Few anime series can boast of having such a resounding success as SPYxFAMILY. Having far surpassed the anime fan niche, it reached the general public long ago and continues to expand its influence among them. And it’s not surprising at all. It’s funny, fast-paced, and very heartwarming, addressing deep and human themes always with laughter and tenderness. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that its creators are looking to capitalize on the license as much as they can.
That’s why today we’ve received the first trailer for the new SPYxFAMILY movie. Titled SPYxFAMILY Code: White, this trailer shows us the first glimpses of the movie, where they have to make the headmaster’s favorite dish for Anya to win a cooking competition at Eden Academy. But nothing is ever that simple in this series, right? That’s because Loid is going to be replaced in the operation, something he aims to avoid through Anya’s victory. To achieve this, they’ll have to travel to the recipe’s region of origin, setting off a series of actions that will jeopardize world peace.
The trailer also allows us to hear the movie’s main theme for the first time. Titled “Soulsoup,” it is composed by the group Official HiGE DANDISM, who are no strangers to the series. They previously performed the song “Mixed Nuts,” the first opening theme of the anime’s first season.
For those unfamiliar with SpyxFamily, it’s a manga written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endou. It follows a spy codenamed Twilight, who is tasked with a crucial infiltration mission to maintain peace between two countries with a long history of conflict. To accomplish this, he forms a fake family to infiltrate a school. He adopts a girl named Anya, who is unaware of her psychic powers, and pretends to be married to a woman named Yor, who is a professional assassin.
The series has been adapted into an anime, currently in its second season, available for streaming on Crunchyroll. As for the movie, you’ll have to wait until December 22nd for its release in Japan. There’s no confirmed release date for Western audiences yet; it’s expected to be sometime in 2023.
