Spy X Family season 2 releases creditless opening theme video
On October 4, 2023, the official website of the Spy X Family anime released the opening theme video for its second season. The video, directed and storyboarded by renowned anime director Masaaki Yuasa, featured a clean animation sequence without any credits.

Meanwhile, the video showcases a new captivating opening song titled "Kurakura," skillfully performed by Ado. Ado is recognized for her exceptional portrayal of Uta in the renowned anime series One Piece. In addition to that, she has also lent her extraordinary talent in rendering the opening theme songs for other notable One Piece productions such as One Piece Film: Red, Shin Jidai, Kaze no Yukue, and many more.
The opening theme video started with lighthearted visuals of the Forger family walking together, but it also cleverly alluded to the hidden occupations of Loid and Yor as a spy and an assassin.
Continuing, the video showed Loid Forger getting ready to have some tea while the family seemed to be getting ready for an excursion. Surprisingly, Loid decided to bring the teapot along as they embarked on a journey in a car, eventually finding themselves on a partially submerged ship.

Witness the captivating sight of the family effortlessly leaping onto a magnificently designed Twin-fuselage aircraft. In this delightful scene, Loid, with utmost care, endeavors to serve Anya a refreshing cup of tea. However, the gusty breeze playfully carries away the tea, thwarting his efforts. Fortunately, Yor skillfully intercepts the flying liquid, successfully directing it into her own cup, which she astutely savors. It is worth noting that their loyal companion, Bond, accompanies them on this atmospheric outing, dutifully carrying precious Anya throughout the adventure.
Shortly after, the Forger family leaped from the aircraft. Amidst the descent, Loid made another attempt to serve Anya a cup of tea, but Yor accidentally ended up consuming it once more. Finally, the scene concluded with Loid, Anya, and Yor walking together, each carrying their own cup of tea.
