Anya is such an awesome character. She manages to straddle the line between cute and capable in such a way that scenes with her own misadventures tend to steal the show from Loid and Yor without feeling overtly cutesy.
You could even keep it balanced as she grows up.
Teenage hormones and the thoughts of her peers makes it weird to use her powers on them and when she is an adult she has more important things to worry about.
There was this one manga about a teenager telepath whose weakness (that was revealed much later) is that her visions are her own brain interpreting stray thoughts rather than the accurate thoughts
So like someone thought "I went out yesterday to eat cake", she'd have a vision of them eating the kind of cake she liked, on a café she knew, even if that was not the case, because that is how her brain would interpret "going out to eat cake"
It's a romcom and not an action amnga so there are no really high stakes, but turns out she was sure the guy behind her was having lewd thoughts about her 24/7, when he just had a crush on her and thought about getting into a relationship;
She translated that into very lewd images coming out from him, and thought he was kind of a creep, because SHE was a pervert in denial, so she her brain translated feelings of attraction to sex acts, because that'd how she thought.
Like, he'd think stuff like "I wanted to spend some time alone with her after class", and her mind would immediatelly jump it to a cliché scene where he was pinning her against the wall on an empty classroom, when he was literally just thinking about having a conversation to know her better.
To be fair, she only fills in the image, and on the very first page he thinks the words ["Would you like... to do all sorts of things together? Mainly erotic"](https://mangadex.org/chapter/cbf1d3ba-4252-479f-ba0b-c42ff6a109ae) so there's a possibility his imagined image iis MORE perverted then what she sees.
I always thought the "mainly erotic" part being in a different font indicated that was her brain annotating it
Questions about this aside, I always liked how the manga made it so the telepathic panels are the ones with color, rather than the other way around. Makes it feel like from her POV, real life is what she hears while actual reality is bland and boring
I'm so glad they've decided to make this niche anime game for Spy X Family.
The cynical in me screams that it's just cause they couldn't make it an arena fighter.
The not stick-in-the-mud in me says "so what? This seems fun!"
The game isn’t for me unfortunately but the show is very charming and is an easy recommend for anyone wanting a fun anime with the occasional sad moment. Easily one of the best not a family but actually is.
Can we talk about the fact that there hasn't been a new Parappa or Um Jammer Lammy game, and how that's a crime? The freestyle function was so fucking cool.
Master Onion looking hotter than ever on the left
I think he's been working out
He seems strong enough to launch a volleyball into space. >!Yor's running gag of being as strong as a Spartan 2 always cracks me up.!<
So is the SxF game a good minigame collection or a bad minigame collection?
It’s more of a slice of life sim with mini-games to break up the pace. From what I’ve played so far it’s certainly cute, but probably not $50 cute.
The $50 price tag is also what kept me away from the FSN cooking mama game. I really want to get my hand on it one day.
Your description made me think of the videogame adaptation of [Barnyard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJXqKT67Zys). Minus the $50 part.
With Anya, "It's all in the mind" takes a whole new meaning.

Turns out the best way to balance a telepath in your story is by making them a 5 year old.
I saw a tumblr post that said "Anya would be completely unstopable if not for the incredible burden of being 4 years old"
And thats *minus* the telepathy

Mousou Telepathy is the name of the manga for those wondering.
Thanks, I was trying to remember but couldn't

Anya is peak "Funny Little Guy" and is the heart and soul of that series.
Probably the most realistically written anime child, mind reading notwithstanding.
Capable? She’s dumb and clumsy and I love it! Dhe can’t tell the time
Spy X Family is the king of good vibes
I'm so glad they've decided to make this niche anime game for Spy X Family. The cynical in me screams that it's just cause they couldn't make it an arena fighter. The not stick-in-the-mud in me says "so what? This seems fun!"
I could see Loid getting into Call of Duty... It'd be less out there than Alucard...
I actually thought this was from the funhaus sub at first because James jokes about Parappa a lot.
The Willems should stream this
The game isn’t for me unfortunately but the show is very charming and is an easy recommend for anyone wanting a fun anime with the occasional sad moment. Easily one of the best not a family but actually is.
Now that's an ooting I didn't see coming...
Christ... that is outrageously cute, I should get caught up on Spy x Family.
Can we talk about the fact that there hasn't been a new Parappa or Um Jammer Lammy game, and how that's a crime? The freestyle function was so fucking cool.
There was that Scratchin Melodi fan/indie game in the same vein. Check it out if you haven't.
...I might need to buy this game
Its the dog that does it for me
