A “Kakushigoto” Review
Kakushigoto can be splained like that: A mangaka that makes a living out of drawing and publishing a kinda perverted and dirty-minded manga tries to hide his actual job while still be the best possible dad for his young daughter
Plot:
The story revolves around the Mangaka and father Kakushi Goto, his daughter Hime, and their everyday lives. Kakushi, or “Gotou-sensei” as his employees call him, is a famous Mangaka of a Manga that is known for its more perverted and dirty plot. or at least that is what you hear all the time. Ashamed of what his daughter might think of him if she ever realized what type of job he has, he tries to keep that a secret from her. He succeeds every time anew but still tries every day to be the best father he can possibly be for his little girl, who, as he thinks, deserves just the best.
I actually fell in love with this series even if it isn’t that much of a plot filled anime. At first the totally dreamy look and the slice of life setting make it seem like a classic slice of life anime. BUT that is just a small part of the truth.
the first moment you start watching this anime they already show you that the story of this anime is partly told in a different perspective and time.
Somewhere in the future!
That immediately shows you that something happened but you don’t know what and why. and that is honestly not the only thing that catches my eye every time.
even the opening plays with details that are pretty important (I think) and even might reveal something that could be really important later but I don’t want to say too much and just show you one specific scene from the opening.
Perhaps you can see the symbolistic play with the details here that represent the characters, but even if not I’d like you to look at this picture for a while.
you slowly learn more and more about the Characters and about their Past. Especially the Dad' past and what fate he had. most interestingly is, in my opinion, that this Anime manages to be entertaining but still make it feel like you watched two episodes once in a while.
this Anime gets a
8/10
It is what it wants to be and it succeeds really good at delivering. The genre overall is not everyone's beer but I’d like you to give it a chance.
Hope you liked it.
And watch out that your secrets don’t DRAW to much attention.
