I got to see Spy x Family Code: White today and oh my gosh, I had such a fun time (plus I got to see it with a close friend, so that always makes it more fun). I want to write more about it, but I can't right now. However, there is something I cannot stop thinking about, which for spoiler reasons I will put below a "Keep Reading" section.

I am still dying over the fact that when Anya and Bond ran off, she left a note, which Yor found and then brought to Loid.

And Mr. Westalis' Greatest Spy goes "I can't read it!"

Like it's a running joke (even throughout this movie) Anya has terrible handwriting, but something about this scene in particular broke me. He just seems so distraught.

Ah, poor Loid. One day Anya will improve or you will learn to read her handwriting...

I absolutely loved Spy X Family: Code White!!! But I have a question, does anyone know/remember WHY the mission is Code White??? Why is that the name? What does the color white have to do with any of this??

Spy x Family Code: White (Screen Time)

I ended up putting all of the characters in one card all together, since the smaller ones are still perfectly visible. I honestly expected at least one of the mains to cross one hour of screen time, and yet Loid is the first with just a little less than 37 minutes. Yor's time surprised me too, I thought she would be third in total, but the scenes of her searching through the airship and fighting Type F gave her more time than I'd anticipated.

For clarification, Luca is the bad guy with the short hair (whom Bond bit when he took Anya) and Dmitri is the bad guy with the long hair (the one who was into fortune telling). About 80% of their time was scenes where they were both on screen together, but I decided to count them separately too, as it was easy doing that after I'd gone through the entire film for the other characters.

Fiona, being the only secondary established character who had an active participation in the story, scores first among the rest, followed by Handler and Yuri (who also got extra screen time thanks to Yor's flashback). I counted Franky's post-credits scene too XD

So, yeah. This took a LONG time, it was more complicated than usual anime episodes because the animation was more detailed and there was more action in general, but I think it was worth it :)

Total character screen time: 01:24:24 (that's one hour, 24 minutes and 24 seconds)

P.S. If this is the first post you've seen from this blog, I have a FAQ that explains the rules by which I count each character's screen time.

SPY x FAMILY CODE: White Review

Ugh. I don't like anime. I can't really justify why, because things I don't like about anime is also found in stuff I like, like superhero comics or kaiju movies. There was already an anime movie in our theater. It was called Dragon Slayer or Demon Slayer or something, either way I didn't watch it because I haven't seen the anime. I haven't seen the SPY x FAMILY anime either, but I have read the manga. It's something that I can only read in very small bursts, but I do keep up with it. So I have no excuse to not watch this movie. I watched the sub version, but keep in mind I'd still complain about the voice acting in the dub.

What's The Movie About?

For convoluted reasons, a spy needs a fake family for a mission. He adopts a little girl who is psychic, fakes a marriage with an assassin, and they adopt a dog who can see the future. For other convoluted reasons, the family takes a vacation up north.

Honestly, if you don't already know the premise of the show, don't watch the movie. Not that you won't understand what is happening, it is pretty straightforward. But there are plenty of minor elements and character dynamics it skips over because the movie expects that the only people watching are people who've seen the series.

What I Like.

So the set-up of SPY x Family is really good. The main characters are great, and the idea of an entire family with each member having a major secret is a really good comedy premise. And the movie is just playing the greatest hits really. Do you like the joke where Yor is freakishly strong and no one seems to notice? They have that joke. Do you like the joke that Nightfall is obviously in love with Twilight and he doesn't notice? They have that joke. Do you like the joke of Anya mispronouncing every other word? What is wrong with you?

I will admit, I was down on the movie until the ending. The ending is pretty awesome, real damn fun, and gorgeously animated. It's almost always balls-to-the wall action, and all of the action looks really cool. The way they showcase motion is incredibly impressive. To be frank, I was barely paying attention until the climax started, then I was grinning. Every family member gets several moments to shine as well, it's incredibly fun. Yor fights a cyborg from Wolfenstein, it's amazing.

What I Didn't Like.

This movie takes a while to get going. In fact, the first half of the movie is really random. Part of the reason why is because they want to showcase every minor character in the series for at least a second, and part of it is because they are trying to be a showcase of every story beat the series pulls. Subplots kinda just come out of nowhere and resolve themselves are weird moments, never to be mentioned again. And the comedy, for me personally, is very hit and miss. The tone itself is hit or miss as well, thinking about it. One second we'll be focusing on the wacky side character obsessed with fortune-telling, then that wacky side character has a serious conversation about CUTTING OPEN A CHILD, then there is a hallucination sequence involving a poop god. All back to back. My final two criticisms are incredibly personal, and I don't know how many people will agree with me. One, I find Anya's voice annoying. I don't usually find how character's sound that bothersome. (Gurgy from the Black Cauldron doesn't bother me at all, actually. Neither does Jar Jar.) But for some reason she does. I think it's the combination of the volume of her voice with her "cutesy" way for talking. Two, THE MOVIE KEPT TEASING ME WITH MY SHIP. I, like many other fans I suspect, want Loid and Yor to end up together for real. They are, as the bards of the interwebs say, OTP. If they actually end up together I suspect it won't be until the end of the series. If it turns out something else, I would be sad but not disappointed I suppose. But I could do without all the almost kissing and getting intimate until Yor punches Loid and all of that kind of thing. It feels like being at a busy restaurant while starving, seeing the server heading towards your table with a tray of food, but them turning the corner right when they should arrive at your table.

Final Summation.

Honestly, thinking back to my experience, I mostly just remember the finale. That finale is really fun! But I think I'd rather just watch it isolated on YouTube or something. Which isn't to say the rest of the movie is bad necessarily. I guess my recommendation come to this: If you like SPY x FAMILY, you will like this movie. If you've never seen the show, but are interested in the premise, maybe check out the movie to see if you'd be interested in delving deeper. Otherwise, there's more fun and interesting movie out right now.
