There are so many directions that aSPY x FAMILYcould pursue.
Accordingly, its seriously surprising to seeCode: Whitefunction as a covert cooking anime movie.
However, a cooking story is quite rare, yet simultaneously oddly fitting for a series likeSPY x FAMILY.
Theres such exciting action right from the films opening frames.
Her extreme facial expressions, while a repetitive well thatSPY x FAMILYdraws from, always deliver.
Shes an endlessly entertaining personality.
Its absurd, but in the best way possible.
Theres one fight sequence in particular thats immaculately staged and really pushes Wit Studio to their limit.
She basically battles a cyborg.
For a moment,Code: Whitechannels the adrenaline-pumping intensity of anAttack on TitanorVinland Sagabattle.
ItsCode Whitesmost impressive scene, even if its not sugary sweet and sentimental like the majority of the movie.
SPY x FAMILY Code: Whiteis a satisfying entrypoint and standalone primer story for series newcomers.
This background context is fairly benign and not unlike a preface that would kick off a new season.
However, it also hardly feels necessary considering the pitch-perfect introduction that beginsCode: White.
None of this ever ruins the playful, charming fun that makes this an entertaining cinematic experience.
ScreenwriterIchiro Okouchi has previously writtenSPY x FAMILYssecond season, so hes no stranger to this world.
These contrasting genre skills occasionally come forward once the Forgers reach the Frigis region.
Snidel is a high-ranking Military Intelligence officer who plans to incite a civil war.
Its certainly a major issue, albeit one thats perfunctory and leaves the audience feeling cold.
SPY x FAMILY Code: Whiteis an entertaining adventure that never wears out its welcome.
Its hardly mandatory viewing and fans wont be losing much if they miss this film.
