Spy x Family Code: White

"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.

Agent Loid created a fake family to accomplish his mission, but little did he know that each family member had a secret. His fake wife, Yor, was an international assassin, their adopted daughter, Anya, was a telepath, and their family pet, Bond, could predict the future. Anya was the key to his mission, and she now had to win a school cooking competition, so the family vacationed to find the perfect dessert. While enjoying their time together, they unknowingly stumble into a military operation. They must resolve the situation while maintaining their secrets.

This is an anime movie that extends a running series. Watching the series before this movie will help clarify what is happening, but it is unnecessary. The movie does a great job quickly recapping the essential elements of the series and focusing on the story. The movie is funny, entertaining, and a bit on the mature side. If you are a fan of the series or just want to watch an anime movie, this is entertaining.

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.

My kids (and my husband and me) love this show! My family went to see the movie today and it did not dissapoint. The quirky humor was throughout the movie and we laughed all of the way through. They didn't spend a lot of time explaining the backstory of the characters, which we appreciated since we have already watched the TV show. Someone who hasn't watched the show might be a little confused at the improbability of people having these skills and coming together as a family. However those who are fans of the show will enjoy the goofy humor and fun that is typically found in the episodes. I would recomend to fans of the show and if you haven't seen the show, I would recomend you check it out.

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.
