That was a pretty uneventful episode for ending such a great show. But I guess it does what Loid wants, portrays them as a "normal" family haha

Definitely not an overhyped show, very enjoyable. The three main characters are all entertaining in their own right. My favorite is probably Yor followed by Anya, but Loid is also cool. Comedy is great, animation by Wit and CloverWorks is just amazing. Looking forward to part 2. 9/10

I really enjoyed spy family I wasn’t expecting too. Taking 2 years off from watching saniek and they’re a lot of bangers I’ve missed. Can’t wait for part2 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ฏโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™

Note: This only covers the first season because i am not watching anymore beyond this.
Here’s a show that was quite popular when it began airing and is now mostly forgotten because of the ridiculous amount of fluff that comes out every season. This show is overhyped and carried by solely animation because the community doesn't have taste in anything. You can't watch a show solely because it's pretty. Various generic premises are glued together, but that passes for originality these days. Anime keeps getting more and more lazy to understand what is even going on. They made this only for the sake of promoting to casuals who will eat it up like gluttony the sin of food. Nothing in it is memorable. This is today's anime industry. Pretty colors and badly written anime like this.
Let's jump into the problems
The Story is nothing special:
The story begins with trying to make you care about the protagonist because he has suffered a lot, lost everything, and is risking his life for children when in reality this doesn't make you care more than an episode. He keeps switching job as a spy undercover - which has him be a family member only to later get close to the target and stop being in a false illusion he claims people live in modern life. This is just a self-insert Spy shit you can get anywhere. The show feels like it was made in the 90s it would of done better. Like, there isn't anything special with this story. It has been done before. We've seen it. But this doesn't even stand out from the former or the latter. The shows want you to think this is gonna be a Spy show but ends up like a slice of life/sitcom I've seen before. When it switched the focus on our main trio it often leads to haphazard filler episodes. Like, take me back to the good days when Cartoons had more creative filler episodes than this.
The characters are badly written:
Flyod is just a self-insert Spy who can hide behind his own masks and is pretty strong, but what makes him boring is that fact there is nothing special about him or his character. He has a tragic backstory but what is that when most of his character is shallow and dry. There are better characters than this loser. You are also supposed to completely ignore the fact that nobody came to his help as a child. You know, a relative, a teacher, the police, public service, a neighbor, anyone in general. It’s like watching Elfen Lied all over again, nobody does anything for the sake of overblown drama. This makes me believe that anime is nowadays less creative even on it's characters. Yor is just a weird person. She has a special power that allows her to be good in combat, but her weakness is beer/alcohol when she takes too much. It runs in the family when you think about it. Her purpose is that she is more of a waifu than a typical sub-version of shounen girls. What made it worst is that she has a brother who has a sister complex. Ewwww. This whole show is making me want to an actual harem for once. Then there is Anya. Her one gimmick is to be a bratty gimmick. She likes peanuts. She hates homework, which is good, but what makes it bad is that she is more of a self-insert kid than a regular kid. Why do you think people like her? Anya memes of course. The rest of the cast is more cliches and troupes of previous characters. At least they have good chemistry, but that writing for them is so terrible. Oh, boy do i have a problem for that topic.
The Writing is based off the manga and it's not original:
Hear me out. Once again we had to watch another manga be turn into an anime all because people want to watch something and not read it or vice versa. Look, it doesn't have to be this way for everyone to say it's peak fiction when you read it years ago. People tell us that his peak fiction when most of the anime is 99% comes from Manga/Light Novel. There is nothing good about it. This is what the manga did better. Why are you making us think this is original when it's just another generic white toast battle shounen.
The Comedy is Bad:
A lot of jokes are cringe and thus impossible to be enjoyed by anyone who doesn’t like boredom and bullshit. As much as the fans say it’s an acquired taste, those jokes are plain nasty. Also having stuff like refusing to do homework and drinking wine further proves this anime is anything but mature for modern jokers.
The Music is blant and souless:
Don't get me wrong. Music is important, but this doesn't have that. Most of the time i feel like playing a video like Kingdom Hears and listening to Yoko's ost Track than this soulless anime that has generic music. Anything else i missed out on? Oh right!
12 Episode Doesn't make it good or decent:
We have been over this a thousand times. Anime only has fewer episodes and more focus on its seasonal messages than going for more episodes to span out time. This one is only 12 episodes. Which is am counting it's a split season because that is where the show gets messy from here on. This is mostly the production quality's fault since it wasn't 100% confirmed why it had a season split. This is why anime became a cheat cash grab to make us think it's for everyone.
Final Verdict: I prefer Married with Children over this cringe feast. Like make me short. It doesn't a hold candle even after 10 or 20 have passed. This feels like another cash crab I believe people gone and eat it up because it was popular. Remember when i said popularity = problems. No one listens to me.

Loid is being pushed to the limit with all the missions. He never fails, though.

Seeing Loid and Yor following Anya outside with the toy robot and stuffed penguin was certainly entertaining.

This show is great so far! I'll start watching the second part right away! :)

"Aw, what a sweet family" - YES, YES THEY ARE!

I came into this for a serious, deep thinking espionage saga and stayed for the heartwarming hilarity. The best part is watching how the Forgers get closer even as they continue to maintain their covers. Take your time with operation STRIX because I'm in absolutely no rush to reach the end of this trio's charades.

Easily a 9/10. Elegant and brilliant!

Another wholesome episode, where we got to see more Family time for Forgers, but also some more spy missions! Loid is being overworked, but is still a great father for Anya (although it's for the "mission"). That last part where they just play along with Anya's fantasies was so cute, as a spy Loid always did everything to not be noticed, and now everyone was looking at him and Yor xD
Was expecting a cliffhanger ending for the episode though, since this was the last episode of Part 1 of Season 1, but well, for me it's not a big difference, because I will just watch the next part right away. Will refrain from giving it a score right now, because I'm still unsure about the score, so I will watch the 2nd part to decide on the final score for this season.

Here we are at the end of part. It did take me awhile to finish this show but after coming back to watch last episodes i can say it was very enjoyable. I liked this last episode with the penguin exhibit.

overall 8/10

Challenges helicopter parenting and the idea of a perfect child. Cute family time even during a spy mission or assassination mission.

Anya has some good scenes, but Loid and Yor definitely spoil her too much. It's normal and healthy to set boundaries with children. Let them get mad, cuz the world doesn't revolve around them...

Anyways, overall funny episode!
