USJ (Universal Studios Japan) will host the very first Spy x Family VR roller coaster since the anime and manga series’ inception. Other attractions will include a Story Ride and a quiz rally around the theme park. [Thanks, Oricon!]

The VR coaster will focus on you and the Forger family experiencing the world as a spy. VR coasters at the theme park usually involve you inside a roller coaster-like machine, which moves around and shakes as you watch a screen and follow along with the story. As for the Story Ride, it’ll focus on you going on an adventure with the students of Eden Academy. In the key visual, we can see Becky, Damiain, and Damian’s two buddies-slash-minions.

The Spy x Family attractions be available at USJ from July 1, 2025 to January 4, 2026. However, if you visit USJ in July and August, you can buy a “Spy x Family Special One-Day .” This gives you a badge, as well as an original smartphone wallpaper. There are three variations of badges, and you will receive a random one. The options are Loid, Yor, or Anya with Bond. Sales for these es will start from April 25, 2025.

Spy x Family follows the story of Loid Forger, a spy who needs to build a family to complete a mission. To that end, he finds a fake wife who’s secretly an assassin, and a fake daughter who’s secretly a telepath. The manga is one of the best-selling series of all time, with over 38 million copies in circulation as of December 2024. The anime adaptation is also very popular.

Spy x Family is readily available on streaming services like Crunchyroll, and Viz Media has licensed the manga for English release. The third season will start airing in October 2025.

Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for the Spy x Family Anya Nendoroid surprise figures. Pre-orders will remain open until April 9, 2025, with the figure set expected to ship in October 2025. It will cost 10,800 or around $71, and will include a total of six different Anya Nendoroid figures.

You can take a look at the Good Smile Company Spy x Family Anya Nendoroid Surprise figures below:

As mentioned previously, a total of six different figures will come in this collection. Each feature a different version of Anya, and comes with several accessories. It also comes with back attachments so consumers can pose the collection of Nendoroids however they would like.

And if consumers don't want to spend the 10,800 yen to purchase the entire collection, they can opt to purchase one figure for 1,800 yen, or $11. However, purchasing a figure through this method means you'll be taking a gamble as to what Anya figure you'll end up getting.

Consumers can pre-order the Spy x Family Anya Nendoroid Surprise figures until April 9, 2025. The figure collection will ship sometime in October 2025. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga. Spy x Family Code: White is also available to stream on Crunchyroll.

Another ryokutya2089 leak suggested when another Shonen Jump anime series will return. Season 3 of the Spy x Family anime will apparently start airing in October 2025. For reference, season 2 started airing in October 2023 and ended in December 2023. That's on Crunchyroll now. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

The second season ended partway through the WISE Arc, which means the third season will continue from that. Most likely, it will also cover the Friendship Schemes Arc and the Red Circus Arc. In of the manga, the show ended some time in Mission 60. So if you’re curious about what event you’ll see when the anime starts up again, you can check it out from there.

Spy x Family is a popular anime and manga series about a spy who puts together a fake family to complete a mission. Unbeknownst to him, his wife is an assassin, who’s unaware of who her fake husband is. Their daughter is a telepath who’s aware of her fake parents’ true identities, but keeps silent because she thinks it’s cool. There is an overarching plot in the story, mostly focusing on protagonist Loid’s spy missions, but there are also plenty of slice of life moments that focus on the Forger family as well.

Ahead of the September 19, 2024 release of Kamaitachi no Yoru x3, Spike Chunsoft released a new free visual novel parody game in collaboration with Spy x Family titled Kamaitachi no Yor. The release of the game is also a part of a special collaboration to celebrate the release of volume 14 of the manga series in Japan.

The main cast of characters in the new Spy x Family parody Kamaitachi no Yoru game include Loid, Yor, Anya, and Bond. Additionally, the ing cast of characters featured in the game include Rodger Hostman, Spoussa Hostman, Porter Partheimer, Max Slacker, Adrahma Queen, Shorton Kreditz, Needa Jobsoon, Hack Scriver, and Guy Luvstaski.

The characters are all depicted as silhouettes in the classic style of the Kamaitachi no Yoru visual novel series. To access the game, players need to use a smartphone device to scan the QR code available in the official game website. Once there you can read the character profiles and access the parody visual novel by touching the TV. However, the game is only available in Japanese with no English options.

The Kamaitachi no Yor parody visual novel is inspired by the events of the Spy x Family manga that started in chapter 94, released earlier in January 22, 2024. Both the original Kamaitachi no Yoru game and the new manga arc feature similar elements regarding a murder taking place at a ski lodge.

Kamaitachi no Yoru x3 will come out in Japan on September 19, 2024 for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam. Viz Media handles the release of the Spy x Family manga outside of Japan, and a Season 3 of the anime is currently in production.

While there are exciting, thrilling moments in the lives of spy Loid Forger, assassin Yor Forger, and telepath Anya Forger, a lot of the series is a day-by-day, slice of life experience. Spy x Anya: Operation Memories, the first major Spy x Family game, really gets that by putting the focus on Anya attempting to complete a school assignment. While the nature of getting every photo does mean a bit of repetition and there is an awkward launch into it, it ended up being a fun little sim about family and photographing Anya at key moments like she’s an ever-present Pikachu in Pokemon Snap.

I was actually a bit thrown when Spy x Anya: Operation Memories began, since there was no introductory story setting the stage for the Spy x Family game. Rather, Anya Forger was in her class at Eden Academy and a tutorial went over controls right away. It didn’t even explain the whole purpose of the game until I went through learning how to move Anya, the camera, talk to people, and head home. It’s only once she was back home with her parents Loid and Yor that the whole purpose of the game was revealed in a flashback. One of her latest assignments is to create a diary. Because she wants to make it awesome and impress “Second Son” Damian Desmond to help her actually-a-spy father with his mission involving Donovan Desmond, her family agrees to help her with outings to create memories.

It’s an awkward choice, to be certain. I’m very familiar with Spy x Family, thanks to reading the manga and watching the anime, so I had no problem immediately catching up with what’s going on in the game. However, people who don’t have that familiarity are going to be completely left in the dark. Something as simple as a brief introduction with Anya explaining who she is, her telepathic powers, why her “father” Loid created the fake family, and that her “mother” Yor is actually an assassin, would be a big help and would help make the transition into the experience easier and smoother. 

Once you get past the many tutorials, it becomes fairly clear that Spy x Anya: Operation Memories is a Pokemon Snap sort of game that mixes minigames and opportunities to socialize with the cast of Spy x Family with dress-ups and photo ops. Anya will take part in a family meeting, during which the destination of the next outing will be selected. While waiting for that day to come up, she’ll go to school and spend time at home. At both locations, there are opportunities to talk with of the series’ casts to form relationships with them and chances to make memories. There will also be chances to interact with items Anya finds especially interesting for a photo for her diary.

Said photos are their own minigame. You need to get the shot in focus, ensure the angle is correct to be able to catch all people or points of interest, then nail the timing to get the perfect shot. A visual indicator of three light-up frames let you know when that moment arrives. That’s also paired with multiple opportunities to repeat the moment, so you can be assured you’ll get a perfect three-star picture photo for the diary showing the focus, angle, and timing is just right. You get to do one of these at school each day, and another one at home every evening.

In the case of the outings in Spy x Anya: Operation Memories, those are a bit more involved. You get a chance to buy items from the in-game store with points earned from photos and minigames. These can be used at certain points in outing locations for special memories and photo ops. It also makes the prospect of purchasing or earning extra raffle outfits and accessories more appealing, since everyone’s appearance changes when you do. There are missions with rewards like raffle tickets for completing certain tasks. Plus taking photos with all three special items assigned to an area unlocks an additional shot. 

Unlocking actually comes up quite a bit, but it’s handled in such a way in Spy x Anya: Operation Memories that it doesn’t feel too burdensome. New outing prospects open up as you get through the tutorial and view existing ones. More clothing, accessories, and items do as well. Though honestly, in the case of the cosmetics, they’re more of a nice bonus than a requirement. Given how cute Anya is and how faithful Loid and Yor’s appearances are, it’s totally fine and doesn’t feel terribly limiting if you don’t completely splurge. 

The additional outings and such also unlock new minigames, which Anya can play in the evening to earn Play Points to put toward items in the store if she uses earned Eurekas. The qualities of these vary, to be honest. I wasn’t a fan of the Cooking with Yor experience, as the timing seemed awkward for cutting vegetables. I did enjoy the rudimentary beat’em up involving Thorn Princess taking down waves of enemies as she headed toward a boss. Dodgeball Day at Eden College and the Loid’s Escape stealth minigame also weren’t too bad. I appreciated there was an attempt to offer more variety and experiences tailored to the series than in most minigame collections. 

I suppose where Spy x Anya: Operation Memories succeeds is that the game really does feel like a true Spy x Family experience. It’s cozy in its way, mimicking what daily life is probably like for the Forger family. Anya is allowed to ham it up as a character, and her personality helps carry it. It also looks spot-on, with some fantastic recreations, and the voice acting helps sell it as well. The only downside is the repetitive nature, since you will need to repeat outings and go through a lot of the same minigames and motions to unlock everything for Anya’s awesome diary.

Still, I enjoyed Spy x Anya: Operation Memories more than I expected, even though this Spy x Family game occasionally feels a bit awkward and repetitive. I would have appreciated an easier introduction to the experience and less hand-holding, but it’s thoroughly pleasant and true to the series its based on. As long as you’re not trying to speedrun it or marathon it in a single weekend, I think it’d be a lovely game to play at a relaxed pace.

Spy x Anya: Operation Memoriesis available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. The Spy x Family anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan. 

The post Review: Spy x Anya Is a Spy x Family Pokemon Snap Game appeared first on Siliconera.

It can be a really big deal when an anime series ends up inspiring its first game. Especially when it is a Shonen Jump series and the ensuing title doesn’t end up being something like a fighter. But that’s exactly happened with SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories, the first SPY x FAMILY game. It’s more of a relaxed, slice of life affair with Anya Forger as the focus. To learn more about its development, Siliconera spoke with Producer Yuri Kishi about the title.

Jenni Lada: When did you start working on the SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories SPY x FAMILY game? 

Yuri Kishi: The project started several years ago. When we started, the anime series had not yet been broadcast even in Japan, but the manga series had begun, and we were confident that the game would become even more spread in the future. Many of us in our office are also fans of the manga, and the project began with the desire of a fan to enjoy the world of the Spy Family in the form of a video game as well.

How influential is the SPY x FAMILY manga and anime on SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories, and which arcs can we expect to see events from in the game?

Kishi: In the game, the player assumes the role of Anya and collects photo memories of her daily life to complete a photo diary assignment from Eden College. During the day, players can go to school, and by night, they can spend time with the Forger family. On days off, players can go on family outings to the ocean, the aquarium, and other places to collect photo memories to put in Anya's diary.  

The game also features more than 15 unique mini games that are specific to SPY x FAMILY. For example, you can avoid a ball when playing Dodgeball by using Anya's Telepathy during mini game. In addition, the four Forger characters can enjoy more than 80 different dress-up options, including costumes from the anime as well as game-original clothing, accessories, and hairstyles that can only be found in the game.

There are 10 types of outings the Forger family can go on in game. How many different kinds of outcomes and experiences can we expect to experience at each location and place? How valuable will it be to return to the same spot multiple times?

Kishi: Depending on the progress of the game, the number of places you can go out will be unlocked. There are 10 locations in total, including the aquarium, museum, castle, and beach. Once you have visited a destination, you can go there as many times as you like and can decide where to go. At each destination, there are many things that Anya likes, such as butterflies and swings. When you find them, take a picture of them. If you take nice pictures, you will be able to collect memories to fill the diary. The "Super Cool! items" will change each time you visit a destination, so try going again and again and taking various photos. Once you have taken all the pictures, you will be able to see the wonderful event of the Forger family.

Which SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories outing was the most fun to implement?

Kishi: There are a total of 10 outings in the game, and the places featured in the anime, such as the museum and castle, are particularly impressive. Players can actually run around in the world of the anime. In addition to the destinations, the game offers the unique experience of running around as Anya in the Forger's house, Eden College, and other familiar places and interacting with characters like Loid, Yor, Damian, Yuri, and Fiona.

Appearances from SPY X FAMILY characters Damian, Becky, Yuri, and Fiona are already confirmed, but are there any other major characters we can expect to see in SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories?

Kishi: At Eden College, you can interact with Anya and her friends' homeroom teacher, Henderson, as well as Damian's friends, Emile and Ewen. You can participate in various mini-games with them, such as playing cards, attending Henderson's class, competing in evaluations, and even playing Dodgeball with Bill, who also appeared in the anime.

When picking out minigames for SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories, what kinds of activities and experiences did you try to prioritize?

Kishi: SPY x FAMILY incorporates unique characters, an outlandish yet heartwarming story, cool action, and comical story, making it popular among a wide range of customers, across all ages. We aimed to captures the essence of Spy x Family and can be enjoyed by anyone who loves the series by game which can be interactive entertainment. After thorough discussions within and outside the company, we developed the gameplay and style for SPY x ANYA: Operation Memories. In this game, players can enjoy unique mini-games based on anime, such as using Anya's telepathy to avoid a ball in Dodgeball, or reading your opponent's thoughts when playing cards. Additionally, there are mini games where players control Loid as “Twilight” to complete missions, Yor as "Thorn Princess" to defeat bad guys, and to run on a Bond.

Now that you’ve made a sort of life sim based on SPY x FAMILY, is there any other type of game based on the series you’d like to create?

Kishi: Currently, there are no plans for another game. However, as mentioned above, the world of SPY x FAMILY is so rich, I am sure there are other ways to adapt it into another game. We incorporated a lot of the charm of the work into SPY x ANYA, so I hope you will play this game!

Spy x Anya: Operation Memories will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 outside Japan on June 28, 2024, with the PC version showing up on Steam on June 27, 2024. The Spy x Family game is immediately available on Nintendo Switch in Japan, with PS4, PS5, and PC versions following there on June 27, 2024. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga.

More of the Spy x Family anime is on the way, as season 3 of the show was just announced. The reveal appeared on the social media for the series, and there’s also a new piece of key art that features Anya front-and-center.

Here’s the piece of Spy x Family season 3 key art. That appeared in the official reveal for the anime. It features Anya sleeping on Bond. A number of lights surround her, so they look like they are napping in the middle of a star. The door to the room is being opened, and we can see the feet of someone about to come inside. 

There is no release window yet for the latest run of the show.

This announcement follows two other media projects. The Spy x Family Code: White movie launched worldwide. The Spy x Anya game also launched in Japan and is set to debut globally in June 2024. 

Season 3 of the Spy x Family anime is in the works. Seasons 1-2 are now streaming on Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan. The Spy x Anya: Operation Memories game will debut on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC outside Japan on June 27, 2024.

When it comes to the anime-inspired Tamagotchi Nano models, the goal tends to be about maintaining and improving a specific character’s condition instead of grand evolutions. In the case of the Spy x Family Tamagotchi Nano, it’s about caring for Anya Forger. It’s as entertaining as you’d expect. However, I also find it makes me want some means of regularly dres Anya and ensuring she has the cutest wardrobe ever.

Once you start the Spy x Family Tamagotchi Nano, you immediately start caring for Anya. As this is one of the more stripped-back variants, it isn’t as taxing as other models. You don’t need to constantly check stats. Just pop in every once in a while to feed Anya. Play games with her, of which there are three, or give her sweets to boost her happiness. The main thing to watch for here is that Henry Henderson will sometimes appear, usually accompanied by a sound. You then need to press the A button as soon as possible to make Anya elegantly impress him. 

The fun part of this, aside from getting to care from Anya in general, is unlocking outfits. Instead of her evolving or changing form based on how well you are doing or hitting certain milestones, her clothing will change. So if you feed her until she’s full frequently, play and give her treats to ensure she’s happy, and don’t let Henderson catch you off guard, she’ll tend to change her outfit at least once. Twice, if your care is especially good and you’re attentive. 

It really made me wish that, well, I could see more outfits and make her even cuter. The level of detail for her standard sprite and clothing options is surprisingly high, given this is only a Tamagotchi Nano. Likewise, when other characters like Loid, Yor, and Damien show up, they all look great too. So it’s really a great motivator to see how certain actions, such as playing a lot of the dodgeball minigame, result in Anya deciding to wear her gym clothes all the time.

The only downside is that the Spy x Family Tamagotchi doesn’t always make it incredibly clear (or easy) to discern what some of its Missions games want to ensure I get to build up Anya’s wardrobe. The easiest is a dodgeball-themed one, which involves using A and B to move her out of the way of balls. Though honestly, I would sometimes forget A is down and B is up. The minigame with Bond involves mashing the A button and is quite easy, but since there’s no explanation that Anya and Bond are on the run, you can fail continually unless you look it up. The S-P-Y slot machine isn’t too difficult, provided you pay attention to the reels to spell S-P-Y. However, I found the fact that you need to do so perfectly to net certain clothing options a tad frustrating.

I suppose the plus side is that my dress-up dream inspired by the Spy x Family Tamagotchi Nano is about to come true, thanks to Spy x Anya. The adventure game, which is already available in Japan, involves helping the young girl create a photo diary for a school assignment. You do things with the Forger family, play minigames, and… play dress-up. So, I suppose this is essentially helping me ease the wait for the other activity involving Anya.

The Spy x Family Tamagotchi Nano is this novelty that leverages the fact that Anya Forger is adorable. It relies on the fact that we think she’s cute to start, and want to care for her to see how much cuter she can get in her extra outfits. The fact that I’ve only seen five in addition to her base ones and not unlocked either of the “special” ones just makes it (and the promise of Spy x Anya’s costumes) more promising.

The Spy x Family Tamagotchi Nano model is available worldwide. Anyatchi Pink and Spy Green case variants are available

Ever since the release of the first season of Spy x Family, I have known that it has the winning formula. Its memorable cast, witty and fast-paced writing, and hilarious animation direction all works so well. The latest entry in the series, Spy x Family Code: White, is a roughly two-hour spin-off movie that takes all of those elements and kicks them up to the max.

The Spy x Family movie begins with a simple assignment at Anya’s school to create a dessert for a project, but it soon snowballs into a winter holiday weekend trip for the Forger family. Their trip to the snowy town of Frigis is a picturesque setting and a solid departure from the usual locales fans see in the core series.

Without going into spoilers too much, Spy x Family Code: White is essentially just an adorable side story. It has no major bearings on the actual core plot of the series. That said, it carries all of the wit, charm, and humor of the main series, and I would say it even lands better in some places. Where it stumbles a bit comes as a result of the lengthy runtime for the movie. A lot of times, spin-off anime movies like this will go for only 90 minutes or sometimes even less in some cases. However, this Spy x Family movie almost clocks in at two hours, which I feel is about an hour longer than it needs to be. Outside of its bombastic finale, the film feels like it could’ve been two episodes in the series and that’s it.

Surprisingly, the efforts made to lengthen the wacky adventure don’t hurt the move that much. The pacing is generally pretty good, even when not a lot is happening. Moments like a whole side competition at a restaurant early in the film don't overstay their welcome. This is due to the constantly funny jokes and moments involving the Forger family.

Though Spy x Family Code White looks almost identical to the series, in in animation quality, it does justify its big screen moments. There are a couple of sequences, without spoiling too much, where the animators really flexed their skills. These moments even changed up the animation style briefly in some extraordinary ways. Wit Studio and CloverWork, which also worked on the first season of the series, really go all-in on making this an elaborate experience.

But perhaps the most impressive part about the visual quality of this film comes from the action segments. The various setpieces and segments are far more active than ones I became used to seeing in the Spy x Family anime series, and the movie all the better for it. Two of the latter fights, in particular, honestly rival some of the great action anime out there right now. The general effects, rich color palettes, and fascinating character designs help to add to the experience and make it more memorable.

Even though this is a spin-off movie, it doesn’t feel too much like filler for Spy x Family. Instead, the story makes full use of the Forger family in some fun ways. Anya is at her peak in of comedic gags and ridiculous facial expressions. Meanwhile, Yor has some of her best action segments in the series to date. Naturally, Loid continues to be the calculated anchor for the family. Even Bond the dog gets some standout moments in the spotlight.

Spy x Family Code White is the type of movie that doesn’t move the overarching plot forward. However, it doesn’t really need to. The intense and surprising action goes far beyond expectations. Meanwhile, the comedic scenes and writing is at its peak for the series. Even for a side adventure, and a lengthy one at that, this is the type of movie to watch as we wait patiently for the series to continue.

Spy x Family Code: White is airing in theaters theaters worldwide, following a Japanese debut in December 2023.

It focuses on the Forger family, which is a family that spy Loid set up in order to carry out a mission. However, unknown to him, his fake wife is a secret assassin and his fake daughter can read minds, which makes her the only one in the know about her parents’ identities.
