If you're even slightly into anime, then you're probably all too aware of this show. Spy x Family has become huge since its debut, with plenty of critical acclaim and even the loveable Anya turning into a meme. Still, it's totally deserving of that reputation, as it succeeds in everything it tries.

Spy x Family takes place in an alternate cold-war-inspired world where the nations of Ostania and Westalis are on the brink of warfare. It follows the misadventures of a pretend family comprised of a top-tier spy (Loid), a telepathic young girl (Anya) and a secret assassin (Yor). While this household (The Forgers) keeps many secrets and is only formed for the convenience of Loid's mission, it becomes clear that their family might not be as fake as they first thought.

This show has comedy, espionage, drama, cuteness, romance, action and lots more. While that's a pretty heavy plate for any show, it handles each ingredient exceptionally, laying the right amount of focus on each one and succeeding in everything it tries.

Every new episode manages to up the stakes, present something new and increase your love for Loid, Yor and Anya.
