SPY x FAMILY CODE: White (劇場版 SPY×FAMILY CODE: White) opened in Japanese cinemas today. The first show of the day was quite early so I caught the second show instead. Waku waku!
The movie is a nice side story. The first 10 minutes also like a quick intro of the characters, so it is entertaining even for people who have not watched the anime or read the manga. The story itself is connected to the main story, but takes place mainly in a different town (and other places) with a few new side characters.
Visually, the movie is appealing but does not detract so much above the quality of the TV series as to make it feel out of place. Even the aspect ratio is the familiar 16:9 that we usually find on TV screens today.
In terms of pacing, the first 10 minutes was used to introduce the characters but without being too narrative. Instead, situations featuring the characters were used to help introduce them. The story progresses at a nice pace as it moves from the main storyline to the actual setting of this movie, the town that it is set in, and then a more exciting setting as it builds up to the climax of the story. And in the end, the story brings us all back to the main storyline so that the Forger family can continue with their lives (and Lloyd with his main mission).
By the way, stay till the very end of the movie, there is one final scene after the credits have finished rolling.
