| It's more of a premise than simply an arc, it's like asking how long "finding one piece" arc is suppose to last? Well only the author know about it. |

It isn't a single arc,it's the base of the show...which will be divided in separate arcs. Idk how ppl can misunderstand this simple thing. |
| i think we have a lot more time to decide if its good or bad yet, its a cute feelgood show atm but i feel like the tone of the show is open to more adult themes as well, |

Anya earning stars to get close to the evil boss who's son attends school? Roughly 26-29 chapters to go (idk how it'll work out with the anime yet) because afterwards will be an arc centering around Yor but I assure it's going back to Anya's arc later on |

Idk how ppl can misunderstand this simple thing. I would have to agree with the original poster, yes the show is good in itself and entertaining enough that I'm gonna finish it, but it definitely was hyped up differently. Maybe it is just based on the content I consume, which of course makes this super subjective, I know. The hype I experienced made it seem as if the spy and assassin aspect were gonna be the main aspect of the show, paired with the family fluff. However, for a show that still relies heavily on the narrative of Loid being a spy with a secret mission and Yor a badass assassin (I mean it is referenced in the OP and mentionned a lot), it certainly does not show much of it. I am too a bit disappointed by that, I get that the family bonding is the main theme, but right now I don't see anything conflicting this. They live together, play pretend family and actually realize that they grow yo like each other's company. That's it. Which is fine, but means that the thrill of them all being secretive is long gone and flies completely under the radar. As for why people are confused on how long this school infiltration arc is gonna last (missing that it is the entire show), for me too this was a surprise. Isn't there a whole ass mission attached to this? For world peace? I honestly forgot what role Damian's dad plays in all of this and why it is so important for Anya to befriend him. If the entire plot is just this, I seriously doubt the next seasons will be as popular as this one and viewers will drop like flies, sorry. Overall the show isn't bad, but could showcase more of the spy/assassin stuff as it was advertised/hyped up as one of the appeals and why it is a fun new show. Honestly if I want a good show that centers around family bonding and childcare, I'll watch Usagi Drop instead. If you made to here, thanks for your time reader and sorry about the essay. perfectly said honestly, i like the show and i thought the beginning was amazing but ever since anya got into the school it’s been a step down in quality. there’s no spy and assassin aspect at all, just family and school which is fine but it’s missing a big aspect of what the show was both marketed and established to be in the beginning. |
| It is pretty normal to have expectations while getting into a show, but not the kind you had. If you have general expectations around the quality of the show or good humour, that's pretty fair. But if you make up the scenarios in your head before going in, and end up getting disappointed, that's pretty much on you. |

Well only the author know about it. @kushmonatl ^Read this dude what this guy said. It's the premise of the show not an opening arc or smth. drop it if you're not liking it coz it's not going to change anytime soon. |

| @kushmonatl But I was kinda expecting episodic missions .. Loid getting new tasks and tackling them every couple of episodes .... I wasn't expecting this "infiltrate the school" arc to last so long ... There will be episodic missions for both Yor and Loid in part 2. As for the school-mission taking so long, that is pretty much what the show is about, and it makes perfect sense. Loid made the fake family because of this mission. If it ends quickly, the family will disband and Yor/Anya will be discarded. The show will likely take a sweet time developing relationships in the family. Just as the title of the story implies, the family is important. Loid will need a lot of time (and Yor too) to realize just how valuable their fake family is for them. |

Part 2 have more action.the beginning is to establish the characters, is it so hard to understand? i'm not impatient and i made it clear that i still like the show. all i'm saying is the person who made the forum has a point. the show has felt less fun since anya has entered the school and that doesn't mean it's been bad, it's still really good, just not as good as it was in the first half imo. is spy x family a good show? yes. did i say it wasn't? no. am i allowed to make minor criticisms towards a show even if i like it? absolutely. are you very defensive over this show for some reason and care too much about other people's opinions? yep. you've made multiple forums about this topic on top of replying to a bunch of people saying they must be impatient or don't understand the show if they said even the slightest bit of criticism towards the show. why don't you just enjoy the show and stop caring so much about what other people think because it really shouldn't matter. not to mention, nobody is even hating on the show. everyone in this forum i've seen has the show rated a 7 or above if they've already rated it, so everybody still likes it, people are just voicing their minor criticisms and that's perfectly fine and you shouldn't really care. also, i have the manga in my ptr so i will be reading it eventually, i just don't have the time right now to do so. |

| thx for the responses my apologies for not getting the premise , like I said I came in blind .. He's a spy for the West , looking to prevent a war .. I guess I was expecting more villains , more arcs , him climbing up the ladder of the "East" as he poses as a family man when he's actually an undercover spy I mean , like I said I enjoy the show .. but as others commented , I was expecting a little more action , especially as far as Loid's spy missions or Yor's assassin missions Ima stick it out ... and thx for the other recommendations (Kongming, Usagi Drop, Tomodachi Game, etc) |
