I'll admit there may be some biases in my review having experienced a full house at midnight in Japan on a weekday, but this movie really encapsulates the charms of Spy x Family while keeping the audience engaged with a high-stakes story. Comparing it to the 2 seasons that have aired so far, this (while not "canon") is the most exciting Spy x Family arc I've been able to watch.
If you enjoy Spy x Family as a whole, it's a great fun watch. Even for new watchers who want a nice movie to see if they want to give the show a try, it

gives enough exposition to the characters for you to jump right in.
Animation - top notch work from the animators at CloverWorks & Wit once again. The action scenes were splendid, easy to follow, and felt nicely paired with the ongoing plot. Yor fans will eat good.
Story - Pacing was really nice, and what initially feels like separate anime episode mini-stories eventually blend nicely into an over-arching plot
Humor - Each cast member's humor was written and executed in a very on-brand way. Especially Anya...
But, yes, the movie is not perfect by all means. You can check my profile for my rating scale. There's inconsistencies, plot holes that make sense for a "filler movie", and lack of screen time for certain characters. Overall though, it was really enjoyable and a fun winter flick!
