The premiere of Spy x Family is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
Some shows take a couple of episodes to really sell their premise, but Spy x Family (the x is silent, like in Hunter x Hunter) comes out of the gate swinging. In under 30 minutes, it delivers an impressive premiere episode that introduces a lived-in world and fleshed-out characters you can't help but love, all while doing a tricky balancing act of tones and genres that somehow blend seamlessly. Whether you've been waiting years for one of the most popular current manga to be adapted or are simply curious enough to watch a collaboration between the studios behind Ranking of Kings and My Dress-Up Darling, this is already the most impressive premiere of the season.
Spy x Family is set in the middle of a cold war between two giant superpowers aptly named Westalis and Ostania, where espionage is the only thing keeping the world from armageddon. It is here we meet a Westalis agent codenamed "Twilight," who is the best there is at what he does. He is a bit of a cross between James Bond and Ethan Hunt, but with the moves of John Wick and the smoldering looks of Chris Evans. When we first meet him, he's pulling a Mission Impossible-style heist wearing an elaborate face mask he used to steal incriminatory photos of a politician from a would-be blackmailer, right before meeting the criminal's daughter for dinner and coldly breaking up with her right as she's about to suggest they get married one day.
For his next mission, Twilight has to get close to the leader of an extremist political party. The catch? He is a notorious recluse who only goes to public events for his son's private school. So what is an agent to do but assemble a fake family and infiltrate the school to get close to his target during parent-teacher conferences?
What instantly catches the eye during the premiere of Spy x Family is the balancing act at the center of the story. It’s equal parts wholesome, funny, and thrilling, a true four-quadrant show the likes of which Hollywood has been desperately looking for. Twilight, now going as Loid Forger, is completely deadpan and deadly serious about his work, a man with the charisma of Levi from Attack on Titan. And yet, he adopts a 6-year-old girl from a very shady orphanage and she’s his polar opposite – a funny, emotional child who also happens to be a telepath.
Spy x Family comes out of the gate swinging with an exciting, funny, heartwarming episode that juggles several different tones and genres seamlessly. In just one episode, the show presents a fascinating premise, memorable characters, and stunning animation worth keeping an eye on for the rest of this season.
