On top of that, the studio made the decision The pacing and direction of this show were just awful.Įven if you take out the adaptation aspect, it’s painfully obvious that the show breezes over important details and omits content. Given it was studio Feel, I was always apprehensive about the Spyroom adaptation and had my doubts, but I tried to be as optimistic as possible. Spyroom is sadly yet another example of a really good Light Novel series that gets a subpar anime adaptation intended to push sales of the source material, rather than actually doing the story justice. A shame, really, since I heard good things about the light novels, and even though I haven’t read them, they probably didn’t do them justice at all. Even the stacked cast of voice actors couldn’t save this. With better pacing, this show could have been a little better, but not by much. Even so, the writing in general was not great, to put it lightly, and relied too much on shock value and fan service to keep the audience engaged. It showed its hand way too early, simple as that. Overall, while having an acceptable second half, the first arc’s structure just killed it entirely in my opinion. ![]() As for the music, the soundtrack wasn’t all that special, but the OP and EDs were probably one of the more well done and creative aspects in the entire show. The animation and designs are alright, not anything special, but not bad either. I suppose some of them got better in the second half, but it’s just faint praise, really. It just feels like extremely lazy writing, when the writer ran out of ideas, so maybe they thought a bit of fan service will satisfy the viewers instead. A little perverseness doesn’t doom a show at all, but for this show, it really obstructed the plot and character development. A lot of them felt overly sexualized, and it felt like being horny was their only attribute. I can barely remember all their names to be honest. The characters were all very gimmicky, and lacked real personality or growth in general. It lacks an identity, it’s not funny like Spy X Family, and it certainly isn’t Assassination Classroom either, so what is it really? I don’t know if I have an answer. It also relies way too heavily or plot twists and shock value, which is not the best formula. They were just simple and extremely contrived short missions with irrelevant villains that just were there to get killed. The spy missions themselves weren’t all that great either, especially in the first half. At first, they seemed like a disoriented bunch of fools not knowing what to do, and at the outset, the plot was revolving around the girls attempting to kill Klaus, which in the end, really went nowhere, and got repetitive very quickly. The show revolves around a spy group called Team Lamplight, a group of seven (?) girls, and their teacher, Klaus. Without this poor structure in the first arc, I would definitely have enjoyed It had the makings for a decent series, but the adaptation of the first volume of the light novel (first seven episodes) was just baffling, because they showed all their cards in Episode 3, and they did flashbacks for character development after the supposed climax, which felt so out of place. ![]() The first three episodes basically doomed it, and even though the second half was comparatively better, my interest had already waned too much. This show had the potential to be decent, but ended up being the massive disappointment of the season. Although skeptical, the girls eventually agree to work together under Klaus' guidance-as this might be their only chance to prove their worth as spies. A mysterious man named Klaus soon appears and reveals they must complete an "Impossible Mission": to infiltrate the Galgad Empire after just one month of training. Upon arriving at her destination, Lily is surprised to find six other girls waiting there, all of whom have faced their own academic difficulties as well. ![]() Lily's passion is reignited when she is offered provisional graduation by joining the spy team Lamplight, which she eagerly accepts despite the enigmatic nature of the opportunity. However, she begins to doubt her abilities, as she struggles to perform well academically. In the Din Republic, Lily is an enthusiastic young girl who aspires to become a spy and serve her nation. To avoid another catastrophe, governments worldwide have resorted to espionage to fulfill their agendas. A decade ago, mankind witnessed the deadly potential of weapons caused by the Great War.
