I love the teacher he's so funny. I wish Anya read minds more proficiently lmao

I'm excited to see how it plays out for Anya, she's still growing up so who knows, maybe she'll mature more throughout the episodes. It was refreshing to see her care about her studies. Children are really compassionate

Like in “one bad apple can spoil the barrel,” it refers to a person who can have a bad influence on the whole group.

Thanks for the context. That makes a lot of sense.

10/10. Tea snacks worth it. I am gonna be honest, if it wasn't for anya, I would not even care to watch this show, since I do not enjoy plotless stories (I can only watch one season at best.) But Anya is way too funny to ignore. Loid and Yor is funny too, but Anya is kinda dumb since she is a kid, so it is even funnier. It is like watching your little cousin do dumb shit but still enjoy his/her time.

The Anya segments were adorable gold. The other segment seemed to be centered around propagandization of media. They absolved the guy from being guilty of any of the claims which made the final segment black vs white morality. I wonder how the series would have treated the entire event if the news was true. That would make it more morally grey. All that thought aside though, it was good plot.

The blonde agent guy at the start got the kabedon of a lifetime even if it was a scary one. Funny tho. I was like ''please hit him, please hit him'' after he fully swapped teams and she actually ended up doing it. Love handler tho. She easily became one of my favorite chars after one of the episodes where she stopped talking to the radical activists who were gonna bomb folks (I can't remember what season). The fact that two people are shouting and fighting and no one sees it is a bit weird though even if you are distracted...but ye, its a comedy still x)

edit: oh ye https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1mp76er/have_you_spy_x_family/

I was a bit disappointed at the visual quality of this episode. The first two episodes of this season were really beautiful and detailed (3 was okay) but it's like they went from 4k to 480p in this ep. Some of the shots with Handler looked terrible lol.

I know she's only 5, and it's maybe meant to come off as endearing, but my god Anya is annoying in this episode.

Not going to count it against her or the anime ofc, because again, she is 5, but I'm definitely watching the show for Loid and Yor and not her!

Since I read the manga I usually know if a weaker episode is coming up and while I sometimes get a pleasant surprise, this one unfortunately was none. That is, judging by how good this show usually is, so I still enjoyed it, even if it didn't meet that standard.

Next episode looks promising again too!

One of the weaker episodes tbh. It's still good but the setup is VERY well established and explored by now what we badly need is some serious and extended PLOT.

Another perfectly fine episode of Spy x Family. I'm mostly just waiting for the next couple of arcs from the manga, but I must admit even I'm getting Spy x Family fatigue at this point. It's a fun enough story but I'm tired of it's spinning it's wheels. Still love watching these goofballs interact, though!

It's lovely to see how Handler and her crew are handling a scandal to mitigate the conflict between the East and the West. I like the second part of this episode better because it develops Henderson-sensei and Anya's educational and personal relationship. It's also because I love the dynamic between Anya and Henderson. That's why, I couldn't wait for this episode to be aired.

Man, this truly isn't something people who like seeing the plot move will enjoy, lmao. All I can say is that at least the majority of the episodes moving forward will be great, despite having another like, 1-2 filler episodes this.

With a coworker like that, no wonder Sylvia always contacts Loid for side missions.

Solid first half but I liked the second half more. Anya's interactions with Professor Henderson were just lovely.
Also not gonna lie, it would have been kinda funny if Loid actually collapsed for a second time and we get more flashbacks for the next two episodes again.

Handler still have the strength to fight enemy~ So elegant.
But then she have the body ache because she's haven't doing action for a long2 time it seems...
But she said because of her age... Is she really that old? Maybe she's on her 40s...

Anya part, not bad~ Glad the Elegant sensei is with Anya side most of the time.

Oooooh, that next preview~ must be a better episode.

As expected, we are falling again in the Random part of the anime. This episode was pointless and uninteresting, the only thing that carried it is the bit of humor done with Anya. Fortunate she's here, without her, I think there would be a long time since I would've dropped the show.

A little hope for next time ? Maybe I expect too much.

Welp, the opera folk singer of Jonas Wellman sent to improve relations between the East and the West, ended up being in the biggest scandal both countries have seen, and this is quite the job for WISE to control the West's narrative. However, with rumours spreading fast, Handler Sylvia Sherwood taking things into her own accord against the newbie rookie agents, it's a delicate state of affairs, to which other than Loid, only she can pull it off for secret assailants wanting murder on Wellman. It just proves one thing: using your brain is better than trusting in tabloids filled with lies.

Back to school with Anya, and the road home in helping Mr. Elegant Headmaster while forgetting that she has earned her 2nd Tonitrus Bolt no thanks to Schlag, and the misunderstandings just keeps coming on the road to becoming an Imperial Scholar for Loid's sake. That certainly fueled the Headmaster to help guide Anya onto its tracks, though most of the work depends on Anya herself to excel.

The Forgers hand at work, and Anya putting in her best efforts...in Loid's Tonitrus Bolt PTSD form, what else can really shake him?

So Handler, or Secretary Sherwood (which is likely an alias, like Loid Forger) is handling training a new guy who seems to blindly believe whatever he sees in the news. One day he went from believing that Jonah Wellman was a scumbag to claiming that he saw through the news all along. Luckily he’s in good hands, but I wonder why this guy joined the Organization to begin with, or if it was a similar situation to Twilight in which he was forced to join. Speaking of, it seems that Handler had to take care of Twilight’s preconceived notions as well.

It makes me think, do things like this happen in the real world. People paying others to create scandals to make somebody look bad in order to gain or maintain some kind of societal power?

On Anya’s side of things, it seems the sole reason she helped Mr. Henderson was simply to get some snacks and she didn’t want to go over her quiz or improve her academic performance in any way, and when she got home to ask Twilight to help her study, he thought she got another Tonitrus Bolt since that has gotten too common with her.

I am interested in what we saw in the preview, because it might be Yor focused.

With Loid needing a bit of rest after Anya's tonitrus bolt news, we got to see Sylvia in the field. She's one cool lady.

Mr Henderson's advice may have went over Anya's head, but at least those snacks of his hit the right spot.

I was about to complain about the lack of Yor in the first 4 episodes until I saw the preview for the next episode. Still have to say after four episodes this is the weakest Spy x Family season so far.
@Gator It gets better Yor is about to have a very important arc adapted that will have a small change to the rest of the story. Yor will show up more than just next episode unless they put this arc into one episode.

You know, I suspect that Handler has gotten softer with age, based off of how skilled she was with that belt. Nightfall might have picked up some tricks from her, like in that one mental image Anya saw in the episode when they meet.

Poor Master Henderson. Teaching Anya must be an unique experience.

@Gator Thanks good to hear I'm tired of hearing so many people are crapping on this season when the chapters they had to adapt weren't good to begin with. The series does improve over these problems and get rid of stories fans don't want and give us stories we do want and I feel like it's only a matter of time we get Yor and Loid end up in a real relationship since fans are begging for it along with Anya's full backstory and why she cried at the interview. I'm not caught up to the manga's recent chapters, so I can't confirm what the latest arc is.

I get that it's a kid's show, but that newbie working under Sherwood was infuriating. How did he even get a job in intelligence? Can't even keep his mouth shut.

Anya and Henderson bonding (kinda) was pretty entertaining and somewhat saved the episode. I like how Anya is still a dumb brat at the end of the day. "Education is hard."

I liked the teacher and Anya's spend time. Anya sure didn't get it what the teacher meant but at least she car read his mind.
The ending how Anya looked at Loid collapsing was hilarious!
