Synopsis

Loid Forger, an elite spy, is warned by his handler that he may potentially be reassigned from his ongoing mission, Operation Strix. To maintain his position, he must make significant progress toward the operation's objectives, which involves having his adoptive daughter Anya earn sufficient Stella Stars to become an Imperial Scholar at Eden Academy. After learning of a cooking contest that awards the winning student with a Stella Star, Loid researches the judge's preferred dessert to help increase Anya's odds. However, perfectly recreating the judge's favorite meremere requires more than just following a recipe. Thus, the Forgers embark on a vacation to the Frigis region to try an authentic meremere. Not all goes smoothly on the trip, as the Forger family ends up entwined in a sinister plot to reignite war between the countries of Ostania and Westalis. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I really love this fiction, it's good and emotional and funny. Of course, there are exaggerated aspects, but sometimes I think that's the funny part. Maybe my only regret is that Yor and Loid are never connected. I know it makes sense, they both have completely different realities in their minds, but I love the Forger family so much that it's hard to watch this series without wanting them to be a real family. Of course, if they were in love, it would probably weaken the intrigue of the fiction, but maybe they'll give us a little scene in the finale where we see themas a happy family when it's all over and peace is restored. I don't have high hopes, but... I was a bit skeptical about the movie, I didn't watch it in the theater because I thought it wouldn't be a good movie to watch, but if I had gone, I would have loved it. But it's nice to watch it like this.

This is what season two needed. Spy x Family finally embraces subtly, baking up this show into a sweet treat, mixing the film with the already grounded themes of family connection in a cold war espionage world, into an action-packed, explosively festive joy on the same proportions as Die Hard. It's a fiery movie that gets a lot of what the show does beautifully even more elegantly. It's clear as day this is the best thing to come out of the series, condensing everything about the show into a standalone movie anyone can enjoy. For one, we finally get the authoritarian military commander who rulesthrough fear, something that was absolutely needed in this show. The art direction in the film is outstanding! Wit Studio and CloverWorks showcase exceptional improvement within their own experimentation and composition. Not only is the writing witty, no stone is left unturned. Every piece of this puzzle fits. No matter how you look at it, Spy x Family: Code White took flight with the shows themes, combusting into a more expansive look on the series as a whole. Even though the film embraces the slice of life side of season two, it leaves room for the subconscious comedy and absurdity that made the parent story so great. It's a dedication to balance, effortlessly switching between action, laughs, and heartwarming moments. Some top-notch, outlandish sequences in this fucking movie. Whether it's the surrealism of the Poop God's habitat, or the power of cosmetics. It maintains your attention and propels you into the craziness. We just keep being stacked with more twists and turns, leading to a fiery finale where the makeshift family must unite to escape. A excellent family movie to play for the holidays. This movie is an absolute must for fans of the show and even works as a showcase of the show for those unfamiliar. Even if it's not canon, this is the best of Spy x Family. Don't miss this!

I can only sum up this movie like this; give me my 2 hours back It's absolutely skippable. You can consider it filler if you want. More Spy Family slice of life and that's about it. It's a self contained story that doesn't really change, add or remove anything from the main plot. They just wanted to make something to cash in more on the 'story". Good points: - Anya's faces were the highlight of the movie for me. Very funny, cute and derpy - Some action scenes were decent (just don't expect Demon Slayer quality) Bad points: - It's filler, nothing important happens for the storyIf you really just want more slice of life with Anya, watch it. If you just want to keep up with the main story, movie is completely skippable.

Code: White is a fun and beautiful movie that I really, really loved. The story focuses mainly on the dynamics within the Forger family, with small guest appearances from various important side characters. It's not a realistic story, but Spy x Family has never pretended to be realistic, and in doing so the movie frees itself to be simultaneously comedic yet emotional, light-hearted yet also dramatic. It goes wild with unexpected plot beats, crazy scenes, and touching moments, all for what's ostensibly a slice-of-life anime. Every aspect of this film was stellar, from the sound design to the voice acting to the animation. Seriously, the animationwas exceptional. Besides the great action cinematography, various creative shots and the general fluidity and liveliness of the animation, they also dramatically changed the animation style for a couple surprising scenes. Both moments really surprised me, but they really made the movie special. That and the fact that it's, again, just so well made. Very beautiful family-bonding scenes, the kind you've come to expect from the main anime and more. The start of the movie was a little slow as it eases you into the world and re-familiarizes you with the characters and their motivations. It's fine, the payoff is worth it, and when it ramps up, it does so quickly. Again, this is neither a realistic nor deeply philosophical film, but that just makes it all the easier to enjoy. Just don't take it too seriously, okay? Some viewers seem to come into this show expecting a groundbreaking story that will upheave their entire worldview; if so, a slice-of-life work, dressed up or not, is probably the wrong place to look. But yes, this was a fantastic watch. Code: White will set your standards high for animation and will be an enjoyable watch throughout. If you enjoyed the main anime at all, then I believe you will definitely love this movie.

"Of what entertainment value is there going around in circles? I don't understand children" -Loid Forger (himself!) I'm probably the worst person to review something like Spy x Family, because I dislike the repetitive nature of the story, where it often goes in circles and ends up back at square one. This feels like a strategy only aimed at commercialization rather than genuine storytelling. It seems that the creators are deliberately limiting the depth of each character, making them shallow and preventing any meaningful decisions that could push the narrative out of its comfort zone. This is especially noticeable given that the last season aired simultaneously withBuddies Daddies, which, despite only having one season, has achieved more in terms of character development than the three seasons and one movie of Spy x Family combined! If you enjoy the same repetitive formula, you might find some entertainment in it. However, I'm just tired of playing this childish game at this point.

Visually, "Spy x Family Code: White" is a true masterpiece. The animation in the film is very smooth and dynamic, keeping the viewer engaged from beginning to end. It is executed with meticulous attention to detail, both in the characters and the backgrounds. The scenery, especially the winter landscape of Frigis, is designed with impressive attention to detail. The use of particle effects such as snow, sparks, and smoke adds a realistic dimension to each scene, highlighting the technical mastery of the team creating this film. At the same time, the minimal use of limited animation techniques and the inclusion of dynamic characters in the backgroundsdemonstrate the extraordinary effort of the animators, who paid attention to every detail. Narratively, the film does a great job. The viewing experience is introduced by the well-known narrator from the series, who effectively presents the main characters, their occupations, powers, and motivations. This allows even those who have never encountered the "Spy x Family" series before to easily understand the context and engage with the plot. "Spy x Family Code: White" proves that the true art of Japanese animation lies in the ability to tell universal stories through the lens of extraordinary circumstances.

Great movie overall. Great animation, great location to have a story in and interesting bad guys. The story is mostly focusing about main characters afraid of their relationships with each other but in different ways and the story pulls it off. Overall, it is great story. The main bad guy is very interesting, his lackies.... they sure are something. Otherwise they also managed not to put way to many characters from the story and if they are in the story, they only play small role so we can focus completely on the family. Only thing that stops me from giving it 10 is that Iknow this story is non cannon, so it doesn't impact the main series. (also there small details from preventing me) but I recommend.

If you liked the first two seasons of Spy x Family so far, then I can very much recommend Code White. This movie essentially is a prolonged episode of the show. The best thing about a Spy x Family story having a longer runningtime is that each member of the Forger family is given their chance to shine, with no one really feeling left out or benched by the end of it. The shenanigans we see then get in are familiar to a returning audience, but non the less still very entertaining. The plot can be a little messy and disjointed from time to time, withthe general objective of main characters mission kinda changing a bit too rapidly. The villain also feels a little undercooked, for I still actually have no clue what his plan was other than getting his hands on the MacGuffin. But all that aside, this film offers us beautiful action scenes, some of the most hilarious Anya moments in the series so far (apparently even the lowest forms of humor can be turned into art when the right animators are put in charge) and some pretty sweet bonding moments for the family. Part of me wished those bonding moments could have gone a little bit further, especially because of the incident that sets the entire film's plot in motion, but perhaps it would be best to save that for a future installment of Spy x Family. All and all, this was a fun watch and I would certainly recommend it

Watch it! Fun, funny family entertainment. Keep in mind that the humour will be silly since it's a family movie. I believe that the movie is not canon. That made me quite sad because I thought it would get something that would add to the story, especially after season 2. However, I find it fun anyway. I would always watch more Spy x Family since the plot is not that complicated anyway. Sometimes in the movie, it made my head scratch, but other than that it's good. 9/10 - Anyone can watch it (has a small intro at the start) GO GET YOUR TICKET!!

Movie that works for first time viewers and those who are up to date with anime TV! If I could sum up the movie in one sentence: The Forgers are not alone. THE 3 of them are a FAMILY and they must face problems together. Many think they should skip it because it's not part of the story, but it's a satisfying and visual spectacle with a round beginning and ending that makes you can put it on BEFORE or AFTER S2. (There's a certain scene with Bond that's going to remind you of the last episode of season 2 and this is just one example).They give you all the context so you understand the story from the beginning and the good thing about Spy Family is that it is very intuitive and they explain everything in detail. Story: A plot that reminds you of how close the Forger family is and how their occurrences motivate them to stick together in a series of unfortunate events (very convenient) but that reinforce their family bond. This movie mixed the best of the anime seasons and compressed it into one movie, even recycling some moments and phrases, but with another perspective, which makes it more enjoyable and that's why anyone can watch it without having seen anything. It has an absurd but very good comedy as it is to be expected from this franchise, you will laugh in more than one occasion. ANIMATION: It's probably not that outstanding overall, but at key moments, both Loid and Yor's scenes get excellent animation sequences that you should enjoy in the theater. Even Anya has her "magic" moment which required great animation.

if you love to Spy x Family, this movie will be a treat for you. The first half was your average episode, both animation and story-wise. With the second half the difference is like night and day. The choreography of the fights is amazing, and so is the pacing, photography, compositing, and backgrounds. You can definitely see is a movie. Not going to lie, it was hilarious how the biggest amount of sakuga was in the toilet God sequence. It's also great at establishing the characters and the world for those who never watched the show, so that's a good excuse to force your friendsto watch it ;) My only small complaint (🤓☝️) is that I wished that Official HIGE DANdism's song was played during the movie and not at the very end in the credits. It's a fantastic song on par (or even better) than the first opening, and listening it with the cinema's speakers is just godly. Maybe I'm a little biased haha. And any Italian fellas, the dub is really good :) Totally recommended!

If you liked the TV shows, and if you liked the characters, well they are all here, almost all of them. The movie feels like a paint by number box checking exercise. Everyone gets to do their "thing" and gets their big screen screen times. But the plot is thin and in normal Anime OVA fashion, nothing is at stake. Sure there are big action, great sakuga moments to show the budget of a movie. But it just doesn't feel like a proper film. its fun, lots to see, but I was still checking my watch and rolled my eyes a lot at multiple points ofthe film. I don't know if its better or worse, when I think the film itself knows what its doing.

"Waku, Waku - Anya wants peanuts" - new adventures with the fluffy Anya finally on the big screen. Original-Content-Movies are often a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you want to tell an exciting story, but at the same time you can't interfere with the events of the manga or bring anything that has a lasting impact on the main story. Experience has shown that such films are often incredibly dull or no longer feel like the series at all. But not with the Spy x Family film. If you like the series, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the movie. The film is completelydetached, so you don't need to have seen the entire 2 seasons. It helps if you've seen the characters before (especially to understand some of the running gags), but theoretically someone who's never seen the series before could also enjoy the movie. The story seems just as contrived as the main plot of the series. Loid is in danger of being withdrawn early from Operation Strix due to a lack of results. To prevent this, he wants to ensure that Anya achieves a Stellar in her school cooking class - by preparing her teacher's favorite dish. To get the ingredients and familiarize Anya with the dish, the family travesl to northern Frigis. But what sounds like a relaxed family trip quickly escalates into a chase with two members of Ostania's Military Intelligence, who work for the unscrupulous Colonel Snidel, who wants to destroy the East-West peace with his war plans. Basically the whole thing is slapstick. As in the series, Anya repeatedly finds herself, partly through her gift and partly by chance, in absurd situations, chases and fights, from which Loid and Yor, mostly unconsciously, free her. But while the series, with the exception of the Cruise-Adventure-Arc, mostly has very short missions, here you have the time to experience a longer, epic story. It was nice that there were a lot of scenes with the three of them together - because while in the series it's often done so that the three don't get in each other's way in the action scenes for the purpose of camouflage, here we see Loid , Yor and Anya act together most of the time - and it works extremely well. Differents aspects of Spy x Family were covered here. There were funny scenes, some thoughtful, romantic, action-packed moments and of course a lot of the fuzzy Anya - who sometimes puts out one meme-like one-liner after the next. The only thing I found a bit weird was the strong fecal humor in between - something that was hardly common in the series. But luckily this only lasted a few minutes. Almost every character from the main series makes an appearance. Some contribute to the plot, some are just in the film so you can see them briefly, but it's still nice that everyone can see their favorite character. For the most part, the animation is no different than in the series - not so the epic action scenes. A great job has been done here. If you have the opportunity to go to the cinema, watch it on the big screen. It's simply an experience. The songs by Official Hige Dandism and Gen Hoshino, listed here on MAL, are great. Sadly they can only be heard in the end credits - they deserve to be integrated into the film (e.g. as part of the opening scene or as interlude music). Voice acting is on point too. Especially in the german version you'll get, as in the series, some popculture allusions, that were not in the original. It was clear that nothing earth-shattering would happen here, but for the 110 minutes Code White knows how to entertain. If you like the series, you will definitely like the movie too. However, if you belong to the faction that is already annoyed by the repetitive storylines and lack of story development in the main series, you're probably better off investing the money in a few packs of peanuts. Of course, the cinema experience also plays a part here. It was just a great feeling to be cheering and laughing along with the big crowd. If I had seen the film alone on my laptop I probably might have rate it 1 - 2 points less, but nevertheless "Spy x Family" is extremely good for an Original-Movie.

What a goddamn great movie. I‘m writing this fresh out of the cinema. I‘ll try to split the review into some categories, without spoiling. I recommend having seen the first two seasons of the show, but it is not necessarily required as all of the important aspects are explained again. Animation: 10/10 Wit Studio, Toho Animation, Cloverworks, everyone working on the movie gave it its best. Spy X Family continues to have some of the best animation in the industry. The fight scenes were amazing, the camera movement, every single detail. Story: 8/10 I‘ll try to spoil as little as possible here. Our family is going on a tripand circumstances lead to them having to complete a challenging mission together. It is predictable at parts, but nonetheless enjoyable. Some side drama caused for very interesting and entertaining plot aspects, The Movie never felt boring throughout it‘s whole runtime. There are some things that did not make that much sense, but these did not harm the plot on a large scale. Characters: 9/10 All of the characters have their own reason for giving their best to the mission. Their motives and feelings are shown very well and the dynamic between the characters is something the show has done well since it‘s first episode. This Movie is no exception to that. Music/Voice Acting: 9/10 The Music was also good, a lot of tracks known from the first two seasons of the anime. Sound effects were great too, especially in the Ultimate Cinema Room I got to watch it in. Having it watched in German, Spy X Family continues to have one of the best dubs I‘ve ever watched. More in the Comedy Paragraph Comedy: 9/10 Comedy is subjective. That being said, not every „comedy“ anime is able to get the majority of people laughing. But the Movie continues to bring jokes that are actually great and had the whole cinema laughing. The german dub did a great job, having a lot of sayings that fit the show perfectly. Overall: 9/10 It is a great movie I can only recommend watching. Watch It with your friends, your family, your pets, whoever you want to watch it with, I believe the Movie is something that almost everybody can atleast find some enjoyment in. If you disliked the first two seasons, you will probably dislike the movie aswell. Spy X Family: Code White is a Movie with a great story, god-tier animations with intense action scenes, but with great slice-of-life family aspects aswell. If you’ve read this far, thank you for reading. I hope you liked my review, I‘m still new to writing reviews so the structure might not be perfect, but I am trying my best. I hope you liked the movie as much as I did and if not, thats okay too. Have a great day! 9/10

I went to see this in theatres today, and overall it was a pretty fun day out! Someone in the group was completely new to the series, and luckily she could follow along just fine between the movie and looking over a brief overview. On the other hand, I'm completely caught up on the anime and currently reading the manga, so I had some basic expectations that were reasonably met. I was pleasantly surprised with more Bond than I bargained for, since the trip during Season 2 left him back home. And overall, there's arguably more action in this movie than the entirety of the seriesso far, which isn't particularly something I was looking for but also not a criticism against it... just something different in regards to a movie format as opposed to the meandering, funny day-to-day the main series is known for. Lil Anya and Bond still cute. Lloid and Yor still amazing. The plot starts rolling by eating a piece of chocolate the government is after, so you know it's your Spy x Family shenanigans. Solid addition to the series.

This movie does a great job of balancing the two types of story elements in SpyxFamily; cute family scenes and exciting action sequences. The themes and character development feels natural to the series while still keeping in mind that this is a spin-off movie, with references to some season 1 episodes present to further connect to the series. That said, some of the plotlines fell a little flat (Yor’s in particular) which keeps me from giving a top score. It’s tough to make a storyline that fits with the show without feeling like it’s either essential to the plot or too obtrusive, so I’m giving ita pass even though it wasn’t to my taste, as it does realistically fit SpyxFamily as a whole quite well. As for the animation, this movie has a lot of fun sequences that play with animation styles. One sequence in particular had the whole theater laughing, so it’s definitely a fun viewing with lots of creative energy poured into it. Overall, this is a solid movie for fans of SpyxFamily. Watching the first season, or at least a few episodes, gives all the context for the movie’s plot, and the tone and pacing are quite similar to the show, so if you’ve seen a few episodes and liked what you saw, this movie will be fun to view.

while it's not a canon story, it still have that Spy x Family charm to it! this movie Upgrade everything! like more expression on every character especially Anya, she got more expressive on this movie. the visual while it's not the most beautiful, it still really good! Story is really simple, but they manage to make it exciting for the viewer. you don't need a lot of braincells to understand the story and the plot coz it's really simple. the villain well, kinda goofy. i mean it's Spy x Family sothe villain is not those really evil individuals that want to destroy the world or something. butthe most important part is i got a really good laugh on some part, like a really really good laugh that i almost can't breath inside the theatre LOL. overall this anime pack a ton of fun, joy, and warmness just like the main series. So if you haven't watch it, i recommend you to watch it!

Pack with action, comedy and of course family. When you think Anya doesn't get weirder, she got weirder. The animation, cinematography, color all of those are muach muach muach love it! Each member of the family has their own action scene and time to shine, even Bond. Anya get the weirder one for sure. There's a moment in the movie I was like "where the hell is this animation come from?" Those sound effect also spectacular, hence I recommend to watch it in cinema if it is available in your country! The plot is pretty simple and straight to the point with funny moment here and there, butthere's few moment that feels doesn't make sense and feels like a plot hole (or maybe paradox) if we reconsider with the original. But the movie doesn't count as canon, so I think it's okay. Overall it is A FUN MOVIE!!! I had a BLAST!

It was very random. The story kinda happens near Christmas time and I watched it during Christmas in Japan so it was just about the right time to watch the movie. Alot of things just happened spontaneously. The plot is pretty standard, the family gets introduced, they chill, a chance to get a star is given, the family tries to get it, goes through hard ship, family happy again. It is a great movie and matches with the Spy x Family worlds energy perfectly. I'd definetly look forward to Anya doing the weirdest things possible in another possible future Spy x Family movie. In general 10/10, good ED songsand funny story. Will watch again when film releases in EU.

I'll admit there may be some biases in my review having experienced a full house at midnight in Japan on a weekday, but this movie really encapsulates the charms of Spy x Family while keeping the audience engaged with a high-stakes story. Comparing it to the 2 seasons that have aired so far, this (while not "canon") is the most exciting Spy x Family arc I've been able to watch. If you enjoy Spy x Family as a whole, it's a great fun watch. Even for new watchers who want a nice movie to see if they want to give the show a try, itgives enough exposition to the characters for you to jump right in. Animation - top notch work from the animators at CloverWorks & Wit once again. The action scenes were splendid, easy to follow, and felt nicely paired with the ongoing plot. Yor fans will eat good. Story - Pacing was really nice, and what initially feels like separate anime episode mini-stories eventually blend nicely into an over-arching plot Humor - Each cast member's humor was written and executed in a very on-brand way. Especially Anya... But, yes, the movie is not perfect by all means. You can check my profile for my rating scale. There's inconsistencies, plot holes that make sense for a "filler movie", and lack of screen time for certain characters. Overall though, it was really enjoyable and a fun winter flick!

I really love this fiction, it's good and emotional and funny. Of course, there are exaggerated aspects, but sometimes I think that's the funny part. Maybe my only regret is that Yor and Loid are never connected. I know it makes sense, they both have completely different realities in their minds, but I love the Forger family so much that it's hard to watch this series without wanting them to be a real family. Of course, if they were in love, it would probably weaken the intrigue of the fiction, but maybe they'll give us a little scene in the finale where we see themas a happy family when it's all over and peace is restored. I don't have high hopes, but... I was a bit skeptical about the movie, I didn't watch it in the theater because I thought it wouldn't be a good movie to watch, but if I had gone, I would have loved it. But it's nice to watch it like this.

It's fine, the payoff is worth it, and when it ramps up, it does so quickly. Again, this is neither a realistic nor deeply philosophical film, but that just makes it all the easier to enjoy. Just don't take it too seriously, okay? Some viewers seem to come into this show expecting a groundbreaking story that will upheave their entire worldview; if so, a slice-of-life work, dressed up or not, is probably the wrong place to look. But yes, this was a fantastic watch. Code: White will set your standards high for animation and will be an enjoyable watch throughout. If you enjoyed the main anime at all, then I believe you will definitely love this movie.

"Of what entertainment value is there going around in circles? I don't understand children" -Loid Forger (himself!) I'm probably the worst person to review something like Spy x Family, because I dislike the repetitive nature of the story, where it often goes in circles and ends up back at square one. This feels like a strategy only aimed at commercialization rather than genuine storytelling. It seems that the creators are deliberately limiting the depth of each character, making them shallow and preventing any meaningful decisions that could push the narrative out of its comfort zone. This is especially noticeable given that the last season aired simultaneously withBuddies Daddies, which, despite only having one season, has achieved more in terms of character development than the three seasons and one movie of Spy x Family combined! If you enjoy the same repetitive formula, you might find some entertainment in it. However, I'm just tired of playing this childish game at this point.

Visually, "Spy x Family Code: White" is a true masterpiece. The animation in the film is very smooth and dynamic, keeping the viewer engaged from beginning to end. It is executed with meticulous attention to detail, both in the characters and the backgrounds. The scenery, especially the winter landscape of Frigis, is designed with impressive attention to detail. The use of particle effects such as snow, sparks, and smoke adds a realistic dimension to each scene, highlighting the technical mastery of the team creating this film. At the same time, the minimal use of limited animation techniques and the inclusion of dynamic characters in the backgroundsdemonstrate the extraordinary effort of the animators, who paid attention to every detail. Narratively, the film does a great job. The viewing experience is introduced by the well-known narrator from the series, who effectively presents the main characters, their occupations, powers, and motivations. This allows even those who have never encountered the "Spy x Family" series before to easily understand the context and engage with the plot. "Spy x Family Code: White" proves that the true art of Japanese animation lies in the ability to tell universal stories through the lens of extraordinary circumstances.

Great movie overall. Great animation, great location to have a story in and interesting bad guys. The story is mostly focusing about main characters afraid of their relationships with each other but in different ways and the story pulls it off. Overall, it is great story. The main bad guy is very interesting, his lackies.... they sure are something. Otherwise they also managed not to put way to many characters from the story and if they are in the story, they only play small role so we can focus completely on the family. Only thing that stops me from giving it 10 is that Iknow this story is non cannon, so it doesn't impact the main series. (also there small details from preventing me) but I recommend.

If you liked the first two seasons of Spy x Family so far, then I can very much recommend Code White. This movie essentially is a prolonged episode of the show. The best thing about a Spy x Family story having a longer runningtime is that each member of the Forger family is given their chance to shine, with no one really feeling left out or benched by the end of it. The shenanigans we see then get in are familiar to a returning audience, but non the less still very entertaining. The plot can be a little messy and disjointed from time to time, withthe general objective of main characters mission kinda changing a bit too rapidly. The villain also feels a little undercooked, for I still actually have no clue what his plan was other than getting his hands on the MacGuffin. But all that aside, this film offers us beautiful action scenes, some of the most hilarious Anya moments in the series so far (apparently even the lowest forms of humor can be turned into art when the right animators are put in charge) and some pretty sweet bonding moments for the family. Part of me wished those bonding moments could have gone a little bit further, especially because of the incident that sets the entire film's plot in motion, but perhaps it would be best to save that for a future installment of Spy x Family. All and all, this was a fun watch and I would certainly recommend it

Watch it! Fun, funny family entertainment. Keep in mind that the humour will be silly since it's a family movie. I believe that the movie is not canon. That made me quite sad because I thought it would get something that would add to the story, especially after season 2. However, I find it fun anyway. I would always watch more Spy x Family since the plot is not that complicated anyway. Sometimes in the movie, it made my head scratch, but other than that it's good. 9/10 - Anyone can watch it (has a small intro at the start) GO GET YOUR TICKET!!

Movie that works for first time viewers and those who are up to date with anime TV! If I could sum up the movie in one sentence: The Forgers are not alone. THE 3 of them are a FAMILY and they must face problems together. Many think they should skip it because it's not part of the story, but it's a satisfying and visual spectacle with a round beginning and ending that makes you can put it on BEFORE or AFTER S2. (There's a certain scene with Bond that's going to remind you of the last episode of season 2 and this is just one example).They give you all the context so you understand the story from the beginning and the good thing about Spy Family is that it is very intuitive and they explain everything in detail. Story: A plot that reminds you of how close the Forger family is and how their occurrences motivate them to stick together in a series of unfortunate events (very convenient) but that reinforce their family bond. This movie mixed the best of the anime seasons and compressed it into one movie, even recycling some moments and phrases, but with another perspective, which makes it more enjoyable and that's why anyone can watch it without having seen anything. It has an absurd but very good comedy as it is to be expected from this franchise, you will laugh in more than one occasion. ANIMATION: It's probably not that outstanding overall, but at key moments, both Loid and Yor's scenes get excellent animation sequences that you should enjoy in the theater. Even Anya has her "magic" moment which required great animation.

if you love to Spy x Family, this movie will be a treat for you. The first half was your average episode, both animation and story-wise. With the second half the difference is like night and day. The choreography of the fights is amazing, and so is the pacing, photography, compositing, and backgrounds. You can definitely see is a movie. Not going to lie, it was hilarious how the biggest amount of sakuga was in the toilet God sequence. It's also great at establishing the characters and the world for those who never watched the show, so that's a good excuse to force your friendsto watch it ;) My only small complaint (🤓☝️) is that I wished that Official HIGE DANdism's song was played during the movie and not at the very end in the credits. It's a fantastic song on par (or even better) than the first opening, and listening it with the cinema's speakers is just godly. Maybe I'm a little biased haha. And any Italian fellas, the dub is really good :) Totally recommended!

If you liked the TV shows, and if you liked the characters, well they are all here, almost all of them. The movie feels like a paint by number box checking exercise. Everyone gets to do their "thing" and gets their big screen screen times. But the plot is thin and in normal Anime OVA fashion, nothing is at stake. Sure there are big action, great sakuga moments to show the budget of a movie. But it just doesn't feel like a proper film. its fun, lots to see, but I was still checking my watch and rolled my eyes a lot at multiple points ofthe film. I don't know if its better or worse, when I think the film itself knows what its doing.

"Waku, Waku - Anya wants peanuts" - new adventures with the fluffy Anya finally on the big screen. Original-Content-Movies are often a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you want to tell an exciting story, but at the same time you can't interfere with the events of the manga or bring anything that has a lasting impact on the main story. Experience has shown that such films are often incredibly dull or no longer feel like the series at all. But not with the Spy x Family film. If you like the series, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the movie. The film is completelydetached, so you don't need to have seen the entire 2 seasons. It helps if you've seen the characters before (especially to understand some of the running gags), but theoretically someone who's never seen the series before could also enjoy the movie. The story seems just as contrived as the main plot of the series. Loid is in danger of being withdrawn early from Operation Strix due to a lack of results. To prevent this, he wants to ensure that Anya achieves a Stellar in her school cooking class - by preparing her teacher's favorite dish. To get the ingredients and familiarize Anya with the dish, the family travesl to northern Frigis. But what sounds like a relaxed family trip quickly escalates into a chase with two members of Ostania's Military Intelligence, who work for the unscrupulous Colonel Snidel, who wants to destroy the East-West peace with his war plans. Basically the whole thing is slapstick. As in the series, Anya repeatedly finds herself, partly through her gift and partly by chance, in absurd situations, chases and fights, from which Loid and Yor, mostly unconsciously, free her. But while the series, with the exception of the Cruise-Adventure-Arc, mostly has very short missions, here you have the time to experience a longer, epic story. It was nice that there were a lot of scenes with the three of them together - because while in the series it's often done so that the three don't get in each other's way in the action scenes for the purpose of camouflage, here we see Loid , Yor and Anya act together most of the time - and it works extremely well. Differents aspects of Spy x Family were covered here. There were funny scenes, some thoughtful, romantic, action-packed moments and of course a lot of the fuzzy Anya - who sometimes puts out one meme-like one-liner after the next. The only thing I found a bit weird was the strong fecal humor in between - something that was hardly common in the series. But luckily this only lasted a few minutes. Almost every character from the main series makes an appearance. Some contribute to the plot, some are just in the film so you can see them briefly, but it's still nice that everyone can see their favorite character. For the most part, the animation is no different than in the series - not so the epic action scenes. A great job has been done here. If you have the opportunity to go to the cinema, watch it on the big screen. It's simply an experience. The songs by Official Hige Dandism and Gen Hoshino, listed here on MAL, are great. Sadly they can only be heard in the end credits - they deserve to be integrated into the film (e.g. as part of the opening scene or as interlude music). Voice acting is on point too. Especially in the german version you'll get, as in the series, some popculture allusions, that were not in the original. It was clear that nothing earth-shattering would happen here, but for the 110 minutes Code White knows how to entertain. If you like the series, you will definitely like the movie too. However, if you belong to the faction that is already annoyed by the repetitive storylines and lack of story development in the main series, you're probably better off investing the money in a few packs of peanuts. Of course, the cinema experience also plays a part here. It was just a great feeling to be cheering and laughing along with the big crowd. If I had seen the film alone on my laptop I probably might have rate it 1 - 2 points less, but nevertheless "Spy x Family" is extremely good for an Original-Movie.

What a goddamn great movie. I‘m writing this fresh out of the cinema. I‘ll try to split the review into some categories, without spoiling. I recommend having seen the first two seasons of the show, but it is not necessarily required as all of the important aspects are explained again. Animation: 10/10 Wit Studio, Toho Animation, Cloverworks, everyone working on the movie gave it its best. Spy X Family continues to have some of the best animation in the industry. The fight scenes were amazing, the camera movement, every single detail. Story: 8/10 I‘ll try to spoil as little as possible here. Our family is going on a tripand circumstances lead to them having to complete a challenging mission together. It is predictable at parts, but nonetheless enjoyable. Some side drama caused for very interesting and entertaining plot aspects, The Movie never felt boring throughout it‘s whole runtime. There are some things that did not make that much sense, but these did not harm the plot on a large scale. Characters: 9/10 All of the characters have their own reason for giving their best to the mission. Their motives and feelings are shown very well and the dynamic between the characters is something the show has done well since it‘s first episode. This Movie is no exception to that. Music/Voice Acting: 9/10 The Music was also good, a lot of tracks known from the first two seasons of the anime. Sound effects were great too, especially in the Ultimate Cinema Room I got to watch it in. Having it watched in German, Spy X Family continues to have one of the best dubs I‘ve ever watched. More in the Comedy Paragraph Comedy: 9/10 Comedy is subjective. That being said, not every „comedy“ anime is able to get the majority of people laughing. But the Movie continues to bring jokes that are actually great and had the whole cinema laughing. The german dub did a great job, having a lot of sayings that fit the show perfectly. Overall: 9/10 It is a great movie I can only recommend watching. Watch It with your friends, your family, your pets, whoever you want to watch it with, I believe the Movie is something that almost everybody can atleast find some enjoyment in. If you disliked the first two seasons, you will probably dislike the movie aswell. Spy X Family: Code White is a Movie with a great story, god-tier animations with intense action scenes, but with great slice-of-life family aspects aswell. If you’ve read this far, thank you for reading. I hope you liked my review, I‘m still new to writing reviews so the structure might not be perfect, but I am trying my best. I hope you liked the movie as much as I did and if not, thats okay too. Have a great day! 9/10

I went to see this in theatres today, and overall it was a pretty fun day out! Someone in the group was completely new to the series, and luckily she could follow along just fine between the movie and looking over a brief overview. On the other hand, I'm completely caught up on the anime and currently reading the manga, so I had some basic expectations that were reasonably met. I was pleasantly surprised with more Bond than I bargained for, since the trip during Season 2 left him back home. And overall, there's arguably more action in this movie than the entirety of the seriesso far, which isn't particularly something I was looking for but also not a criticism against it... just something different in regards to a movie format as opposed to the meandering, funny day-to-day the main series is known for. Lil Anya and Bond still cute. Lloid and Yor still amazing. The plot starts rolling by eating a piece of chocolate the government is after, so you know it's your Spy x Family shenanigans. Solid addition to the series.

This movie does a great job of balancing the two types of story elements in SpyxFamily; cute family scenes and exciting action sequences. The themes and character development feels natural to the series while still keeping in mind that this is a spin-off movie, with references to some season 1 episodes present to further connect to the series. That said, some of the plotlines fell a little flat (Yor’s in particular) which keeps me from giving a top score. It’s tough to make a storyline that fits with the show without feeling like it’s either essential to the plot or too obtrusive, so I’m giving ita pass even though it wasn’t to my taste, as it does realistically fit SpyxFamily as a whole quite well. As for the animation, this movie has a lot of fun sequences that play with animation styles. One sequence in particular had the whole theater laughing, so it’s definitely a fun viewing with lots of creative energy poured into it. Overall, this is a solid movie for fans of SpyxFamily. Watching the first season, or at least a few episodes, gives all the context for the movie’s plot, and the tone and pacing are quite similar to the show, so if you’ve seen a few episodes and liked what you saw, this movie will be fun to view.

while it's not a canon story, it still have that Spy x Family charm to it! this movie Upgrade everything! like more expression on every character especially Anya, she got more expressive on this movie. the visual while it's not the most beautiful, it still really good! Story is really simple, but they manage to make it exciting for the viewer. you don't need a lot of braincells to understand the story and the plot coz it's really simple. the villain well, kinda goofy. i mean it's Spy x Family sothe villain is not those really evil individuals that want to destroy the world or something. butthe most important part is i got a really good laugh on some part, like a really really good laugh that i almost can't breath inside the theatre LOL. overall this anime pack a ton of fun, joy, and warmness just like the main series. So if you haven't watch it, i recommend you to watch it!

Pack with action, comedy and of course family. When you think Anya doesn't get weirder, she got weirder. The animation, cinematography, color all of those are muach muach muach love it! Each member of the family has their own action scene and time to shine, even Bond. Anya get the weirder one for sure. There's a moment in the movie I was like "where the hell is this animation come from?" Those sound effect also spectacular, hence I recommend to watch it in cinema if it is available in your country! The plot is pretty simple and straight to the point with funny moment here and there, butthere's few moment that feels doesn't make sense and feels like a plot hole (or maybe paradox) if we reconsider with the original. But the movie doesn't count as canon, so I think it's okay. Overall it is A FUN MOVIE!!! I had a BLAST!

It was very random. The story kinda happens near Christmas time and I watched it during Christmas in Japan so it was just about the right time to watch the movie. Alot of things just happened spontaneously. The plot is pretty standard, the family gets introduced, they chill, a chance to get a star is given, the family tries to get it, goes through hard ship, family happy again. It is a great movie and matches with the Spy x Family worlds energy perfectly. I'd definetly look forward to Anya doing the weirdest things possible in another possible future Spy x Family movie. In general 10/10, good ED songsand funny story. Will watch again when film releases in EU.

I'll admit there may be some biases in my review having experienced a full house at midnight in Japan on a weekday, but this movie really encapsulates the charms of Spy x Family while keeping the audience engaged with a high-stakes story. Comparing it to the 2 seasons that have aired so far, this (while not "canon") is the most exciting Spy x Family arc I've been able to watch. If you enjoy Spy x Family as a whole, it's a great fun watch. Even for new watchers who want a nice movie to see if they want to give the show a try, itgives enough exposition to the characters for you to jump right in. Animation - top notch work from the animators at CloverWorks & Wit once again. The action scenes were splendid, easy to follow, and felt nicely paired with the ongoing plot. Yor fans will eat good. Story - Pacing was really nice, and what initially feels like separate anime episode mini-stories eventually blend nicely into an over-arching plot Humor - Each cast member's humor was written and executed in a very on-brand way. Especially Anya... But, yes, the movie is not perfect by all means. You can check my profile for my rating scale. There's inconsistencies, plot holes that make sense for a "filler movie", and lack of screen time for certain characters. Overall though, it was really enjoyable and a fun winter flick!
