Review of Spy x Family Season 2
I don't know... I truly enjoyed this season, but I really, really, really don't know how to feel about it story wise. While we could get quite a good arc full of dynamism, tension and action, half of the season consisted of slice-of-life fillers with little to no character development. We do see the main three characters gradually growing feelings for each other, but this comes totally unsurprising as the first season had already made it clear that this would happen. Other than these slight hints of emotions, the family dynamics remain almost the same and nothing changes about the world settings. There's nothing new. No important revelations, nocharacters learning something personal - or secret - about each other, nothing drastic that helps deepen their relationship any further than what we already expected.
That is, the whole season can be skipped without any issues.
And this is worrying because, in the modern times, such a slow developing series can easily be forgotten and replaced by a more dynamic and faster anime.
It would be sad to see an anime with such a good premise and characters flop due to pacing issues.
