THE ANIMATION

THE ANIMATION

Make sure you take really good care of this pup here, all right?

The fact that he tried his best to enjoy his time with Anya his supposed daughter and missed Yor his supposed wife for the mission is just so meaningful to me

Twilight never once wears his WISE pin throughout the whole cruise arc. He really was just there to play with his daughter and miss his wife and if that's not growth, I don't know what is.

I am genuinely about to cry

Spy x Family Ep 3 - Manga to Anime Adaptation Notes

Not here to point out *all* the places where manga and anime differ, but much more noting where adaptation and directing choices add to the story. Will start breaking these up into several posts...

Episode 3: 'Prepare For the Interview'- Manga chapter 3

The first episode where the anime added new material - a credit to them because it actually feels seamless! The slower moments where seemingly not much happens actually do a *lot* in terms of worldbuilding and character work. It is ruthlessly efficient in that way.

Meet the *other* Forger Family member - their apartment 

The anime introduces us to the Forger’s home, not something we ever really got in the manga, and as we’ve seen in ‘Comedy’ and ‘Color’ EDs, a character in its own right. My favourite thing is that apart from getting a good view of their home’s layout, we also see 

1) Anya being a smol bean - we see her on tip-toes, we see her head bobbing around at the bottom of the shot

2) Anya being super excited about having a mama and doing what kids do when they’re excited - show them the toilet. We've never seen the bathroom AFAIK in the manga. But I guess we need to know where Loid takes a long time to... well, you know

3) Twilight having gone full Dad mode and bought Anya not just a little pink chair for her to do homework on at the coffee table (not in the manga)...

but also a stool to stand on in the bathroom so she can wash her face by herself (not in the manga)...

and what looks like pink sheets on top of a pinkish rug with pink chest of drawers in a room with pink wallpaper, all decked out with toys and books (not this pink and cute in the manga). It's all for the mission.

This is a very lived-in home, and suggests Anya and her papa probably have been living together for a little while. If Yor thinks Loid looks like the perfect doting father, it’s because he clearly actually is.

I just love this small detail within the dialogue they have Loid say, that "my family" will get suspicious if he's gone too long rather than him saying "the family". He didn't have to say it that way but it’s probably gotten so natural for him to say that he just doesn't notice it.

It's a tiny thing but a nice one to say the least.

The way Loid and Yor are looking at their little precious daughter and their cute new dog is the epitome of adorable Imma tear up 😭😔💔

Doting parents:

'Pretend' family my ass.

We love and stan Becky Blackbell in this household

Becky is the only character in SxF who stans every member of the Forger family which makes her the best character in SxF
