>The story of Buddy Daddies follows Kazuki Kurusu, a criminal contractor / coordinator who lives with his best friend, Rei Suwa, a professional assassin who has been raised from childhood to be a contract killer. Kazuki is outgoing and loves gambling and women, while Rei is a man of few words who spends his off time playing video games. One day, the two buddies end up caring for Miri Unasaka, a four year old girl whose father is a mafia boss, after Miri accidentally wanders into a firefight in a hotel while looking for her father.

So basically it's just Lupin III, but what if the main cast of Lupin III was just yellow car, Lupin, Jigen and Anya from Spy x Family.

So basically it looks like some Spy x Family type beat that tries to jump in on the money and strike the iron while it's hot while adding some potential BL twist to it.

The concept art is pretty nice though. I really got mixed feelings about this one but we'll see how it turns out.

Set to air in Winter 2023 while being announced at the tail end of October doesn't sound like a recipe for success. Even if it airs in February that's a bit soon, but I guess we don't know how long they've been working on it.

Every time some series gets big while using a certain trope, people come out and call any other thing utilizing the same trope a ripoff of said big series no matter how long the trope has been being used for. Lol.

I doubt it will be BL based on what Rypherjo stated, but one can still hope for tenderness! Also, it's Kouki Uchiyama so I'm in it for his voice for sure :D

I hope it won't be using the child to get the two male leads together, I've always hated such a setting, Hataraku Maou-sama got really annoying because of Alas Ramus shipping Maou and Emi, same with Greta shipping Wolfram and Yuuri in Kyo Kara Maoh, I really do enjoy Spy x Family though, Anya being aware of the situation makes it all better.

Nah, girl baiting is the commen initial trick of even actual acknowledged gay shows eg - The Case Files of Jeweler Richard or Samurai Flamenco. I remember Mo Dao Zu Shi had same exact description for male mc. So it's nothing new.

Though this one is most likely a mild gay bait rather than actual bl since it's a anime original. Probably will play off like millionaire detective. People who have watched Tokyo 24-ku may have better idea

LOL. XD

They are buddies, perhaps what will stands out is the bromance. Maybe their relationship will be like the main characters in Balance Unlimited...?

I get where you're coming from but really the timing is just perfect, also considering that SxF hit it off amazingly well and is extremely popular right know. Also, the premise feels way too similar. Name another series that uses this very same trope btw and was before SxF, I really am curious.

Not anime but there's The Americans, Spy Kids, My Spy Family, Allegiance, and more. It definitely existed prior to the existence of SxF.

That's fair then, I didn't know that. Yet still in the anime sense the show seems to have broken a new ground and got very popular, hence so many people reference SxF instead of any of the shows you mentioned. It's just another kind of media.
