If I like Spy x Family what should I watch?
If you like Spy x Family, you should watch several anime series that share its perfect blend of action, comedy, and heartwarming family dynamics.
Action-Comedy Recommendations
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War
This psychological rom-com features the same studio (WIT Studio/CloverWorks) and shares Spy x Family's clever writing and comedic timing. The strategic mind games between Kaguya and Miyuki mirror the tactical elements you loved in Loid's spy work.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Saiki's psychic abilities create situational comedy similar to how Anya's telepathy drives humor in Spy x Family. Both series excel at slice-of-life moments punctuated by supernatural chaos.
Family-Focused Series
Barakamon
This heartwarming series follows a calligrapher who moves to a rural island and forms bonds with local children. Like the Forger family, it explores how unconventional relationships can become deeply meaningful.
Usagi Drop
Though more grounded in reality, this series captures the same "found family" theme as Spy x Family. It follows a bachelor who adopts his grandfather's illegitimate daughter, creating touching father-daughter moments reminiscent of Loid and Anya's relationship.
Action-Adventure Options
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
While darker in tone, this series combines espionage elements, government conspiracies, and strong sibling bonds. The Elric brothers' relationship parallels the protective family dynamics in Spy x Family.
Mob Psycho 100
From the same creator as One Punch Man, this series balances supernatural action with genuine character growth and family themes. Mob's relationship with his mentor Reigen echoes the mentor-student dynamics found in the Forger household.
Each of these recommendations captures different aspects that make Spy x Family special—whether it's the comedy, family bonds, or action sequences. Which element of Spy x Family appealed to you most, as this might help narrow down your next perfect anime match?
