I just watched the movie yesterday so you bet I’m hyped for the return of Spy x Family after two years! Missed it big time, this was a fun episode to return to, the first bit may have been a reintroduction of the family but Loid creating his own version of Battle Construction Vehicles really made it something special lol, but even if that construction worker was about to do something terrible, you gotta feel for the guy, he was overworked to death and decided to cause chaos because of it, hopefully he got to rest after his epic fight with Loid.

And the 2nd half of the episode was Fiona focused which I’m very happy about, pretty much my only complaint of Season 2 was the lack of Fiona content, then this season went and gave us a great bit with her right at the start lol, I’ll definitely take it. Franky really tried taking advantage of the situation but I can’t blame him since he had a 10/10 Gigastacy by his side, and this disguise was one of Fiona’s best yet, those scenes of her whooping ass in that dress were jaw dropping. And in the end it looks like Fiona came around on Franky, he’s a funny fella so I’m glad Fiona found something to like in him after hearing his reasoning for helping Westalis, not sure if Franky thinks it’s worth working with her again tho based on his reaction lol.

And I was gonna say wow that was a great ED, but that’s actually the OP? I loved it so there’s no issue for me, but I can’t deny it did seem more like an ED. Oh well, it’s good so who cares lol, the visuals were pretty unique too, it’s got me excited to see what they’ve cooked up for the ED.

I don't like Fiona being close to that pervert Franklin, or let's just call him Kribo, and the first episode was very boring, especially after such a long break since the previous season.

I haven't read the manga or the rest of the story, so this is just my opinion based on the first episode. I really don't like it because Fiona should only be close to Loid, not to other characters besides the main character.

The new episode was good but nothing special really it doesn't really move forward with the story. I guess there was a cool crane fight :|

Season One was just so good that everything following it just could not live up to the hype honestly.

Season 2 was ok but the movie was just horrible filler.

hopefully this season gets going with the main plot and stop being episodic

@jcadle Yeah, it felt off immediately (to a manga reader :D). It was indeed AO.

No "mecha" terrorist attack/fight happened. Franky and Fiona part was AO too but done very well. Loved that part. I welcome their decision to go original here. As a 1st episode of the season, they did kind of a "re-introduction" of characters with this one.

Looks like we're back to the source starting EP2.

No the Fiona x Franky chapter is in the manga main reason the community understandably started shipping them

Unfortunately, probably going to have to wait for the dub before watching the next one. This is one show I watched in English, and after watching this first episode, it just feels too weird to switch from the voices I'm used to hearing to the Japanese ones at this point.

Anyway, the second half of the episode was more interesting than the first. But overall, a bit disappointed that they didn't start off with a more meaningful beginning in terms of plot/character relationships with how short the season is going to be relative to season 1. That said, the "memories" part of the title of the next episode from the preview gives me hope the next one will be a bit more impactful.

Season starts with another filler episode. The first 12 episodes did so much to move the story forward but since then it feels like it's been treading water. Would be nice to have the plot move forward some. At least we goat more of the GOAT Fiona.

eh, not a big fan of this ep. it was essentially a recap of the characters.
though to be fair, i didnt remember them.

the first season took me by surprise when i finally gave it a chance, i hope s3 is decent. looks like we get back to anya's school next ep. i think those were my favorite scenes.

@Sigmar-Unberogen I love the Franky/Nightfall pairing. I always feel bad for her because of her obsession with Twilight. She deserves happiness, and so does Franky, haha

Good to see the family back together and being awesome. Franky and Fiona getting some together time was fun too. Will Fiona lose her fixation on Loid? I'm rooting for Yor's cooking skills to improve greatly this season.

The forgers a truely unique family of 4 lol. Parks are always a great way to relax at on days off. Though also a great setting for a battle of excavs to lol. Nice to see nightfall return. Ole The reactions of his friends to the GF was hillarious. That extraction op sure was fun though. An excellent opening to the new season.

"I wann go home and study. Gotta get new Stellas" Remember when those where a thing?

But seriously, is this going to be the season when finally something happens in the main plot? I don't dislike silce of life shows but every single episode you get reminded that there's supposedly something at stake and that something seems to have been suspended for a long time. Other than that, yeah, I like the action and the interactions but I can't get that feeling out of my head.

I do welcome the return on Spy X Family and it doesn't feel like it has been 2 years since it last aired. XD

The way the episode played out felt like I was in familiar territory with this series, with plenty of action and comedic moments that keeps me being entertained. Anya continues to be a cute little rascal whatever she does. Franky also continues to be funny in his own way, like how he used up a lot of time flexing his "date" to the other people he's familiar with at the club. He was brave enough to do that to Fiona, since he was wasting her time doing that!

The new OP song was pretty good, but I do love the artistic style it had going for it. Souvenir from S1 Cour 2 remains the best OP, but this new one is very good in its own right.

Whoever thought that starting the new season with a filler story should have been stopped. The story progression is already very slow as it is, if you are adding a filler at least make it different and meaningful on its own.

Also it is ok to lower the animation quality down but the depth adjustments should have stayed the same. Now it looks cheap.

Just a normal first episode... Except for Fiona sexy action and FrankyxFiona. LOL.
That's going to be the OP song? It's suitable for ED song for me.... Can't wait to see the ED song on the next episode.

We're so back. Anya saves the day only to meet a grisly fate. Nightfall meets Franky and we get a glimpse into Franky's life. Dude is pretty well connected and competent in his own way.

It was okay. I'd like to see progress into the main story, with the family secrets uncovered little by little. Dealing with the fallout would be exciting. It's only episode one, so I can't be too critical—I am not up to date on the manga—but the tropes are getting stale.

The first segment isn’t something I recognize from the manga another bonus mission or something?

Also - the angry construction worker - wasn’t that the same guy who was printing false magazine articles that Yuri apprehended in a stakeout story last season and he had a ailing father? Or am I misremembering?

Waku Waku to season 3.

Anya & bond cute moments as usual while saving the day. Loid and yors facial expressions when anya said she wants to study priceless xD

Then we got our little covert operation/"date". I loved it ngl. Franky going around flexing his new "gf" xD
But in serious Fiona showing off her skills was cool as usual but Franky stepping it up not only saving Fiona but also leading them out to safety. My boy getting it done.



Ngl and i know Fiona is too hard wired for loid rn but i can see it, i definitely see it them being a couple. Maybe i have a new ship now



They have good chemistry and i like their dynamics too. Also them having same initials too? (jk i know i am reaching too much now)

Anyways nice episode to start season 3
@Kipo0007 Interesting for me is the other way around, I couldn't connect with that ship.
