A hit with fans and critics alike, SPY x FAMILY CODE: White currently holds a 94% critic score and 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film delivers an original story that stands alone from the beloved television series, featuring secret agent <Twilight>, his deadly assassin wife Yor, and their adopted telepath daughter Anya in an all-new mission.
With animation produced by WIT STUDIO (Attack on Titan (Seasons 1-3); VINLAND SAGA; Ranking of Kings) and CloverWorks (Horimiya; WIND BREAKER; The Elusive Samurai), SPY x FAMILY CODE: White is the feature directorial debut of Takashi Katagiri. The screenplay is written by Ichiro Okouchi (Sing a Bit of Harmony; Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury).
“He’s a spy. She’s an assassin. Together, Loid and Yor keep their double lives to themselves while pretending to be the perfect family. However, their adopted daughter Anya, a telepath, knows both of their exciting secrets unbeknownst to them. While under the guise of taking his family on a weekend winter getaway, Loid’s attempt to make progress on his current mission Operation Strix proves difficult when Anya mistakenly gets involved and triggers events that threaten world peace!”
