Edit as of 31 Oct. 2021:
The hype started four months ago, the journey till the anime airs is still left. See all of you in the episode discussions!
This is unconfirmed and not an official announcement.
We do not add based on leaks and 3rd-party twitter "confirmations"
I'm not telling AniList to add it, I'm just informing people that they can expect an adaption. While yes, this is not from an official source, it's like saying "What if the leaks are wrong?" even though the leaker has been right again and again, several times in the past. I don't look at what-ifs, I look at probability. And the probabilty of an anime adaption is very high. Although I agree that the title is misleading.
A domain name of Spy X Family was also registered---- http://spy-family.net/
And also a Twitter account---- https://twitter.com/spyfamily_anime
So yeah.
I just want Netflix to stay away!!

I was thinking about reading the manga soon for this series but I guess I'll wait for the anime, this is very exciting news!
Of course if it's a shitty adaptation like Record of Ragnarok for example then I'll move onto the manga instead
The thread "Spy x Family Anime adaptation by WIT studio and CloverWorks" and it's comments have been merged into this thread.
You can view the merged thread's body below:
Anime adaptation for Spy x family has been announced. It's a collaboration between WIT studio and CloverWorks coming in 2022. What do you guys think about this?
WIT is in serious debt rn. So it makes sense that they go to adapting such a popular title especially since production IG is directly in charge of their decisions now. So now they have 7 projects in production and bought in cloverworks for a collab. 2022 is going to go down as the GOATED year for anime.
I will be completely honest.
I'm looking forward to this more than Chainsaw Man and I love CSM
Kinda same actually. I love this manga. And I have my problems with csm. So hope mappa really pulls it off with the adaptation.
I honestly have zero doubts with MAPPA handling CSM, because the director said he wouldnt put up with MAPPA's work conditions so I think we can expect some Jujutsu Kaisen quality. It's just that shounen are a dime a dozen and I personally think Spy X Family is unique. (not to say csm isnt but yknow)
Cloverworks gonna fuck it up somehow, if thats the case im just gonna read the manga instead
Yeah, I'm also keeping my hopes a little low.
If it makes you feel any better, it's a joint production with Wit. Wit has a lot of competent people. The staff are also really talented. I'm not sure where does CW chime in and how much influence they have over the series. But my guess is that they can't completely fuck it up.
the official announcement for Spy x Family anime is here!
