After getting sick with a stomach ache on Saturday, getting distracted / lost track of time on Sunday night, and finally getting to play Pokémon Scarlet with my brother (who got Violet) on Monday, which me and my brother have been playing non stop in our free time for past few days... 😵
I have FINALLY watched Spy X Family episode 20...!! 😤 And here's my thoughts:
Tumblr media
I really enjoyed it...!! 😁
Tumblr media
Saturday's episode covered Mission 29 and did some more anime only stuff, which I very much appreciate...! 😄 In fact, one of my favorite parts of the episode was when Yor imagines taking Anya to her assassin job! 😁
Tumblr media
Now I a ready enjoyed this part in manga, but I think that the anime made it EVEN BETTER!! 😆 And though they censored the blood and gore...:
Tumblr media
It was still so fun to watch!! 😁
There was one thing that I preferred in the manga over the anime, though... And that was THIS FACE that Anya made:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean, they're pretty much the same face... But, I just prefer how the one in the manga looks...! 😌
But, I have to say... THIS FACE was definitely captured PERFECTLY in the anime: 👌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And though this isn't a change in the anime, I wanted to share a change from the manga!
You see, when Mission 29 first released digitally, the woman in the pictures below (whose name I won't reveal) looked completely different...
As you can see, in the first version: Both of her eyes are shown, her top button was undone, she had no earings, and her head looked a lot more narrow... While in the official volume release, she looks the way she does now...!:
Tumblr media
Apparently, Tatsuya Endo (the creator of Spy X Family) had a really hard time designing her, but knew that he wanted her to have short, light-colored hair...! 😄 Pretty neat, right...? 👌
Anyway, on to the anime part of the episode:
Tumblr media
IT WAS ADORABLE AND FUNNY...!! 😆
I loved seeing Anya give everyone a secret code, especially to Damian and Franky (their parts were my favorite...!!) 😂 Everything about this half of the episode was such a nice addition to the series as whole... 😊
And those were my thoughts on episode 20! Sorry it took so long...! 😅 I will say that I am quite intrigued by the next up in coming episode of the anime... Mainly because it looks as though they're adding another anime only part (which I'm usually fine with), but honestly... I don't know how to feel about that just yet... 🤷
Anyway, I'll see you all in a few days for the anime, and then the manga...! 😊 PEACE! ✌

Mission 20: Investigate the General Hospital | Decipher the Perplexing Code
ANYA SWEEP
I'm very amused by the fact that Henderson had exactly 1 minute of screentime, to the decimal, in this one.
Look at this tiny line of Fiona there at the end. She'll get there! A bit!
Also, I kinda kept time here. With a bit of lease, since I was going at it relaxed, got up for water, paused to get my music in order, it took about one hour and a half to analyze the episode. This one was pretty easy to do. Though it had many characters, they were spread out evenly and most of the screentime was with Anya and Loid in the hospital.
Total character screentime: 16:36,56

Look. I just need my comfort shows, alright?! If modern cartoons are going to make me panic over what is going to go wrong in season 2 after season 1 was all fluffy with rainbows and butterflies, then I'm going back to the classics where at least I know who is sent to the shadow realm and who gets the last minute power boost or demon ancestor

Spy x Family Operation Diary - original illustrations
As Anya interacts with different characters in the SxF game, you'll unlock unique cutscenes with them, as well as original anime art exclusive to the game 😄 Now that I've completed the game, I wanted to share all 20 of these illustrations, starting with my favorites...wholesome Forgers ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, that is the castle from episode 5 in the below picture! It's the last family outing place you can unlock in the game. The Forgers even acknowledge that they've been there before, which is a nice bit of continuity with the series (same with the Berlint aquarium).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I adore the below scene of Yor & Anya 💖 I think I've mentioned before that they're my favorite relationship in the series along with Twiyor, and they had so many cute interactions in the game~
Tumblr media
The context of the below scene is that Loid is working late so Yor has to cook, much to Anya and Bond's dismay! Yor says that she'll start dinner once they clean up, so Anya and Bond purposely stall by making more of a mess, which gives Loid enough time to get home and do the cooking instead 😆
Tumblr media
One of the scenes was a reenactment of the part from episode 12 where Loid and Yor pretend to go on a mission with Anya and her toys to get her to stop crying!
Tumblr media
Also lots of scenes with poor Anya trying her best to study 😅
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She doesn't fair much better at Eden, lol. At least she always has Becky for support (despite her silly crush on Loid!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course, the usual squabbles with Damian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The context of the below scene is Anya trying to tell Damian that she wants to get along with him (for the sake of Plan B). As usual, that just makes him more flustered!
Tumblr media
Lastly, Yuri and Fiona each got one event scene each. I especially like the Fiona one, it was a nice callback to episode 21 when she first visits the Forger house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you haven't seen already, I also made a post about the gameplay basics of Operation Diary here, as well as a post about the mini-games here. I plan to make at least one or two more posts about the game, so stay tuned~

Opinions under the cut. May include spoilers from any of the shows.
Dimension 20 Burrow's End: I didn't manage to finish it before Fantasy High Junior Year started so it's kind of on the back burner for D20 shows. I really enjoy it though. I like that all the PCs are family and that makes for interesting dynamics. It's more scary than Neverafter imo just because taking something normal like nature and messing with it is more creepy. Aabriya does a great job as DM obviously.
Dimension 20 Fantasy High Junior Year: Fantasy High got me into Dimension 20 so I'm very excited for this one. It's going to be interesting to see the Bad Kids' personal struggles and how they deal with them. Episode 2 made me feel bad for what they're going through.
Spy x Family: Spy x Family is always a nice chill show. Season 2 was very good and I liked seeing Yor in action.
Kekkai Sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront: Trying to find the motivation to continue watching this. I just feel like it isn't going anywhere with the plot or the characters and that's a shame because the concept of Hellsalem's Lot and Libra's members are interesting. They just introduced the threat of vampires so maybe that will pick up and I need to watch a little more, but I'm a little bored.
The Apothecary Diaries: This is what I put Kekkai Sensen on pause for. A little hesitant because most of what I'd seen of it was romance and usually romance only really intrigues me if it's balanced with something else. The palace setting and the different situations that Maomao applies to her apothecary knowledge to are the perfect balance. The romance mostly takes a backseat to it actually. I like Maomao a lot as the protagonist. She's smart and has a realistic take on a lot of things, especially since she's lower class. I enjoy watching her figure things out.
Hazbin Hotel: I watched the pilot last year and got really invested in Hazbin Hotel which is lucky because some people have been waiting much longer to get more of the show. I watched all four episodes the day they were released and liked them a lot. A lot more songs than I thought there would be but I liked most of them. Favorites go to Respectless, Poison, and Stayed Gone. I think episode four was the best because it had the best balance of overlord plot with hotel shenanigans. It think it handled Angel Dust's situation well too. It also made me like Husker a lot more than I thought I would. The voice actors did a great job and the animation was really good.
I do believe you still need to watch the pilot before the stuff on Amazon though. It does a better job of introducing the world, characters, and hotel plot where the new episodes then pick up. I'm not sure if that's what the creators want, but it might be confusing for newcomers to the show if they don't know about the pilot. Very excited to see more Hazbin Hotel though.

I don’t even know what sxf is but your art makes me want to watch(?) it so bad. (Feel free to pitch it to me!)
EEK THAT'S SO LOVELY okay here's the pitch:
spy x family is a manga-turned-anime comedy series - do not let ANY of what the fandom says let you forget this, because people tend to talk about it like it's some serious dark noir/forbidden love story - NO! it is a COMEDY SERIES first and foremost! and while the comedy obviously translates better in the anime, the manga is still mega funny. it takes all the best parts of comedic manga and anime - i.e. the hyperbolisation of everything to an absurd degree - and does it perfectly and consistently throughout the whole show. there's a lot of serious stuff i love about sxf, but the biggest appeal is just how fun it is to watch. it's silly, it's funny, it's fucking adorable and heartwarming. each episode is 20 minutes of joy.
and the premise is basically that a spy, loid, has to put together a fake family to pose as a regular citizen as part of his spy mission. and so he adopts a kid, anya, and then enters a marriage of convenience with a woman called yor, who agrees to it because living as a single woman in their country makes her an easy target for the secret service (which was a real phenomenon with single women in history btw!). so yor doesn't know loid is a spy and thinks he just agreed to help her out.
but yor is also leading a double life. she's an assassin, a very good one, and so she has 10x the reason to want to keep the secret service off her back. loid does not know that she is an assassin, and so they have a mutual thing going on where they try to hide their secret lives from each other while maintaining a fake relationship
and on TOP of that, anya, the daughter loid adopted, was a victim of wartime experimentation and has telepathic powers as a result. so she knows loid is a spy, knows yor is an assassin, is herself 4 years old and thinks they are the coolest people alive, and tries her best to help out with her parents' missions without letting on that she can read their minds. but most of the time she just uses her telepathy to manipulate her parents into letting her get, like, the snacks she wants. again, 4 years old.
very silly, very sweet, they're all hiding their secret identities from each other and form a united front to pretend to be a normal family to the rest of the world
and it ends up being like the fake dating trope (with loid and yor, obviously) where pretending to be married leads to sitcom shenanigans and eventually real romantic feelings developing. but the fun of the fake dating trope is expanded to the whole family, where the three of them have to pretend to have known each other and loved each other for a long time, have to work together to avoid suspicion from outsiders, and in doing so form very genuine familial bonds. this is particularly significant for loid, who intends to leave the other two behind once his mission is complete, so he has incentive to not get emotionally attached. but he can't help it. he grows to love them both. which is a very juicy emotional dilemma, and the impending choice loid will have to make about prioritising his family, or his work as a spy, is the emotional crux of the show.
yeah. it's an absurd setup done completely unironically with boatloads of tenderness and cuteness and comedy. it's sort of my favourite thing to watch ever and i highly, highly recommend it.

I've been seeing people complain about Buddy Daddies' knack for speed running through its episodes and...yeah it really does.
I also wish they didn't do that, but I honestly prefer this over cliffhangers or a slew of open-ended plot points.
More importantly though, please keep in mind that it's an original anime, one that's been slated for 13 episodes with no announcement of a future season yet. The team likely considered the length they were given and didn't want too many overarching stories for it, so they opted to go for a more episodic approach where most things would resolve within a singular episode. Not too many original slice of life/found family anime get approved for 20+ episodes, especially nowadays, so I'm just grateful this anime exists in the first place.
And I don't want to try and predict the future or anything, but I feel like the chances of a 2nd season at least exist considering how well known Buddy Daddies has become (outside of constantly being compared to the barely similar Spy x Family).
Cut Buddy Daddies some slack, it's doing it's best-

RESULTS on Opinions on TwiYor and DamiAnya
Hi! First of all, thank you so much for the 250 responses on my “Opinions on TwiYor and DamiAnya” survey conducted from 27 - 30 Aug 2022. The survey was shared on Twitter and Tumblr (to my knowledge). I was interested to see the demographics of TwiYor mains and DamiAnya mains considering they’re the two “main” ships of Spy x Family.
I asked every respondent to acknowledge they were ship positive or ship neutral to both ships so there won’t be ship bashing. This is definitely not meant to pit two ships against each other; I’m just curious about the fandom demographics.
Additionally, as a DamiAnya centric account, the results are likely skewed towards DamiAnya. This is not representative of the (English-speaking) fandom.
So, here we go! (Numbers corrected to 1 decimal point)
Tumblr media
59.2% (148) of respondents preferred DamiAnya, while 40.8% (102) of respondents preferred TwiYor. I was a little surprised by how DamiAnya mains consist of almost 60% of respondents, even taking in account the survey is skewed in their direction.
Tumblr media
More than 75% of respondents are adults (18 or above), with the most common age range being 20-25, followed by 25-30. Not surprising considering the two leads of SxF are also around that age.
8.8% (22) of respondents are 13-15, 14.4% (36) are 16-17, 15.6% (39) are 18-19, 36.4% (91) are 20-25, 19.6% (49) are 25-30, and 5.2% (13) are 30-40. No one chose 40+. Spy x Family is a big hit with adults.
And now the exciting part that I conducted this survey for! How age might correlate with your choice!
(Percentages are of how many people chose that ship in that age range over the total number of respondents in said age range)
DamiAnya:
13-15: 19 (86.4%)
16-17: 30 (83.3%)
18-19: 25 (64.1%)
20-25: 52 (57.1%)
25-30: 19 (38.8%)
30-40: 3 (23.1%)
For DamiAnya mains, respondents aged 20-25 take up 35.1%, 16-17 take up 20.3%, 18-19 take up 16.9%, 13-15 and 25-30 take up 12.8% each, 30-40 take up 2%. Interesting how there’s a dip for the 18-19 age range when it’s sandwiched between the 16-17 and 20-25 age range.
TwiYor:
13-15: 3 (13.6%)
16-17: 6 (16.7%)
18-19: 14 (35.9%)
20-25: 39 (42.9%)
25-30: 30 (61.2%)
30-40: 10 (76.1%)
For TwiYor mains, respondents aged 20-25 take up 38.2%, 25-30 take up 29.4%, 18-19 take up 13.7%, 30-40 take up 9.8%, 16-17 take up 5.9%, 13-15 take up 2.9%. Unlike DamiAnya mains, the pattern shown here is consistent, with numbers rapidly rising and peaking at the 20-25 age range, then slowly falling.
It looks like what a lot of people have stated is correct- the younger fans prefer DamiAnya, the older fans prefer TwiYor. It’s neat to see the percentage go down / go up according to age.
Starting from the 25-30 age group, TwiYor is more favoured, which aligns with the ages of the two characters. Conversely, DamiAnya (which is often aged up to teen years) is more popular with the teen group.
For gender, 75.6% answered female, 6% answered nonbinary, 5.6% answered male, 1.2% answered bigender, 1.2% answered agender, 0.8% answered pangender / genderfluid, one respondent answered demigirl, 8.8% preferred not to answer. (The stats on the pie chart are slightly inaccurate because two people put down “female” on the other option)
The next question is “When did you start reading / watching SxF OR When did you get into the fandom?”. Respondents could choose from “When there was only the SxF manga” “After the SxF trailers were posted but before the anime aired” “During the period in which the SxFanime aired its first 12 episodes” and “After the SxF anime aired its first 12 episodes”.
Tumblr media
Overall, 46.4% (116) respondents answered “during the anime period”, 30.8% (77) answered “when there was only the manga”, 15.2% (38) answered “after trailers but before the anime”, 7.6% (19) answered “after the anime”. The anime more than doubled the existing fanbase from the manga.
To separate into ships again:
DamiAnya:
When there was only the manga: 43 (55.8%)
After the trailers but before the anime: 24 (63.2%)
During the anime period: 76 (65.5%)
After the anime: 5 (26.3%)
TwiYor:
When there was only the manga: 34 (44.2%)
After the trailers but before the anime: 14 (36.8%)
During the anime period: 40 (34.5%)
After the anime: 14 (73.7%)
The stats are fairly consistent until it comes to “after the anime”. I wonder what prompted it?
[Manga spoilers!]
In the chapters between the end of the anime and this survey (end of June 2022 to end of August 2022), the manga covered: Anya + Henderson (Ch 64), Yor meets Damian’s mom (Ch 65-66), Anya + Damian, Yor + Shopkeeper, Loid + Fiona (Ch 67.1). If anything, we recently got more Anya + Damian canon content than TwiYor.
The next question asked “Is SxF your first fandom?”.
Tumblr media
91.2% (228) answered no, 7.2% (18) answered “I do not consider myself as part of the SxF fandom”, and 1.6% (4) answered yes. If you’re new to fandoms, welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here!
Considering the vast majority answered no, it’s assumed the respondents are aware of fandom etiquette such as proper tagging. And you can click away if you see art / fic you don’t like.
The next question is “Would you call yourself a fan who creates fancontent for either or both of those ships?”.
Tumblr media
55.2% (138) answered no, 44.8% (112) answered yes. It’s a pretty even division.
Out of the 112 creators, 58.9% (66) are DamiAnya mains, 41.1% 46 are TwiYor mains, which I suppose shows how small of a corner this survey touched? I don’t know how to count fanarts on various sites, but at the moment I’m writing this, there are 1303 TwiYor works and 698 DamiAnya works on Ao3. I’m a DamiAnya fic author and my circle consists of other DamiAnya fic authors, so again this survey is skewed in DamiAnya’s direction.
And finally, for the sites respondents use to browse for SxF content / fancontent.
Tumblr media
206 (82.4%) answered Ao3, 202 (80.8%) answered Twitter, 169 (67.6%) answered Tumblr, 87 (24.8%) answered Instagram, 67 (26.8%) answered Pixiv, 25 (18%) answered Discord, 44 (17.6%) answered Reddit, 23 (9.2%) answered Wattpad, 20 (8%) answered FFN. A couple answered YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, and Tiktok. Yup, Ao3 supremacy.
I also asked about nationality (optional question). Fom experience, DamiAnya seems to be popular in the Asian community (I’ve dug around in the Chinese fandom). Not everybody answered, but for those who did:
(I’m very sorry for excluding those who put multiple because I don’t know how to categorise them for this survey)
American: 32
Filipino: 18
Brazilian: 9
Indonesian: 8
Peruvian: 5
Mexican: 4
Argentinian: 4
British: 3
Canadian: 3
White: 3
French: 3
Vietnamese: 2
Asian: 2
German: 2
Indian: 2
Hispanic: 2
Hong Kong: 2
SEA: 2
Malaysian: 2
Chinese: 2
Panamanian: 1 (DamiAnya)
Australian: 1 (DamiAnya)
African European: 1 (TwiYor)
Half Mexican half European: 1 (DamiAnya)
Black / African American: 1 (DamiAnya)
Honduran: 1 (DamiAnya)
American / Chinese: 1 (TwiYor)
Costa Rican: 1 (DamiAnya)
Moroccan: 1 (DamiAnya)
Saudi Arabian: 1 (DamiAnya)
Venezuelan: 1 (DamiAnya)
Thai: 1 (TwiYor)
Bulgarian: 1 (DamiAnya)
Egyptian: 1 (DamiAnya)
Ukrainian: 1 (DamiAnya)
Lezgin: 1 (DamiAnya)
New Zealand: 1 (DamiAnya)
Taiwanese: 1 (TwiYor)
Chinese / Filipino: 1 (DamiAnya)
English Chinese: 1 (DamiAnya)
Swedish: 1 (TwiYor)
Chilean: 1 (DamiAnya)
Iraqi: 1 (DamiAnya)
This is an incredibly long list but I’ll try to note down more significant findings. In the above list, I already put down the preferences of those who only had one reply.
DamiAnya:
15 out of 18 Filipinos preferred DamiAnya. 6 out of 9 Brazilians preferred DamiAnya. 4 out of 5 Peruvians preferred DamiAnya. An American / Chinese put down TwiYor, but everybody else who had Chinese in their replies put down DamiAnya (the Taiwanese chose TwiYor but the two from Hong Kong chose DamiAnya). The 2 Indians, 2 Hispanics, 2 Malaysians, 2 Vietnamese all chose DamiAnya. 2 out of 3 of the French put down DamiAnya.
TwiYor:
3 out of 4 Argentinians preferred TwiYor. 2 out of 3 of the British put down TwiYor. Everybody who had Canada in their replies put down TwiYor (3 Canadians, one raised in Canada).
Americans and Indonesians have a pretty equal split.
The sample size is small here so I would not generalise. The amount of DamiAnya mains who put down nationality is twice that of TwiYor mains. But the Filipino stat is interesting. Also from the very very small sample size, it appears that the Asians (Filipino, Indians, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hong Kong, etc) may lean towards DamiAnya. Or maybe not. There’s not enough information.
And finally for the reasons for choosing that ship! I’ll try to sum it up below.
DamiAnya:
Cute (a lot of people put down this)
The innocence
The potential of their ship / lots of potential dynamics / we don’t know what their future is
Nostalgia
More angst potential
Like to see TwiYor as platonic / semi-platonic / QPR / familiar so it’s not a romantic ship
They’re funny / chaotic
More canonical in the sense Damian has a canon crush, while for TwiYor it’s just hints and teases
Want to see them grow up and develop
TwiYor:
They’re adults (a lot of people put down this)
They are uncomfortable with shipping children (also a lot of people put down this)
Uncomfortable with some DamiAnya works (that touch on adult / “unsafe” topics)
Rare to have a healthy, respectful, wholesome ship between two adults
More stable / calm / tender
Slowburn
The same age as the characters / more relatable
Favourite character is Twilight / Yor
The characters are attractive / hot / sexy
The characters are mature
The characters are complex
Untouched potential
LOTS of respondents who chose TwiYor said they’re uncomfortable with shipping kids and adult ships appeal to them more, which is perfectly valid. That might be the biggest thing holding people back from shipping DamiAnya. And some DamiAnya mains said they enjoy the TwiYor dynamic but don’t see it as a romantic ship. Same for TwiYor mains who said they like platonic DamiAnya but won’t mind if they get together like twenty years later.
People named the tropes they liked for each ship, called each ship “more interesting”, but from the answers, people have called TwiYor both “simple / vanilla” and “complex”, and DamiAnya both “basic” and “unique”. I suppose it’s down to personal preference.
My personal opinions below:
Why TwiYor might be “simple” is because they don’t have a lot of canonically romantic content, just teases / some blushes / ship fuel. (While Damian’s crush is unrequited, at least his crush is canonically confirmed.) So it’s a subtle slow burn. TwiYor is also complex because we don’t fully know both of their backstories and the facets of their characters. They each have their own motivations for starting a family, but they’re starting to enjoy the family for family’s sake. There are also many ways their dynamic could develop (domestic, fluff, angst, etc).
Why DamiAnya might be “basic” is that it’s a romance in a school setting. Young love is also extremely common in anime / manga, especially teenage love (for aged up DamiAnya). It also has a lot of tropes. But DamiAnya is “unique” because of the mindreader / Operation Strix setting, and it’s exactly the cocktail of tropes that brew so many different potential dynamics. There are many ways the two characters could grow up, and many ways their dynamic could change.
People have said TwiYor is more stable (may appeal to the older fans who prefer stability), and DamiAnya is more uncertain / turbulent (may appeal to the younger fans who want excitement).
That’s it! Thank you so much if you’ve read this 2k words long post. You’re welcome to make your own analysis / quote the stats, but be respectful to everyone and again, no ship bashing. This is also a small sample with only 250 responses, so take it with a grain of salt.
Sorry for the occasional awkward wording (not a professional with stats) or mistakes (if any). English is not my native language.
To conclude, as a DamiAnya main, I think this quote from my irl is funny: “Twiyor is for simping purposes only damianya has better dynamics” XD

Agent H’s TV Reactions
Spy x Family Season 1 
A spy is tasked with creating a fake family to infiltrate the enemy country, only to unwittingly marry an assassin and adopt a child telepath
-MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FAKE FAMILY
-I love that this a story about survivors of war. About how they fight for peace. About how they heal through love and relationships with each other. I love that it’s an action story, a drama, a comedy, a slice of life
-You can tell that this is an anime that really loves the story and source material. It is truly done with such love and care and attention to detail 
-I really wish that the opening/closing scenes were canon/shown because I want to see them going on vacations and dance around their home TT. I also want that scene of Loid at the train looking up at Yor on the balcony. I also love the scene in the second opening scene of Yor hugging Anya by the window
-The teacups theme song is my new comfort song
-I have such a crush on Loid. The tousled “at home” hair will be the death of me. 
-HE’S SUCH A DAD. Have him make a corny dad jokes and HE’S THERE
-I love that Loid’s complaint of Anya is that she’s unpredictable. Like, yes, the best spy in the world, the man who can predict and prepare for any situation in the world, is having his ass handed to him by a four year old
-Meanwhile it take Anya about 48 hours to learn that no matter how cool your parents are, all parents are lame
-I know it was for the interview, but I think Loid genuinely meant it when he said he found a kindred spirit in Yor. The moment at the party I think is when Yor starts to fall for him, but also when Loid recognizes that they are alot alike, that she “may be the only person who can accept him for who he is right now.”
-Also, Loid absolutely fell in love with Yor when she first knocked out that bad guy
-Yor being the emotional support and rock of the family. The way she supports and cares for Anya and plays with her and gives her advice (however helpful it is XD). And the way that she supports Loid, breaking him out of his anxiety. Like in the restaurant in the third episode, he’s totally spiraling about the interview, and she doesn’t know what’s going on in his head, but she knows to take them to the park for fresh air and perspective and it’s just what he needed
-The scene of Loid and Yor comforting each other as parents is one of the most foundational scenes of the story
-I saw some people a while back being like “Twilight is going to get too soft and eventually do something emotionally and jeopardize Operation Strix” You mean, the interview???
-Anya punching Damian is one of the greatest scenes of all time
-The dodgeball episode is one of the greatest episodes ever made XD
-The penguin park episode may be my favorite. Whole family working together without knowing what the others are doing. Yor kicking a guy into the ceiling. Loid winning the penguin for his girl. Loid wanting a vacation then STOPPING and deciding to just work harder because he loves his girls so much
-BOND IS THE BEST BOY
-My heart broke with Sylvia’s simple “I had a daughter once like her.” 
-The Loid reflection while they’re at the dog park broke me
-Loid being proud of his daughter jumping two boxes and jumping rope five times
-In any other show Nightfall would be the most iconic, fan-favorite character ever made, and (we love her too!) the only reason she’s not here is because she’s competing with the fucking Forgers
-Yes, Loid, you should switch to decaf
-I love the episode of Yuri tutoring Anya because for how intense Yuri is about work and his sister, he really is just a 20 year old kid. And I just love seeing this big kid get so exasperated with this little kid, and I hope they get more bonding in the future lol
-Shinybluebirdwizard pointed it out that Becky Blackbell is pretty much the only character remotely living as her authentic self and that is fucking hilarious
-Damian always being ready to fight when it comes to Anya
-I would be very curious to learn about Japan’s role and viewpoint in the Cold War because it’s interesting how this is Cold War Germany inspired 
-I had a separate post about the tennis arc. Let's see if I ever write it up...
-Loid going out of his way to reassure and support Yor just because he wants her to be happy. I am ride or die for this couple
-Loid ep 6: Yor is sad, I should reassure her!
Loid ep 15: Yor is sad, I should take her out on a date!
Loid ep 24: Yor is sad, I should take her on a date and ask her to marry me! Like, bud, the reaction does not equal the situation. With all of Loid overthinking I’m genuinely trying to understand how he thought honey-trapping Yor would be beneficial for the musssion. Like I know why he does it but Loid, what was your reasoning there
-The last episode was so good!! The hat tip mirroring the first episode. The importance of love and care and communication and trying to be there for each other. The final words summarizes the whole story, and the teacups song playing through Loid's words. Anya’s at bliss even when he has no idea what’s going on in her head: They don't understand each other but they love each other and want to do their best for each other. That's it. That's the whole story.
-Extremely important question: Is Loid licensed to be working as a psychiatrist. Because on one hand, obviously it’s just a cover story. On the other hand, Loid has never half assed anything in his life and cramming years of worth of medical school and passing a licensing exam just to make his story airtight is exactly the kind of thing he would do. Endo, respectfully are you listening. Endo, please, I need to know this
