| Finally, been waiting for this for so long. When I first saw the manga, I thought it was going to be something I wouldn't enjoy. But I quickly feel in love with its charm, comedy, and wholesome family themes. This episode was great, loaded with action and funny bits. The pacing felt a tad rushed though. But now they've established the mission and the world, I suspect it'll slow down starting next episode. Animation looked as great as it did in the previews. I'm hoping we get more of that jazz we heard in the next episode preview in the show itself. It sounded so good. Anya being the heart of the show was everything I'd hoped she'd be animated. Everyone can continue to blow thier loads over Kaguya 3, but this is the real anime of the season. Looking forward to the adventures with the Forgers! 5/5 |
| Very awesome start!!! interesting that Anya can read people's mind, ad she is very cute~ |
 |
| pretty good episode, i look forward to the next episode. |
| The series got off to a great start. Anya's voice sounded cute. Looking forward to it since the series has beautiful animation and amazing story! |
| "You are destined to be who you are." |
| Great first episode~ No wonder lots of people wanting this to animated. First episode and it's already score 9 in MAL. I thought Loid is his real name... Next episode, the mother is going to appear! She look so pretty! Can't wait to see her on the next episode. |
 |
| Jesus christ, 9.02 with only the first episode. This is a peak adaptation of the manga, it's one of my favorite and I'm so glad it got an anime adaptation. The voice actors, animation, visuals, OST and OP are all way TOO good. Loid and Anya's introduction in the start was done very well. They're one hell of a duo together and Anya's just the greatest, most adorable character you'll ever meet. I can't wait to see all the face expressions she'll be making in the 25 episodes that will air. Twilight's life as a spy will bring some problems on the way but he is Mr.Perfet so he'll be fine. Can't wait for episode 2 which is even BETTER. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I was amazed by this first episode. Wholesome, funny and colorful. Anya is really cute, can't wait to see the mom joining the family next ep Also the animation is stellar. This is a great contender for anime of the season alongside Kaguya sama in my list. |
| omg i love this so much already! |

The opening song will be featured in ep 2 which is next week BY Official HIGE DANdism . im pretty sure they played the OP right before loid and anya went to check if she passed the admission test though? i watched it live and haven’t rewatched yet so maybe it’s just my mind messing with me lmao Nope, the opening does not play once. |
| Finally we get to see the first episode of the Spy x Family anime adaptation and its looking good so far. Twilight is tasked with getting close to his target Desmond who has been rumored in starting a war with Westalis with Operation Strix. The problem is that he only shows himself at gatherings in Eden College where his son attends, so he needs a child to pass the entrance exams so that Twilight would be allowed on Eden College's campus. Luckily, he finds and adopts a young girl named Anya and the two of them lived as father and daughter with the names Loid and Anya Forger(no pun intended). Anya is a psychic, but Twilight doesn't know that yet as she continues to read his mind. Anya managed to pass the entrance exam thanks to studying with Twilight, but another hurdle in the mission occurs when he has to attend an in person interview with Anya and her "mother" so Twilight has to scramble and find a potential wife. This would be a fine replacement for Lupin III Part 6 that aired on Saturdays last season so I can't wait to see more of it. |

| Banger ep. So happy to see one of my favorite manga done justice so far. Fluid animation, unique(in a good way) art style, and some nice music. I hope this 1:1 adaptation continues because the following chapters are even better. One very small nitpick I have was the art for this scene  It was still cool, but the way it was done in the manga just hit different, plus the huge contrast helped show why he was 'twilight'.  Aside from that minor complaint tho, this is genuinely an amazing adaptation, and I hope that they can maintain this quality for both cours. |
| As expected Wit Studio did a great job. Love this anime gonna stick to it till the end. |
| That was a fun first episode! Anya is adorable as ever lol. I just started reading the manga recently, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they adapt some of the future chapters. Can't wait to see this animated |
 |
| my god. just looking at anya's face and expression already made my day even better!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺 |
 |
| Well this looks very promising :D |
 plz @ me |
| this slaps. really really really really freaking hard. |

| Really good first episode! Usually not into cutesy child characters in any way shape or form but Anya seems alright for now. It's going to be annoying how many people talk about her but it's ok, I have Foid to look at. |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| CloverWorks and Wit Studio were really successful in producing this anime. As a manga reader, I really enjoyed this adaptation. Can't wait for the next episode and also the debut of Yor Forger. |

| That was great, I don't usually watch shows with a more serious or dark tone but this one was perfect, besides I can't say no to a show with a character like Anya, too precious, I assumed she was going to be a genius child or something like that but she is just a regular playful girl, and lol I imagine she was going to just read the children minds to answer everything in the test and what do you know, they were actual kids crumbling under pressure, so cute, not only that but Hayami Saori is part of the main cast. |
| n another season, or maybe even had this come earlier in this season, I feel like the nonstop monologuing would have annoyed me more. Yeah, it's going for a noir kind of feel, but it's just nonstop through the entire episode. Practically twenty minutes straight of a deep voiced drawl, only occasionally interrupted by the child, who is usually accompanied by carnival music. I think the real problem with the endless internal monologue is that it's not really witty nor all that informative, mostly just plainly announcing every detail of what is happening. Again, yes, that is something that is part and parcel to noir, but it's not unusual for anime in general and this leans much more towards standard anime than into the noir side, especially when it's pulling crap like extended flashbacks out of nowhere. I really wanted to see a better showing from both the spy side and the production. I do rather like heist things like Leverage or MacGyver, wits and ingenuity to beat the odds, and stringing up an elaborate tripwire and pulley trap with about thirty pounds of flour with an insta-made perfect face mask to copy Random Goon #4 is more like Lupin kind of antics while deliberately trying to be suave and debonair instead. It doesn't work all that well for me. It did at least introduce two characters with some kind of story and conflict that was resolved, so it accomplished something, which is more than can be said for a lot of shows this season, and a masculine drone is more soothing to the hindpart of the reptillian brain than a cacophony of high pitched screaming and/or JPop, but fairly soulless direction and not much effort past sufficient really kept this episode from having any particularly good or compelling scenes that I could point to and say "Yeah, this is what I want to see more of." |
| How can I enjoy this? There's no Yor. Banger episode, I cannot express how happy I am to see this animated. |
| What a good start, another great Anime in this banger season. The jazz music gives me Cowboy Bebop vibe and the way Forger disguises himself as other people reminds me a bit of Kaito Kid. |

| I'm loving the story so far! And Anya is a really cutiepie <3 although her telepath scares me ^^; Can't wait for next week! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Very happy to see an anime for this manga ^^ We will laugh with this beautiful trio :D |
| That was so good and the whole concept of the series is cool |
 |
| Yesss, it's pretty decent adaptation so far! It was wholesome and cute episode, action was good too! BUT the comedy doesn't land, because it isn't snappy or fast enough (but that's due to editing). Esp post-credit joke about Loid waking up and "oh are u gonna kill me?!" was very random. I really hope that as series goes on the editing of jokes will get better; |
 |
| I was already expecting a bunch from this anime given how popular the manga is, and it did way more than deliver lmao No complaints at all, before I started I was scared that Anya would be insanely smart and mature cause of her psychic abilities so I'm glad she behaves like a typical child. Can't wait for the next episode |
| As an anime only being introduced through the anime, I can definitely see why this was highly anticipated after one episode, I had no idea what to expect but I really enjoyed this. I love to finally see the concept in action, Twilight being a top spy having to become a dad was hilarious to see throughout the episode, not to mention Anya, who is so cute it hurts and is also an esper, makes her a handful of a child for this new dad to handle lol, after hearing about how great she is I can understand why now, did not take long at all, and her VA is fantastic. This also had a nice share of action sequences thanks to Anya getting Twilight caught, I haven’t seen a spy movie in a long time so that was refreshing, very cool to see, and the end of the episode was incredibly wholesome with Anya getting into the school and Twilight actually happy. Really excited to see more of this, a great first episode and more to come, next episode being titled “Secure Wife” sounds like it’s gonna be good lol, I’m exited to see her too. And if that was the ED we heard, it’s definitely a good one, now I wanna hear the OP next week hopefully! |
| Now i need to adopt Anya please, she is perfection And next episode the best waifu, Yor |

To be completely honest, this entire post just sounds like you're using big/unusual words to make people think you're smarter but just failing miserably. |
