Despite only airing its first 2 episodes, Spy X Family has risen to compete with some of the biggest names in the anime industry.
If you're not aware, Spy X Family is one of the most anticipated anime of the year alongside Chainsaw Man. The series follows the story of a young electrician named Loid, who quickly has to assemble a family for his next mission. Loid has taken in a child named Anya, a girl who can read the minds of others.
However, having Anya as his adopted child isn't enough; he also needs a wife. Luckily, he finds Yor, who agrees to marry him. Little does he know, Yor is a renowned assassin also carrying out her own mission.
Even before its anime release, Spy X Family had garnered a large fanbase, all thanks to its highly captivating original manga. However, what surprised many fans is how quickly the Spy X Family anime rose to fame, competing with top-ranking anime at the current time.
My Anime List is one of the most popular sites for anime rankings. According to the recently updated top 10 list of highly-rated anime, Spy X Family ranks 3rd, surpassing anime like Attack on Titan, Hunter x Hunter, and Steins Gate.
However, it's still too early to conclude where Spy X Family will go when season 1 ends. With 2 studios (CloverWork and Wit Studio) sharing production for a total of 25 episodes, split into 2 seasons (12 episodes in spring and 13 episodes in fall), the consistent quality of this anime remains a big question.
In fact, there are quite a few anime that start off very promising but ultimately don't succeed due to inconsistent quality. Therefore, if Spy X Family falls into the footsteps of these works, achieving a high position in the best anime rankings of all time is perhaps unlikely to happen.
Currently on My Anime List, after 2 aired episodes, Spy X Family has a rating of 9.8, a very high score. This anime has also become a hot topic on social media platforms, attracting millions of views per episode.
What do you think about Spy X Family shaking up the anime ranking board after just 2 aired episodes, surpassing even Attack on Titan? Feel free to share your thoughts!
