It's on a two week delay, so Dub ep 16 will be released at the same-ish time Japanese ep 18 releases.

It's actually my first manga i've ever bought too. I rarely ever consume any anime, its been years since I last watched anything, but this is so addictive, accessible, and the story is great. I love the characters, especially Anya.

Viz's digital membership is almost criminally cheap, at $2 a month for a fuckton of different manga in their entirety. Or at least, up to present on contemporary ones. You can read the manga up to present on the site if you buy a membership. Or even start a trial.

I like him when he's not obsessing over Yor. Which isn't very often granted, but I liked him thinking of Anya as a little gremlin and then getting serious about helping her study this episode for instance. Which, yeah, predicated on his love for Yor, but still fun once he got into it. Him shouting about how good Yor's food is while puking is a fun gag too.

She has her own baseline intelligence which is enough for a girl her age, just not really good enough for a girl enrolled at a prestigious school.

She's also probably at least year younger than her peers, which is a pretty big deal at that age.

Oh yeah Anya lied about her age definitely, and that's at least a year of cognitive development behind her peers.

the bright side is that frantically trying to compete with people one year older than you is a highly-effective-if-brutally-difficult way to learn

that's thought to be why top professional athletes have a disproportionately large number of older siblings - Larry Jordan made it to collegiate basketball, his little brother spent his entire childhood trying to keep up, and made it to all-time great

I would assume there's some selection bias there, in that you really only hear about the cases where younger siblings successfully out-do their older siblings, but that there's probably a pretty high rate of burn out for younger siblings trying to out-do older siblings and just not being able to keep it up long term, eventually transitioning to other things if not just collapsing emotionally and mentally from the effort in worst case scenarios.

Sure, even Loid acknowledges that it's a good sign. He's just pretty exhausted from the stress, and knows it has to keep going further.

they looked into that too by looking at younger vs elder siblings in families that had an elite athlete. If you're younger than your star sibling, you tend to do more competitive sports and get to a higher level of sport achievement than if you're older than your star sibling.

so a hypothetical Bob Jordan (Mike's younger brother), would probably play a lot more basketball than his other siblings, and would probably do it well

It is kind of incredible Anya saw a vision of her cool spy dad die and came face to face with an actual bomb and only came out of that with a slight traumatization of not being able to read a clock properly.

The puking gag is still great (with the follow-up gag of Bond just passed out on the floor after trying Yor's cooking and no one saying anything about it was hilarious), but yeah, Yuri's obsession makes it hard to like the character. I feel like he's the one big misstep in the series so far; Yuri could have been just overprotective of his older sister instead of obsessive, and he still would have been a threat to Loid (both on a micro and macro level to his mission), but it was taken too far. Hell, he still could love Yor's cooking and constantly puke while eating it without the obsession, all you have to say is that's what he grew up with and it reminds him of good times, and it works fine.

Just want to vent a little at the quality of subtitle that I've got for this anime. There's two ways that I know of to watch Spy X Family legally in my part of the world, Netflix and Disney Plus. And both of those sites, I think the quality of subtitling for this anime is not that great.

Like in this latest episode, when Anya was talking to Yuri about studying. In the Disney Plus version, she said, 'You like studying? Are you pervert?' while in other translations that I saw, she said, 'You like studying? What's wrong with you?' Which makes more sense.

There's other things like that, like the Netflix one translated Anya's "ootings" as "excursions", which I guess is similar but it removes the joke of Anya constantly mispronouncing words.

EDIT

Another example, when Yuri said, "Knowledge is Power", my version translated Anya's response as, 'Doggy-Doggy Power?' While other versions, translated it, "no leash is power?' Maybe that's not quite as literal but at least the other translation preserve Anya's running gag.
