| Spy x Family was supposed to be the seasonal anime. However, the ending of Kaguya Sama S3 managed to make Kaguya S3 really well-loved, beating out Spy x Family as the most-loved show of the season. Do you think Kaguya S3's ending is actually better than Spy x Family? I asked a similar question on the Kaguya S3 board and so I'm making a thread here to control for bias. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Well if you’re talking about last episodes only, then yes, Kaguya sama had a better ending. If you’re talking about the whole season, then I liked SxF more. |

I asked a similar question on the Kaguya S3 board and so I'm making a thread here to control for bias. bro stfu, kaguya sama was consistently good and the fandom loved it throughout. and fyi, a lot of viewers dont rate an anime until its airing is over, and once liw finished airing, many people such as me rated it and hence the rating unlike spy x family which got the rating purely out of hype for the first 2 episodes and went down. stop making these stupid pointless threads and get a fucking life. if you feel sxf is better then rate it highly thats all |
| I am a manga reader, I can't tell which one will be better but personally, I liked SxF more. In the manga, SxF and Kaguya seem to be building up to something serious The fun is over guys. |

| Besides the 'Kaguya-sama is S3 and the confession was a good ending', there's one thing that is pretty clear: SxF episode 12 doesn't feel like an ending, not even close. For example, other seasons of Kaguya-sama ends in a way where, while it isn't the end end, it can be taken as one. SxF last episode feels more like a normal one rather than a 'oh, part 1 is over'. Also I miss Bond :( I thought he would appear as to close part 1, sad. There's also the fact that SxF had its hype during the first 5 eps then went down while Kaguya skyrocketted on the ending. |

| Spy x Family is kind of overhyped. However, it's really damn good. As in it meets my expectations but not beyond it. Kaguya S3 on the other hand blew me away, especially because of the last episode. It was unexpecting because I expected it to be another ROMCOM fun and happy time again. My lord, I even cried. Cried harder than when I was watching Spy x Family (but I do admit that I cried more in Spy x Family, though not as much compared to when I cried during the final episode of Kaguya S3). Kaguya S3 is something highly anticipated for fans who have followed it since S1 like me and Spy X Family is something highly anticipated as an adaptation of a highly regarded manga. I and a lot of us had a feeling that Kaguya will go BIG during this season and that Spy X Family on the other hand will be introducing itself and laying its foundations and showing that it's worth watching and how much it's worth. That's how I saw it, and because KS3 exceeded my expectations and Spy x Family did not, I believe that Kaguya indeed is better than Spy x Family. If solely judging based on S3 ending alone against Spy x Family? Then... I don't know and I don't want to answer. I'm sorry. But everything I wanted to say, even if it's not related to this thread is already said above. |
| Let's put it this way - KS S3 was much more consistent in its storytelling than SxF and therefore I was more engaged in its plot. SxF is twitching in convulsions between main mission, cute Anya simulator, difficulties of life under cover, school shenanigans and a touch of noir. There's no whole picture in it as you can shuffle the episodes out of their original position and not miss a beat. |
 |
| yes, Love is war has a better ending but SpyxFamily has a better start. they are both equally good shows |
| But spy family have 2 parts in first season right? |
 |
| I don't think it's a fair comparison because season 1 isn't over for SxF while S3 of Kaguya completed a pretty important arc that has been building up for the 3 seasons. This is why I kind of have a problem splitting an anime into 2 cour and spreading it into the fall (though I can see why they did it for SxF). I would be curious to see a breakdown in score by manga fans vs anime onlys for both series. I think if you're an anime only Kaguya might be more satisfying because it has a solid buildup and you know what to expect without reading the manga. Where as I've seen some complaints for SxF because of the heavy SOL component or being tired of following Anya's school adventures, which might feel like a weird pacing issue if you are an anime only that came in expecting more gag humor and or/action. I would also be curious to see the scoring in Japan vs MAL. MAL users are predominantly Western and my understanding is that this platform is not heavily used by Japenese people (please correct me if I'm wrong though). I'm a manga reader for both and I personally like SxF more. I like the adult cast, the SOL, and the buildup; where Kaguya's story kind of plateaued after the arc that this latest season covered, and the plot went a fantastical route that feels like an odd turn. At the end of the day though, scores are arbitrary. People have different definitions of what the scores mean to them, so an anime's value shouldn't be judged by the score, and the score shouldn't be used as a marker of someone's taste to attack other users. |

| For me: Kaguya-sama S3 > Spy x Family but Spy x Family > entirety of Kaguya-sama |
 |
| I still prefer Spy X Family as a whole because Kaguya S3 1st half was weak but I prefer Kaguya S3 ending than Spy X Family. |
| Literally everything > Kaguya S1. Who cares about S3 lmao |
| well well, your thinking is okay too, but spy Family ending is not the true ending for this season, second part will be the truth ending for ended spy Family 1st season, I think it's not quite right to compare it to the ending of Kaguya S3, especially since there will be more events that will come out in the second part of Spy Family later on. |

| I haven't experienced much of Kaguya-sama (it's in the list though), but I can see why the scores have sky rocketed. Like a lot of people have said already, it is both a season finale and a satisfying conclusion to an arc that's been building up for a long time. SpyxFamily, on the other hand, hasn't actually ended and the last episode showed isn't even a part of the main storyline, it's more like a little side story. The manga even lists the chapter it adapted as an "extra mission", while the main story chapters are plainly called "missions". Now, seeing as Kaguya-sama is already in season 3, it has an advantage SpyxFamily didn't have. It's rated mostly by people who were already fans. SxF, despite having a high score, is being rated by a lot of people who had different expectations from what they finally ended up getting. You can tell by the comments that most people who are giving it low scores are people who a) Didn't read the source material beforehand and b) were expecting something more along the lines of a noir film or action focused James Bond films, instead of a gag comedy with sparce serious moments sprinkled here and there. Dissappointed that the show is not living up to the "hype" when the show itself doesn't even bother building an actual "hype" whatsoever most of the time. So, I'm optimistic for SxF's future, 'cause future parts and seasons will be watched by people who know exactly what they have gotten into. |
| Is anyone seriously trying to compare the final episode of the hyped romcom franchise to the premiere season of the hyped spy action comedy? Did you create this thread just to cause another conflict? |

My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
I stopped buying volumes after the fireworks arc. Heard it got worse after the anime aired and I never went back. What did I miss? |
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.  |
| One episode of Kaguya-Sama is better than entire Spy x Family. |

It felt like the right time to drop it and also felt like an ending. I know Aka. After that he most likely didn't make it official or made a bs arc. Then he most likely turned his attention to his self insert and started focusing on the mobs and their misunderstandings. I mean the other main characters. I wish we had more stuff like Do Chokkyuu Kareshi x Kanojo, that's how you do a romcom. |

Yes, Ishigami and Iino a lot of attention and development, but Shirogane and Kaguya are The main characters and still having The most screentime, and the best arcs focus on them like festival arc and Ice Kaguya arc. Actually most of their development is because of the main characters. The development of Kaguya and Ishigami is very beautiful. At the beggining he is scared of her and Kaguya don’t think much of Ishigami. Now they have a great and wholesome senpai/kouhai relationship. Wait so I was right? Neat. |
I may make you feel but I can't make you think. |
| I gave the same rating to both series, because I can't put 8.5 and I preferred to round up (Plus I read this part in the manga and loved it). But you can't compare the beginning of a series, with the closing of another... As the end of an arc Kaguya S3 was perfect! This season of SxF is a very good start that will continue to reach a conclusion, which I hope will be equal to or better than Kaguya's. But yes, Kaguya S3 takes the "best of the season". We'll see what happens with part two of SxF. |
