This was supposed to be filler episode! Why was it animated so good! I've seen "high quality" action series with much worse animation and camera work.

Funny how MAPPA animated a casual dodgeball game better, than what other studios did in some shounen fights LMAO (I won't point on anything, that's MAPPA for you)

Cool episode
mappa? This is animated by WIT and Cloverworks.

Best dodgeball game ever! Anya really trying her best to get one of those Stella stars. Giving her all to become MVP and help Loid mission. But of course it was just a classroom rumor that a star would be given out. Still absolutely hilarious during the whole match! I had a smile the entire time, Anya mind reading that giant Bill kid to dodge his throws. Speaking of, that so caller kid Bill looking like some roided up monster, Wtf are they feeding that kid, his dad was huge too hut holy hell how is that a six year old. Made everything about the dodgeball game even funnier. Damian trying his best also to get the Stella star. We did get some nice depth for him this episode with how he's trying to standout like his older brother so his father will actually notice him. Which is really sad when you think about it, that's why he's so pushy and kinda mean, Damian just wants to be seen by his father. He did have an awesome moment during the game, saving Anya from that ball was so cool. Something he didn't have to do but did anyways, massive respect to Damian for protecting Anya. They all tried like hell but still couldn't stop Bazooka Bill, maybe next time.

You are superficial about what filler is. in general everything has in the manga and additional scenes to improve the narrative. this is called "Enhancing the original".

I completely disagree. they improved the original and made it much more epic than the manga. You don't know what it is so get out. filler is different from something added connected to the story improving the narrative, that is, you don't know what a true filler is. this is called improving what is in the manga.

I know what a filler is. Anyway I didn't enjoy whatever they did too different from the manga if you prefer... it's just a personal preference. The anime has been really good until now so I hope they keep the quality high because the manga is just great imo

Damian protecting Anya is so kawaii.
Okay, a big body 6 years old boy... And then he start speak, oh no, that's not how a kid voice supposed to have. Lol.
Well, glad they actually lose, since if they win, that would be a cliche.

Great episode! It seems there is an opportunity to earn a stella at the dodgeball game in sports. Anya asks Yor for training...
she is very dedicated to win after all that training!
Damian vs Bill Watkins...
He seems a little too old and strong for dodgeball with kids xD.
He even measures airflow and humidity before his shots?!
And gets multiple people out with one shot...
His father depends on him to also earn that stella...
It seems Damian and his friends were also training-but on the climbing frame and tyre swing lol.
Damian's friends protect him from the ball! Emile uses the forbidden face block!
Bill can't hit Anya at all...
Damian protected Anya from getting hit and lost his chance of getting MVP!
ANYA'S KILLER SHOT FAILS!

There was no stella to be awarded in this match anyways...

Looking forward to the next episode!

they spliced ​​a future chapter with the one at the beginning and extended Anya's training with Yor and showed her superhuman strength in more detail and that was great. Damian was also a little more developed in this episode, great

they're improving on the original, they're very dedicated to it, and it's rare. Congratulations to Staff.

It was a wonderfully entertaining episode as usual, but it was pretty predictable that Anya was gonna fail dramatically at the throw. Still funny, but I did kinda groan when it happened.

Another episode that totally eschews not just the spy stuff, but for all means and purposes, all of the main characters, choosing instead to just be a sports episode. Note, not a sports parody. I'm 100% certain that it would call itself that, but Galaxy Angel's volleyball episode where every character ineffectually murdered themselves through trying and failing to get off a single serve and then came back to life without explanation while the rivals used only the same looped stock footage and repeated voice line? That was a parody. Hell, even Keijo!!!! has more right to call itself a parody because of how straight it played its ridiculous premise.

This was just Literally Every Single Sports Anime, except with the second and third tier members of the cast taking center stage. The main characters got an early montage and then they did the bad Jump trope of "I know what he's going to do, therefore I have the reaction time of a god," though to be fair, Batman: TAS also pulled that with an accountant becoming a master martial artist by using a stopwatch to measure Wayne's kicking speed. Even that was only about fifteen seconds of the episode though, and again, isn't a parody or even a joke. It's just what sports anime always do. The 'jokes' being the excessive reactions. Maybe you could say that the kids pretending playground equipment was a Dragonball scene was something, but that ain't much to hang a whole damn episode on.

WOW, the animation quality is something. GREAT EPISODE.

Meanwhile, according to the producers, this episode was produced by WIT STUDIO. The remaining episodes(ep 11, 12) appear to be produced by CloverWorks.
Normally, WIT is odd and Clover is even, but the production order has been changed only this time for dodge ball action quality.
Apparently this episode was done by both wit and cloverworks

What an elegant episode, truly one of the best episodes from SpyxFamily. Damian and Anya fighting for their lives xD He even went as far as to scream ''die'' in a dodgeball game. Anya's packing a lot of punches. Forgot to mention that Bill is the GOAT.

That trope where someone blocks for you and the show plays it up as if it has meaning but haha it doesn’t … is way over-done.

Really brought down the episode for me tbh. I also just didn’t get much out of the episode overall. It’s not enough :/. Hoping the next episode is more interesting like the previous episodes.
