Kakushigoto Movie

Compilation movie of the TV series which includes new scenes that were not adapted in the television anime, and different perspectives.

Kakushi Gotou is a somewhat popular manga artist whose works are known for inappropriate content. Because of this raunchiness, when his daughter Hime was born, he vowed to keep his profession hidden from her, believing that she will be disillusioned if she finds out.

This paranoia-induced belief leads Kakushi into hectic situations. Despite being a single father, he does his best and often resorts to extreme ends just to protect his secret, such as guising as a salaryman every day or holding emergency drills in case Hime somehow finds her way to his workplace.

Kakushigoto tells the story of a father and daughter living side by side, maintaining their peaceful existence as the father attempts to preserve the status quo. However, there is a saying: "there are no secrets that time cannot reveal." In time, Hime must learn the reality behind the things she took for granted as she grew up.

First off, this is a summary movie. Watch the original series if you haven't already. There is some new content in the movie that wasn't in the original series. If you enjoyed the original series, you might get a bit bored since it is a recap. However, even though I watched the original series myself, I still found myself really enjoying the movie. It really reminded me of how much fun I had watching it at the time of airing.

Since the story and characters are the same for the most part, I don't think I really need to go that deeply into it. While the ... jokes can be seen as a bit awkward at times, I found myself jumping back into the story with this movie without really feeling like I ever left it in the first place.

The use of the soundtrack was great and made things feel really cohesive. The casting was great, and their performances were spectacular. It was a very enjoyable movie, and I really didn't mind that I watched a recap of a series I already watched.

While I do think that most summary anime movies would benefit by just giving us a short epilogue while skipping the filler, I didn't mind with this one because they presented it in a way that made a lot of sense. Flashing back through the memories also impacted the story more effectively than if they just left it as a mini epilogue. It was actually a really smart decision on their part.

With that being said, since it was technically still a recap, I wouldn't feel right giving it a score that was higher than what I gave the original series, so I decided to give it an 8/10 and see how I feel about it later.

Despite being cliche, this series was a lot of fun because it focused on a relationship that is scarcely touched in anime. Being able to see the intimate family relationship was an experience in itself that was incredibly heartwarming.

I'm sure many of you remember Kakushigoto from 2020. It was an underrated SOL anime with 12 episodes focusing on the funny and wholesome interactions between a father, a gag mangaka who draws dirty jokes and his daughter, who doesn't know what her dad does for work. This movie is just a compilation/summary/recap of that anime series so if you haven't watched that yet I highly recommend watching it first before watching this movie. As such I'll mostly be discussing about the compilation film itself instead of say, reviewing its story and characters.

The movie is almost 1 hour and 19 minutes long so it's ... shorter than what I had expected. But recap movies like these are usually short so it's probably better that way. Almost 95% of it is recap though so that might be disappointing to some people. If you don't remember the plot of the main series then it's better to just watch the whole thing. It doesn't include everything from the original anime/manga so some of your favorite moments from the anime series might be missing here. But I think this anime does a good job with its pacing by including most of the important plotpoints (the last half of the movie is mostly the last episodes intact). Good pacing isn't something you normally expect from summary movies so I thought that was great.

If I'm not wrong, the last episode of the anime came out before its source manga ended with its last chapter. So some vital info in the manga got cut in the original anime. Despite this the original mangaka Kumeta Kouji loved the anime adaptation of his work and even recommended it over reading his manga. I haven't personally read the manga yet, but I can confirm there's new content in this movie albeit very little. The overall ending of the anime series is still the same. Despite this I think this movie is still worth watching. But if you're stingy with your schedule then you may start watching from around 1:03:30 timestamp as that's where most of the new content starts. There's some new but short scenes with Hime Gotou (cv: Rie Takahashi) at the beginning of the movie though and some new narration by her I think but they're negligible.

This compilation film is in no way a replacement for the original anime. Rather it's supplementary to it.

Just watched the recently released Kakushigoto compilation movie. It somehow compressed the TV series into a roughly 80 mins long film. It showed almost all of the beginning and ending part, and skipped a lot of the middle part if I'm not wrong. The extra scenes were added to give vital information about Hime's mom and to stretch the ending a little bit. One of the main problems of the TV series was the rushed ending, but this movie tried to fix that. I would've liked the duration to be longer and more scenes from the TV series to be added, but I still liked ... it a lot and got emotional just like as when watching the TV version.

Recommended for those who liked the TV series. And no, it cannot be used as a substitute to that.
