| I enjoy this much more than Zetsubo Sensei. A solid 8/10 from me. |
| That ending definitely bumped this anime up a notch for me! Too bad we don't get to see the future of Goto finding out about his daughter's love for drawing manga. I also wouldn't have minded if the ending had at least implied a future romantic relationship for Goto-sensei (though it was a good choice to not have had that happen prior to his accident, since it would have distracted from Hime-Goto relationship beats.) |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| Goto remembering everything through his manuscripts was such a nice moment. And I knew the OP was coming, but I couldn't help but get a big smile. I love how supportive his assistants are. Even Rasuna puts aside her manga for Sensei's well being. It makes me so happy that she is doing so well, best girl deserves the best! And it's great that Goto's old assistants are now her assistants. EDIT: Wait, no. One of them said they hadn't worked together in a while, and the other one said he didn't think he'd ever hold a pen like that again, and we saw him working in a bookstore a couple of episodes ago. Even at the end, in Rasuna's office we see them working manually, while Rasuna and her actual assistants work in digital. So most likely not. Man, what a great episode and a great ending, I loved it! But, at the same time I feel that it lacked something or could have used one more episode to flesh it out more. All in all, it was satisfying and it saddens me that it's over. Such a great show, my favorite non-sequel anime of the season. |

| "How cliche can you be?! Amnesia?!" I was thinking of exactly how cliche it was during that time. Even in the most serious moment, Kakushigoto manages to lighten the mood with such jokes and I love it for that. All in all, a nice end for a great series. This might be my AOTS, depending on Nami yo Kiitekure's ending tomorrow. Now onto the manga! |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| wow, it's been a while since i was this thrilled to see the end-ending! For a moment i was even having doubts that the show would spit on us and end on a bad note; gladly everything turned out good, though amnesia part was too much in my opinion (funny how the show itself made fun of this); it got resolved too quickly as well. Overall, super glad it had a happy ending after all. So, in the end daddy stayed loyal to her (dead) wife and all those hungry women who were after him - got nothing :( Hime ended up continuing the father's legacy xD P.S So the ED was pretty much a spoiler; a car with Hime, her father and an already old dog, going forward all together. |
| This was the best episode of the whole series!! Even in the normal episodes, the [future] part was really interesting. Not that, the normal fun part was bad. In fact those parts setup for those amazing [future] scenes and this amazing finale. |

| I barely never do it, but for this one, I want to add my own stone to this monument of anime. [Kakushigoto] is truly a beautiful show. Those last 12 weeks my country (and the world) was struggling (and is still) with the pandemia, this anime really helped me a lot. It was one of those light I keeped aiming to each week. The themes (OP & ED) are really great and the soundtrack with "18yo Hime" beautiful. All the characters (especially the girls and women) are sublime and some episodes are utterly funny! For sure, I will miss it! I won't forget it and is a the top of my list for AOTS / AOTY. Also, that ending. Too much times we had disappointing endings. For once, it was a tearful and beautiful ending. |
| I'm not a big fan of mixing comedy and drama, but this anime did it very well, and this episode was a good proof of that. Very nice conclusion, it didn't felt that rushed and the final scene where Goto recovers his memories after seeing the drafts from his manga were incredibly heartwarming, a great way to end the anime. It was very kind of Hime's grandfather to pay Gotou's medical bills. Poor guy (Gotou), his family story is rather complicated, and what he had to suffer after the story behind his wife was revealed was very sad. Was nice seeing Rasuna as a succesful mangaka (with her previous co-workers as her assistants), she was best girl. Not exactly what I expected from Kumeta-sensei (considering his other works like SZS or Katte ni Kaizou), but I liked it a lot. One of the anime I liked the most this season by far. |
 |
| That was a great last episode. They did a great job of tying everything up. I really enjoyed this show and it's definitely AOTS for me (if you don't include sequels). I loved the art style and that's one of my favourite EDs ever. Plus, it was great to hear Hiroshi Kamiya shout "Hime!" at least once an episode. I will say that I don't think I would have enjoyed this anime anywhere near as much as I did if I hadn't spoiled myself. It goes into the rare category of anime that are better spoiled because it was too distressing thinking that he was dead the whole time. It would've meant I couldn't enjoy the cute slice of life comedy thinking about that reveal so I'm glad I spoilt myself. Overall, very good. 8/10. Also, this is officially my 200th anime completed :) |

| I agreed with what Tomaruin said, im gonna miss that guy but this was a very sweet and good ending of the anime :)) |
 plz @ me |
| And we're ending this with meta jokes, of course. :D |
 |
| Solid 10 from me. Would've been lower, but this episode paid everything off for me. If anything, this anime makes me sad how true-to-life it is. People don't think much about how they spout out their opinions, dislikes and words onto others and how that affects individuals, families and such. This show definitely expresses that, even if it wasn't the focus. |
     |
| Quite of disappointing ending. Imo it ruined the balance between comedy, slice of life and drama the whole show previously established. Don't get me wrong, a good ending fits way better but I feel like that the show did not accept responsibility and renounced to a dramatic or bittersweet ending at the last moment. Why would you even try to do foreshadowing at such extant and then use such a silly final plot? (+ it was way too rushed) 6.5/10 rounded down to 6/10 Rest of the show was pretty good, with the Goto-Hime and Goto-Tomaruin being the best dynamics for obviously different reasons. The pseudo harem's comedy was rather weak though. |
| What a fantastic ending for this wholesome show |
 |
| More amnesia? *Flashbacks to a certain manga that just recently ended intensifies.* At least the amnesia wasn't permanent though, thank goodness for Hime and her decision to spark Goto's memory with the finished manuscripts. All in all, a great, touching, and emotional conclusion and I loved seeing everything come together in the end. The only complaint I have is how random the half-brother thing felt, but whatever. Still a fun show and I'll miss it. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| TBH, the first half of the reveal was a little bit disappointing, because the new kid didn't really add anything, but then again, the thing with reveal endings to big mysteries is that they're always at least a little disappointing. It's just a side effect of the viewer's imagination not being met. Apart from that, I'm glad I got to see it. This is the best show of the season by far, possibly of the year. I can't see anything from the upcoming season matching it, but there is still Fall. Anyway, lovely little show. Would watch again. |
| Wew, so that's what happened to Goto-sensei after all. Damn that Jump reader. Hime also inherited his grandfather's art skills. But she has also a secret: an aspiring manga artist as well except without the dirty jokes of course. Although that was cliche (as even explicitly stated by Tomaruin), I still liked it. I'll be missing this anime, I'll try to read the manga ending if i can. 8/10 |
 |
| Very emotional and enjoyable series, all in one! I like how the series kept giving us small hints through the end of each episode and still continued to start every new episode with what mess is Gotou-san in currently. It had lots of fun and heart-warming moments. I think the ending was perfect for this series by showing how we all have that one secret. "What's your secret?" 10/10 |
| Really lovely anime as whole. Loved the comedy and it mixed well with the serious moments but I especially loved the wholesome aspects that they sprinkled about. The finale was really well done, IMO. Reconnecting to the present because of his manga was the right way to do it. His reaction to finally remembering Hime was perfect. Hime's secret is also perfectly fitting lol. Talent on her mother's side, but using it to draw manga like her father lol. Looked like a shoujo manga XD. I'd love to read that. I also loved all the assistants. One thing the Gotou family definitely had a lot of was people that loved them. They're very lucky for that. Kinda sad that Sensei didnt end up getting remarried but I guess he doesn't need to since all that really matters to him is Hime. THAT SAID, wtf happened to the reporter or whatever? Felt like that just kinda disappeared midway through the episode. I was hoping we'd find out more about Hime's mother as well Anyway, easily my favorite of the anime that are ending this cour. |
 |
| Does anyone know how much of the manga is left? |
| This anime was amazing, I really loved it. The twisted emotions I had throughout the anime. At the beginning it was wholesome, cute and funny and at the end, the feels started to hit. I'm glad I decided to watch this anime. |

| A pleasant ending a bit rushed imo but lots of fun. I didn't tear up but I did feel a sense of relief. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| YYEESS GOTOU SENSEI ALIVED! Fuck Tomaruin, lol, really. He never fail to ruin everything. Even in the sad part he never fail his hilarious moment. Lmao! So thats it, then, all the fairy tales about usual sensei secreting his whole career as a perverted author of manga. So glad its ended in the happiest scenes i've ever seen. Hime acknowledged his secret work, and ofc Gotou become a usual funny person! Damn! Actually, this is truly amazing. The whole back to back story from the start until the previous episode really something new for my watching list. The whole new informationabout the secret life. The whole new information about the hard life as a perverted author of manga, and his way of work to become like that, really amusing. Seriously, Gotou really served as a hilarious man of character i've ever watch in the show. His act feels so natural, and his joke was pure gold. I was never fail to smile or laugh for his amusing expression or acting. Even after his wake up, he still keep the same funny moment. Yeah, thats Gotou sensei i know. And ofc his new brand manga will become popular in the near future, and he do not need the whole Kakushigoto like before. Thats some nice shit i've ever seen! Hime cuteness, even on her teen, she never failed to amaze me. And all the happiness that bloomed in the end, shit, i am crying in the joy! Ah, her moment with her dad. Ofc, usual Gotou reaction was indeed hilarious and never fails to satisfied me. Yeah, their relations become more close, even after long comatose. Its a miracle. Its ... the fate! Kakushigoto... Kakushi... gotou? Hilarious words. Lmao! Even the last question Hime ask to the audience feel a deep meaning if you can translate it. The secret, deserved more meaning. And become a way to make the relations closer than before. Thats nice. Thats a masterpiece. Its really deserved on my 10 list. Thats it. No doubt for it. No other argumentation. No hesitations. It served well and executed with a fuckin nice way, and so incredible. No other shit about art and soundtrack because all of them were perfect and so incredible. Again. 10/10 |

| a little bit of a rushed ending but still a very good one overall. 9/10 |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| What an absolute gem of an anime. I went into this anime not thinking it would amount to much, but man, I loved everything. Being the love child of Eizouken and Somali from last season, the humor was golden, the story had heart, and the characters all bounced wonderfully off of one another in regards to their chemistry. It all came full circle and rewarded the viewer in as little as twelve episodes by showing it all come together at the end. Goto and Hime's father and daughter relationship of course being the highlight and backbone of it all. There wasn't a moment those two had you smiling. Who wouldn't strive for a bond just like that? With an artstyle that really grows on you, and a soundtrack that only brings emphasis to the feels. This and Kaguya made this season for sure. This is so much better than Tower of God. There I said it. 9/10 |
 |
| So we get a happy ending after all. So that was nice and all but... Hime looks literally the exact same as she did when she was younger. It is unfathomable that seeing her wouldn't confuse him at least at first. Additionally the plan of "hey let's not tell him cause he needs to remember on his own." Bruh the literal second he leaves the hospital he'll realize things are the same as they used to be and will have figured out shortly after that his memory was fucked and no one decided to tell him... Really funny meta joke at the end btw. |
| I'm glad they didn't go super melodramatic with it, but they could've dwelled on the sad bits a bit more. The pace was fast, but it was a pretty good conclusion. |
| this was such a heartfelt ending and the scene of hime running was just absolutly perfect, it was a bit cheesy but hey who gives a shit its in character honestly and the ending while predictable was still so heartwarming. Goto despite being a goofball really does feel like one of the best dads in anime, everything he did for Hime feels so genuine and the way the series hid just how much stuff was eating him up this whole time with his wife and family situation was a pretty genius way of taking a more serious route to show how much he hid from Hime just to give her a good life, he didnt want her to worry about any of that or him no matter how rough everything was. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I really liked the series, very funny, I liked the characters and I looked forward to it every week. I honestly believed that the end would be full emotional, but I liked it anyway. 9/10 ;D |
My Candies:      My bonus Candies:  |
| 7/10 Overall I enjoyed a lot this series, but technically speaking the pacing of this episode was too fast, causing the infodump of Goto's lineage that I only understood thanks to a comment on this thread, so thank you dude, wherever you are. They could have made one more episode and it would have been perfect. I love how the amnesia device was purposely a clichè and even characters themselves know it. Oh btw, i cried, i cried a fuck ton. |
 |
| That was the best possible ending for this series, but I do want more of the present story but that ain't gonna happen. Overall really liked this show so wholesome and funny. Kakushi Gotou best father and Kakushi Hime best daughter. |
 |
| The final episode alone is enough to recommend this series. Though I'm not fan of the comedic aspect of this anime, the secret part is really well written. This anime is so good. |
| I was choking up when Goto-san was reading the manuscripts, and then out of nowhere he just starts screaming and I burst out laughing. I really think that's a good example of how the feel of this anime is. 9/10. |
 |
| It's over, so glad that i had the opportunity to watch this. The OP/ED feel like they've been made 200% for this anime, absolutely loved them. So...it was Gotou's wife that disappeared in a crash and all that time he was looking for her, i am glad that he recovered but i had a small hope that maybe she was alive but i guess that would be a way too much to ask xD And wtf, he went to coma after being buried by the manga, at least he's alive....so i better not complain xD At 18 Hime finally found that her father was hiding from her that he is a manga writer, and now guess who's turn to do the same hahaha what a plot twist! Tbh i would love to see a sequel where she is hiding that from him! 10/10 would watch The whole thing of him not remembering his own daughter was hard to see, especially from Hime's side... And that cliche recovery haha His whole team went back to helping him recover, hope he got them working again for him. So Hime now does amazing paintings and draws manga, oh boy! What an ending! I do have to agree that the ending felt a little rushed, maybe it would have been better if they made it into an OVA, nonetheless it was a great ending! So glad i watched it and honestly would be great to have an OVA in the future! It was an amazing story, and i am so glad that we had this ending! 9/10  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I just finished crying and can't believe it's over, I'm gonna miss this anime |
 |
| "The thing that makes me the happiest...Nothing would make me happier than Hime growing up big and healthy." Damn, even with the last episode, they had to play with my emotions!! This was really nice, I knew Goto had to be alive! So he quit his job because of backlash from his fans after they learned about his family situation, they moved and he took on odd jobs, but they made ends meet and Hime went to middle school. But then a year prior to this episode he got in that accident and ended up in a coma. Imashigata sensei is most likely Hime's grandfather — I wish his character had more screentime, I expected Hime to live with him but I guess she lived by herself for a year. The amnesia part was also unexpected. My one contention is I wish they addressed more on what happened to the mother. Goto ended up searching all these years, I wonder if he found any information. Hime also becoming a mangaka was a nice touch! All in all, really enjoyable! Happy ending indeed. |
| Well, this was rushed. I'm sad that they cut of good anime just for the bad to launch :|... I was considering lowering my score because of how rushed the ending was but... |
| Sorry but what's with this lame melodrama all of a sudden? Secret love child, half-cousins drama, falling into coma by a pile of WSJs, memory loss... what? Sadly, it was a really underwhelming final episode with most of its events feeling extremely forced. No idea why including the artistic lineage stuff since it served no purpose to the story later on and all the extra info about Hime having a half-cousin as well as Kakushi being the love child of a mistress couldn't have been more random. The amnesia part was also awfully cliche and no matter how aware one of the character was of it, it's still a pretty lame narrative element. Overall, I have been quite indifferent towards this series since the beginning. Wasn't expecting the comedy to be this prevalent in the show (was expecting something more subtle, honestly) and since most of the jokes were misses in my case, this aspect didn't end up being that enjoyable. And regarding the mystery surrounding Kakushi's present situation, I think it was unnecessarily stretched out and the hints of drama at the end of almost every episode were poorly handled since they made me lose interest rather quickly due to how ambiguous they were. Personally, replacing two or three comedy gags, especially the ones were Tomaruin's exasperating character was involved, for more exposition during the episodes would have been a better way to go but that's just me. 4/10 - On a good note, all the father-daughter moments between Kakushi and Hime were as heartwarming as I expected and the general aesthetic of the show was really pleasant to the eyes. Both OP and ED were also great and are between my favorites of the season. |
