"SPY×FAMILY" is a hugely popular series on Jump+, and 2023 may be the hottest year for "SPY×FAMILY" fans! The popularity of the first season of the previous anime series, "SPY×FAMILY," has paid off, with the second season of the anime and an original movie scheduled for release at the end of the year! While fans had always expected the second season of the anime to be broadcast, the decision to produce a movie with an original story was unexpected and came as a real surprise to many. This just goes to show how popular the series is, so as a "SPY×FAMILY" fan, you'll definitely want to make the most of all the releases in 2023! So, in this article, we'll be focusing on the movie and second season of the anime, which will be released in 2023, which is sure to be a turbulent year for "SPY×FAMILY," and discussing the popularity of "SPY×FAMILY" and its success around the world!
Theatrical version production has been confirmed!!
First, I'd like to introduce the theatrical version of "SPY×FAMILY," the biggest attraction of the year. This year's theatrical version of this work, "SPY×FAMILY CODE: White," is scheduled to be released at the end of 2023.
An original story!
Before details about this film were released, rumors circulated that the "Luxury Cruise Ship Arc" would be depicted in a movie. Many fans were probably expecting this information, but when it was released, it turned out to be a completely original story.
Enjoyable all year round
The second season of the anime will air first, followed by the movie. This means you can enjoy the second season of the anime and then the movie, making this a year where you can enjoy "SPY×FAMILY" without ever getting bored!
Watch out for it in the second half of the year!
In any case, even just the theatrical release is a highly anticipated anime release this year, and there's no doubt it's a work with great potential. This year has seen many big hits in the first half of the year, so I'm really hoping it can ride this trend.
"SPY×FAMILY" is hot right now!
[itemlink post_id="110417"]
With the second anime season and a movie coming out this year, "SPY×FAMILY" is arguably the hottest content. What has enabled this series to reach this level of success? We'll explore the secret to its popularity.
The Pillars of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" and "SPY×FAMILY"
One reason is that "SPY×FAMILY" was elevated to a position of hope for Jump following the conclusion of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." While Jump continues to feature popular content like "ONE PIECE" and "HUNTER×HUNTER," it tends to be a little tame when it comes to up-and-coming new content like this one.
With "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" coming to an end, will they focus on "SPY×FAMILY"?
Even in such a situation, the two pillars of Jump, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" and "SPY×FAMILY," managed to gain popularity and were extremely valuable from Jump's perspective. With "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" coming to an end, perhaps Jump is now focusing its efforts on "SPY×FAMILY."
Anyone Can Enjoy It on Jump+
In addition, unlike "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," "SPY×FAMILY" has the added benefit of being available on Jump+, meaning anyone can easily enjoy it through the app. This broad appeal, making it easy for anyone to get involved, is steadily expanding its fan base.
Season 1 of the anime is a big hit
Amidst all this, Season 1 of the anime aired to extremely positive reviews. This proved that there are many fans who want to enjoy this series not only as a manga but also as an animated series, further boosting the development of "SPY×FAMILY" content.
We look forward to further improvements in the animation!!
As such, "SPY×FAMILY" is currently experiencing a surge in popularity due to various factors, and it's a title that not only the production company but also sponsors are putting a lot of effort into. As fans, we can enjoy even more content as its popularity grows, and most importantly, we benefit from improved animation, so we want to further support the popularity of "SPY×FAMILY."
Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, it's time to head to the theater!
And above all, 2023 marks the end of the long-running COVID-19 pandemic. For those who have refrained from going out due to fear of COVID-19, the end of the pandemic has given them the opportunity to get out and enjoy various forms of entertainment.
The Film Industry is Recovering
Thanks to this post-COVID-19 consumer trend known as "revenge consumption," the film industry, which had been shrinking rapidly during the pandemic, has shown a remarkable recovery.
A multitude of mega-hits have appeared
This Golden Week in particular saw the release of several mega-hit anime titles, grossing over ¥10 billion, drawing significant attention. In addition to anime titles, the film release schedule was packed with exciting new releases, including director Anno's latest work, Shin Kamen Rider.
Following in the footsteps of Mario and Conan!!
Riding on the momentum of the global hit "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Detective Conan: The Iron Submarine," the first film in the series to gross over 10 billion yen, it will be interesting to see if "SPY×FAMILY CODE: White the Movie" can also become a hit.
Attract families during the winter holidays!
Golden Week in particular saw a huge boost in the film industry, with families eager to enjoy a long-awaited holiday free from the effects of COVID-19. The theatrical release of this film, like Golden Week, is set to be released during the winter break, a time when families can easily enjoy movies, so it's likely to attract significant demand.
Japanese Anime Content Gaining Global Attention
With the start of the second anime season and the release of the movie, "SPY×FAMILY" is generating a lot of excitement, but it's not just in Japan that's garnering attention. In fact, Japanese anime content, including "SPY×FAMILY," is also gaining attention overseas. From here, I'd like to introduce this growing popularity overseas.
The worldview is easy to understand and well-received
While anime content itself is popular overseas, this work "SPY×FAMILY" in particular seems to be particularly popular. One reason for this is that the story is set in Europe during the Cold War, making it a very easy-to-understand worldview for people overseas who are familiar with Western history.
Anya Becomes an Internet Meme
As such, the series has successfully gained many international fans, thanks in part to its worldview that is easy to understand even for those overseas. However, its popularity has soared overseas that Anya's funny faces have become a trending online meme. Have you ever seen overseas anime fans sending Anya's funny faces to their friends on Twitter or elsewhere?
Can it gain popularity as a Japanese content? ?
As you can see, "SPY×FAMILY" has already established itself among anime fans overseas. It will be interesting to see if it can become an anime that is embraced not only by anime fans but also by people of all ages overseas! 2023, with the release of the second anime season and the movie, will be a crucial year for this series to take another leap forward, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
We look forward to the future of SPY×FAMILY!!
As you can see, 2023 is a year full of exciting things to look forward to for Spy x Family. Not only will fans of the series have become fans through the original manga and first season of the anime, but many will also become fans through the second season and the movie. As the fanbase grows, we can look forward to the possibility of new merchandise and content being developed for the series.
Let's enjoy the second season of the anime first!
