Kakushigoto

It was a very bland show. Just barely watchable at most times. The jokes were always stale to the point of being bad. They relied too much on the shows premise in a bad way, it really isn't that interesting how everything unfolds.

The show feels like a bad rip-off of sayounara zetsubou sensei, especially the main character, just with a more positive vibe, which didn't work out at all for it. There were times I wanted to give it an average rating (5) but then they remind me why I choose not to right after.

The characters were average at best, most times it felt ... like a group consciousness thing, instead of them being individual characters. The main, his editor, and the kid are probably the most eccentric and interesting to watch due to the situations it provides. However, even they are not great. The main just constantly overexaggerates on his anxiety which I found didn't connect into proper comedy scenes usually. Just ridiculous delusions. Meanwhile, the girl is only there to provide cute interactions and emotional investment, oh and for the main joke, which isn't funny, not just because it doesn't really matter, but with the way they handle it. The editor is probably the best when he's not being too complacent or mixed in the fray of the group consciousness.

The ending I found to be a very forced situation, the fact he couldn't recognize her after what, a few years? Didn't even see the similarities? Must've loved her so much... This whole situation put the score down to 3 and like they said in the episode, "it's a cliché that wouldn't work even in a manga" (unless done well) which was not the case here. The fact they referenced it like that felt like they were trying to just push off any seriousness of the situation to make it acceptable. I would not recommend this show. Unless, your here just for the relationship between father and daughter, there should be some enjoyment there if you can put up with the rest of the elements.
