Today I’m going to review the overnight web sensation anime Spy x Family. In this article, you will get the most detailed review of spy x family 2022. The first season of this spy comedy series set the internet on fire which was released in early 2022. It contained 12 episodes. Currently, season 1 part 2  is airing from 1st October. 

It is a Japanese manga written by Tatsuya Endo. This anime is based on a cocktail of comedy action and a geopolitical cold war between two nations Westalis and Ostania. Resulting of the circumstances, Westalis sent their best agent Twilight on a secret mission. For the sake of this mission, Twilight has to make a dummy family. This family wasn’t ordinary. After forming it, what goes through their life is the main story of this anime.

At the start of the season, Loid came to adopt a child for his mission where he found Anya. She was previously returned from four different families.

Yor is the tritagonist of this series. Everyone knows Yor as a simple girl who works as an ordinary clerk at Berlint City Hall, but we discovered Yor as a Garden Assassin with the code name  “Thorn Princess”.Yor looks so simple but she is so brutal at fighting skills.

Bond Forger is the pet dog of forgers previously known as Subject 8. This dog isn’t an ordinary one. It is made in research facilities under Project <Apple> which was intended to create highly trained dogs for military purposes.

To maintain the peace between the two rival nations, Westalis and Ostania, Westalian spy “Twilight” was assigned by the department for “OPERATION STRIX” for spying on Donovan Desmond, leader of the National Unity Party within Ostania. Donovan is suspected by Westalis agents that he is trying to break the peace effort between Westalis and Ostania.

In order to get close to Desmond to track his suspicious activity, Loid has to enroll a child at Desmond’s son’s school, Eden Academy, and help the child to be an imperial scholer with 6 stellas to meet Desmond at a social gathering.

To accomplish the mission and establish an image of a happy family Twilight creates the alias of Loid Forger, who adopted a child, Anya, and bonded Yor Briar on account of a fake marriage. But everyone tries their best to act as a perfect family in society. But accompanying this everyone is also set and focused on their own mission and goal. Now how this family manages their circumstances to complete their individual mission is the main story and future interest of millions of anime fans. 

Spy X Family Plot Twist

Twist No.1

Loid and Yor both are completely in the dark about their true identities and professions. But here’s a question arrives how could the sharpest spy in the nation(yes we are talking about Mr.Twilight here), can completely don’t even have a clue about his fake wife’s profession? Even sometimes Yor showed her fatal skills in front of Loid, then why does Loid never suspect her?🥲 Hope we get this answer in upcoming episodes.

Twist No.2

Yor’s brother Yuri, who looks so simple, is also a fierce officer and brutal by his profession. But his one and only sister, whom he loves most, is completely in the dark about his profession. In the same way, Yuri doesn’t know that his loving elder sister is a brutal assassin. 

Twist No.3

Yor’s brother Yuri works for SSS and here’s the twist the organization considers Twilight as their biggest enemy and not only that Yuri and his organization are currently finding Loid(Twilight) like a sniffing dog. But Yuri doesn’t know that his sister’s husband Loid Forger is actually Twilight and Loid is also unknown of Yuri’s real identity.

Twist No.4

Here comes the ultimate and most funny twist about Anya. As a telepath, Anya knows everyone’s intentions and real identity. 

Spy X Family IMDB RATING  8.8/10

It has a very unique storyline with multiple twists which attract the audience very much. overall it will be worth watching anime. We will divide it into some different segments.

Fighting: 7/10

This anime only completed its first season with only 12 episodes. Major episodes were spent building the setup of the plot. So we had seen very few action scenes but those fewer scenes were so good and overpowered(Especially Yor)  and gave us hope for some bang in the second season.   

Comedy: 9.2/10

When it’s the question of the comedy scenario of Spy x Family, it is already winning fans’ hearts with its incredible and perfect comedy punches. Here the anime cracked an “X” factor with Anya’s perfect comedy style and activities.😂 The top-notch comedy scenes give the anime a special essence.

Character Development: 7.5/10

As we know the anime only released part 1 of season 1 with 12 episodes and is currently airing the second part. So major screen time was taken for set up. Very little character development we had seen in part 1. But in these few, the remarkable character development of Loid and Damian.  

a) Loid, who never cared about anyone, started to feel for this fake family which we expect will grow more with the progress of the mission.  

b) it seems that Damian is developing some feelings for Anya….no we are not talking about typical love though but it’s something. After Anya smashed Damian we saw a beautiful character chemistry between them. That was a fantastic mixture of friendship, enemy, and a feeling. In what way now this relation goes on is one of the most demanded questions of fans. Also, a famous dodgeball scene stole fans’ hearts. (No spoilers 🤣)

Plot: 8/10

The plot of this anime is the X Factor for the overnight success of this anime. The unique combination of comedy, spy, and the flavor of a meaningful geopolitical cold war situation between two countries made the audience amazed. So the plot seems too good though only 14 episodes are there. Hope it goes more amazing in upcoming episodes. 

Artstyle: 7.0/10

As we all know Artstyle is one of the main essences of an anime. Spy x Family has a decent art style that gives pleasure to the viewer’s eyes. The animation is quite good, especially the clothing, events, and houses of the 19th century are well described in this anime. As for the characters they are well developed and good too but they don’t have the sharp edge endings aside from that everything else is fine. Even the fighting scenes are smooth. 

Overall rating- 8.0/10

Overall as an anime fan, I can say that this anime is gonna burn the fan pages and will be worth watching for true anime fans. It is one of the best releases of 2022.
