I think a very important distinction to be made between Spy x Family and Buddy Daddies (that can also hopefully stop ppl from comparing them in bad faith) is that Kazuki and Rei are supposed to be messy and somewhat incompetent. They have very specific skills but they are mostly just fuck it we balling all situations all the time. Kazuki’s plans are stablished to constantly fall apart and Rei is shown to be impulsive and willing to jump straight into the danger when the plans fail. They are not supposed to be as competent as Loid and Yor - not at their jobs and not at raising a kid. They go about it in fundamentally different ways in both shows and if you go in expecting them to be carbon copies of each other you will be disappointed and for stupidly unfair reasons too

To put it simply - they are different shows and their character dynamics are fundamentally different

#honestly just got a bit tired of the comparison being done in bad faith #there’s a lot of fun to be had with comparing them and drawing parallels but like #let’s be reasonable about it #Kazuki and Rei are SUPPOSED to be hella incompentent parents #they’re supposed to be messy young adults that don’t have anything figured out yet #it’s the fun in them even #and I might go into it in more detail at some point but for now that’s that #anyway #kazuki and rei are SUPPOSED to be cringe fail loser guys that’s the point of them #suwa rei #kurusu kazuki #buddy daddies
