Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (11/12 eps)
I never fell for the hype of this anime to begin with. Largely, I have been unimpressed with Spy x Family as a whole. From the very beginning it looked promising only to fall off into too much of a children's show based around Anya and her adventures. It hasn't done wonders for me with the finale coming this weekend. I have never been able to fully invest into any of the characters except for Fiona and that is about it. Yor, got some spotlight this season but she just may have suffered from too much lack of screen presence at points. Loid, is an ok character but it seems like everything with him is an internal conflict in his own mind. Anya, the less I say the better it is for my own health and well being. I have just not seen the appeal that this show has brought to many people. When I think of a show with a spy theme that has done wonders for me. I think of Spy Classroom overall, and there I am more invested in the characters than anything else. Spy X Family has been a huge mess this season, and I feel like too much filler has hurt what could have been a fantastic season if done with proper execution.

Update: I have finished Spy X Family now and my opinion has not changed. This anime is not drawing me in overall, and not a lot of the characters with the exception of Fiona. I am just giving my opinion on why I view this anime as a standard 5.5 to 6 out of 10 for me. This anime has not made me laugh, cry, or feel overcome with any joy overall. More times than not I have found myself cringing, shaking my head, or just left feeling embarrassed. I might be in the minority, but I have to say that Spy x Family is one of the most overrated animes that has gotten so much hype, and has failed to live up to my expectations.
