Please go into watching the show without feeling the need to compare it to spy x family. I haven’t even watch the first episode yet and y’all are already comparing it to another show. There’s nothing wrong with similarities but straight up calling it a “knock off of spy x family” is disrespectful. Please watch the show without bringing down another show.

i think it’s ok to compare them, but after watching episode 2 it’s clear that it’s a very different show that will go in it’s own direction and is worth watching without needing to be compared to anything else.

hopefully people will stop calling it a knockoff as the plot develops more bc i think it’s going to be really good

it's only expected that people would draw comparisons seeing the parallels, but having the same plot expectation/direction for both is silly lol

I agree. The only similarity so far is that it’s spy/hitmen raising a child. The characters are completely different

There's really not much to compare to begin with other than there's a young girl in both shows. I guess spy/hitman, to a lesser degree.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I agree and I’m so glad someone said it. Every comment I see on this show always talks about how similar it is to spy x family and it makes me so mad. Let me enjoy both please without feeling the need to compare. If we’re going to compare these two shows, then we might as well compare every mecha anime that’s not NGE to NGE.

agree with this, everyone out there saying that "it's spyxfamily but BL" or "it's just spy x family copy" and they don't have anything in common (aside from taking care of a little kid) and it's not BL either, the characters doesn't even have the same personality, people should stop that fr

Yep, finally somebody else said this! That's what I was mention in another thread, it's more like Fugou Keiji. The characters also looks similar to Haru and Daisuke by look, and the whole vibe is like that, but with a child.

I am not complaining though.

Yes! It has some heavy inspiration especially in appearance, but also regarding the criminal scene and secret missions.

I'm also okay with this. FK is one of my fav releases of the last 3 years, so may they take all the inspiration they want and need xD

I think most people would notice the resemblances if Fugou wasn't so underrated.

I can't blame them for comparing it to Spy x Family (2 adults with discreet jobs and a kid) but the similarity ends there. The story is entirely different. Calling it a knock-off sure is a disservice to the author.

I haven't done so, and have no clue why people are. They're nothing alike. Two odd people raising a kid. 'ooo that's so Spy x Family!' Nah, not really. Might as well compare both to Tokyo Godfathers or worse yet, Spy Kids. People really need to get over themselves.

The fact this thread even needed to be created is such a ridiculous reflection of how Spy x Family co-opted this genre of "young girl with found family of dubious profession."

Hinamatsuri and Kumichou Musume no Sewagakari are both better comparisons to Buddy Daddies in terms of their plot, and are also both better at this genre than Spy x Family, yet now any show that introduces this plot point has to be immediately be compared to Spy x Family, which failed to succeed in being proficient in any of the seven genres it tried to dabble in.

Please.  If you like this genre - compare it to Kakushigoto.  Compare it to Barakamon.  Compare it to Usagi Drop.  Compare it to Deaimon.  Compare it to Yotsubato.  Compare it to Beelzebub for God's sake.  But don't compare it to a show that tried to mix Kaguya-sama slapstick with Princess Principal action scenes with all the tonal whiplash of Full Metal Panic.  That is an insult to this genre.

I haven't watched FK yet, but I saw some people stating the same as you.

For me, the whole aesthetic of the show (visuals + sound + character design) reminds me a LOT of Great Pretender hahaha

I'm glad more people noticed this. And I'm happy it has resemblances, since FK is one my fav anime of 2020 ^__^

I didn't watch Great Pretender (yet), but if it has this same idea as you stated, I'll like it a lot.

Well, Spy x Family didn't kill a father to then take that man's daughter and raise her...

And then continue to kill fathers without realizing how many more Miris they may be creating...

So yeah, at least Spy x Family didn't make our protagonists the bad guys without realizing it.


Probably a good thing Spy x Family is not being compared, because the fights in that one are better, and our protagonists smarter and better at their jobs.

Also, the automatic weapons in this show are laughable. If I see another fully automatic weapon fire at our protagonists, and it does NOTHING....
It is laughable how bad firearms are in this anime when anyone besides our Main Characters use them.
Are we using Firearms, or toy guns, because I can't tell the difference anymore.

Agree, the focus of the show is different.

In SxF the main goal is to stop the war(?) and Loid utilizes Anya's help for his mission, forming an unlikely family. True they all grow to care for each other, but the focus and end goal is still stopping the war.

In Buddy Daddies, there is no such goal or mission. In unlikely circumstances they are compelled to raise this kid. And it focuses more on their daily life struggles of raising kids while also managing their illegal activities on the sidelines for money.

Also ep7 spoliers, it is so relatable, like if my mom left my dad and me alone at home, our home will also be in shambles without any support or direction. Really liking this show.

I agree. I see some other also agree to that. Rei sleeps in the bathtub, and have it hair down in casual mode vs serious mode. Along with Great Pretender is one of those show I enjoy for having both relaxing, comedic and thriller, mystery part of the plot. 

However, I don't think Buddy Daddies are doing it well by trying too hard to make Miri this realistic. She is relatable to children in real life (multiple children put into one character). The anime approach to parenting is wishy washy in every way. Putting a child in and the thriller part tuned down to Spy x Family level of seriousness despite all the killing. The comedic part is very tame especially when they need to make looney tune out of gun fights. If it's treated as Slice of Life, it's again not relaxing, cute enough so far.
