Even if we take Anya's behavior at pure face value not considering that this is anime, she doesn't exhibit any of the symptoms that are associated with neurodivergent children at that age, and in fact she could be argued to be unusually well-adjusted considering the additional external challenges placed on her intellectual and social development by her ability to read minds. So in conclusion, she's 4.

Spy x Family is going to be 26 episodes long apparently, and while I initially thought things would go along at a slower pace more like 1 episode to 1 chapter, ending on the first big "arc" in the manga, we're already at chapter 12 in the manga at episode 8; and that arc starts in chapter 18 or 19 (can't recall off hand). Which means after the initial longer chapters etc. it's settling into a 2 chapters per episode pace. So we'll probably see that arc over the middle of the season. As such, for the guy asking if there's ever any content covering Yor's assassination work then the season finale will probably be the arc that centers around her job; which takes place around the chapter 43 to 50ish mark, so would make sense as the end point of a 26 episode show generally doing 2 chapters an episode. Which is generally good news, but does carry the one negative caveat that since the manga isn't even hugely far ahead of that at the moment (chapter 62.4; a bonus chapter, basically) just released; so it'll probably be a year or two before the anime launches into a second season, so the manga has time to get more content out. tsob fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 29, 2022 |

Point being, she's very likely younger than 6, so the traits that person is attributing to neurodivergence can be explained by her being a literal child.

Honestly the term "neurodivergent" sets my loving teeth on edge. And I am someone who fits that label.

I wonder how long (in universe) the series will go for the main part of its serialization. Anya being 1-2 years younger than her classmates this early on is pretty huge, but as they get further into grade school Anya will catch up very very fast if she's actually reasonably gifted.

Well, Twilight's Handler seems to think it'll only take 4 months. Which is pretty naive, but as we've seen with Twilight, all these spies seem to think of kids as tiny adults who can really climb the academic ladder fast given the right training and motivation instead of... y'know, children. I'm sure it'll go past that but eventually WISE is gonna start putting the pressure on and go "okay Twilight time's a wastin' that loving kid of yours better start getting some stars" TwoPair fucked around with this message at 18:43 on May 29, 2022 |

Yeah, I have a pair of nieces that just recently turned 5 and 7 and the way they act is very reminiscent of Anya and Becky respectively. The 5 year old even has the tendency to mispronounce words just like Anya compared to the 7 year old.

WISE is just like any company where you show just a tiny bit of competence and they suddenly start expecting you to move mountains and Twilight is like the most competent person in the world.

If you're not around or haven't worked with kids before, it's easy to misinterpret or not notice/understand their developmental milestones (even people who work in a field with kids still mess up). But anyways yeah Anya is a kid with psychic powers and while she can glean thoughts and secrets due to that, lack of life experience means she isn't able to effectively utilize it or when she does, it makes her look weird.

Yuri wondering whether Yor calls Loid “Loi Loi” or “Loidy” and then screaming a Bob Odenkirk style “goddammit” is the funniest thing in the show so far to me. Tremendous.

Yeah, they would have picked like green or purple for the blood spray, or just erase it digitally from every frame. It's a short segment so it wouldn't take too long to do.

Personally, and given the popularity of the series, I hope they pull a Demon Slayer and turn That Arc into a surprise movie after S1. I think there are enough extra chapters, and the series has done a superb job so far with anime-only extras, that they could pull it off in a pinch if they needed to.

Every anime canon movie so far has been redone in their respective anime. And if that's the case going forward I rather they just make wacky questionably canon movie like MHA.

Yeah the MHA movies have places where they could slot in canon if they decide they want to do that, but they're honestly so crazy I'd prefer they stay ambiguously canon.

SexyBlindfold posted:The manga translated it as "a bullet or a nuke" but yeah, same effect. The Briar family seems to be very no thoughts head empty when in their off time. I think it's probably a censorship thing in the anime, since I am 90% sure the manga said nuke in Japanese, while the anime clearly says "meteor".
