Spy x Family Season 2

With her ability to read minds, Anya Forger is the only one who knows the true identities of her unconventional family. Her pretend father Loid operates as an elite spy code-named Twilight; her mother Yor kills on demand as the assassin Thorn Princess; and their dog, Bond, possesses the gift of precognition. Although they hide the truth from each other, this pretense of a perfectly ordinary family provides Anya with the genuine love and warmth that she longed for as an orphan.

Operation Strix—Loid's special mission to avoid potential war by gathering vital information and getting close to the powerful political figure, Donovan Desmond—is only possible if Anya plays her part right. She can either excel academically and become an Imperial Scholar at her prestigious school or make friends with Donovan's son, Damian. Neither is exactly easy, but with her adventurous attitude, Anya throws herself wholeheartedly into her mission as a Forger—all for the sake of international peace.

This anime is truly a masterpiece. Who wouldn't love a fake family of spies, assassins, and telepaths?

Loid's ridiculous antics, like his epic fails in the kitchen and his over-the-top spy disguises, had me dying laughing. And Yor's deadpan reactions? EVERYTHING. I loved how she went from being a mysterious assassin to a doting "mom" who can't resist Anya's charms.

And Anya? She's the real MVP - her telepathic powers and sassy attitude make her the ultimate scene-stealer. I loved how she used her powers to "help" Loid and Yor, even if it meant manipulating them sometimes.

But what really got me was the character development. I loved ... seeing Loid's soft side, like when he comforted Anya after her nightmare, and Yor's vulnerability, like when she opened up about her past. And Anya's growth from a bratty kid to a (somewhat) empathetic one? Heartwarming.

The animation is stunning, the music is catchy, and the voice acting is superb. I also appreciated the themes of found family, acceptance, and empathy - it's not just a spy comedy, folks! The way the Forgers came together, despite being an unlikely family, really resonated with me.

Mixed Feelings

5/10 ~ The show has become average

This season was once again more of the same, same charecters (infact they didn't add anyone new), same over used jokes and a drop in animation. The only praise I would give it, is that there was a more cohesive story line, instead of being set up like a sitcom in the past season where most of the ep could be watched in a fairly random order after about ep 5 or so. I am not sure if this helped or hurt it, it just was. Overall the thing that has not changed is that this is a good ... junk food show to put on in the background while you are doing something else, in my case working. The show is extremely inoffensively which to me is a huge demerit to anything. We as the audience understand, Yuri is obsessed with his sister, as a westerner this joke was not only not funny but gets old the 2nd or 10th time I see it, Anya is a bad student, Loid is obsessed with his job and Yor is dub. We understand these things, and they just keep recycling the jokes over and over again. The jokes are amusing enough the first time, for the most part, But without good writing or charecters depth, it gets old fast.

Unfortunately for me I tend to just finish shows all the way through, even if I don't care for them. Luckily this show is fine enough, Average I would say. But there is so much media out now, that is easily accessible that it feels like a crime to waste time on sub par things, you just need to wade through it all.

Not Recommended

What a terrible drop in quality from a series that had a great first season. Incredibly dull and repetitive story. The one great arc from the manga - the cruise arc - was poorly adapted with uninspired and dull animation. The annoying background music fucked up yors amazing fight scene and ruined the best moments. Other than that, how many times can one sit through the same shitty storyline over and over again? We get it, yuri is a creep for his sister, anya is a crappy student, etc etc. None of the characters get any development and the plot is dry.

Overall this season ... was a chore to get through and based on how the manga is going it doesnt look like things will get better anytime soon. This season is a skip. Read the manga instead for the cruise arc.
