Anything other than a 5/5 for this episode is clearly rated by someone who did not pay attention. This show does everything right, and it does a great job providing an introduction to 2 of the main characters. Usually first episodes tend to be a little unoriginal and have a hard time starting up, but this episode gives action while providing insight on Twilight and Anya. I have a feeling by the time this anime ends, it will be in my favorites.

Nice! But somehow feels a bit rushed in the anime.
It also felt like the jokes were funnier in the Manga. is it because I've already read the Manga? happened with anyone else?

It feels rushed because it's almost a 1:1 translation from chapter 1. I know because I just read/watched them together. It's super tight, lol.

I'd imagine moving forward, the pacing will be a little bit more relaxed since chapter 1 is around 70 pages long and the others are 30 or less (chapter 2 is actually about 60 so it might be a similar pacing to this one).

Honestly, it does move fast, but it's not a bad adaptation at all, unlike *cough* God of High School *cough*

people were saying it's... wholesome? how tf is this wholesome? this is sad af. It just fucked up my mind now, and I'm gonna keep thinking about it for a few days, it just ruined everything, I was doing so good in keeping myself away from a sad show

Huh? Spy x Family isn't a sad show. It has sad moments, but for the most part it's very upbeat.

That was a hella great first episode and the thing I’m most relieved about is that Anya’s VA didn’t decide to go wacky with her voice. She just sounds and acts like a real life kid (thank god)

Next thing I’m happy about; Loid be looking hella fine like he does in the manga! 😍

The next episode is gonna be awesome with Yor introduced and those action scene with this high quality animation is gonna be so epic!

Good episode! Looks very pretty, good mix between action and "chill" scenes and explanation, interesting characters and fun plot so far.

Anya for sure is a cutie. I would like to adopt her and Boji from Ousama Ranking please.

ps. Could people stop rating a show when it's not finished yet? Last time I checked it ranked #11 on MAL overall. My peeps. Chill and wait~

Yes, hopefully it would be better. Someone already mentioned it in a reply to my previous forum post. But I've realised that the problem isn't actually that it is a 1:1 with the Manga. The actual problem is tight and non flexible TV schedules. I mean, if they could, the episode could have been 30 mins long, just enough time to adapt every thing. If the anime was broadcasted not on the TV but digitally just like the Manga I imagine the situation would be completely different.

It was a good episode. The plot got me from the start, so I knew exactly what I was supposed to watch at all. Just expected that the mother got introduced from the start too, but it was not something bad.

Also, I expected that Anya would act more like an adult, but I loved seeing her reactions as just a normal kid.

It was easy to predict how the relationship between Twilight and Anya would develop in this episode, but the charisma and this lovely aura that comes from her is so heartwarming that you truly wants to see her protected and happy - I'm absolutely Anya addicted hahahahahaha! -.

SPY x Family is my best shot for this Season. Hope it doesn't disappoint me. Until next episode, guys. Cheers!

I don't know about the source but this first episode is really something. It feels freshening to watch something like this again. The kid is so adorable and Twilight is kinda badass.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

As someone who hasn’t read the manga, I thought the pilot was really rushed, to the point where I had to double check the duration of the episode, as well as the playback speed of the video (some of the dialogue literally felt like it was on 2x). I guess Wit Studio and CloverWorks wanted to pack as much as possible in that first episode to give the viewers a good overview of what the series is about, and what’s to come. Not sure if the story will unfold at a much slower/normal pace in later episodes (I hope so), but I liked the VA and the overall production value, so I’ll keep an eye on this anime. If anything, it made me want to pick up the manga ASAP, so there’s that.

It was ok however I think they should have used more time to make the Spy dude get attached to Anya cus like that’s obviously out of character and that’s kinda the point but I feel like If they used more time it would have been better seeing him get more and more to start to carr about her and in this first episode maybe he should have not cared at all then care for her little by little instead of knowing her like one day and then just risking a lot to save her and all that. Anyways Idk how it’s like in the Manga which it is based on but if it’s like that in the Manga also then I guess it’s ok as they have to be Manga accurate.

"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

the pacing was a bit fast but that is a minuscule thing in an otherwise excellent first episode.

Plot premise seems super duper fun. Really curious to see if they can keep this level of excitement up.

Characters seem really likeable. I already love the interactions between Mr.Spy and Anya!

The production was absolutely flawless! Not surprised though, the staff is stacked. Hope the schedule isn't so horrible so they can keep up the high quality.

also the ed song was so freaking chill. good vibe.

Looking forward to more!!

I think you have misconception about Spies. Spies are unsusng heroes of a country. Loid himself said that he wants to creates a world where children don't have to cry. So Anya being child who got kidnapped from his place his enough reason for him to save her.

He did said it sub conscious, Loid have a past like Anya except no one stretch their hand to help him.

It's become a tradition for Wit to make excellent first episodes and this is no exception once again. Easily, the best thing about the episode was the directing. Even after all these years and Furuhashi has still got the same flow in his episodes. The voices are another peak point for this. Every single of the tones were nailed, especially for Loyd. Ending's a banger. Going to the manga once this part ends airing and easily the best pilot episode of the season. Absolutely deserves the score.


@rizuxizu Not too bad?? 3.1% for late-night timeslot is excellent.

Interesting fact... Spy x Family episode 1 have not been approved to be released on official platform bilibili yet. Anya cuteness is indeed a terrifying weapon, I can't fault the country and CCP for being afraid of the ultimate cuteness.

It already have insane amount of followers for the anime and views despite not being released and was considered the most anticipated anime over there even ahead of CSM. There is a big chance we will see it overthrow JJK over there and even Demon Slayer that is if it get released on time.

Oh wow, watched this today and its really not a disappointing time i waste right there. Pretty much out of my expectation and its surely on the positive note. The va also did a god work too, Hachiman doing a badass cool action spy role? There we go, the Twilight. And don't forget about the cutie smart kid, Anya, the va from my beloved loli from a previous one season wonder, Juju-sama. Oh wow, great serve i got here, and such a sweet end like that closed the episode with a great bang. A well done episode, and i can't even wait for Yor to join the happy family. So lets just end my line just right there and wait for the next sunday...
