Anime: Spy x Family

Comedy? Yes!
Action? Some.
Spy X Assassin X Esper = Family? Yes.

This series does not perfect anything, but it does blend what it got darn well together. You will get laughs, some actions and a lot of fake family. All in a setting with great and cheesy spy world building. The “spy-ness” permeate the family itself since they all keep their identity and true self hidden from each others and because of Anya’s epser ability the thrill of it is always there.

It is executed with likeable characters and lands on being a cheerful comedy rather than a screaming one. The screen time for the family members is unbalanced and the hint of morbidity that exist because… well… isn’t explored in any noteworthy capacity, leaving the series on a very lighthearted note.

All in all, as someone not that interested in spy settings, I was drawn in by the reputation for a great comedy and found myself enjoying many aspects of the series. Onward to part 2.

Spy x Family does a great job balancing action and comedy as this follows a skillful spy whose mission requires him to start a family. The main/supporting characters, pacing and enjoyment are all top notch. I normally don't comment on voice acting, but either dubs or subs are outstanding... can't go wrong with either. Although, one of my few complaints is the daughter's abilities are made known very early, but that doesn't factor in into the spy's plan for whatever reason. In the end, this is an excellent 1st half of season 1 that I eagerly await the 2nd half.

Amazing cast of characters, superb VAs and a very interesting story of how an assassin, master spy and telepathic girl form a family in order to pursue their missions (well apart from Anya who just wants a family). I enjoyed the comedy and the pacing of the plot is quite good. I felt that they should have went with a full season from the get-go but the second season was released quite closely to the first so I guess it's not too bad. Very recommended!

Beware of the superlatives or you could get disappointed. Overall, this anime is fun, but it clearly ran out of steam. The first filler episode comes early, with episode 5, and the last 4 episodes are also mostly fillers: they don't influence the plot in any way, and they pile up tropes.

I really enjoyed the beginning of the series, but I was tempted to skip in the later episodes. The total lack of progress and the repetitiveness are hindering the show. That's a pity, and I have low expectations for the next season of this series.

The anime you didn't know you needed to watch.
The best anime I've seen since Violet Evergarden. It's the perfect mix of James Bond and Nichijou. This one does real justice to the source material. The humour is duly absurd and often over the top and some of the situations are quite weird and it works!
ANYA IS BEST GIRL!
