You know it's a great adaption when they're able to spin out anime original content that fits and enhances the source material.
It may be "fake" but Yor is radiating some strong "newlywed" mom and wife energy. Also, Loid in that white t-shirt. These two lucked out with each other. And just look at how Yor already adores Anya. Good thing Anya's telepathy helps her get a clue faster than normal. And we see that she's perfect to take to art museums, a master artist, and that her powers can overwhelm her with too many negative thoughts or when she's focused on trying to find someone. But she's also more clever than she seems at first glance. I see Yor relates everything to assassination/killing. Actually, it seems like assassination/murder turns her on... So...how superhuman is Yor that she crushed her little brothers' ribs with a hug? The family that fights crime together, stays together. And Loid for the first time feels what it is to hear gratitude and to have a family that reinforces you. Also that granny was a good hand-shaker. The ED with proper animation was great! I loved it showing off the supporting cast and the Forger Family bliss at the end. Also, the dancing! |

Glad to see another fan who recognized that tune. It's nice to hear a part that isn't "O Fortuna," and "Estuan Interius" happens to be one of my favourite pieces of the work. It took me a little time to track it down, though, since I hadn't heard it in a few years. |

While I don't find the music memorable, whoever storyboarded the anime and ending vid outdid themselves. A lot of styles mixed in 90 seconds.
Also, if the "family" continues like this I think I find them more appealing than the Gintama cast who always rely on really dirty jokes and their bonding took over 70 volumes to complete. |

Great episode, definitely a step back up from last week. Interesting to learn that Anya can't really control her telepathy, at least not yet (hopefully).
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, of course! That's why it sounded so familiar. Haven't listened to that in probably 10+ years! Thanks for the reminder =)
Hopefully we'll get something with ALI again soon now that the drummer situation is in the past. |

How adorable was the apartment tour? And Loid being absolutely ruthless when Anya claimed to have helped with various chores was hilarious. (Also, Loid totally letting his "just for the mission" mask slip there by baking various sweet treats to welcome Yor).
Anya figuring out how to focus Loid's attention in the right direction without letting on about her powers is a good indication that she's going to be a scary manipulator in the future when she grows up a little. If they stick it our long enough, Loid and Yor are in real trouble when she's a teenager. |

I can't believe I had to dethrone Kaguya-sama's excellent ED, but SPY x FAMILY's ED is on an absolute other level. When I heard the song in the trailer, I knew I needed to hear the whole thing. And now that I've seen it with the ending visuals, it's somehow even better.
it's one of those EDs that while watching it, immediately injects me with endorphins, covers me in a warm coat of feelings, and puts me to tears all at the same time. In short, I love it, and if it can somehow be beat by something as my ED of the year, I would be flabbergasted. |

I am sorry OP but i find this indeed better than the second coming, it is anime at it very best, setting a new standard in every way. I am encouraged beyond words to see such fine work happening in 2022, and it gives me hope for the years to come. The way this show uses every high standard of art, design, character development and story telling is a joy. All of the characters are good, fun and human. And the story is exciting as all heck. I have no reservations at all. I am a bit afraid of trials to come I expect, including the chance that he and she may find they are on opposite sides at "work" but their love and their wonderful kid will get them thru. Please keep going Studio and Director and thank you so much.
I am also encouraged to see that others like me see and recognize the genius of this show. Well done for them and for all of us. Let the fun continue. |

My buddy called it an Ele-gasm, and frankly I think that may be what I roll with if it happens again. |

I couldn't keep myself from wondering where they were changing their clothes, even though I found the whole thing hilarious for its multi-level absurdity. I mean, it would seem a bit inelegant to strip down right there in the courtyard.
Maybe Loid and Yor are adept at quick-change artistry, but Anya certainly is not.

Kinda wished the episode didn't bother with trying to do a cliffhanger ending, is anyone going to leave the episode and think they'll fail getting?
Anyway this was really great. A lot of it is reminding me of full metal alchemist, the blend of wacky humour with lots of deformed face with the more serious/dramatic side is pretty similar, wonder if it was an heavy inspiration. |

What an Elegant episode!
Hearing Henderson with a Japanese VA really sells the delivery of the "Elegance." I love how even Henderson was freaked out about the alternative outfits. And that they didn't even plan on the animal rampage, it was completely random. Yor in that ripped skirt and stockings did me in. Poor girl hates how much she terrifies people unknowingly. Also totally plausible that she learned pressure points from practicing "yoga." It was fun seeing how despite them being a "fake" family, their responses felt so genuine and honest. Especially Anya's. Poor girl has some family issues so no wonder she loves Loid and Anya so much. Man, Swan was a total sexist piece of @$%^. No wonder his wife divorced him and took their daughter. Any sympathy I might've had went away when he made Anya cry. Yor probably would've straight up killed him if Loid hadn't smashed the table Elegantly, left Elegantly, and let Henderson finish with a solid, Elegant, right hook. A family portrait falling is definitely foreboding...but I'm rooting for the Forgers!
Quick outfit changes are probably par the course for professional spies/assassins. |

You have no idea how much I wish I'd come up with that! I agree, that should be the official term. |
