Liked Spy x Family? Watch these 10 anime about found families, secrets and wholesome chaos
Source: IMDB If Spy x Family won your heart with its perfect mix of comedy, covert missions, and a chaotic but lovable fake family, you're not alone. Fans love how it blends heartwarming moments with high-stakes action and genuine character growth. But what do you watch next after Loid, Yor, and Anya? Whether you loved the secret identities, the slow-burn romance, or the wild family dynamics, here are some of the best animes like Spy x Family that hit similar emotional notes while offering something fresh. 10 best animes like Spy x Family Buddy Daddies Source: IMDB If you want more 'assassins learning to be dads,' Buddy Daddies is your next stop. Two hitmen, Kazuki and Rei, end up taking care of a young girl named Miri after a mission goes sideways. It's full of found family vibes, slice-of-life humour, and emotional depth. While the premise may seem like a Spy x Family clone, it has its own unique tone and explores parenthood in a more grounded, dramatic way. The relationship between the dads and their daughter grows beautifully, and it's short enough to binge in a weekend. The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED Source: IMDB Like Loid, Daisuke Kambe is ultra-skilled, hyper-calm, and absurdly rich. He's a detective who solves cases using money and high-tech gadgets. While this one doesn't have the family angle, it delivers slick animation, spy-level action, and a similar cool-headed protagonist. There's also a dynamic duo at its core that slowly warms up, echoing Loid's gradual bonding with his family. If you're here for stylish operations and smart writing, this one's underrated gold. Kaguya-sama: Love is War Source: IMDB If your favourite part of Spy x Family was the slow-burn romance and hilarious psychological games, Kaguya-sama is a must-watch. Instead of spies and assassins, you get two genius high schoolers trying to make the other person confess first. It's packed with dramatic inner monologues, misunderstandings, and sincere moments that sneak up on you. And yes, like Spy x Family, it also pays off the romance without dragging things forever. Great Pretender Source: Crunchyroll Criminals, cons, and emotional pasts, this globe-trotting heist anime is full of surprises. Great Pretender follows a group of con artists as they take on dangerous missions against corrupt elites. While it doesn't have the family dynamic, it nails the stylish action, secret agendas, and layered storytelling that Spy x Family fans crave. Bonus: Each arc is like a mini-movie, and the animation style is gorgeous. Barakamon Source: IMDB No spies or secret lives here, just a wholesome story of an artist trying to rediscover his passion on a remote island. What makes it feel Spy x Family-adjacent is the unexpected bond between a grumpy adult and a chaotic child. If Anya's energy was your favourite part, Naru in Barakamon will melt your heart the same way. It's all about personal growth, soft humour, and emotional healing. Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop) Source: IMDB When a man adopts his grandfather's illegitimate child, he's suddenly thrown into single parenthood. Usagi Drop is gentle, sweet, and all about the bond between a clueless adult and a wise-beyond-her-years kid, very similar to Loid and Anya. If you want more parenting-themed stories that are soft, emotional, and grounded in everyday moments, this is a top-tier pick. Princess Principal Source: IMDB For fans of the spy side of Spy x Family, this all-female steampunk series is packed with undercover missions, secret identities, and emotional stakes. It follows a group of schoolgirls who are actually spies during a cold war–like setting. With tight pacing, plot twists, and clever disguises, it's like the gritty, mission-focused cousin of Spy x Family, minus the comedy but full of espionage. Detective Conan (Case Closed) Source: IMDB If you loved Anya's telepathic twists and Loid's mission logic, Detective Conan delivers that weekly case-solving rush. While it's much longer and more procedural, Conan's double life and the way he balances school, crime-fighting, and secrets will scratch the same itch. There's also subtle romance and long-running tension that mirrors Loid and Yor's dynamic. My Home Hero Source: IMDB This one's darker, but the theme is close: a father trying to protect his family at all costs. After killing his daughter's abusive boyfriend, an ordinary man is pulled into a deadly spiral of crime and cover-ups. It's more thriller than comedy, but the lengths a parent will go to protect their child hit the same emotional notes. Think Spy x Family, but more intense and realistic. Hinamatsuri Source: IMDB A psychic girl randomly drops into a yakuza member's life and chaos follows. Hinamatsuri is hilarious, heartwarming, and surprisingly touching. Like Spy x Family, it balances supernatural powers, family dysfunction, and odd domestic moments in a way that feels oddly relatable. If Anya meets yakuza sounds like a mood, this one's for you. Spy x Family isn't just an action comedy,it's a genre-bending anime that mixes espionage with emotional warmth. And luckily, there are plenty of other anime that do the same in their own way. Whether you want more undercover agents, found-family feels, or wholesome parenting chaos, this list has something you'll love. Try one, and you just might find your next favourite series.

Spy x Family Season 3: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 22, 2025, 20:09 IST Alright, Spy x Family fans, let's talk about Season 3! After two awesome seasons and that wild Code: White movie, everyone's buzzing about what's next for the Forger family. We've been digging into the latest news, rumors, and manga hints to piece together what we can expect. Here's the scoop on the release date, cast, and what kind of shenanigans Loid, Yor, and Anya might get into next. Spy x Family Season 3 Release Date So, the big news dropped at Jump Festa 2025: Spy x Family Season 3 is hitting screens in October 2025. No specific day yet, but that's when the Fall anime season kicks off, so it makes sense. They announced Season 3 back in June 2024 at this cool event called Spy x Family Anime Extra Mission, and fans lost it. I'm betting we'll get a trailer or exact date closer to the premiere—maybe late summer? For now, mark your calendars for October and get ready for more Forger chaos. Cast Updates for Season 3 Good news: the main voice cast seems locked in. The Japanese VAs were at that June event, hyping up the crowd, so I'm pretty sure we'll hear: Takuya Eguchi as Loid, our favorite spy dad who's always one step away from a mental breakdown. as Loid, our favorite spy dad who's always one step away from a mental breakdown. Atsumi Tanezaki as Anya, the telepathic kid who's equal parts adorable and chaotic. as Anya, the telepathic kid who's equal parts adorable and chaotic. Saori Hayami as Yor, the assassin mom who somehow makes slicing bad guys and baking cookies look equally natural. as Yor, the assassin mom who somehow makes slicing bad guys and baking cookies look equally natural. Kenichirō Matsuda as Bond, the dog who sees the future and deserves all the treats. The English dub crew—Alex Organ (Loid), Megan Shipman (Anya), Natalie Van Sistine (Yor)—should be back too, since they've been killing it. No word on new characters yet, but I'll get to some manga folks who might show up later. What to Expect in Spy x Family Season 3 Season 2 left off around Chapter 60 of Tatsuya Endo's manga, and with tons of chapters left, Season 3 has plenty to work with. We won't spoil too much if you're anime-only, but here's a peek at what might go down based on the manga's next arcs. First up, we could see Anya doubling down on her plan to befriend Damian Desmond at school. It's all part of Loid's big spy mission, Operation Strix, but Anya's… well, Anya. Expect her to mess things up in the funniest ways while reading minds and chasing 'stellas' at Eden Academy. Yor gets some sweet moments too, maybe bonding with someone unexpected. Then things might get intense with a darker arc involving a school bus and some bad guys called the Red Circus. It's got action, danger, and the Forgers stepping up to protect each other. I'm stoked to see how they animate this one—it's a wild ride in the manga. There's also buzz about a new character, Melinda Desmond, who's Damian's mom and tied to Loid's target, Donovan Desmond. She could bring some juicy drama and spy stuff to the table. Season 3 will probably have 12 or 13 episodes, mixing goofy family moments with spy thrills and a sprinkle of 'are Loid and Yor ever gonna figure each other out?' vibes.

Woman Puts Sign Up To Talk To Neighbor—Internet Not Ready for What It Says
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A curious woman couldn't stand the thought of watching cats in a building across the street without knowing their names; that's when she crafted a plan to get some answers. Anya, who is known on TikTok as @your_dead_houseplant, works in a high-rise building in Philadelphia. Every so often, when she looks out the window into the building across the street, she sees two felines in a corner apartment. While she told Newsweek via TikTok these cats only make an occasional appearance, she couldn't help but want to know more about them. In her July 9 TikTok video posted to her account @your_dead_houseplant, she showed off her master plan—make a sign and hang it in the window with the hopes of finding out more. She typed up her question, which reads "What are your cats' names?" and printed it out on computer paper. She used tape to hang it and then began the waiting game. "I was very worried that he wouldn't see it," she said. "It's a little bit far, and the sign is pretty small. I was beginning to feel very awkward without the response." She posted the flyer on Thursday. Her hope diminished when she did not see an answer. However, she began freaking out Tuesday morning when she came into the office with a pleasant surprise. The cat owner responded. Screenshots from a July 10 TikTok video of a woman creating a sign to post in the window, asking the neighbor about their cats. Screenshots from a July 10 TikTok video of a woman creating a sign to post in the window, asking the neighbor about their cats. @your_dead_houseplant/TikTok Anya shared in a follow-up video that the owner placed a sign of their own in the window. The reply included the cats' names: Moenie, the white cat, and Kitchi is the brown one. Of course, enamored by their precious sunbathing and high quality of life, Anya needed to respond. Her latest sign stated: "Tell them I said PSPSPS." "They are very cute, and one of them likes to carry his toys around in his mouth," she said. Viewer Reactions TikTok viewers immediately became invested in this saga, bringing in over 57,900 views and 4,350 likes as of Tuesday. "Wait is this at your work office? I would be doing the same thing lol," asked a viewer. A second person commented: "I'm on the edge of my seat." In her latest video about the response, someone wrote: "Even better than I could have imagined." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Psychosurgery is back. But these are not the ice-pick-through-the-eye-socket lobotomies of the past
'This is not an assembly line,' Adams added. 'We're not just going to start lining people up and doing this. This is for treatment-resistant OCD. But wouldn't it be brilliant if we could find something that treated the more moderate forms?' Unlike the era of Freeman's runaway lobotomies, a major ethical consideration is ensuring informed consent, she and others said. That means ensuring the person's anxiety and mood do not cloud their ability to understand the risks and benefits. 'When I see patients in clinic, they often tell me this is their last resort,' Lipsman said. 'We have to be very careful not to take advantage of our patients' desperation to get better.' Anya got married last October. She is embarking on her PhD. Surgery wasn't like flicking a switch: OCD, then no OCD. It's been a gradual improvement, but a 'really remarkable' one, she said. The first thing she noticed was an improvement in her mood. 'Before surgery, my mood was super-low, depressed, desperate, suicidal.' Post surgery, 'I started having better days. We could see something was shifting.' A turning point came when she accepted an invitation to a relative's wedding in Los Angeles two months after surgery. She had been virtually housebound, especially avoiding places that had music. 'That would trigger the earworms.' Weddings have music and dancing. 'That was kind of hard and not something that I would have done some months prior. But I went.' Later that spring and over the summer, that 'constant intrusive soundtrack' in her brain grew fainter. 'I still get earworms occasionally. I still have this residual thing when I'm really stressed or going through a difficult experience or reducing my medications. 'It can be annoying. But doesn't scare me as much anymore.' The surgery was on Jan. 28, 2019. 'I celebrate it as my second birthday now.'
