This show always looked promising to me but i watched the first 5 eps and it's very disappointing. All the potential is ruined i guess I was overhyped about this show for no reason. Does this gets good or downfall and downfall?

If you don't like the first 5 episode then drop it because it will never get better from how much have you seen.
The 2nd core is way worse, the story doesn't get anything to show it is just Anya Anya.

I think the tags for this anime/manga give people false impressions. Doesn’t help that the first few episodes are also action packed as this doesn’t have a lot of action, except at points. But it is more slice of life comedy so if it isn’t your thing you should drop it.

shounen and action tag fooled fr. i thought it to be more of a spy series than focusing on family.

I think it's at its best at the beginning. I enjoyed the whole of Part 1 a lot, but thought the first two or so episodes were the best. Part 2 fell off a lot for me, probably only enjoyed it half as much, if even. If I were you, who didn't enjoy the first few episodes which were the best imo, I'd drop it now.

Huh. Coming into this thread I genuinely expected the person who posted this to just be baiting for hate on a show they didn't like, which is commonplace on MAL, but given that you seem like you genuinely haven't watched that many series, I think now is a good time for you to learn a simple lesson: it's okay to drop shows you don't like, regardless of how much others have enjoyed it.

Asking people "when a show gets good" is pointless if you've watched more than three episodes and still don't enjoy it by that point; 99% of series don't really deviate from the initial vibe they've set in the beginning (non-inclusive of first episode plot twists like Deca-Dence or School Live). If the vibe doesn't suit you, it just doesn't suit you. This is especially true for slice of life shows like Spy x Family; if you dont enjoy the vibe it has now, you wont enjoy it any time soon no matter how many episodes you watch, because it simply isn't for you, and that's okay.

Option 1: Give up on it now. The whole show is similar to the first few eps.

Option 2: Recognize that hype skews judgment and accept Spy x Family solely for its own merits (or lack of). Try to approach it from a neutral perspective.

I pray for the day when people stop letting hype affect their expectations. Things that are still pretty darn good, like Spy x Fam imo, get overhyped to such proportions that they then can't live up to expectations at all. This happens so often in the anime fandom and it pollutes interesting or constructive discourse with a constant back and forth about whether the show deserves popularity.

Imo the first few episodes are the strongest. If you haven't enjoyed what you've already seen, you probably are not enjoy the rest of it.

I think a lot of peoples problem with this show is that it wasn’t what they were expecting. It definitely becomes very Anya focused and the whole spy plot/anything non-Anya felt hugely underwhelming. Some people love the focus on Anya, some people dont. So if youre at 5 episodes, you’re even less invested than I was (and I still quit further along bc of the reasons stated above).

Follow 3 episode rule. Drop it if you aren't enjoying the show no need to waste your time on something which isn't up to your liking.

Lmao that's such an ass rule. Anime like FMAB, AOT, HxH, Link click, Steins Gate won't have any audience left.

I think it's good from episode 1 but it's ok if you dont like it. I'd say if it doesnt click with you immediately then maybe it's not for you.

it's just an episodic anime, some episodes are better than others but it's episodic so if you're waiting for the peak story it won't happen

This is a super subjective question. you said below you were expecting more of a spy show, and it's definitely not in the typical way. more sol/comedy set involving a spy.

even if we don't include action, it's still a mid slice of life anime.

If you're not enjoying it after 3 episodes, it's not for you. The beginning takes a while to setup.
