| Finally has time to finish the whole season 1, but I got to say Anya is super annoying just because she has mind reader. She always make use of that and play trick on other peoples, and whenever she face she can't do she just cry and trying act innocense for fuck sake. I really hate this kind of shit personality. I don't really find her likeable. I only manage to complete the whole season because of the interaction between Yor and Roid, they are much much better than Anya. |

Congratulations you just sum up a child. That is NOT the case for most child that age in term of anime, simple example would be Barakamon, Usagi drop, etc. This Anya is just annoying and stupid. |

| Having binge read most of the manga before I completed this, I'm proud of this anime adaption. It is extremely faithful throughout the whole story except for one subtle change and adding extra to another two, (if I reviewed and remember correctly). The person who leads Anya back to Loid on their first day together when she's squeezed by a crowd is a man, not a woman. As for the two scenes which included more than the original is the castle save the princess play and the dodgeball game. In the manga, there's only mention from Anya of her training for dodgeball with Yor after the end of the match, but in the anime they added scenes of that training which were completely nonexistent in the original. As for the Save Princess Anya play, in the manga, they use a table as Anya's prison, while Frankie announces drunk Yor as his witch, which is when her fight against Loid happens which ends briefly just like the anime, but there was never any help or a crowd from Loid's company to create a realistic atmosphere of that kidnap setting. ... Anyway. As for this first quarter anime adaption of the manga's 17 chapter, it is a great start to the story and what the anime added which is logical to its identity was great. The premise itself on its own is great. The best spy in a organization being tasked with a mission to kill a man by getting close to him through a family. Forced to now have a family, he adopts a child who's a psychic mind-reader and marries a female assassin, unbeknownst to him. This complex dynamic trio all attempting to hide their secret identities with each other, surrounded by the inclusion of a child who can read the mind of both fake parents is an astounding method to give incredible insight to each character through the mind of a child. In a world of inside war for peace from the West versus the East, with both parents slowly becoming normal and sane with love, with one being a killer who's awkward, and a spy who's mostly emotionless and pretending. It is amazing, not solely for the story itself, but those three main characters. The comedy doesn't really take away from this dramatic story even if each of their dark past is somewhat forgotten and ignored from the rest of the story/themselves being occupied with their life. Nonetheless, it does give hints and at times reveals each character's points of sadness to their life and who they are. In Loid, a lonely helpless child in despair who became a spy with the goal to have no one like him through peace, ... While Anya and Yor are less clear, even though none have had their full backstory revealed yet, (At least from what I've read so far in Volume 9). We do know that Anya has been adopted four times and has escaped somehow from being experimented by scientists since she was even younger than now, and that both her real parents may be dead. As for Yor, with deceased parents herself, she took care of her younger brother and was capable in providing a decent living through her only talent of killing. Each have their goals and fears while hiding their identity. Loid's mission is to get close to Donovan Desmond and kill him for peace before he starts a grand war. Yor's goal was to protect her brother Yuri, but her security is to keep this family to avoid suspicion if she stayed single. As for Anya, her goal is purely to not be abandoned and keep this family. On the surface, as a fake family hiding their identities, that is their main goals, but they're each growing to love and care for each other even with their conflicting emotions to it not being fully real. Although that conflict is mainly on the parents, since Anya genuinely likes them. Except she still loves her real mother, whatever happened to her, so we don't know how she truly feels. Action-wise in technicality, there are very few moments where the animation to the model's movements aren't flawless, but regardless, for the most part the scenes of action are fairly pleasing to watch. This trio's dynamic is great. Anya being the mission's method to get close to Mr. Desmond by becoming an honor student, while hating to study for being forced into it since she was experimented, being somewhat stupid in academics and being a learning little girl who enjoys watching Bondman a spy anime and craving for fun and joy from (mostly) Loid and Yor is adorable. Her hidden dark past, cute funny personality, doing her best to help Loid succeed in her mission while having her own troubles from what she likes, dislikes, or what she learns from her dangerous parents, Damian bullying her, and utilizing her ability to her advantage or to help others, along with her overall super cute personality is the best. Loid's talent as the best spy and now various cracks of perfections from the difficulty of handling this family while being overworked with other side missions and very slowly growing genuine emotions of care for Anya and Yor, especially Anya since the beginning is a beautiful journey to see. Yor's is more complicated with the incoming potential of her own identity and her brother being an enemy of Loid. Her awkwardness and slow blossoming love for Loid is intriguing as well. Damian himself is also intriguing as a child who wants his father's attention who can't get it, and is a source to the mission, who is tasked to have his father killed which Anya is helping on yet I doubt realizes that fact of his father being planned to get murdered. The side characters each do a good job in adding to the complicated situation of each main character. ... The only worrying sub-plot in this great story is Yuri, Yor's brother. As long as his love for Yor never goes legit onto a incest route where he attempts to push genuine romantic or sexual feelings onto his blood sister, this story shouldn't gain flaws at the trajectory it's going. After Chapter 17 to Volume 8, there are moments with the classmates and lack of missions where it gets a tiny bit dull, but at the point where the action resumes, it's great again. Overall, Spy x Family remains a strong 8/10 though. |
