The reception of the Spy x Family anime based on Tatsuya Endo’s manga of the same name ended up breaching all kinds of demographic and genre barriers, becoming a cutesy, wholesome anime beloved by all. After the recent announcements about the series, Here’s everything we know about the Spy x Family Movie.
Trailers and Announcements
Fans will get to see the shenanigans of the Forgers again in 2023, that too on the silver screen. The announcement PV for the movie was actually a dual announcement that also included the announcement for the release of the second season of the anime.
After that, a separate teaser was revealed for the movie. The movie is titled Spy x Family: Code White. Although short and crisp, the trailer showcased a poster of the Forgers, with Loid in his badass self, Yor with her trademark charm and intimidating stance, and Anya along with Bond displaying their comically oblivious ‘pose’ of seriousness.
What can we expect?
The Movie and the second season were announced at the Jump Festa 2023 and as a way to mark that, the creator Endo released a special artwork that featured the Forgers riding a small plane, alongside the above-mentioned poster.
The movie is set to be directed by Takashi Katagiri, who has worked on several amazing episodes from the first season. The primary director of the first season, Kazuhiro Furuhashi, will take up a supervisory role in the movie while he works on the second season.
When does it come out?
At Anime Japan Expo that happened in March, it was confirmed that Spy x Family: Code White is expected to release on Friday, December 22, 2023. Fans of the anime will have to prepare for the quite wholesome Christmas of a movie to enjoy during the holidays.
On the other hand, the second season of the Spy x Family anime is being prepped for an October 2023 release.
Plot and Premise
As far as the movie is concerned, both the trailer and the announcement PV offer very little information, leaving most details up to speculations. However, some comparisons can be drawn from what we have. We see Loid asking Anya about where she wants to go for the weekend, followed by a shot of Forgers flying on a plane.
This is the same plane that Endo drew as an artwork. This might point to the movie being a getaway or vacation story where the Forgers visit a place outside of their current city for a purpose. Loid or Yor might have individual missions at this new destination, while Anya tries to juggle both of their antics with her own shenanigans.
Conclusion
Overall, fans of the Spy x Family anime and manga both are very excited about this double treat in the form of a second season and anime that is being served for them. The first season proved what kind of a fantastic masterpiece both in terms of visuals and production quality can be produced if two of the best anime studios combine their efforts.
Continuing their partnership, Spy x Family: Code White will also be an incredible collaboration between Cloverworks and Wit, providing another spectacular feast for the eyes to end the year with.
