Spy x Family
"Everyone has a secret self they don't show to other people. Not to friends... Not to lovers... Not even to family. They hide who they are and what they want behind lies and painted smiles. And thus the world... maintains its thin veneer of peace." The quote is self-explanatory. But what if you become emotionally invested in your "mission"? But what exactly is your mission? Alternatively, who is your mission?

To keep the competing countries of Westalis and Ostania at peace, a Westalian agent code-named "Twilight" is charged with spying on Donovan Desmond, head of the National Unity Party within Ostania. However, because Desmond is famously reclusive, Twilight may only approach him by enrolling a child in the same private school as Desmond's boys and posing as a fellow parent. To do this and to provide the impression of a happy family, he adopts a little orphan child named Anya and marries a lady named Yor Briar.
"Loid" and "Yor" are oblivious to each other's actual identities, but Anya, who is an Esper, is of their actual professions. He has no clue, however, that Anya can read minds and Yor is a brilliant assassin. Bond, a dog with precognitive abilities, is later adopted by the family. Despite these strange circumstances and Twilight's lack of common sense due to his years as a spy, he must now learn to be the perfect parent and spouse to finish his assignment.
The Spy x Family series' Tritagonist is Yor Forger. On the outside, she is a lovely young woman with a light complexion, beautiful black hair, and upturned crimson eyes. While working as a regular secretary at Berlin City Hall, she also has a secret life as a Garden assassin known as the "Thorn Princess" (Ibara-hime). Regardless, she lacks social skills and appears disconnected at first, connecting with her work colleagues marginally and relatively direct, with Camilla even referring to her as a robot.
She is equally calm, too, adept at keeping her cool even in the heat of battle. She is sweet to the point that she even requests "the pleasure of terminating their life" from her assassination targets. Despite her “killer” occupation, Yor is a very caring person with maternal and big sister characteristics. She is fiercely protective of her "fake" family, especially Anya, whom she defends with excessive brutality.
She develops into a more talkative and open person after starting a family with Loid and Anya, all while seeking advice on how to be a better wife or cook. Her thinking is frequently very aberrant due to her existence as an assassin, and it should be no surprise that she is quick to consider murder a quick solution to many problems.
Yor's phony but legal spouse is Loid Forger. Following a visit to the tailor, the fated couple has a chance meeting, solidified by Anya’s intervention. They both decide to work together to assist each other achieve their goals. Their connection evolved from working together to achieve their individual aims to a pseudo-marriage resembling husband and wife. When their daughter asks if they will kiss, this adorable couple blushes fiercely, followed by mutual denial.
Spy x Family is a surprising tonal mashup that blends the high-stakes world of spies with a lighthearted, family-friendly comedy. It is a solid contender for anime of the year. Yes, I can say this with certainty since it has continually offered excellent entertainment. It's an anime that correctly promotes itself without fooling the audience. The show reached a large audience thanks to such a powerful marketing engine. There are various reasons why I believe Spy x Family deserves its rating, and to be honest; it is one of the few anime I can recommend to virtually everyone in 2022.
Spy x Family is the first significant anime in a long time that deserves the hype. It could be overhyped; however, what isn't nowadays? I was expecting a dull, dreary, gimmicky shounen-action picture. Instead, I got a creative and lovable slice of life with lovely characters, unique visual set pieces, a gorgeous setting, and, believe it or not, an actually hilarious sense of humor and gut-busting quick wit. It's considerably more uncomplicated and tension-free than I expected, which is fantastic.
I must admire the evolution of this. This is unquestionably a work of love. The animation significantly improves the manga's content. The name of this anime is Spy x Family, and one of its main pulls is the dynamic of a discovering family that the anime generates. The family mirage gradually develops into a genuine familial relationship as the anime unfolds.
The opening theme tune is "Mixed Nuts" (Mikkusu Natsu) by Official Hige Dandism, and the first ending theme song is "Comedy" (Kigeki) by Gen Hoshino. Overall, the soundtrack complements the anime's tone.
This is the must-watch Anime of the season and possibly the whole year too! Compelling characters, amazing waifu, and plot twists! Excellent and highly recommended for a quiet evening of comfort food with some company after a hard day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
