Let me guess, you must think the even more overhyped Chainsaw Man is better, right? Spy x Family is refreshing for a Shounen and the manga is one of the best I’ve read, and the anime is doing it justice. I have no idea how it doesn’t deserve the praise it’s getting.

sometimes , i dont understand the weird tastes in japan :

- good manga-s :
spy x family , takopi , my dress up darling , komi cant communicate .

- bad , trashy , rubbish , garbage manga-s that dont deserve the high sales :
jujutsu kaisen , one piece aka none piece aka one piece of fece , tokyo revengers aka tokyo ret@rders , detective conan , dragonball super aka dragonball super dumber , iruma-kun , black clover , my hero academia aka my ZERO academia , haikyu , makai no shuyaku ....

- manga-s that i dont read so i dont know if they are good or bad :
golden kamuy , ao ashi , mystery to iu ... , blue lock ( the writer is KANESHIRO Muneyuki so this manga must be very bad ) , kimetsu no yaiba , shikimori ...

Just because you like something that doesn’t mean others will also like it . Where does chainsawman came into this discussion when he didn’t even read chainsawman and saying it’s more overhyped is an objective statement cause it’s not even close to what we call overhyped right now but maybe in future . Spy x family is literally overhyped even if it’s good , YOR fanarts are absurdly all over the Twitter and anime adaption is just conservative not something mind blowing, the manga source material is still the best compared to anime infact anime mostly censored tadbit bloody scenes which was unnecessary.

nah, you need to see it from their perspective too, mate.

If you live in western (Europe or North America), their genre & theme basically is nothing special. Just spy action movies turned to series and added with some wholesome child & family perspective (which is quite unique but not so unique).

But if you consider that the author is Japanese and he create it in manga first, not novel, you will understand how they praise it so much. Japanese media have so little reference to western buildings & city atmosphere, so the author that could almost perfectly capture every buildings, cars, interior, furniture, arstyle, etc to get that is crazy. You could see how bad they are at it by seeing every isekai anime and their 90% identical city...they are so clueless about it that they wont even bother to improve and only depends all their uniqueness on story.

You could see it in spread page of the manga. That crazy detail like pulling us to the 1950-1960s Germany even though we never go there. For European that see it everyday or at least in their local tv, this atmosphere is nothing. But for us manga readers this is quite magical. Just see how unique their manga cover compared to others, so simplistic and retro-modern, only showing 1 or 2 characters compared to the usual jumble-fumble main character poster action scenes (just see Naruto manga cover). The high quality of the setting is also the main reason which can differentiate the good story with boring story...this actually happen with Gochiusa which basically the usual slice of life loli anime, but because they take the setting in Netherland-like village (and they are so good at capturing it) they can get 3 seasons & 2 OVA. While Comic Girls with more actual relevance, goals, & interaction of the almost identical loli girls who create manga have only 1 season.

The problem with anime is they cant spend too much time showing us this much details, so this magic is rather reduced, but once again...they depends to the story to save it.

Thats why i understand if some people hype it, because the effort to create is outstanding. We are eager to wait for the results of adaptation. But because the anime still depends on story to capture the quality & atmosphere, they need to consider pacing & arc climax. So to get the same effect on reading the manga, you need to at least get to the heavy-action & emotional scene...maybe later in adaptation of chapter 10-20s (the Dog arc).

Imagine making a series of a popular game series that's existed and expanded for over 20 years and has amassed a large diehard following... only to be outdone by a wholesome spy cartoon.
