| More than words, I already love this adaptation ヾ(＠⌒▽⌒＠)ﾉ Anya and Loid VA fits so well. Very on point Anya expressions. They captured the fun and wholesomeness of the mango. Really looking forward for more. |
 |
| Time for some Spy X Family. Really digging the VA for Loid and Anya. And I also like the style, kinda reminds me of Balance Unlimited (which makes sense since it was the same studio). Looking forward to see Yor. |
 |
| It's so good, so much and more that I'd want from an anime. I love the chemistry between the two, the fight choreography, animation, music, everything. "Mommy doesn't exist!" |
 |
| As a non-manga reader the pacing is quite wild in this episode but it's nice to see a spy being efficient in what he does. I was afraid that Forger may become soft and descend into father mode too early but he maintained his cool ..for now. Excited to see what comes next. The music feels slightly underwhelming for a cold war spy show ngl. Forger and Anya's dynamic is really cute but I kinda hoped they fleshed it out more before rushing to that action scene. The aspect of spies that appeals to me the most is how their past experiences shaped the ruthless and cynical figures they are today and that scene of young forger crying in the ruins certainly stands out. WWll had a traumatic impact on most CW spies and Forger is no exception to it. Interested to see how that develops. |

| Yeahhhhhh! This ep was so cute and wholesome! Anya is so adorable (ᗒ ᗨᗕ) |
| Damn, this was good! I couldn't help but have high expectations for the show and I'm pleasantly satisfied with what we got from here. Right off the bat, there's an assassination and a spy working behind the scenes to gather the info. That's more like it, dynamic and wild! Pretty cool how effortlessly he got it done, a man with a 100 faces indeed. Gee, I felt for the boss's daughter though, imagine being ditched right beside a successful marriage proposal. Spies sure get unreasonable commands at times too, a kid within 7 days xD. That'd concern any man, let alone a spy. And then we're introduced to Anya. Adopted to 4 different families following the fleeing from the facility that unintentionally created her power, that's certainly not a rosy life so far. Using her telepathic abilities to the full extent, she's definitely smart in another respect. Seeing Forger's struggle made me develop a new respect for parents, can't figure them without interrogation - dang it, lmao. Some nice familial bonding with the fun hide-and-seek games there from one side of the party. Can't end a Spy-centered show without some action. Buildup to it being Anya messing around with the transmissions and getting kidnapped was kind of funny though. CloverWorks & Production I.G., one can't help but have expectations for some of the standout moments too and those action scenes certainly fit the bill! Quite the display of skills there from Forger. "To not let kids cry, that's why I became a spy" - Boy, that was some powerful scene when he ripped out the face mask. And that spy show-off - "I know your daughter's weight, height, .. , and criminal record." Now that's a threat and a half! A pistol with a silencer, it could've gone so wrong for her but thankfully it went just about fine. Cool liar, that excuse of just shopping around the corner was never going to fly, lol. Totally in father mode over the school entrance determining scene, that was a treat to watch for sure! He's had a rough past and is doing noble things now, respect. Anya thinking he might've died from all that was hilarious though. But wait, a mother now? Yikes, lol. Anya squeezing in to have a nap with Chichi was too adorable. Hip-hop style ED, as you'd expect from Hoshino Gen-san. I think I'll need some more time to appreciate it. Looking forward to the Op! Noticed K(N)ow_Name appear at the start of the episode, it'll be cool if some of their tracks make it across here too. |

| Well that was definitely a great start for the very beginning, they adapted chapter 1 perfectly I guess, now I'm waiting to see Yor later xD |
 |
| "Mother does not exist" with that expression just sent me LMAO Between this getting to 8.80 less than an hour after the episode and Kaguya easily breaking the 9.00, 1/10 trolls have their work cut out for them this season. |
 |
| Solid and strong first episode, both for the manga readers and those who doesn't read the manga. I'm quite afraid actually about the plot being rushed, because once I remember this first episode almost took half of the first volume. But at the end, I found it enjoyable, understandable and laughable, and the plot drives really well-converted into anime. Seiyuus playing in also in this reason too. How really the one who voiced Anya Forger really blend into her character, and how well Eguchi Takuya could well-handle the 'lot' of personalities that Twilight had. Drama and action well-handled, comes in with great graphics and the music too. Like I've said earlier, it was really a solid and strong first episode. On my unpopular opinion, it might be one of the best first episode animes. But who I am to judge... Enjoy the ride my friend, and all who read it.. It's still a long ride, but it might be one of the best ride we ever took. |
| Anya is so adorable! Been waiting for spy x family to air and it's been awesome so far. I absolutely love the characters so I hope the story carries through |
 |
| Like expected, I enjoyed this way more in anime form than in manga form. It looks fantastic and the animation looks so smooth and well-detailed that makes Loid really come across as a badass spy throughout despite only limited 'exciting' stuff actually happening in this episode. The story's kind of middle of the road in this episode and could have been even more exciting overall besides just a couple moments looking sick, but the production makes it feel a lot more enjoyable than what plain manga art could do, and the anime makes me like the character designs a lot more too seeing how well the staff put them together and brought them to life here. Music could be better since it did make the episode drag a little at times, but other than that, it was a really good adaptation of the manga. Anya's a good complement to someone like Loid too. It's a decent premiere overall. Not my favorite from this season (that belongs to Kongming until I eventually see the premiere for Kingdom Season 4 I presume) but I did enjoy this a lot more than the manga which I found average overall from the story to the art as well, and the anime looks so good. Hopefully with the next few episodes, I can find even more excitement there to the point where I can call this a straight up good anime. For a start, this was fine for normal standards and impressive as a whole compared to the manga. |
| One of the most anticipated release of this season by the public, it deserves high praise from its pilot episode. Character introduction for Loid and Anya is amazing. Takuya Eguchi really fits the role. I love the reactions of Anya as well, applause for Atsumi Tanezaki. Now, we have yet to wait for the Forger family to be completed next week. |
   |
| Anya's expressions were so good. The animations were also amazing. |
 |
| This first episode was really good. Anya is just too cute |
| I was hoping for Know_Name to perform the opening/ending, but I guess "just the music" is fine too. Still hoping for an insert song maybe! :) |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... Halloween 2024:       |
MegamiRem said: One of the most anticipated anime of this year is finally here and this was a great start, the production is superb. As expected of both the studios behind the adaptation. Twilight x Anya moments were really wholesome. Twilight's a cool guy and Anya's adorable, even more so with Tanezaki Atsumi's voice. Also I know it'll be a long while before we get to this in anime but can't wait to see this going from here  to here May i know what chapter this is ? idk if I've read it or not |
 |
| omg omg omg so fucking good |
| 10/10 episode, I expect great things from this adaptation, it was REALLY good and got me invested in the characters from the get-go. Might get back into the manga since I left it on-hold pretty early on. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| Loved it so wholesome.. |
| First Episode was perfect and animation captured Anya expression so greatly... so much cuteness and wholesome moments for me to handle. |
 |
| Such a perfect episode 1 in my personal opinion. I was so excited for this and it exceeded my expectations. |
| OP will be shown in next week's episode, whereas the ED will be shown at the end of episode 3 (confirmed). As far as the adaptation from WIT x Cloverworks goes, that was an amazing first episode. The action cuts were fluid, the character designs were 1:1 to the manga as well as consistent, the art and compositing was clean, the voice acting and soundtracks were solid too. Seeing that cut of young Twilight hits differently after last's week chapter which began Twilight's backstory. Yor next episode, and then Damian and Bond will make some waves too. I'm really excited for the 2-cour and I hope the quality stays consistent the whole way through. |
 |
| What a great start! It's sooo nice to finally see them animated! <3 <3 <3 Can't wait for more episodes to come! |
 |
| The whole episode is cool and wholesome. Liked the character of Loid and Anya this episode. The episode is fast paced but it adapted very good. The animation and art is great with some nice character sakuga. The direction is good that introduces our MCs and the starting premise, that expanding as the anime progresses. The main VAs nailed the character especially Anya which is surprising because its different from the trailer. The OST is good too with jazzy music which compliment the scenes. The ending song played btw its such a great song. Overall great pilot episode |
 |
| anya is so fucking cute |
 |
| And its finally here. Loid really is the man with a hundred faces huh. But man Donovan Desmund sure had the most unfortunate of faces though. That orphanage though sure had staff that were uncaring in the extreme. Still Anya sure had a complicated past. But it was adorable seeing Loid try get used to becoming a parent and speedlearning the things he needs to do so. Given what she went through no wonder Anya hates studying. The storming of the shop though was well well played especially the turning of the tables on them by using flour traps. Loid's dramatic slow fall in the end after seeing Anya's results was hilarious. Overall an excellent opening ep that featured a perfect combo of action, comedy and world expansion while also introducing the strange dynamics that the Forger family will bring to the narrative. Looking forward to meeting Yor. The ending theme was also a pretty calm one as well. |

| Pretty good, it escalates quickly then there are wholesome scenes, I wonder how many manga chapters will be adapted. |
