Spy × Family

• In short, without spoiling anything: it's a lovely story that, even if it doesn't bring unbelievable plot twists as the episodes progress, still manages to consistently entertain and amuse the viewer. What more could you ask from an action-comedy like this?

• SPY×FAMILY is the first mainstream anime to come out in a very long time that I can confidently say is worth the hype. I mean, it might be a bit overhyped, but what isn’t these days? I expected a generic, uninteresting, gimmicky piece of shounen-action trash, and what I got was a clever and oh-so-endearing slice of life with lovable characters, fantastic visual set pieces, a brilliant setting, and, if you can believe it, a genuinely funny sense of humor and gut-busting comedic timing.

• Spy x Family has all the key ingredients to make a classic family sitcom. It's got a memorable family with funny and heartwarming character dynamics, wacky situations that spiral out of control, in addition to its kickass action animation and poignant commentary about lies and family.

• If I said it once, I've said it a hundred times. Spy x Family is a contender for anime of the year. Yes, a show like this isn't absolute perfection but for what it has shown us, it captured just about everything I had expected and perhaps more. This is the type of show that is a refreshing breath of air that we need more often.

• Even though it's about spies, watching them gradually become a real family around Anya is deeply heartwarming. The frantic undercover spy antics behind the scenes are hilarious too. It has that Jump magic—accessible, appealing to everyone, and wonderfully crafted storytelling.
