SPY x FAMILY Anime Launches “Anya x Summer” August Art Gallery Event
The beloved anime series SPY x FAMILY may be on hiatus until its highly anticipated third season premieres in October 2024, but fans are in for a vibrant treat this summer. As part of a new promotional initiative, the official SPY x FAMILY social media accounts have launched a special “Anya x Summer” art gallery campaign, bringing fresh illustrations and seasonal excitement throughout the month of August.
“Anya x Summer” Art Series Premieres Weekly
Beginning August 2, 2024, fans can expect a new piece of artwork featuring the fan-favorite character Anya Forger to be released every Friday during the month. Each week’s illustration embraces a refreshing summer theme as part of a project titled “Anya x Summer”, offering fans glimpses of Anya in charming seasonal backdrops.
The first installation, titled “Anya x Fireworks”, captures Anya enjoying a night of fireworks in a beautifully illustrated yukata. The artwork features a playful nod to her beloved stuffed penguin, as its image subtly appears in the pattern of her outfit. This captivating visual sets the tone for the month-long campaign that continues to deliver cheerful, summer-inspired content.
Animation Studios and Creative Team Behind SPY x FAMILY
While the art gallery lights up August, fans can look forward to the return of the SPY x FAMILY anime series in October 2024 with its third season. Produced through the acclaimed collaboration between WIT STUDIO and CloverWorks, the upcoming season promises to uphold the high-quality animation and storytelling that has defined the franchise.
Building on the successes of the first two seasons, the production brings together a returning and accomplished staff. Yukiko Imai, who previously contributed as both storyboard artist and episode director, will now serve as the primary director for Season 3. This change ensures continuity with a fresh directorial perspective. Longtime contributor Rino Yamazaki, who previously handled scriptwriting duties, has been promoted to the role of series composer for the upcoming chapters.
Kazuaki Shimada will continue delivering the distinctive character designs fans have come to love, preserving the series’ signature look. Additionally, musical duties are once again undertaken by (K)NoW_NAME, whose compositions have consistently contributed to the anime’s engaging atmosphere.
Voice Cast and Streaming Details for SPY x FAMILY
The core voice cast from previous installments will reprise their roles in Season 3, including Takuya Eguchi as Loid Forger (code name: Twilight), Atsumi Tanezaki as Anya Forger, and Saori Hayami as Yor Forger. Their compelling performances have played a pivotal role in the anime’s global success and continue to build anticipation for the upcoming season.
The SPY x FAMILY anime series, produced jointly by WIT STUDIO and CloverWorks, is available for streaming on Crunchyroll in both subbed and dubbed formats. In addition to the first two seasons, Crunchyroll also offers the feature-length film SPY x FAMILY CODE: White, expanding the universe for viewers around the world.
Official Synopsis and Global Appeal
According to Crunchyroll’s official series description:
“World peace is at stake, and secret agent Twilight must undergo his most difficult mission yet—pretend to be a family man. Posing as a loving husband and father, he’ll infiltrate an elite school to get close to a high-profile politician. He has the perfect cover, except his wife’s a deadly assassin, and neither knows each other’s identity. But someone does—his adopted daughter, who’s a telepath!”
This unique blend of espionage, comedy, and heartfelt family dynamics continues to resonate with global audiences, solidifying SPY x FAMILY’s position as one of modern anime’s most celebrated titles.
