Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am suffering in the grip of my first winter cold, with snuffles, a sore throat, and a persistent headache all collaborating to bring me down. I\u2019d say I\u2019m \u201cunder the weather,\u201d but frankly the weather today is also pretty miserable – as such, I have decided there is no recourse to lighten the mood but to indulge in a fresh episode of Spy x Family, and see what those wacky Forgers are up to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our last episode was actually quite light on Forgery, concerning itself primarily with Yuri\u2019s investigations of a potential political dissident. Forgunately (okay, I\u2019ll stop), with Yor out of the picture, we were able to see a somewhat less one-note portrait of Yuri as well. Like his sister, his dedication to his mission stems from a fundamental conflation of family and country, and when he\u2019s forced to reckon with how his \u201cenemies\u201d are just as dedicated to their own families, his resolve immediately wavers. The siblings are essentially both child soldiers who\u2019ve grown into adulthood without abandoning their naive ideals of binary justice, making them perfect tools of political suppression. That certainly makes them unusual stars of a wacky romantic comedy, but that\u2019s really Spy x Family all over, isn\u2019t it? Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Episode 29<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open on \u201cThe Pastry of Knowledge,\u201d which is apparently known as one of the Seven Wonders of Eden College. This whole \u201cseven wonders\u201d or \u201cseven mysteries\u201d of a given school crops up again and again in anime, with the trope tracing back to the \u201cSeven Wonders of Honjo Ward\u201d in Tokyo at the beginning of the 20th century, which was then echoed by other regions\u2019 seven wonders or mysteries. Along with being an easily understood reference point for Japanese audiences, it\u2019s also simply a convenient dramatic device – it\u2019s a punchy phrase and a reasonable number of challenges or objectives, making me wonder if even Toriyama was drawing on the legend for his seven dragon balls. He certainly didn\u2019t snag that element from Journey to the West, the source of most other early Dragon Ball conceits<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany students who taste these pastries end up as imperial scholars.\u201d Yeah, it\u2019s an easy device to fit to basically any narrative formula<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I appreciate the narrative throughline that Loid\u2019s attempts at brewing and serving coffee add to this OP. It\u2019s essentially the fundamental genre contrast of Spy x Family reduced to its essence: attempting to maintain a peaceful family life in spite of all the complications inherent in being a secret agent<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCould you be the prince I met before?\u201d \u201cNo, I am your clone.\u201d Becky and Anya\u2019s divergent genres interests make for some oddly lopsided fantasy adventures<\/span><\/p>\n

Becky reveals that next semester, they\u2019ll be separated into classes based on their current grades. Shock!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common for stories to ask their readers to believe one impossible thing, but Spy x Family is pretty darn greedy in that regard; beyond Loid and Yor never discovering each other, we\u2019re also supposed to believe Anya could somehow muddle her way through at Eden. Though I suppose that\u2019s what her esper powers are for<\/span><\/p>\n

An older student barges into the cafeteria, eager to dispense our episodic conflict<\/span><\/p>\n

The pastry is apparently macarons this year, which will naturally facilitate a more extended conflict than fighting over a single pie or whatnot<\/span><\/p>\n

I appreciate Anya\u2019s Naruto run as she races down the hallways. Glad to see she\u2019s getting a more varied media diet than just Bondman all the time<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ever-unfortunate George snags the last order of macarons. This will not stand!<\/span><\/p>\n

He gallantly offers four of his five macarons, leading into a high-stakes game of Old Maid to see who will be left out<\/span><\/p>\n

An unusually depth-rich layout here as the gang settle in for card combat. Layouts with a real sense of depth and intelligent composition have become an unfortunate casualty of anime\u2019s digital age – when your backgrounds are separately implemented CG buildings rather than a meaningful element of your storyboards, you can frequently lose the sense that your characters actually exist within their environment (much like the flat look of overly CG-reliant live action cinema). Spy x Family\u2019s CG backgrounds are persistently its biggest visual weakness, so it\u2019s nice to see some compositions pushing back against the downsides of its general aesthetic<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anya begins her turn by announcing what cards she has in her hand. Hoo boy<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, even an esper who doesn\u2019t know the rules is going to triumph in Old Maid<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent detail of her referring to aces and kings as \u201cA\u201d and \u201cOld Man\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anya takes the joker in order to prove she\u2019s\u2019 not psychic, but the boys\u2019 resultant glee almost prompts her to throw hands. Fortunately, Becky is there to quell her fiery temper<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI need to be a cool liar like Papa!\u201d It\u2019s true, Loid should indeed be an excellent teacher for Anya. The goal of a spy is not be ostentatiously impressive, but to be anonymous – if Anya wants to exploit her esper powers to best possible effect, she needs to make her ability completely invisible<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Anya\u2019s esper abilities have allowed her to leave other elements of subterfuge underdeveloped, meaning her poker face is roughly as good as Umi from Love Live<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I lose, I won\u2019t be able to eat that dessert and I\u2019ll stay dumb!\u201d Only the highest-stakes of conflicts here at Spy x Family<\/span><\/p>\n

But in the end, her terrible poker face actually saves her, as Damian is unable to withstand the sheer heartbreak of her expression at the thought of losing Becky. I feel like this production divides its most impressive feats of animation fairly evenly between Yor battles and Anya faces<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, Anya\u2019s resultant power-up leads us to some truly delightful smears, with fun flourishes of heavy shading and rough linework complimenting Anya\u2019s high-octane scribbling<\/span><\/p>\n

Also just a terrific deadpan to top this all off, as Anya realizes macaroons don\u2019t make you smarter<\/span><\/p>\n

Loid notes she did unusually well on her ancient language test. So did she pick up some Latin over the course of whatever project turned her into an esper? Endo\u2019s planting a long-term seed here, and it\u2019s certainly an intriguing one<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This episode\u2019s employing a fair number of screen-in-screen shots, an unusual choice for this production. I wonder who directed this episode, as odds are pretty darn low it was one of the two directors I associate with the technique (Masaomi Ando and friggin\u2019 Tomino)<\/span><\/p>\n

Our B-part begins with Loid meeting up with Franky, who informs him that a league of assassins known as \u201cGarden\u201d have killed one of his own contacts. Aw shit, is Loid drawing closer to Yor\u2019s group!?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey eliminate one traitor after another on the shadow government\u2019s orders.\u201d Kinda funny how we can only get objective information about Yor\u2019s work from Franky, since Yor has such a rosy-eyed idea of what she\u2019s actually accomplishing<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJust one of their soldiers can take down a whole squad!\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t be ridiculous.\u201d He\u2019s not, Loid<\/span><\/p>\n

Franky enlists Loid in the recovery of a lost cat, in order to impress a girl at a local cafe<\/span><\/p>\n

Some nice character acting for Franky as he calls in a variety of favors. Spy x Family pays unusual attention to the distinctive body language of each of its principles, which makes sense – so much of what defines its characters is clear in their methods of movement, whether it\u2019s Yor\u2019s smooth agility, Loid\u2019s understated confidence, or Anya\u2019s convincingly childlike uncertainty on her feet<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Franky runs into Yor, who agrees to help him with his quest. No surprise there – \u201cYor applies her preposterous physical agility to an exceedingly mundane task\u201d is one of Spy x Family\u2019s staples, as demonstrated through her rush to reunite Anya with her gym clothes<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve placed several of my cat-shaped wiretaps around.\u201d Yor, of course, finds nothing unreasonable in Franky possessing an army of cat-shaped wiretaps. Bless her heart<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI guess the world of kitties is also cruel\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYor and Franky get overwhelmed by a kitty army\u201d is a robust and laudable episode premise<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The animators are clearly having far too much fun depicting Yor spinning wildly with half a dozen cats hanging off of her<\/span><\/p>\n

Extremely realistic cat behavior here too: running into a crowded street just to fuck with you, acting entirely indifferent to being saved and returned to its owner. Cats are assholes, but I suppose that\u2019s part of the appeal<\/span><\/p>\n

Back at the office, Yor is delighted to learn how normal she has become. I love it when the Forgers brag about how normal they are<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Well team, I\u2019m not sure we can consider that one a victory, what with Anya still flunking her tests and Franky suffering yet another rejection. But nonetheless, great triumphs were achieved in the fields of Old Maid and cat recovery, in this episode that joyfully embodied so much of what makes Spy x Family fun. Playful animation, preposterously overdramatized shenanigans, and charming moments shared by the Forger\u2019s increasingly extended family – these adventures saw Endo and this production team in confident form, and I\u2019m eager to dig into whatever Yor mission necessitated an ominous episode stinger. More cats, maybe? Regardless, I\u2019m ready for the next one!<\/span><\/p>\n
