Sorry but not sorry. This is the most disappointing thing I’ve ever seen.

This anime is suffering from an identity crisis. You never know what the heck is the point or trying to show. Based on the poster, it’s obvious what’s about to happen. If you will compare the posters between the two parts, you will see the obvious difference. From an “amazing looking spy” show to a gag filler sitcom from OVAs.

“Spy x Family is perfectly blended with action and comedy...”

Cut that crap already!

I’ll keep this review short and to the point because no one thing in this show is worth mentioning.
The first part was okay despite being a disappointment. It showed a feel-good vibe with a spice of action, even the action should be the important factor in this show. The second part so far is absolutely the worst sequel I’ve ever seen. I’ve been waiting for this moment since I teased in my review from the first part that the sequel would be ridonkeylous. If I will get a percentage for the good parts in this part, it would be 3% and it’s from the Bond part. Right, that Bond part. Sorry for those people who said that this segment is well-written, but I will explain why this part is so bad.

A group of criminal guys who want to fuel a war between the two sides by bombing using dogs. Anya met this white fluffy dog (later called him Bond), but suddenly they were being hostage by those guys. The leader of the group said that his plan would be known and would be successful and no one could stop them. But suddenly, Anya got away. Okay, first of all, why wouldn’t they tie Anya first into a chair and put her in the middle when many of their men could see her? This guy is like: “YADA, YADA, YADA”, while he didn’t have the common sense to take care of his hostage. The whole situation perfectly worked for Anya and the author gave the most convenient situation, but in reality, he could have just killed Anya right away.

The second dumb thing is the bomb part. Gladly Loid figured out Anya’s warning about not opening the door because the whole thing would get explode. The question is, how the heck they would disarm the bomb, while it detonates at the back of the door? They will push themselves at that small door where Loid saw the bomb through a mirror or glass shard. The only way in is the door and nothing else. How the fuck they will disarm it?

The third is when Yor kicked out the car with her massive power and just HER LEG. Is Yor that muscular or some shit? Even though she’s an assassin, there’s no way she could kick a ton-weighted metallic car because assassins don’t get super strength. They only got the speed and reflexes in killing a victim. The car crashed into the lamp post and the people over there didn’t witness what happened. They didn’t call the police department and report it to them. The boss was arrested by the spy organization, but they didn’t think about who was the one who beat the gang leader, and the next day it nothing happened. As if they are not curious about what happened to that guy in the first place. The spy organization has to be the dumbest people I’ve ever known. I’m sure those members of the spy organization would create research about the person who beat it.

The rest of the episodes were just filler-gag shows that can make your brain cells deplete. It’s like you’re watching special episodes from OVAs that are derived from the main story. Side stories, perhaps. It’s more of a slice-of-life than action, which is Spy x Family’s disappointment factors. The comedy makes you either cringe or didn’t slap hard, and even Adam Sandler’s comedies are better than this. The whole show is full of Anya and Anya only since she’s the one in the center of the poster. The main characters, Loid and Yor suddenly became the fucking side characters that no one is expecting. The comedy is fully repetitive like Anya’s meme faces, Yor’s cooking segment, Yor’s brother’s vomiting while eating segment, Anya x Desmond interactions, and many more. It’s repeating the same all over and over again like a broken record. And what a way to end the season, TABLE TENNIS. Jeez, what the fuck. It’s like the author has run out of creative ideas for making people entertain so he rehashed the same thing. And you expected us to enjoy that? I don’t fucking think so. The author should just focus on how to make a perfect spy story that focuses on the action with a pinch of comedy, but not a ridonkeylous one for fuck’s sake.

The characters? Anya is the only character in this show. She’s still… meh. What about Fiona? Well… MEH!

The animation is still good. Not perfect but watchable.

Holy moly, the sound is still the same. I will give extra points to the OP since the sequences are superb. It is familiar with the style in 3-gatsu no Lion S2’s 2nd OP and it is sung by BUMP OF CHICKEN, so I’m slightly biased. Still, it didn’t capture the vibe of the whole show because it’s more of a SoL than an action. The ED is nice too and it’s better than the first. Good, but forgettable.

I couldn’t say this enough, but this part made me think that even KanoKari S2 had made some progression. It made me remember when I watched Komi-san that the story is still stuck on a broken record. The point and the message that is trying to convey made some or most of the audience feel that this show is like trolling. If you’re living under a rock, this show can be enjoyable. But for those people who want solid action-oriented spy shows, do me a favor and don’t watch this. A truly wasted potential and the sole reason why this is popular... ANYA. Average comedy at its finest.

Do you want a solid spy show? Watch Talentless Nana. Want a solid action gun show? Watch Black Lagoon or Ghost in the Shell. Want a solid wholesome slice of life? Watch 3-gatsu no Lion (Momo >>>> Anya). Want a solid blend of action, comedy, and slice-of-life? Watch Mob Psycho 100.
