Spy x Family: Spy EX Family for Life!
May 14, 2022 04:18 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MBFirst, I'm not buying that it's Spy "times" Family... No matter what Twitter says! And even if it is, we at Anime ShoShin refuse to call it that! Why? because that's a dumb name! In Japan they like to exclude the "x" (Hunter Hunter). Here, we say it with pride. Say it with me! Spy Ex Family! Phew, now that that's out of the way. In this episode we talk about the first 5 episodes of Spy x Family. And a bunch of other random stuff, so we hope you Like x It! AnimeShoShin.com
