Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today seems like a perfect day to treat ourselves to some cozy Spy x Family, so that\u2019s precisely what we\u2019re going to do. Our last episode provided an equal portioning of Spy x Family\u2019s two principle offerings: ludicrous spy drama shenanigans and heartfelt family drama. Of course, Endo\u2019s always gotta be mixing it up, so each of those courses were provided by an unexpected server, with Bond headlining the spy mission while the unfortunate Damien learned a thing or two about community and friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damien\u2019s unhappy family situation, and the way the lessons of his father have filtered down into his classroom social dynamics, have unsurprisingly made him one of my favorite characters in Spy x Family. While the Forger house is pretty close to idyllic, Damien embodies the consequences of family constructed as a strict hierarchy, where only deference and scholastic accomplishments might earn you the favor of your allegedly loving parents. Seeing both his peers and caretakers push him towards embracing ordinary, unconditional happiness has been one of the most satisfying arcs within Spy x Family, and I\u2019m anxious to see where his journey leads next. But whatever\u2019s coming, I\u2019m sure we\u2019re in for an altogether lovely time with this eminently likable production. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 28<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As is typical for Yuasa, there\u2019s a playful minimalism in the frames of this opening cut that goes beyond the exaggerated stride of the characters. I love the blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it frames conveying each new character hopping into the composition – you basically have to frame step it to appreciate little visual gags like Anya and Bond doing a synchronized cartwheel as Bond enters the frame<\/span><\/p>\n

The sequence overall makes me pretty enthusiastic about Yuasa\u2019s post-Science Saru career moves. I imagine the nitty-gritty corporate work of managing not just individual animation projects, but an entire studio ultimately felt pretty limiting relative to working directly on animation or smaller projects, and further away from what actually inspires him as an artist. That said, he\u2019s also one of a small handful of directors who always spearheads projects of genuine thematic heft, stuff that reaches beyond the adolescent paradigm that the industry at large is perpetually languishing within. I\u2019m hoping work on OPs like this is basically a stepping stone towards more ambitious, thoughtful projects like Kaiba and The Tatami Galaxy<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuasa working as a freelancer also likely means he\u2019ll be able to more frequently collaborate with other top shelf freelance animators, as this OP well demonstrates<\/span><\/p>\n

We open the episode on Yuri on headphones, listening in to a presumed spy rendezvous. If Yuri\u2019s line of work sounds interesting to you, I heartily recommend The Lives of Others, a fantastic film about a Stasi agent<\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting trick of presenting the meeting entirely in sepia tones, a neat way of evoking how Yuri is constructing this image purely from the sounds he\u2019s hearing<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a wonderful cell reserved just for you, so please accompany us to the station.\u201d Yuri\u2019s position as a sympathetic secondary character would be fraught even if his main personality tic were something more compelling than \u201csiscon.\u201d Yor sort of gets away with being an assassin because she\u2019s airheaded enough to truly believe she\u2019s fighting for justice, but there\u2019s really no sugar coating Yuri\u2019s line of work<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the more fundamental issue is that Endo wishes to seize on the aesthetic and narrative tropes of East versus West Germany without digging deeply into the attendant moral questions, beyond a general understanding that open war would be catastrophic for the children of tomorrow. It\u2019s a tricky balance that necessitates a certain lack of focus when it comes to the political specifics of someone like Yuri\u2019s work, lest he become irreparably unsympathetic<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

His next target is a reporter named Franklin Perkin<\/span><\/p>\n

This could actually be a tidy humanizing beat for Yuri, if his conscience ultimately leads him to exonerate this man. Yuri could certainly use more non-Yor-related characterization!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even stand the thought of this filth breathing the same air as my sister.\u201d Well, we take what we can get<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s definitely a certain thrill in witnessing Yuri catalog all the details of his target\u2019s daily routine. Anya is right; watching spies do spy things will always be a good time<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently Franklin shares Becky\u2019s appreciation for Berlint in Love. You don\u2019t need copious worldbuilding to construct a convincing fictional reality; just a few shared details of culture that crop up in unexpected places will often do<\/span><\/p>\n

The landlady arrives to complain about Franklin\u2019s tardy rent, and we also learn he lives with his elderly father. Franklin just seems like a modest, quietly unhappy guy so far<\/span><\/p>\n

The color design of this episode segment echoes its gloomy, oppressive mood: all browns and grays, the lived experience of life under surveillance captured in the world\u2019s lack of vibrancy<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Given his presumably sympathetic ideals, the show demonizes Franklin through more superficial acts of villainy, like bullying some kids playing in the street. It\u2019s a classic narrative style of reasserting the status quo against revolutionary \u201cvillainy\u201d – if your villain is actually holding the more philosophically defensible position, you undercut his point by having him kick a puppy or something. In our world, where defending the current status quo frequently means defending the military-industrial complex and America\u2019s unchecked colonial aspirations, cinematic villains are often more righteous than their opponents<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you didn\u2019t have your odd sense of justice, you\u2019d be able to keep your job at the paper.\u201d Alright, here\u2019s the good stuff. Yuri overhears a conversation between Franklin and his father, which reveals the sacrifices Franklin has made in order to pursue a better future for his country, and how he must balance his own sense of righteousness against his need to support his family<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuri at last pauses in his note-taking, struck by their common motivation<\/span><\/p>\n

At the post office, Franklin uses his position to slip letters past the point of inspection. Presumably his letters are actually going to be of some sympathetic personal nature<\/span><\/p>\n

On the 15th, Yuri comes to collect him. Nice sequence of expressions here, as he clearly shifts from panic at being discovered, to consideration of how he might escape, to resignation that all he can do is hand himself in, lest his father incur the punishment intended for him<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMe, who fought the government, and you, the government\u2019s dog\u2026 I wonder who is more pathetic?\u201d \u201cI would never do anything to make my family unhappy.\u201d The upper limit of Yuri\u2019s moral philosophy, a concern only for the people directly around him. Endo himself seems less sure; much of Spy x Family emphasizes how our capacity for positive change mostly exists on the personal level, like taking care of Anya, but Loid\u2019s spy work embodies a greater ideal of justice. It\u2019s a perpetual friction that can\u2019t really be resolved; there is honor and dignity in dedicating yourself to either small, individual acts of kindness or grand acts of political liberation<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuri finds his own compromise in ensuring that Franklin\u2019s father will receive the financial aid necessary to get by<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuri\u2019s coworkers seem to find his chipper dedication to their work charming but na\u00efve<\/span><\/p>\n

But enough about Yuri, it\u2019s time for Bondman!<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god, I love their imitation of low-rent cel animation for this Bondman episode. Nice subtle tricks like a black smudge being left on one of the cels depicting Bondman\u2019s lip flap movements, so it appears and disappears every time he opens his mouth<\/span><\/p>\n

Also the whole thing\u2019s kinda blurry, presumably because they\u2019re imitating a stretched 480p resolution<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all human beings. Why must we fight over something so arbitrary as a boundary?\u201d \u201cIn that case, why don\u2019t you try and stop this conflict!?\u201d Damn, Bondman getting into the heavy shit<\/span><\/p>\n

Bondman seduces a procession of Bond Girls with an increasingly halfhearted series of romantic gestures. He\u2019s a smooth one<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to make every last lady in this world happy!\u201d Bondman living through the Persona 5 Valentine\u2019s Day Massacre. I still have nightmares about that scene<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI see. So this is what a flirting story is like. Now I can discuss this with Becky.\u201d You learn so much from cartoons<\/span><\/p>\n

Ooh, lovely watercolor-style aesthetic for this post-episode omake. I appreciate Spy x Family\u2019s dedication to adapting all these goofy little side stories; the manga seems to often be at its best with gags that verge on 4komas, like Bond\u2019s feud with Mr. Penguin<\/span><\/p>\n

This second omake clearly just an excuse to put Anya in a goofy diving cap, a worthy goal<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Another solid episode of Spy x Family! I was quite happy to see Yuri finally getting something to do aside from freaking out over his sister, and was furthermore relieved to find his vignette concluded with a touch of genuine moral complexity. It seemed like they were going down a route of conveniently demonizing Franklin, but it was actually the opposite; Franklin came off looking more morally upright than Yuri, something Yuri seemed to acknowledge himself. Beyond its energetic spy shenanigans and warm family moments, there is an inherent tension in Spy x Family regarding your responsibility to your family versus your role in society at large, and it\u2019s encouraging to see Endo navigating that intersection with increasing thoughtfulness. Carry on, Forgers!<\/span><\/p>\n
