#spy x family anime

cutie ✨

So, while randomly going through the Crunchyroll Dubs youtube channel, I stumbled across this debate over whether you should watch “Spy x Family” in dub or sub. The dub is great, but there was the usual band of assholes saying “sUb oNLy!!111!”. However, one user actually wrote that people should only watch the sub because the “right” way to watch anime is to watch in the “culturally accurate” way. 

That argument is hilarious to me because, if you REALLY want to watch a culturally accurate “Spy x Family”, you’d watch it in the German dub. The show is based on Cold War-era East and West Germany and the capital city is literally called Berlint. Also, even without the German background, the English dub would be more culturally accurate since all the characters and setting are obviously European-based.

So in the pointless war of subs versus dubs, this is one instance where the dub side wins. 

So a few days ago, I wrote a post about how I thought the German dub of “Spy x Family” was superior to the original Japanese version. But, not gonna lie, I think even the English dub is better than the Japanese. 

Here’s the scene where Yor Forger is out on a mission as Thorn Princess. Natalie van Sistine nailed the sharp, menacing tone that I felt was missing from Saori Hayami’s take on the character:

I finally got around to watching the German dub of “Spy x Family”. All I have to say is that it makes a HUGE difference. It actually feels more appropriate for the setting since the series is based on Cold War-era Germany. Like, this is the version of “Spy x Family” that plays in my head when I’m reading the manga. It also helps that the German cast manages to match the energy of the Japanese cast.

So, yeah, I might just stick to the German dub from now on.

Also, this might be a hot take, but German Yor (Daniela Molina) sounds…better? Not to take away from Saori Hayami’s performance, but her Yor sounds a little too timid. Daniela Molina’s Yor sounds like she could be a loving mom/wife AND a stone cold killer.

Papa and Mama took her school shopping!

One of my favorite things about Loid is that he reads the all of the Spy Wars manga for literally for no other reason than to be informed on what his daughter enjoys

Damian realizing that he likes Anya but then he denies it is just

️- Loid Forger - ️

The episode of today has given us Damian blushing se much can health any wound today.

Loid don’t like when WISE use food to send him messages about the mission but he use them to make Anya apologize to Damian

I can’t anymore

The difference between Yor and Loid mind

Yor

Loid

Loid be like:“I count with you Anya,”

And three second laters, process to follow her.

After this episode Loid’s stomach pain will increase.

I have proofs and zero doubts

Anya be like:

“The universe is trying to tell me something I wonder what?”

Loid Forger/Twlight invented subliminal messages.

Is just me or Yor looks incredible gorgeous in every frame she appears?

Just woke up she looks perfect.

I still can’t with these two drunk Yor faces
