Spy x Family Code: White

Spy x Family: Code White was the first anime movie I ever watched in theaters. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of anime show movies because they tend not to add to the series (they aren't cannon and can't expand on a story that well in such a short time), but this show utilizes the narrative of the past two series perfectly to execute a decent movie. Sure, some moments are a bit odd, especially the Anya's storyline with the bad guys, but for the most part, there were wholesome moments all around. It was faithful to everything else and had one or two stand-out moments. It's constructed in a way where even if you've never seen the series, you can still enjoy the movie, which I appreciate (even though I've watched both seasons - and so did my mom cuz she watched it too). The animation and action scenes are well choreographed. The movie felt more like an arc than anything else, but at the end of the day, I found it to be fine. It's not much greater than "fine", but it's certainly enough to get you by if you've been waiting for a season three. All characters not only showed up, but performed their roles well. 8/10 is very fair for the movie. While it was no-where near perfect and had a few weak points (regarding generic/plot convenient moments), the strong scenes where it counted the most were done right and with some pizazz. I will say it was nice to see Spy X Family on the big screen.

I went to the midnight premiere at the elegant TOHO Cinemas Hibiya - the biggest screen in Tokyo doing a midnight showing.

The movie was cute and light fun! Some great Anya faces. Loid's dulcet tones sounded great in a theater haha. And Yor's sweetness and Anya's adorable voice rang clear.

Captures most of the spirit of the show, but I wish there was more of the funny slice-of-life and school life stuff . But yeah, they were going for a big event story.

Visually about what I expected with a movie budget allowing for some slick action and bigger set pieces with really dynamic camera work!

Has an unexpected type of humor that included a surreal dream/vision sequence. Oh and there is a short after-credits scene.

A fun asian kids movie about family and the power of Christmas and being happy and being faithful as a parent and that's pretty much all, not neccesary to watch the show because, who has the time for that? No one, overall its a pretty good little movie and tons of fun to watch because its funny and that's always good, the history it's your basic stuff about misunderstandings and not talisman about the things its pretty much basic family stuff but that's ok, the animation itself fantastic and the characters are charming specially Anya and the dogs and the villains are just your average filler movie villains 7/10.

As a fan of the show I was curious how this would turn out. It starts off rather slow with an emphasis on the home and school life. The comedy, action, and plot don't really kick in until the end of act 2.

This might be my favorite portrayal of Anya in anything Spy X Family. Her expressions are very well drawn.

It has basically every character in some form and they play a slightly exaggerated version of there role from the show (for better or worse in the case of agent Nightfall).

This movie gets silly... maybe too silly. If you've watched the show or have watched any kind of anime (Nightfall's reactions) then... well even then there are parts that might be too silly for you. There's your regular anime extreme over acting, but there's a psychedelic scene that... Well it would be spoilers.

If you like the show I'd recommend it. If you haven't seen the show... Get ready for things to get out of hand very quickly.

"Spy x Family" is one of the silliest and loveliest anime franchises out there, because the premise - master spy sets up fake family with master assassin and adopted mind-reading orphan to get access to elite school - is utterly ridiculous and over the top. But because the characters are very well written, this is one of the most entertaining shows around. While the last season stalled a bit, the film goes from slow-burner opening to complete insanity in the second half. If you're a Disney+ victim, you will find this pure fun entertainment soothing, whether you know the series or not. However, if you have little tolerance for toilet humor or small children exposed to mortal danger, you'll find something to complain about - but that's fun for you, isn't it? So this anime action parody really has something for everyone.
