by After surviving July, the hottest month in history, many people feel like they are not going out due to the intense heat, whether they are students with just a few days left of summer vacation or working adults with too much summer vacation.
However, if you repeat, “When you suddenly realize it’s night while surfing the net,” you feel like you’ve lost something. Therefore, the author, who has been working as an anime for over half a century, has selected three anime that can be easily viewed through distribution and have a fulfilling summer vacation while staying home. This article will help you make the most of your summer vacation.
A story of a father-daughter bond by a rare gag cartoonist, “Theatrical Edition Kakushigoto – What is Himegoto?” What is Himegoto?” is based on the comic “Kakushigoto,” serialized by Koji Kumeda in Monthly Shonen Magazine from January 2016 to August 2020. It is an edited version of the TV anime “Kakushigoto,” broadcast from April to June 2020. It was released in July 2021 as “Koji Kumeda 30th Anniversary Commemorative Work”.
A story and character introduction by a gag cartoonist who is good at dirty jokes and his daughter. It has become. Kakushi Goto has a 10-year-old daughter, Princess Goto. However, because of his style, he chooses to live a double life by hiding his occupation from his daughter.
The title “Kakushigoto” has the double meaning of “drawing work” and “hidden work.” And in parallel with the story of Kakushi Goto’s favorite manga artist, the situation progresses when Princess Goto, who turned 18, learns about her father’s secret business. While Kakushi Goto’s double life is a slapstick comedy, how did Princess Goto discover her father’s secret job, and where is Kakushi Goto now? It is a significant feature.
The story of “Kakushigoto” also has the aspect of mystery. The main character, Kakushi Goto, follows Hiroshi Kamiya, following Nozomi Itoshiki, the main character of the TV anime “Sayonara Zetsubou- sensei” by the same author, Koji Kumeda. Who acted as a voice actor. Nozomi Itoshiki and Kakushi Goto have many things in common, such as their strong negative ideas and assumptions.
In addition, the figure of the original author, Koji Kumeda, is strongly reflected in his style, which is good at making dirty jokes, but also has a very sincere attitude toward manga and a passionate love for manga. Rie Takahashi voices both 18-year-old and 10-year-old Princess Goto.
At age 10, she skillfully plays a real girl with a childish mindset and grown-up behavior. She also felt that she was mature and settled by the time she turned 18 while still feeling a deep trust and affection for her father, so she thought that she had high acting ability.
The reason why you want to watch it in the summer and the appeal of this work The TV anime version, which was produced with the schedule of ending at the same time as the original, develops the story from the spring when Princess Goto is ten years old to the following spring, and eight years later.
This work, released in July 2021, the year after the TV anime version, is not set in summer, but there is a villa in Kamakura where the manuscript was hidden, and the excellent screen makes you feel like a breath of freshener. Also, the sea and its blue color have a great deal to do with the story of the work, and it is an anime you want to watch in the summer, just like when it was first released. And the biggest attraction of this work is the mystery element that 18-year-old Hime Goto unravels the mystery related to his drawing work and upbringing that Kakushi Goto desperately hid.
In the original and TV anime version, the big attractions are Kakushi Goto’s actions and gags related to manga and anime, which are 80% true stories that can only be drawn by Koji Kumeda. However, in the condensed and re-edited movie version of 78 minutes, the slapstick of eight years ago is summarized in a short digest.
And her deeper father-daughter connection is emphasized by delving into the “hidden work” of her father’s occupation and upbringing from Gotohime’s point of view. Mr. Koji Kumeda has shown his talent as a storyteller by frequently drawing mystery episodes in his gag works. This work is Mr. Kumeda’s first comic as a manga artist, and although it is a gag manga, it is “a work that needs to draw the final episode,” and his talent is fully demonstrated.
In the theatrical release version, you can enjoy the concentrated narrative. Also, Kakushi Goto’s love for his wife, whose name was revealed in this work, was not depicted in the TV anime version. The final episode of the TV anime is based on Koji Kumeda’s plot, as it was produced to coincide with the end of the serialization in the magazine.
Therefore, the TV anime version has a slightly different development from what was drawn at the end of the original. Therefore, a new cut was added for the theatrical release one year later, and this work was re-edited.
In the TV anime version, the story ended with the OP’s “Chiisana Hibi” by Flumpool. Still, in the movie version, “Kimi wa Tenneniro” by Eiichi Otaki, the TV anime version’s ED is used again for the end credits. An anecdote is that Mr. Takashi Matsumoto, who was in charge of writing the lyrics, wrote “Kimi wa Tenneniro” after overcoming the separation from his beloved sister. And the content of the songs is also synchronized with this work, and it was a suitable ending to conclude the anime version once again.
The manga “Kakushigoto” was released with a unique composition in which an episode from the perspective of 18-year-old Princess Goto was inserted as a colored copy in the original serial version. Koji Kumeda, a manga artist who loves manga, has a strange structure that changes the story’s appearance depending on the medium in which the work is published.
Also, by reading the sentence “The job of writing the real work of drawing” added in the book, I can guess why 18-year-old Princess Goto was depicted in the work eight years ago. For those who touched “Kakushigoto” for the first time in the theatrical version, we strongly recommend that you read the TV anime version together with the original. Not to mention the fun of the only gag, you will be able to deeply know the truth about manga, manga artists, and animation production. If you can spend your summer vacation conquering the “hidden job,” you will have a meaningful autumn of art. That’s the hard part.
