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.

Honestly, I was a bit nervous going into Part 2 of Spy x Family - could it live up to the hype of the first season? But oh man, it delivered and then some! I devoured every episode like a starving person, and I'm still reeling from the finale.

What I love most about this show is how it balances humor and heart. Anya's antics still have me dying laughing, but it's the quiet moments between Loid and Yor that really get me. Their fake family dynamic is so convincing, I find myself rooting for them like they're real people.

And can we talk about Damian Desmond? ... I love how he's trying to act all tough and edgy, but you can tell he's got a soft spot for Anya. I'm calling it now - he's going to become a valuable ally (and maybe even friend?) to the Forger family. His character adds such depth to the story!

But what really stands out is the show's exploration of family and acceptance. As someone who's struggled with feeling like they don't quite fit in, Anya's journey really resonates with me.

If you haven't watched Spy x Family yet, what are you even doing with your life? Trust me, it's worth the hype.

Mixed Feelings

5.5/10

Part 2 of SxF is as predicted more of the same and a decline off that was the banger of the first few episodes. They cut much the action parts and keep reusing the same type of jokes over and over. The show is just fine, but I did laugh from time to time and I made it through, so it cant be all bad. Overall I would say this show is ever so slightly better then Average, which is a 5/10.

My biggest problem with the show is that this is not very well written. All the charecters are pretty 1 dimensional and ... most of the time are just walking punch-lines. I would say this type of character is fine for the literal child that is Anya (and the whole reason to watch the show), However for her parent Loid and Yor I would say this is pretty unacceptable. Every other character is some how even more shallow and walking stereotypes. This feels like just anime made for everyone, and when you try to please everyone; you please no one.

If you enjoyed season 1 and wanted more of the same, this is perfect for you as you and I are both aware that this is just junkfood anime and if that's what you want that is perfectly fine. If you thought the show as going to get better I would probably avoid this and not continue.

Between Spy x Filler and Demon Slayer, it has become clear to me why such underwhelming anime have become so popular.

It's because they have nothing to say. In having nothing to say, they are also completely nonjudgmental. Anyone can say they like Spy x Filler or Demon Slayer, and it would say absolutely nothing about them. Normies can watch them without crossing the line into "anime fan" territory. No opinions are asked of them, because there are no sides to take. Without any opinions, no thinking is required. It's a safe space for centrists to continue not having opinions on anything while feeling good ... about themselves.

Animes like this don't bother to explore anything deeper than superficialities and are comfortable remaining there. That itself isn't criminal in a show, as there are plenty of feel-good shows that only set out to do that, but in such settings with supposedly serious undertones with supposedly real stakes on the line, it absolutely is.

This season is a meandering mess where nothing happens to drive the main plot forward. The only thing this anime manages to achieve is draw skilled animators away from other projects where their work would have gone toward something actually worthwhile.
