1
00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.170
- It's Isaiah Colbert.

2
00:00:01.170 --> 00:00:03.000
The Otaku of Kotaku.

3
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.650
Viewers, I'm pissed.

4
00:00:04.650 --> 00:00:05.700
Royally pissed.

5
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:06.900
For a long time now,

6
00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:08.850
anime has unabashedly been pedaling

7
00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:12.060
these heteronormative shows
in the hopes of pushing this

8
00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:14.280
procreative agenda

9
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.950
that says we should all
find the perfect waifu

10
00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:21.090
or husbando and create the
perfect nuclear family.

11
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:24.900
It's high time anime
boldly pass us weary otaku

12
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:27.000
some gosh darn boys love.

13
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.890
I'm talking yaoi, folks.

14
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:30.870
And, oh, would you look at that?

15
00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:31.800
We did it, Joe!

16
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.260
Gay Spy x Family is here to save the day.

17
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:36.270
Buddy Daddies is an action comedy series

18
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:37.620
that takes the winning formula

19
00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:41.070
from last year's most
popular anime Spy x Family,

20
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.190
and gives us a buddy cop, no, wait-

21
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:46.020
those are definitely crimes-

22
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:49.590
buddy hitman anime fans
didn't know they needed.

23
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:51.060
While on a mission to unalive

24
00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.430
a lecherous politician on Christmas Day,

25
00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:57.060
the hitman duo of Kazuki
Karusu and Rei Suwa

26
00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.280
end up being the surrogate fathers

27
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.860
to a four-year-old girl named Miri.

28
00:01:01.860 --> 00:01:03.600
Buddy Daddies might be the first anime

29
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.059
to copy the narrative flow of
Spy x Family's wacky premise,

30
00:01:07.059 --> 00:01:09.660
but it differs from last year's hit show

31
00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:11.940
in how the odd couple assassins go about

32
00:01:11.940 --> 00:01:14.250
rearing their rambunctious bundle of joy.

33
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.650
After the pair initiate their plan to pass

34
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:19.590
the kindergarten buck
off to her real mother,

35
00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:22.470
the disaster duo discovered
they might be exactly

36
00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:24.780
what Miri needs in parental figures.

37
00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:27.480
In Rei's case, bonding with Miri gives him

38
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.550
a means of breaking the abusive cycle

39
00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:32.130
his contract killer
father instilled in him.

40
00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:33.750
Buddy Daddies is on the fast track

41
00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:36.030
to becoming the anime
to watch this season.

42
00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:39.540
It's got heart, high
octane action, two dads,

43
00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:44.190
and a hype beast fashionista
in the ever so adorable Miri.

44
00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:45.690

46
00:01:48.930 --> 00:01:50.493
I mean Buddy Daddies.
