| Yikes, Miri can be somewhat hard to deal with her childish behavior. She has quite an appetite...and cries way too much. Although Kazuki can be a bit goofy, he's also quite crafty with his work and I'm kinda impressed. I know the episode made that look comical but Kazuki should never let a kid like Miri get caught into the middle of a gunfight lol |

| Miri is a bundle of energy of a child. A disaster immune to trauma. It's like nothing fazes her until Papa leaves lol. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
epic action it was  |

| Anya's cousin of the 2000s or I should say, her 10th cousin? |
 |
| Well, Miri was certainly a handful, she loves tag, food, and cries quite a bit. Maybe she’s a bit loud but that’s not completely atypical of a 4 year old. The dynamics between the characters here is interesting, but a little too comical for me, as the comedy makes the darker spy themes a bit less meaningful than it could be. The character in the post credit scene was ruthless though, and I would be interested to see who he is. |
this is so fucked up. kid's gonna be traumatized.  also just from the opening, I have a feeling that papa dies at the end ๐ข. it looks like a bullet wound.   |
| Why do I get the feeling that Rei is going to single-handedly carry the entire show? Miri is annoying af. It's like they tried to make her cute but just made her obnoxious. |

| The OP & ED are fun and catchy. I especially like the pitch-corrected vocals and catchy melodies in the OP, and the intro to the ED playing underneath the closing dialogue, nice groovy way to wrap things up. That assassin who worked post-credits seems savage and bad news, a dark figure in the mix of things, no doubt some foreshadowing for the next ep. Not a bad show, a different kind of cute than SpyXFam, a more realistic child and far bloodier action. I kinda like it. |
| Liked this episode more than the first. - "How annoying do you want the kid to be?" - Author: "yes!" The fact this girl took the train on her own, walked across the city from day to night and found the exact hotel without getting herself killed is indeed a miracle and an asspull of universal proportions. P.S Bullet dodging puts Lycoris Recoil to shame. |
| Darker spy themes meshed with comedy antics mainly thanks to Miri... It's a combination that shouldn't work, but somehow it does and I'm glad for it. =) As with Anya from Spy X Family, Miri's expressions in this episode were plentiful and hilarious. Some will find her constantly annoying, but as she's only a four year old kid, that type pf personality isn't uncommon. It won't stop some people saying their bad takes about her, though. =( Aside from that, the action scenes are very enjoyable and I really like the OP song even more, now paired with a nicely produced animation for it. The ED still shots with Miri modelling many outfits was very cute, with the ED song itself being very chill and nice. The guy at the end, who finished the mission that Kazuki and Rei didn't complete, looks to be ruthless as hell. It'll be interesting to see what he'll do next and if he'll become an obstacle for Kazuki and Rei eventually... |
| That was disappointing. Miri is way too energetic and loud, not at all what a child is like. More annoying is her involvement in every aspect of the show and how she overtakes the more serious aspects of the show. Spy x Family is more balanced in that regard. I hope it will improve. |
 |
| at least anya was likeable, miri's just annoying tbh. of course it's not out of line for a four yearold to be acting childish but it doesn't make the family dynamic enjoyable for viewers. i do agree it's realistic |
there's a meaning to that  |
| As expected from your typical 4 year old, Miri is just a mess to deal with. |
Kek |
| Kids get a free pass the first time, so I'll look the other way. Though honestly Rei's reactions throughout summed up this episode for me. Also please don't try that bullet dodging tutorial we just had at home... because that's not how reality works. |
 |
| I had too much anxiety with Miri being left alone for hours and then on such danger, I guess too many people have never interacted with kids to know how much of a wild card they are and if anything Miri is way too well behaved when eating lol. |
| The little kid is such a pain. Just because that's how kids supposed to act doesn't makes it good entertainment. |
| Not gonna lie, this episode was rough.. especially for my poor eardrums. I hope they can course correct, but while watching I kept wishing the show was titled 'Buddy Assassins' instead of 'Buddy Daddies'. They are gonna need a real good excuse for not dumping that kid back with her mom as fast as possible. |
| Not so interesting as I expected. The girl is really annoying. I guess, that's how kids actually are when they don't have telepathy to back them up in the most important moments. I get that this is supposed to be a comedy, and it's kinda messed up, but I would have preferred for her to be a sad little girl with some pitiful backstory... or just, well, less loud and chaotic. |
  |
| Miri, my adorable girl. She's just as chaotic as I thought she'd be and I'm absolutely enjoying it. They finally found out about her mother and looks like they'll try to find her in the next episode. I adore Miri and Papa as well. Rei is too flashy. LOL. The OP and ED are amazing. Looks like people don't understand what a kid is supposed to be. I guess they never acted the same way as her when they were kids. One honest piece of advice, please don't have kids if you can't handle the most basic thing a kid does. Horrible future shitty parents in this thread. |

| I really enjoyed this episode! Makes sense the whims of a child would really get in the way of their job, hopefully next ep they figure out the day care situation lol |
| desu desu binches |
| I just love Rei (no homo) I hate kids |
 |
| Its like some of the people here have never been around a energetic 4 year old child before... Never have kids you guys (You know who you are) |

| Even with its second part which was filled with more slice of life fluff than the first, Spy X Family has raised the bar so high for anime with the "childcare" tag, that for the foreseeable future it will most likely solo and spoil any other anime with the tag that comes after it. Also not EXACTLY what I'd call a "childcare" anime, but Barakamon still holds the title for best kid in all of anime. Naru solo's your favourite kid in anime, even Anya. The girl from Clannad After Story comes close though, as well as the girl from the Yakuza Babysitting anime whatever-its-called. I dropped that one though, the anime as a whole got kind of meh. Anyway, maybe we should actually talk about today's episode of Buddy Daddies. And despite it's clean animation, fun characters and fun premise and what not, I'm still not sold on it. I'm still sitting on the fence, feeling 50/50 about it. Is it because of what I said above, that Spy X Family has spoiled every "childcare" anime that is to come? Or perhaps I'm not alone in thinking that this kid is getting on my nerves.... and looking at everyone else here, looks like some are thinking the same thing. She's nothing special, it would be nice for her to be, but she doesn't have to be. She just has to be serviceable enough as a kid character to check off the "childcare" tag. But the problem isn't that her thunder has been stolen by Anya (although even if Anya didn't exist, I would still think Miri is just whatever), but that she is.... ...irritating. So, how do we fix her from being irritating? There's one simple solution: just have her not interfere with the buddy daddies when they go to work. She doesn't have mind-reading powers, so she doesn't have to ASSIST them by any means and write messages on doors using ketchup saving them from getting blown up. She just simply has to STAY OUT OF THE WAY, so we can see some cool assassination action, and not some goofy chase involving chasing a kid who always has to pee. Oh, having her mess things up will be integral to the plot later on? Ok, I can see that. But I can also see how you could EASILY write your way around that. I mean even as a more turn-your-brain-off kind of show, if all this included in the writing... -Miri being strong enough to flip over a couch -Buddy daddies being professional assassins but still deciding to bring a kid who they know to be a nuisance to an urgent mission -The henchman at the door not noticing the chunky taser in buddy daddy's hat despite being the first line of defense to a highly secure mansion of a highly paranoid man -Buddy daddy not immediately subduing the henchman and getting out with Miri, and instead tries to out-talk a 4-year-old to get out of the situation -Buddy daddy not being able catch a running 4-year-old -Bathtub-bed edgy buddy daddy not shooting the actual target while the target was close to the window -Buddy daddy running in a straight line amidst a flurry of bullet trails and getting out completely unscathed, yeah sit the f*ck down lycoris recoil ...then I'm sure you can write a way in that Miri here is a bit less annoying? Maybe?? Yes Mr. Pre-Cum, that's how a lot of little kids act like. That doesn't change the fact that none of us want to see that sh*t. It's realistic, yes. But I don't think a show that has bullet-time is striving for realism. And even still, having a kid who's NOT utterly annoying can be realistic too, right? This is the kind of show where it seems they were free to brain storm and go absolutely ape-sh*t in the writing room. So why not write in a kid character who's like, likable? |

| the complaints about realism are silly for this anime because it's obviously a comedy. if the humor isn't your style that's perfectly fine but it's not going to be some grimdark hyperrealistic assassin drama with a deep cutting exploration of gun violence trauma in children. even the most hyperactive kid probably wouldn't be laughing and running around in a shootout, it's just SUPPOSED to be played up for comedy, so I don't mind it. I really enjoy all the characters, even if miri is a little annoying at times (that's how kids are), and I'm looking forward to whatever rube goldberg machine-type situation is going to keep miri from going back to her mom in the next episode. the ED was super cute. rei sleeping in the bathtub and smoking under the range hood, MIRI WITH GUN, and kazuki scooping rei up while he's still shooting were highlights for me. so far this show is definitely my favorite that I'm watching this season! (funny enough, the PA Works original last season, Akiba Maid Sensou, was my favorite that time around too) |
| miri can be cute and all but she's a troublesome kid, what is to be expected from a 4 year old. kazuki & rei were brought on a mission to assassinate someone at his mansion but that totally backfired when miri said "papa" to kazuki, and that's how chaos unfolded and someone else needed to clear the job. pretty okay episode, liked the gunfight though. |
  |
| Damn Miri really causing them alot of issues lol. Atleast she is cute tho even when holding a glock.That mission also fould not have gone much worse, luckily the shooters have stormtrooper aim and can't hit anything. That other agent looks menacing as well!! |
 |
| surprised miri didn't sleep earlier from all that running, way too energetic. fun watch tho. rei oji-san came in clutch again. |
