Synopsis

Corrupt politicians, frenzied nationalists, and other warmongering forces constantly jeopardize the thin veneer of peace between neighboring countries Ostania and Westalis. In spite of their plots, renowned spy and master of disguise "Twilight" fulfills dangerous missions one after another in the hope that no child will have to experience the horrors of war.

In the bustling Ostanian city of Berlint, Twilight dons the alias of "Loid Forger," an esteemed psychiatrist. However, his true intention is to gather intelligence on prominent politician Donovan Desmond, who only appears rarely in public at his sons' school: the prestigious Eden Academy. Enlisting the help of unmarried city hall clerk Yor Briar to act as his wife and adopting the curious six-year-old orphan Anya as his daughter, Loid enacts his master plan. He will enroll Anya in Eden Academy, where Loid hopes she will excel and give him the opportunity to meet Donovan without arousing suspicion.

Unfortunately for Loid, even a man of his talents has trouble playing the figure of a loving father and husband. And just like Loid is hiding his true identity, Yor—who is an underground assassin known as "Thorn Princess"—and Anya—an esper who can read people's minds—have no plans to disclose their own secrets either. Although this picture-perfect family is founded on deception, the Forgers gradually come to understand that the love they share for one another trumps all else.

I loved this so much. I think it's because it focused on family but also some detective stories at the same time. I was genuinely so sad when I finished the 2 seasons... I can't wait until the next one comes out though. I loved the bounds that each characters created between each other, as people who used to struggle with that, they are like 3 outcasts who met and formed a family. It made me feel sad about my family at this point lmfao. I think people will like it even if they don't want animes in general. The story was not that predictable, ...

Mixed Feelings
A spy, an assassin, and a girl who can read peoples' minds walk into a bar. The result is a somewhat decent sitcom that's fairly funny, as long as you're comparing it to other anime which is grading on an extremely generous curve. There were a few gags that could consistently make me smirk, e.g. the telepath girl's horrified reactions when someone thinks something bad, or her smug face when she comes up with a galaxy-brained plan. But there was certainly still nothing laugh-out-loud funny, and I swear this isn't just me with a stick up my butt. Japanese humor just really doesn't translate well ...

It is an unfortunate case of mistranslated comedy, reduced to staleness due to lack of variation. The espionage background provides a foundation for creative witticism, but the show isn’t audacious enough to augment its parodic eccentricity to engender guffaws. However, this is not to say that it is entirely unentertaining, as its self-containment can be seen as a merit according to the audience, but its reliance on a fixed set of jokes gets old quickly. Anya and her school plot to get close to the Desmond family aren't appealing to me, as it intrinsically diminishes potential sub-plots concerning Loid and his operations. And this is ...
