    Sweet, Heartwarming and Tense
    I think this show was consistently great, and original animes always have that surprise factor to them. Buddy Daddies was just a very warm, sweet, tense and somewhat emotionally conflicting story. I can't say I'm surprised because I expect a lot from PA. Works, and they always make some unique animes that don't always take the generic route. Akiba Maid War last season is a great example. If you want a comparison with Spy x Family - while they share similarities in their synopsis, I think they have different overall themes, and vibes to them. This show is going for a more heart-warming vibe, while being a somewhat tense story as well.

    I actually really loved Buddy Daddies. All the characters are very likeable and both the main characters have a great character arc to them. The show also always managed to make me smile with all of it's heart-warming family moments. And the biggest compliment I can give it is that none of these moments felt distant or artificial. They always felt natural. The show also becomes very tense towards the end, and I actually couldn't predict what direction are they going to take, given PA Works' history of making unusual stories. This show is also a bit dark. When you think about how this family came to be, it's actually somewhat controversial. But it doesn't do that just for the sake of it, because it did raise some dilemmas that had the viewers divided about what was the right thing for the characters to do. For a show appearing to be a slice-of-life, I was not expecting that. The animation and character designs are gorgeous too.
