One of the big ones looks like it's finally happening. Was inevitable after the domain was registered (well, it was inevitable period). Wit and CloverWorks co-production, so no complaints there. Big-time A-list director, too.

Yup. They can adapt up to the latest arc just fine with 2 cours IMHO. The chapters are not super long. Or are you thinking they'll go 1 chapter per ep?

Frontier with the episode summary. Always appreciated!
Just finished this myself. It was excellent! The spyycraft was a whole lot of fun and they even tricked me a time or two. Spoiler:
Oh... and Twilight is very thorough. Spoiler:
Great premise. Can't wait for next episode. (They should have pulled a Vivy and shown the first two back to back!)

I've been looking forward to this for years, knew this would get animated eventually but its still so much fun actually watching it now.
Poor Twilight, raising a daughter is much harder than stealing state secrets. Especially such an adorable adventurous daughter. The voice acting was great, Anya was cute and hilarious and Twilight has cool professionalism and exasperation down pat already. And it helps that his overall mission is to keep the peace, making for a lighter atmosphere overall even with all the cloak and dagger stuff going on. Too bad for Twilight his mission just keeps getting more complicated but that's the fun part, watching him adapt and soldier on. That and more Anya. |

Holy breakneck pace, Batman!
Like damn, almost no second is wasted. Twilight (aka. the author) literally copied the similar move done by Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2. Only, Tom Cruise was more thorough by putting a mask of his face on the henchmen instead of just covering his face with a paper bag. Spoiler for M:I-2 Spoiler:

Rollin Hand (Martin Landau) provided technical assistance on mask creation for this show.
I'm probably the only one here old enough to have watched the original Mission Impossible TV series as it aired. Appointment viewing in our house at the time. Plus Landau had the very good fortune to be married to Barbara Bain (who played femme fatale Cinnamon in the show).

A very strong first episode as expected. This is already a great manga, so I fully expected the anime to be excellent. All the more so with the studios behind it. Really didn't disappoint. Twlight is awesome and I love how he handled things. A nice brief glance at his own past. Understandable that he'd have a hard time with crying kids when it ties to his own trauma.
Anya is a blast. What a wonderful and utterly goofy kid. She's got her own difficulties and it makes sense that she's sitting on the telepathy thing. Good thing she actually did commit to studying...the test answers. Otherwise she'd have been doomed trying to use telepathy. This is going to be fun .

"How should I make a child in 7 days?!"
Seriously that agency is messed up to give Twilight such a short-notice task. XD Without Franky stealing the questions there is no way Anya would have gotten in, just look how many candidates there were. No wonder Twilight dropped dead after that was done. Really cute how Anya cuddled with her papa on the couch. <3 Vibrant colors, fluid movement, amazing voice acting, all around very great first episode. You can see that they put a lot of money and care into the series.

That was as great an adaptation as anything's going to get, my only complaint would be that it was very fast paced but I can understand them wanting to get chapter one (70 pages) done in the first episode.
Anya is even cuter animated! The way she actually speaks in Japanese makes her sound more childish than the English translation does. I was a bit surprised as a long time manga reader.
