English Dub Review: Spy x Family “PENGUIN PARK”

Overview:

Loid is burdened with one mission after another from WISE and comes home exhausted. He then hears neighbors gossiping that he’s neglecting his family. Because he can’t let anyone doubt them as a family for the sake of Operation Strix, he decides to take his family to the aquarium the next day they have off to show everyone that they get along. However, he is assigned another mission from WISE while he’s there, and…

Our Take:

So let me get this straight Loid is expected to act like a kind, caring, and loving father and husband but also have to do a bunch of missions on the side? Something is going to give and the man needs a break! Things had to change when his neighbors start gossiping about him being a cheater because of how much he is gone. So a special family “ooting” was scheduled, and guess what? They gave him ANOTHER assignment! Sure it led to a cute penguin moment but still give my guy a break!

The worst part about this episode is that it’s the last one until October. I really hope they are able to simuldub it, but a one-week wait like last time wouldn’t be bad. As someone who counts Spy x Family as one of their favorite mangas, I LOVE how much people are enjoying the anime. It seems to be most people’s show of the season and is a heavy contender for anime of the year in my opinion. I think with its second cour airing in the fall that should be just enough time for it to be in contention for the Crunchyroll awards. I know where my votes will be going.
