One of the most wholesome shows that feels like a warm hug, Spy X Family is one of the best modern anime, and it's perfect for all ages. Initially, fans may think that this series about spies and assassins is a bit mature, but violence is not a major aspect of the show at all. Rather, the focus is on the fake Forger family and the very real bond they form as they try to hide their backgrounds from each other while pretending to be the perfect family.

This leads to some wonderful moments where Loid understands what it means to truly care for someone, Yor tries to live the life of a regular person while hiding her nefarious background, Anya pretends that she isn't a telepath, and the family dog has precognitive abilities that no one is aware of. It makes for a wacky yet endearing combination, ensuring that this incredible anime will leave viewers with a broad smile on their faces.
