Spy x Family Part 2

With Anya Forger successfully enrolled at the renowned Eden Academy, Operation Strix advances to its second phase. To investigate Ostanian politician Donovan Desmond, Anya must either befriend his son Damian or collect eight Stella Stars to become an Imperial Scholar. Fortunately, Anya has already acquired her first star. In celebration, her adoptive father, Loid, decides to fulfill her wish to adopt a dog.

During their canine search, Loid receives new orders from his superiors, who have found that a band of Berlint University students is plotting to assassinate Westalis' Minister Brantz using bombs worn by trained dogs. While Loid tries to stop their plans, Anya stumbles upon the terrorists' base of operations. There, she befriends a kindhearted, clairvoyant dog who the family later names Bond.

Although the Forgers continue to lead their individual lives in secrecy, the family—with a new fluffy addition—remains united through all of the unusual obstacles thrown their way.

I have been binging anime for a year now but for some reason did not watch Spy X Family. After watching season 2, I'm a fan.
As many anime I have watched, Spy x Family season one is brilliant and excellent and sets up the entire scene together with good character development. Season two has more fillers although some characters are developed. The first and last episodes of season 2 are not essential to watch but are quite amusing anyway. The majority of the season is spent on the luxury cruise at sea, where Yor takes on the role of main character. She is prominent and ... strong in her appearance while acting as a body guard.
Anya and Loid take a smaller part in this adventure even though the youngest character in the family has a hard time sitting still or not being involved.

Overall a really good season even though the pacing is somewhat slow due to the fillers. And a bonus Stella for Bond in the last episode where we get to see him soaked :)

Mixed Feelings

Nice and heartwarming, but that's all.

Let's start with the positive aspects:
The series has quite an interesting premise. A fun way to expose the way all humans build masks to interact with others presented in the shape of the innocent perspective of a little girl.

Most of the characters of the series are very likeable and there's a good balance between their personalities. There is a nice chemistry between the main three protagonists and even the secondary characters are well introduced.
The animation is pretty with nice backgrounds and flowed scenes. The soundtrack is simple but helpful for building the atmosphere.

However, I could say that the biggest issue ... about this anime is the lack of complexity and surprise.
An important part of it is highly predictable. It's easy to infer where things are going and some scenes take way too long to reach the obvious. In addition to this, the dynamics of the show become repetitive after a while. These two things can make some parts a bit boring to watch. While many situations can potentially make you laugh, others may feel like a waste of time.
You know, the kind of things that may work in the manga format but doesn't translate well onto anime.

Even though the characters did get some development, a 24 episode season was way too much for such a little step.

I enjoyed the series as a whole despite its flaws. It's a good way to relax and have some fun to forget about your daily life. But I have the feeling that it's the kind of anime with a story that never really takes off.
Lots of wasted potential here.
It's such a shame because it could've been a memorable anime.

Persistent issues from the first cour constitute the majority of this part, completely losing grip on the plot and sacrificing the middling comedic value for establishing familial stability. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with building bonds (no pun intended), as each family member needs to maintain their position while withholding secrets, but the show’s approach ends up too stagnating and redundant for its own good. I can get behind the episodic nature, which is more prominent in this part compared to the last, insofar as it’s applied coherently to progress the story, which, unfortunately, isn’t the case here. We observed the self-containment being used as an ... asset in the previous part, and though I wasn’t a fan of it personally, it was fairly innocuous considering the general direction and introductory segments. However, the degree of comfort in that structure seems to have skyrocketed in part 2, with most of the episodes lacking a definite target and consequently appearing dissociated from the ultimate objective. I wouldn’t be as critical if the central focus was supposed to be on the mundane, daily routine, but the problem poses itself when there’s an insufficient balance between the spy and the family aspects.

It’s important to note that the show is indeed trying, evident from the Bond and Nightfall arcs, but I’d refuse to call it remotely clever in its setups. The opening episodes implement Anya’s indiscipline as a contrivance, and the pairing of mind reading and precognition could’ve been way more intriguing if they were expanded upon. Opportunistic conveniences diminish the development scale of ideas, and the show often shifts its focus too quickly to satisfactorily explore possibilities. Bond’s backstory is a fill-in aimed to fabricate sympathy, which offers negligible value to the country’s political stance; it’s ludicrous how the depth of the relationship between the two nations still hasn’t been touched upon, especially considering the nature of the espionage background. The character takes a backseat following his addition to the family, occasionally popping up for some filler sub-stories. It isn’t until Nightfall’s introduction that everyone appears cohesively involved for the first time, as it jeopardizes the family’s integrity, demanding immediate rectification and reconstruction.

The tennis matches, in particular, are some of the least enthralling games I’ve watched, but I’m willing to excuse that as they adequately achieve their purpose, and this isn’t supposed to be a sports anime. During one of the matches the show reaches its directorial zenith, though it’s tragically short-lived; there is a modicum of such instances where the direction picks up, but meandering seems like the priority for some inconceivable reason. I prefer Fiona’s dynamic with Loid, specifically as they work well together in the story’s advancement, but her addition is an obvious stepping stone for the hinted romantic development between Yor and Loid. Yor remains an underused character, and I’d like to gain more insight into her operations in the subsequent season, as less Anya antics would be a massive positive. The production seems pretty much identical to the last part, maybe even worse, as there’s insufficient movement here as well, and I didn’t notice much of the soundtrack this time around, but the opening and ending are a clear upgrade. Judging by the ultimate episode, it appears this might finally be heading toward a meaningful course, though I’ll keep my expectations low. So far, SPY x FAMILY is a plenitude of family and not nearly enough of spy.
