"Spy X Family Code: White" - Review

In the fictional nation of Westalis, the spy known as "Twilight" (real name Loid Forger) does what he can to maintain peace between it and the neighbouring nation of Ostania by any means necessary. To this end, the super spy is maintaining a cover story as an ordinary citizen. He is in a false marriage to Ostanian super assassin Yor, A.K.A "The Thorn Princess", who has missions of her own. Completing the charade, the pair have adopted a child name Anya, who secretly has the ability to read minds, and an enormous dog named Bond, who can see the future... Needing to get Anya to do well at her school's cookery contest, Loid and Yor embark on a trip with her to the snowy country of Frigis to learn about the local desert of Meremere, favourite of the headmaster, and get caught up not only in their own heads and problems, but a nation spanning plot involving the evil Colonel Snidel...

I have not watched the series, but it sounds like a fun time. If it's anything like this, I feel I'd enjoy it. The film uses its comedy well: highly strung and exceedingly competent professionals with high end action movie jobs; juxtaposed with Yor being neurotic about whether or not she is a good wife, and Loid getting super into the work of finding ingredients at the expense of his mission. The jokes are well constructed, and translate well. Anya is adorable without being annoying, and is rather well written as child characters go. There are a pair of henchmen on their trail, one of whom is obsessed with Tarot and mysticism, which is a neat little character touch, and the "spy Adventure by accident" joke does not outstay its welcome. I liked this, well done movie! It's well animated and cute enough, and had me giggling at the characters rather than broad slapstick. There is a weirdly well-animated, stylistic poo-gag towards the end. Kudos.
