I just finished the new Spy x Family chapter and… I’m honestly disappointed. I love this series, but lately it feels like it’s drifting away from what made it special. The constant Eden Academy drama feels like filler, and when the plot does move, it focuses so narrowly on one character's individual arc that the warmth and balance disappear.
I miss the mix of spy tension, family chaos, and emotional beats, the actual SPY and FAMILY parts. Instead, we’ve shifted from war and espionage to random ghost/occult storylines, which just feels off-tone for the series.
For the kids, the character work feels repetitive, the new villains are flat, and the “teachers fighting kids” thing was way too melodramatic and unrealistic. They keep adding new kids while the original character's voices get lost.
I know Endo can do better, the Red Circus arc proved that as it had the same characters. I just want the series to find its balance again, because I really miss the magic that made me fall in love with it.
