Operation Strix | Spy x Family S1E1 Reaction

[@SarahPavanAnime]

This is absolutely adorable. And Anya.... 😻

[@colonaticsstories4707]

I hope you make a reaction video of my most favorite sports anime of all time "Major"

[@megg734]

Anya's voice actor is a woman around 30 years old. This voice makes it even cuter.

[@markjoseph5961]

I am surprised you venture to a non-sport anime. I hope you enjoy other anime genre in the future.

[@Neonloverx]

Look into other sports anime. Before trying popular animes. There's basketball, baseball, soccer, badminton, tennis, table tennis, F1 RACING. Alot

[@DarkKnight-js1ux]

Good job 😁

[@leeboonkang2]

Some minor easter eggs: 1. The MC used the name Forger. In olden EU and UK, many commoner family that didnt have a family name and wanted to start having one for identity use, they usually use the occupation that they had in the family like Baker, Smith and so on. Him using Forger is a fun easter of referring to him forging a different identity as an occupation. 2. Anya was a test subject, code name 007. Obvious referencing to James Bond. 3. Not exactly an easter egg but during the fight scene where the MC used flour, air born flour is highly flammable, especially in enclosed space. Any sparks or flames, like from firearm, can cause an explosion. Which forces the bad guys to not use their guns.

[@SarahPavanAnime]

Keep the fun facts coming!!!

[@speedy01247]

but a flour fire probably wouldn't kill them, its enough to probably burn them, but not enough to go more then skin deep. (its different in a flour mill since that place is filled with the stuff, but a couple bags is more flare then fire)

[@drakke125Channel]

flour alone won't combust, its only because its 'fine' flour, people forget about this or don't know

[@mikehawk8984]

Lol yeah English last names are pretty on the nose. My last name is Lockwood, and it just comes from us living in the woods of Yorkshire 😅😂

[@Sinvare]

"Anya has been Papa's daughter for a long time." The dialogue given to Anya is so well done. It makes sense a kid would say things that way and it is used for comedy so well.

[@angharad256]

Yay! This anime is so much fun! A little non-spoiler background, just for your appreciation: this anime is set in a fictionalized Cold War East Germany (Ostania) and West Germany (Westalia), and the manga creator is a big fan of classic spy movies and TV shows, so you'll see a ton of references, and you definitely get that vibe from the soundtrack. There are some times when the story gets serious about the effects of war and the real peril the world is in, and when Twilight references his childhood (as he does at the end of this episode), it's important to remember that he would have been a child during WWII, and experienced everything a German child would have experienced at that time. That is his motivation for becoming a spy.

[@InstantSilence]

I think an exclusive, prestigious private school requiring both parents is using the idea that only a stable household with a complete family is capable of producing a high quality child that is worthy of attending their school.

[@ashleypenn7845]

Reinforced by the idea that this is set during a Cold War era environment and the nuclear family was a HUGE deal, socially.

[@mentholnewport]

Which is why she said it's unfair. Because the idea the two parents are needed for a stable household is archaic and gross

[@jiro6748]

​@@mentholnewportlook Children can be a dick sometimes, they will bully someone just because the other child does not have both parents

[@mentholnewport]

@@jiro6748 then parents need to raise their kids better and teach them not to bully. What's your point?

[@jiro6748]

@@mentholnewport bro, you think every parent is good? 😂 Sometimes they are more a dick than their child, they are racist that's why their kids become racist, they show bad examples to their child and their child would copy what they see

[@CheesePolice]

Don't worry about being confused, you picked up on a lot more than most. I think you'll really like the show. It's more of a comedy and has 'out there' stuff like Anya being a telepath, so don't expect it to be as grounded as Run With the Wind or even Haikyuu which are more or less set in the real world.

[@hachi1404]

great advice!!

[@gubernator2122]

Also, all the character are way too concerned with their own hidden identities to pick up on major give-aways for those of other. Its just a way to keep to relations stable throughout the serie

[@varajalka]

"Feel like that is a little unfair, because what if someone only has one parent?" Yeah requirements for elite private schools are usually unfair and even more so when time period is during cold-war.

[@Sdbbarry]

Spy family? Hello I wasn’t expecting that!

[@JackHarlowComboMeal]

Okay, it's been a long time since I've been this genuinely surprised. I actually gasped seeing this on my feed. What an unexpected surprise! This show has been absolutely fantastic, and is honestly such a good pick for you to go into. Fantastic characters, cool spy narrative, and the anime just oozes charm and humour. I'll definitely be tuning in for these. Truly hope you enjoy it! 😊

[@shaeda]

"Twilight: Has no personality, kinda cute though" I'm dead

[@LuisHernandez-xo5kj]

OMG I thought That the next series would be sport related but this Is so cool our girl Sarah Is trying new genres ❤️

[@KSTED1980]

Sarah, after becoming an avid fan watching (and finally catching up to) all of your Haikyuu videos, I am sincerely enamored with the fact that your first outing into other types of anime will be Spy Family! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making these videos, and for sharing them with all of us. They truly are wonderful, and I hope you enjoy this show too! It's one of my absolute favorites due to so many factors that I'm sure you'll love

[@AlbertRotten]

I'm so glad Sarah is branching out to other genres. Spy x Family is a great choice.

[@Ozai75]

If it wasn't obvious, this is set in a fictional West and East Germany at the height of the Cold War (50s-60s) which is why the emphasis on full families, etc. I'm thrilled you're reacting to this, Sarah. You'll love all of the members of the Forgers.

[@hannahmariehisug4575]

Oh! OMGGGGG sarah! Aaagghhh am so happy you're reacting to this!

[@160と書いてイチロー]

動画の投稿ありがとうございますハイキューのリアクション動画も素晴らしかったので、色々なアニメのリアクションをして欲しいと思ってたのでSPY×FAMILYを見てくれて嬉しいです 日本のアニメを愛してくれてありがとう

[@yamikamui]

Run with the Wind then Spy x Family?! Banger after banger!

[@peggedyourdad9560]

I knew you'd fall down the anime rabbit hole after Haikyuu lol. Glad to see you're enjoying that one so far.

[@BoundingBeast]

Wow, Spy x Family wasn't even on my radar for your next series. Can't wait to see the Anya meme faces!

[@blackpanther10105]

The voice actor of Loid is same actor for the captain Yuji Terushima of Johzenji (The yellow team that's energetic) from Haikyuu.

[@zebraman1154]

The audible gasp of excitement i let out seeing this video!

[@xuapril32]

This show is so so cute you're gonna love it, it's a nice lighthearted (for the most part) comedy with a bit of action! There does have to be a little suspension of disbelief as to how no one seems to notice anything suspicious, so just sit back and relax and don't think too hard about the plausibility of certain things, and have an fun time watching!

[@speedy01247]

I love how the dude acts like the Toupee is the big deal then mentions the whole bit about the dude working for the other side as secondary info, I didn't catch the second part till this rewatch. (I knew the minister was working with the west to help maintain the peace, but I didn't realize he knew the minister was sort of a traitor)

[@UncensoredScion]

it is absolutely adorable how attached you are to this family not even before the cutest scene, great!

[@corduroycrook]

Yo sarah you're really killing it with the anime selections. I've never seen a creator/reactor pick this many perfect good vibes shows in a row!

[@Bluerogue23]

So happy you’re reacting to this!! I, like many others, was kind of dreading the end of Haikyuu but this really takes that edge off.

[@Dark_Armywr]

I'm currently watching your Haikyuu's reaction and I'm so happy you are reacting to Spy x family's too

[@erict1628]

31:29 Just a little bit of information. Spy x Family takes place in fictional Cold War era Germany, so you'll find that many things seem unfair by modern society standard. Also, Eden College is a prestigious school, so naturally, it will be extremely elitist, which means single parent family needs not apply. 🤣

[@eva_lr]

I’m so glad you’re watching spy x family! Absolutely adore this show and I can’t wait to see your reactions to this show! Just wanted to clarify a couple of things: Franky is an informant, he’s not Twilight’s handler or a member of WISE (the spy agency) and Anya told Loid that she’s six so nobody’s aware that she’s actually 4 or 5.

[@SweatyTripodGaming]

Was literally just wondering what you'd be watching next as I opened KZbin! What a great pick!

[@dancershorty12]

oh my gosh I am internally screaming right now!! I can't wait for you to watch this!!!!

[@makeda6530]

You’re watching SpyxFamily, oh my gosh! I loved this show, it’s so cute, you’ll love it!

[@parthachem83]

Excellent choice. This is one of the best heart warming and all around anime ever. U just can't dislike it

[@amyfang1424]

AHHHHH THIS IS MY FAVORITE ANIME! So stoked you’re reacting to it :D

[@chennyeats9875]

Been following you since you started haikyu reactions and you are amazing at reacting! Just a suggestion though to grow your Channel more “I’m not sure what criteria you use to choose your next anime” is perhaps choosing a more well known anime. Some suggestions would be demon slayer, jujutsu kaisen, AOT etc wishing you the best and hope to see you get millions of subscribers because I love watching your reactions.

[@kamson8172]

She's recorded Demon Slayer but idk when she will upload. Maybe after her Haikyuu S4 ended.

[@shrutichoudhary9900]

I loved watching and reading Spy x Family a lot. Plus Anya is such a cutie. You won't believe but her voice actor is actually a 32 year old woman and she's done so well. I have her voice set up as my notification tone lol. Every time a notif comes my phone goes "Anya !!" or "chi-chi" or "ui" or "bakudan-bakudan". Also, I truly love that she isn't the definition of "book-nerd" smart. She is just smart as a kid. And she has her own strengths which do not include the bookish intelligence. She is very curious, very lively and all of these things just make her a really good kid. She has her childish innocence which is one of the best things you'll see in this show as compared to many other animes where the kids are just born "wise" and "un-childish" or just mature too fast in their head. I love seeing this dynamic of this family, it is very fictious but at the same time everything is so close to reality.

[@thetenyaiida]

I'm so glad you're trying another genre! You will definitely love this show. Do not worry for being confused at first, overtime it will lie low and eventually turn into an entertaining adorable story!

[@normzy89]

I’ll wait for the day when Sara will start watching the following: 1. Onepiece 2. Hunter x Hunter 3. Jujutsu no Kaisen 4. Attack of Titan

[@anwarmuzaki7196]

yes, another anime, . . . and your videos make my english getting better and better, the way you talks to audience is easy for me to understand and i learn a lot from that, thanks sarah

[@tabo51]

FYI the voice actor for Loid Forger is the same guy who voiced Terushima of Johzenji and Franky is Iwaizumi from Aoba Jozai

[@mohamednadi2592]

a very wholesome and funny show enjoy

[@ralpharonregenio7314]

Quadruple excited for Sarah to go into this wholesome journey

[@pickychese]

Holy cow! I was absolutely not expecting a non-sports anime reaction from Sarah! I think we can officially say Sarah has fully embraced the anime world 😂

[@14Lens]

Also, do keep in mind that the time period for this is like in the 50’s or 60’s so maybe having both parents being mandatory was a thing then or maybe just the school haha

[@marLamaDeo]

Didn’t expect this show. I think the show you would most enjoy is Chihayafuru, it’s sort of like a sports show but not, very character and plot driven like run with the wind but imo even better

[@bosueisi8196]

Yes yes, i support this too!

[@antoniocarlosvieiraaraujo8925]

I would recoment you to see the translation of the opening song later (something like after the third episode) is really interesting to see how the lyrics talk about the characters and gives you a new way to look to the anime

[@TheBatmanWhoReacts]

Feel good anime of the year

[@vice696]

So glad you're watching Spy Family! I love this show!! Anya is amazing.

[@maryisdoingvideos]

AHHH YOU'RE WATCHING SPY X FAMILY!!!!! xD Woah I'm so happy you're reacting to it!!! I think it's a great anime for anime-beginners, I hope you enjoy it!!!!

[@somecallmetim2112]

New sub! Who dis? lol HAD to sub for Spy Family! Haikyu is almost over, and I was really thinking you'd enjoy Spy Family! SO glad this came up in my feed!

[@shcheng2247]

Sarah: Aww~ Anya is so cute~ Anya: heh...

[@acidlzx]

Oh nice! Wasn’t sure what you’d end up picking but SpyxFamily is such a wholesome comedy choice 👍🏻

[@xaivlys]

I just came here after watching your latest Haikyuu reaction. I'm so excited to see you watch more animes 🥰

[@dajtoad1]

Love this show - it's so cute! And Anya's voice actress is incredibly talented. She did an amazing job here of making Anya so likeable. We don't know her age for sure, only that she is 4 or 5 (all we are sure of is that she is not 6 - she said that as she read in his mind that he needed a 6 year old). I love it that although she can read minds, she still has the emotional maturity of a 4/5 year old, so she does not always understand what she is hearing. Same way as a normal child might not.

[@swlfangirl]

I love how much you love this,

[@CheesewedgeFTW]

This is probably my favorite anime that's currently airing. It has the perfect blend of humor, action, and tension. I'm so glad you chose to react to it, looking forward to see what you think!

[@GaboG1]

I'm loving the fact that you are reacting to anime now, not just because its sports! I love your sport being (lol) but also you are a great reactor and person!

[@blupengu]

daaang i did not know this was coming, i'm so happy you're doing spy x family it's super cute!!

[@bradleyatom]

OH MY GOD SHE'S WATCHING NON-SPORTS RELATED ANIME. I dont even care what show you watch next, this is gonna be great.

[@someoneunknown111]

I'm so positively surprised you chose a non-sports anime. I'm glad you're enjoying this colorful world of so many incredible shows!

[@AmapolaOnFire]

I'm so happy yo see you react to this Anime! The Forgers have a special place in my heart and I'm sure they'll soon be part of yours too 😄

[@AlanXEverfrost]

Finding Twilight handsome, Anya adorable and Yor beautiful is the generally accepted norm.

[@dontdrinktapwater6194]

I internally screamed when I got the notification. I'm excited for your first non-sports anime reaction!

[@trycethomas939]

Great choice, honestly wasn't expecting you to venture beyond sports yet, but this was 100% an excellent choice.

[@abcdefg_72]

Wow~ Didn't expect the spy family reaction, but I love it🤣The anime is really interesting and Anya is just the cutest in the world🥰

[@yadiracamacho499]

yes! I love this show. I hope you'll enjoy it

[@carloscantu154]

Omg yessss I never expected this 🥺🥺🥺❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙 holy heaven im so happy and ready

[@user-lo8lu7fp9s]

Thank you for your sending ❤

[@CarbibourNeil]

why did I just saw this channel??? I have been watching your reaction for Haikyu for about 2 years now, but now you have made this channel! Subscribed immediately!

[@hika_ariel]

Sarah, dead serious, staring into my soul: "Twilight: very handsome" 💀💀💀

[@shrutichoudhary9900]

Sarah, one thing u gotta understand for SpyxFamily - it doesn't matter if it doesn't makes sense. it's their world so things just work the way they do lmao

[@jackiemiles2021]

OMG!!! I AM SOO EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE THIS ANIMMEE!!!😁😃

[@chessycake]

OMG!!! From Haikyuu to this? So excited!

[@JouganHunter]

Wow I wasn’t expecting you to react to this! I’m excited for this one!

[@merielles]

Aaah so excited for this show and your reactions❤

[@blitzwulf6655]

Oh good, I was afraid there was gonna be a break between shows.

[@hika_ariel]

Never opened a notification so fast lol. Imma be honest, not my personal favourite anime but I still can't wait to see your reaction to it, imma def watch them all

[@jeffgrant8438]

Oh I'm so happy I get to see you react to this. Such a great show

[@heathersanders5592]

OMG I'm so happy you're watching SpyxFamily you're gonna love it!!

[@danah-hx6mk]

YAYYYYY what a lovely treat to have you react to this show. Immediately melting the moment she sees Anya... real. This show brought (and continues to bring) so many people joy on a weekly basis-- we literally called the days the episodes would air "Spy Family Saturdays" LOL, it's just a perfect boost of wholesomeness. Cannot wait to see you get to know the Forger (yes... "FORGE" hahaha) family :')

[@Neduous]

Woo!! Spy x Family!!!! Can't wait to see all your reactions

[@RedEyesRobotics]

Sarah: Anya is a little manipulator. Me: What you mean to say is she is an instant daddy's girl 🤣🤣🤣

[@AshtailFoxclaw]

Uuh! Checking out a completely different genre! This is exciting !

[@aaronliven4919]

Didn't see that one coming.. But surely a nice surprise, this show is top tier ❤

[@lucasmelee]

YEEEEEEEEES WE DOING SPY X FAMILY WAKU WAKU!!!!

[@hachi1404]

So happy to see your reaction for the new series🥰 I guess that SPYxFamily is good for your first non-sport anime as it is so catchy from the first episode and full of entertainment. Can’t wait for the next one!!

[@buggydes]

Enjoy the series Sarah. Think you'll like this one. Waku waku!

[@bigmind8508]

Yay! I was wondering what would you do next now that you caught up with Haikyuu. This is a nice series to start with!

[@blackhufflepuf]

I'VE NEVER CLICKED ON ANYTHING SO FAST🫠 i gasped and i'm soooo excited for this! I hope you'll enjoy the anime just as much as us did! P.S. i've watch every episode of your haikyuu reaction and every time you talk i keep responding and replying to you a lot like, "yeeees" "no no its okay" "righhtt? I love them too!!!" until my parent thought i had a video chat with another person lol

[@HatakeMoriko]

Yeeeeeees! Hehehe, this is my current comfort anime/manga! Can't wait for the next episode, it has quite an explosive ending. 😏

[@taylordlongcrow]

I love this anime, can't wait to see more!

[@patricewoods289]

I recommend Yuri on ice next

[@zeeistoolame]

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS HAPPENED!! Time to BINGE 🤣

[@GRANIME]

I've been waiting for Sarah to get into an anime that wasn't sports related, and it didn't disappoint I know obviously you had the same reaction when the Haikyuu! army got you to check it out, but watching you be borderline blown away by how far anime has come from the nostalgic shows of the past is always hilarious It's as if you discovered a candy store that is tailor made for you, and it's been hiding in plain sight lol

[@ashleypenn7845]

This is a great starter series for anime noobs. Very approachable and lighthearted. Excellent choice.

[@TraceyOwusu]

Just a little piece of advice, dont expect them to figure it out....they never will lol

[@cozydaydreamss]

Oh my god, SArah this was in one of the lists I commented under one of your Run with the Wind reactions. I’m so happy you decided to react to spy x family.

[@dididyo2253]

I’m sooo happy 😩❤️ enjoy the good vibes and don’t take things too seriously, it’s a comedy!

[@dididyo2253]

“I love her eyeballs” 😂😂😂

[@ericallen2292]

idk know why youre watching this but i love it, its goood
