Gekijôban Supai Famirî Kôdo: Howaito

"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.

I had never seen spy x family so I didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised I've added a new anime to my watch list. The story was great the characters was also fantastic I know a lot of people say it's not their cup of tea and it's not but for someone who loves anime it's really good usually it's not my cup of tea which I haven't heard of it until I've watched the movie this is coming from someone who's favorite anime is dragon Ball z and mobile suit Gundam and yu yu Hakusho this one was really good and I have to check out more about it. I recommend to people who love anime only people who will say this movie is not good or people who don't watch anime.

"Loid" is a top secret operative working on "Operation Strix" - and that requires him to establish the credentials offered by a fake family. To that end he is married to the nimble "Yor" and they both bring up their telepathic daughter "Anya" and mind their dog "Bond". So far, it's a bit like "Mr & Mrs Smith" as neither parent knows of the perilous activities of the other. Now her school principal likes a pudding, and so when a school competition encouraging pupils to cook something for him is announced, the family decide to travel to a small town where "meremere" is prepared (looks like a sort of meringue). Along the way, the curious "Anya" discovers a locked casket on a train which she easily opens to discover it contains a chocolate sweet. Yep, you've guessed - but wait! This delicacy turns out to contain a secret microfilm that is being sought by folks who would use it to undermine the peace between east and west and start a war. Now the story rather turns into "Sky Captain" (2004) and their search for the ingredients of their cake - and his secret mission - takes them into the skies and into a series of combative escapades that sees bullets, bombs and even experimental guided missiles flying about all over the place. I'd never heard of the original television series and was a little reluctant to see this in a cinema as so often these films just build on characters about whom I know little. That's not the case here. This is a solid stand-alone story that doesn't require prior knowledge of anyone to get into it, and that serves it well. The animation is quickly paced and each character (even the dog) has a role to play as the adventure hots up. The plot is not exactly original, no, but there's some fun to be had as these characters deliver an adventure that avoids repetitive combat scenes and after a slow start is well worth a cinema outing.

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.
