Spy x Family Season 3

Despite occasional setbacks, Operation Strix has remained on track to extract sensitive information from the enigmatic politician Donovan Desmond. To this end, spy Loid Forger has managed to maintain his pretend family consisting of his telepathic daughter, Anya; assassin wife, Yor; and their clairvoyant dog, Bond. Still the only one aware of everyone's true identities, Anya tries to sustain the family's cohesion while working to befriend Donovan's son Damian, her Eden Academy classmate.

However, Anya's efforts instead earn her another Tonitrus Bolt, bringing her closer to getting expelled and jeopardizing the operation's success. Hearing the news, Loid faints from shock. In his unconsciousness, he reminisces about his tragic past and his journey to becoming a spy. Realizing what Operation Strix means to him and the world, Loid finds renewed motivation. Although they each work toward their own covert goals, the Forgers continue to cherish their chaotic yet blissful family life.

Spy x Family is one of those anime that I just can’t wait to watch every week. I find myself counting down the days until the next episode drops. The new season is finally here, and thankfully it’s just as good as the previous ones. The animation, the music, the visuals — everything is amazing.

It’s been a while since I read the manga, so I don’t remember exactly what’s coming next, but I have no doubt this season will be great.

The only thing I can criticize so far is the opening. It’s definitely the weakest one compared to the others. Don’t get me wrong — ... it’s not bad, but the previous ones were so much better! That’s the only part that left me a bit “disappointed.”

Other than that, I totally recommend it to everyone. It’s still as charming, funny, and full of heart as ever. I absolutely love the mix of sweetness and action in this series.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/13 eps)

This will seem as a strange thing to say for the early reviewers of this show, but SXF was never some spy thriller with tight plot continuity. Even back during the first season when the plot was setting up storylines that seemed to be heading somewhere, all you would be seeing about the show were memes about Anya. I personally never saw a single person praising the plot.

SXF, as shocking as it may sound to many at this point, is a feel good comedy. You watch it to relax and laugh after a hard time in school or work. I have seen plenty of comedy ... anime over the years and, trust me, nobody ever said he would run home to catch the next exciting episode of Urusei Yatsura or Konosuba. Oh, I can’t wait to see the Earth Defense Force having an epic battle with those alien invaders! And don’t forget that demon lord that threatens to destroy the world! People watch these shows to laugh and relax, not to bite their fingernails in anticipation for what comes next.

SXF is a silly comedy about a psychic girl doing silly things with her silly spy dad and silly assassin mom. There is never going to be plot continuity worth giving a damn. There is never going to be deaths of major characters that will forever scar the survivors. It’s not a Craig James Bond type of spy thriller. It’s silly fun.

Is it an amazing anime that will be remembered as some subversive masterpiece? No, but it does its job as a distraction while you watch it. You forget your worries for awhile and then you go back to your cubicle, fantasizing about letting your manager taste some of those Yor home cooked meals.

Genuinely what the fuck are we even doing at this point?

Where is this show going? Is it still about spies? Are we still preventing that war? Are Loid and Yor falling in love? Is this a comedy? A romance? A serious political thriller? A slice of life with a massive ensemble cast doing mundane bullshit for 3 seasons?

Like most people were back when season 1 first aired, I was impressed at how charming, colorful, and exciting the first few episodes of this show were. It's got a pretty solid initial hook that seems rife for an interesting double life story- a world class ... spy needs to create a fake family to infiltrate a prestigious private school and make contact with a politician bent on starting a war. That last part is very important- "make contact". I remember thinking to myself after those first few episodes: "Wow! This is so fun! I can't even imagine what's going to be happening three seasons and a movie from now when Loid is well past that initial goal of making contact with this guy and the exciting spy espionage story gets going!"

And here we are three seasons and a movie into this shit and Loid has barely even made it to the first step of this incredibly important plan. In fact, we haven't even touched this storyline since the end of season 1.

Spy x Family is an unending list of increasingly bad ideas that get thrown out immediately for even worse ones. As I said, we start with by far the strongest plotline this show has, only to toss that shit into a fire pretty much instantly to focus on bad side characters that contribute literally nothing of value (except Fiona, absolutely goated character). Remember how we set up a really interesting moral dilemma of Loid adopting an orphaned girl to use as a pawn in his operation, the implication being he's planning on throwing her back out onto the streets as soon as he's done with her? Yeah, me neither. Forget about that. Remember how Yor's brother works for the state police and presents a serious threat to Loid's mission, and you're thinking Loid might be left with no choice but to kill him? Who cares? Next. Remember how Yor is an assassin who brutally murders people from the criminal underworld? That sounds boring! Who fucking cares why she's doing that or how she starting doing that in the first place!

Now we're finally getting Loid's backstory, possibly the most interesting thing this show has done in 20 episodes aaaaand it's over in 1.5 episodes. Thank god, I was almost enjoying myself for a few minutes there. Finally, we can finally get back to Yor being bad at cooking again without skipping a beat!!!

I feel like there's so many ways you could take this initial premise, yet routinely the show decides to pick the least interesting and most off topic option possible. For instance, the double life plotline is such a good place to start. Outside of one or two scenes early on, there's absolutely no pressure in the plot put on Loid or Yor to hide their respective secrets from each other. You would think that Loid, being the 'worlds greatest spy' that he is, would be able to deduce that something is up with his pretend wife. Like, what? Isn't his entire job investigating people and gathering information? The fact that he doesn't know she's an assassin is actually insane and completely undermines his legitimacy. This is the guy we're trusting with the mission to prevent the deaths of millions of innocents? That's another thing. Loid has to be the actual worst spy of all time- every single time he's presented with a challenge perfectly equipped for his skillset, like forging documents, tricking people, infiltration... Loid just decides he "can't" for some contrived reason, and is left to rely on Anya, a six year old with zero academic skills whatsoever, to somehow get into the school's most prestigious academic club completely on her own merits. What we're left with is Anya... going to school normally... and Loid... just kinda... hoping it all goes well, I guess? What is he bringing to table here exactly?

There's just nothing here. There never has been. There's no plot progression, no romantic progression between Loid and Yor, it won't fully commit to being a goofy slice of life show or a serious drama about preventing the horrors of war, and it lands nowhere as a result. For the love of god, can we just pick a lane?

Yes I will continue to watch this shit until it's over. It's so bad that I genuinely have to know how it ends so I can finally stop wondering what the author actually intended for this story. It would be awesome if the next 9 episodes of this show absolutely lock in and it becomes good suddenly, but somehow I don't think it will.
