As someone who hasn't loved previous openings, I think this one is delightful and vibrant - and unique to boot! Yuasa worked his magic here.

A Yuasa SpyxFamily OP, as I live and breathe.

I think the first OP is still my favorite but the animation here is super cool. I’m really looking forward to s2!

We are never gonna top that first op it seems. While my excitement for the manga has dwindled lately I'm still looking forward to a new season of the anime.

I don't get why people love the first OP the most. I personally preferred second one from Araki. Just not a fan of the cartoon-style video and I liked the song more. As for this one, I like it in general. The song is good and the video is decent (though, the opening/closing scene looks a bit goofy).

I never cared for the first OP. The ED was way better, IMO. And while I liked the second OP, this one is easily the top. Very solid gag comedy opening, especially when Loid tries to pour the tea on top of the plane, and then Yor catches it in her cup five feet behind him and Anya.

I really like the first OP's visuals, but I honestly found the song kind of forgettable. I personally like the second OP best.

This OP is coming in at a close second for me, though, and it doesn't surprise me to learn that Masaaki Yuasa made this one. The walking parts with the exaggerated perspective on the feet remind me a lot of his other works.

The first op had alot of personality with great visuals that showed what the show was about. The second op had nice visuals but far less personality.

This new op has a ton of personality but I'm not sure it really fits the show. The visuals are also incredibly goofy but not in a good way. I mean the animation with the feet is certainly a choice.

Overall I will probably be skipping this op each week.

Honestly I'm surprised when I saw so many people didn't seem to like the first OP, but I feel like each OP (and ED) have been great.

Seeing how many people saying it has given me the courage to admit I don’t love the first opening either.

I have seen a lot of people - mainly from the Spy x Family subreddit - call this opening "unfitting" for the series, and I frankly don't get why at all. While Yuasa has left a long of his identity here and it is certainly more abstract compared to the others, I still find it more than keeping the SxF essence present.
