Is the Spy x Family Movie a Filler
Spy x Family Code: White is indeed a filler movie, but do not let that discourage you. This non-canon adventure depicts the Forger family on what should have been a simple vacation to the neighboring country of Frigis. The story is completely separate from the main anime series plot. However, it’s crafted with all the charm and excitement that made Spy x Family so popular.
In the movie, the Forgers attempt to find a special dessert recipe called Meremere to help Anya earn a Stella at school. This simple goal quickly escalates when Anya accidentally eats a chocolate-containing secret microfilm, landing the family in the middle of an international conspiracy
Even though the movie is non-canon, it was created with the help of manga creator Tatsuya Endo. Spy x Family Code: White portrays a separate movie adventure that does not impact the main story.
Should You Watch the Filler Episodes
As stated above, there is only one episode in the whole series that can be categorized as mixed canon or as having filler content. Even then, it is not skip-worthy.
First off, we are not talking about whole filler episodes. Instead, they add extra fun scenes that flesh out the characters.
The best part is they all go all out with the animation in these added scenes. Take the castle rescue scene – in the manga, it’s pretty simple with Anya just flipping a table. But in the anime? They turned it into this wild adventure with slides, explosions, and a giant ball pit. Plus, they got all the secret agents involved in this game of “rescue Princess Anya.”
So should you watch these parts? Absolutely yes. This is not boring filler dragging on. It is more like bonus content that makes everything more fun and gives a better look at these characters. The animation quality is also top-notch in these scenes.
Where To Read and Watch Spy x Family
The easiest and legal way to read Spy x Family manga is through Viz Media’s Shonen Jump. Here’s the deal – you can read chapters 1-3 and the three most recent chapters totally free.
If you want to read everything, you will need a Shonen Jump subscription. The animated version of Spy x Family is available on Hulu and Netflix. One can also watch it on Crunchyroll, but without a subscription, ads will frequently appear on the screen.
Conclusion
With only one Spy x Family filler content/mixed canon out of thirty-seven episodes, it’s incredibly faithful to the manga storyline. Furthermore, whether you are watching the main series or the movie, it’s absolutely worth your time. It’s one of those rare cases where even the non-manga content just makes everything better.
