This show is just a wholesome SoL. There's no need to see something that isn't here. And there are doujinshis about kids anime like Pretty Cure and other stuff like that out there, are you telling those too are pedobait or something? Then every manga and anime with underage girls in it is pedobait I guess...

thought this would be a lot more serious than it is, pleasantly surprised at how many times it made me genuinely laugh.

i also found it super cool that they used a pretty popular japanese song from 1981 as the ED. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH9yLGoIxBw

I knew I was going to like this the moment i saw whoe the author was, i ABSOLUTELY LOVE his style of comedy xD

Kamiya is perfect for this and all the throwbacks I got to Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei made everything even better~

So far this was great, i have high expectations i just hope they keep going like this.

"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

As a huge Kumeta Kouji fan, I was expecting something good, and I'm not dissapointed.
The OP and ED were a great surprise.

Made me want to rewatch all four seasons of Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei all over again.

Poly Cure seane reference:
"you are mangaka, aren't you? please draw Sailor Moon"
a little girl said to Kumeta in his friend's wedding when he was young.
and he drew it for her.

Wow, this series was very entertaining. I have some interest in history and how Goto's situation will be linked to her daughter's life. What strikes me is the drawing, which seems simple. It is something different from what I am used to.

Seems like a fun show so far but the intro makes me fear that the finale is going to be pretty sad. For now I enjoy it as is.

Holy shit I haven't laughed like that in a long time. What a splendid episode 1!
However I am SUPER CONCERNED about Kakushi. He gives Hime that Key to his office...is he...Dead?!?! God damn I don't even want to think about that. This a wholesome anime...WHOLESOME DAMMIT

I love how Anime dads lose their shit whenever it comes to their innocent daughters.

It was funny and love how Hime couldn't promote Starbucks, everyone kept stopping her, can't give the big green mermaid free promotion after all.

This will be my feelgood series for the season.

I kinda wonder if this anime wouldn't be better to watch for those who didn't watch Zetsubou-sensei, because the only thing i could see is the surabondance of Zetsubou-sensei references. The same sentence, the same voice actor, the classmates. It was hard to consider this one as a separate entity.

Overall it was good, i'm a sucker for father-daughter animes ( like Usagi drop, hinamatsuri... ) They always have to kill the mom tho ? I have nothing against the author humor, i always like the jokes he pulls.

I have no critique over the art and sound, as they were both really good. I'm still pretty excited for the next episodes. I will probably read the manga once the anime is over ( i heard it's gonna end in two volumes so )

This was a really strong start; it shows a lot of promise. I'm really excited to see where this goes, the characters and pacing were on point.

That's what death is, don't you think?

This was a really fun first episode. Nice seeing a father-daughter anime. It's been a while since I watched a SOL anime and this looks good. Also, Kamiya's voice is iconic.

Going into the show with very little expectations and I came out pretty surprised. It has a cutesy premise and I can see being a lot of fun. That being said I found too many of the gags kind of dumb. The art is pretty generic but the animation sort of makes up for it most of time. The OP was pretty good as well.

Ok this was great, one of the best new anime so far in this season.

At the same time it made me thing about Joey's (The Anime Man) interview with Monster Musume mangaka not willing to show his face on the camera.

How are Funi's subtitles? Decided to give it a shot by watching it.....elsewhere, and my god the subs are a mess. All the random context subs are put on top of the dialogue subtitles, and there are A LOT of them, so reading the dialogue is an actual pain in the ass since you have a second or two to differentiate what's dialogue and what's background text. I'm half considering subscribing to Funimation just for this annoyance alone.

Other than that, the show is solid, definitely worth keeping up with. Humor is pretty great, Kumeta definitely has a style and it shows here.

Production values are good but there's a bit too much Kumeta in everything and the main gimmick of the show is the kind I usually dislike, difficult decision but I think I'll pass

I got some really good drama vibes from this, I expect to cry anytime soon on this anime.
The anime in general is average though, it has some archetypes that I like so I'll keep watching.
Hmmm... For now it's a 7/10

Pretty good. Famous manga artist who have his job as a secret from his daughter and do anything thats possible to keep it that way. Also Mario the weird looking Jojo character :D. But what happened to his wife? :C

That was a decent debut.

I'm used to Koji Kumeta doing hardcore satire works, so I found it a bit unusual that this work is a lot softer than his usual stuff. The word jokes (Kakushigoto, Himegoto are secret) and parodies (Attack on Gremlin, Witches Brew) are still good, so that's a laugh.

That said, I think the main satire is that this writer is overdoing his efforts to keep his job as a dirty manga writer and to be a good father. She's bound to find out eventually, and how many kids of manga writers are okay with their parents' career?

But maybe something else happened, the story's just begun after all.

Also are Hime's friends based on the Zetsubo girls? I saw Chiri and Nami there.
