It is indeed a momentous collaboration.

The latest

The latest collaboration between Spy x Family and Wish is particularly enjoyable due to the symmetrical key visuals that offer a mirror image of each other, featuring the same backdrop with distinct differences.

It's also refreshing to see the two animated films collaborating, despite being in competition for box office rankings and ticket sales in Japan. While they may have differences in animation style and production, they will still be compared once the CODE: White film is released later this week.

The highly anticipated Spy x Family CODE: White film is the introduction to the beloved anime series, based on Tatsuya Endo's original manga. This new film features an original story and character designs by Endo himself, who is also overseeing the production.

WIT Studio and CloverWorks, responsible for the mainline television anime series, are also animating the franchise film. The film is directed by Takashi Katagiri, with Ichiro Okouchi as the scriptwriter. Other key members of the production team include Kazuaki Shimada as the character designer, Kana Ishida as the sub-character designer, and Kyoji Asano as the chief animation director. Kazuhiro Furuhashi serves as the animation supervisor, [K]NoW_NAME is the music producer, and Shoji Hata is the sound director.

The film will see the return of the central cast from the anime series, including Atsumi Tanezaki as Anya Forger, Kenichiro Matsuda as Bond Forger, Saori Hayami as Yor Forger, and Takuya Eguchi as Loid Forger/Twilight. Joining the cast for the film are Banjou Ginga as Snijder, Kento Kaku as Luka, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Type F, and Tomoya Nakamura as Dmitri.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the collaboration between Spy x Family and Disney's Wish. The key visual is stunning, and it perfectly captures the essence of both franchises. I love how Anya and Bond from Spy x Family are mirrored by Asha and Valentino from Disney's Wish. It's a creative way to showcase the similarities and differences between the two animated films.

I also appreciate that this collaboration is happening despite the fact that Spy x Family and Disney's Wish are competitors at the box office. It shows that the two studios are willing to put aside their rivalry for the sake of creating something special for their fans. I think this is a great example of how collaboration can lead to amazing results.
