Anime like Spy x Family: 5 found-family comedies
Spy x Family works because the premise is absurd and the family feels real. These picks keep the comedy, the found family or the double life.
If you want another improvised family
These picks share the part of the original that matters most. Use the notes to choose the tone, length and setting you want next.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
A powerful psychic, a cast of weirdos and rapid comedy. It is more gag-focused and has no family premise.
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War
Two people overthink every interaction, with escalating comic set pieces. It is a romance comedy rather than a spy story.
Buddy Daddies
Two assassins, a child and an improvised family. It is more action-forward and more sentimental.
Hinamatsuri
A yakuza member, a strange girl and deadpan domestic comedy. It is looser and more episodic.
Sakamoto Days
A retired assassin, a family and absurd action comedy. It is more fight-focused and newer.
