• COVID left fans wanting the personal touch from their local comic stores
• Think Spy x Family is just a cute slice-of-life anime? You aren't ready for what is coming in season 3 and beyond

Get your family together because world peace is at stake. The first Spy x Family movie is finally making its way to Crunchyroll, so there is no longer any excuse not to watch it. Spy x Family Code: White is a delightfully chaotic, beautifully animated adventure that makes the best possible use of the characters and the setting – and now you can watch it from the comfort of your own home.

As we mentioned back when we saw the film in theaters, Spy x Family Code: White is a perfectly balanced movie that manages to give each of its three protagonists the chance to shine with a uniquely animated sequence that suits their unique character. Loid engages in a high-stakes hand-to-hand battle against the enemy commander. Yor fights against a cyborg killing machine using her knives and a tube of lipstick. As for Anya, she goes on a spiritual journey to the land of poop.

It is a weird movie, sure, but it is also wonderfully wholesome. Everything is focused on showing the Forgers becoming closer and seeing how far they will go to help each other. While Spy x Family Code: White falls firmly in the realm of non-canon, as many anime films do, it is a solid way to break up the long wait for season three, which still doesn’t have a release date.

Spy x Family Code: White gets its streaming debut on September 5, 2024 on Crunchyroll, which also has the first two seasons of the anime for you to watch alongside the movie.

Every ending is a new beginning as Spy x Family, Sakamoto Days, and The Summer Hikaru Died show the future of anime & manga.
