The Feel-Good Part

The story has a pretty good plot. The show focused on the build a relationship between a father and his daughter. The child character is so innocent. She is entirely dependent on her father and loves her father the most.  The insecurity of a father about his secret has beautifully portrayed through the characters in this anime.

The OSTs are good. It perfectly fits with the scenes of the show.

The Disappointing Factor

The disclosure of the character could have been better. There are some subplots that it makes people distracted sometimes. Otherwise, there are no such loopholes in the show.

In-Depth Analysis

The anime depicts the mindset of a child who lost her mother at an early age. She becomes so protective about her father and wants to be with him all the time. On the other hand, the father, Kakushi Gotou, intends to maintain his status quo before his daughter and her friend, and that’s why he disguised himself as a working salaryman.

Kakushi is a stable person. He married her love of life, Imashigata Kairi.  Kairi is a daughter of a wealthy family, and their culture cannot match with Kakushi. Due to this reason, Kairi was abandoned by her family and lives a happy life with Kakushi. After some time, they have their child, Hime. Kakushi takes them to the zoo to have a beautiful and enjoyable day. But the day becomes the curse of his life. Kairi was lost in the cruise and had never been found. People believed that she was dead, and Kakushi raised the baby singlehandedly.

Kakushi did his best to live a happy life for his daughter. He took her to the beach, the fair, and many more places. Sometimes, he overdid some things to protect the secret from the child.

Star Power

The voice actors are truly impressive. They portrayed every anime character perfectly through their voices.
