like they are in their teens. I noticed this mostly when they were alone but when they were with other adults they didn't look out of place.

Overall loved the episode, definitely looking forward to watching more.

Interesting story, putting up a whole flashback as a whole story really something to get pretty well-building show i would like to watch. Kakushigoto bring me more of the unique premises and chill to my mind. These kind of show, somehow released my stress more over. Nice to me, and veru good at its first part to my standard.

So, this show mostly about the MC and her dad? Because something bad happen on him? That preview may be too much, but i feel some sad burden happen to the MC one. Interesting story. Lets see how the fun get impacted on my mind, and make me more enjoying all of the element. Especially the development between both of them, and to theirs environment. And the interactions on the whole episode were amazing too, and fun to watch. Well, this show had potential to be my masterpiece....
