ok controversial opinion but. although spy x family and buddy daddies appear to have a lot in common (traumatized hitmen acquire a child etc etc) i really don’t think they should be compared. yor & loid, despite rushing into a marriage of convenience, are both pretty decently equipped to act as parental figures despite their unconventional backgrounds. yor has the experience of practically raising yuri from a very young age, and loid’s jack-of-all-trades spy career and general hyper competent personality means they’re able to handle anya and the whole sudden family situation better than your average single, childless, late-20s(?) adult. of course they still face a lot of bumps in the road/have a lot to learn, but what they do know from their respective lives and occupations definitely helps, and let’s not forget that anya is a whole telepath. 

kazuki and rei, on the other hand, have absolutely ZERO parental qualifications. it’s pretty obvious both of them have lived through their fair share of tragedy, with kazuki and his presumed dead wife and rei and his brutal childhood, but they’re also just. really messy people individually. kazuki is shown to regularly hang around gambling houses/the red light district and rei is a wet sock of a man when not in uniform. miri is your typical 4 year old: wildly energetic, no filter, constantly making a mess, requires attention at all times, and so on. unlike anya, she cannot read the minds of those around her, which means the only way she knows how to “help” her papas is by unhelpfully inserting herself into whatever tasks they’re trying to complete (and if you’ve been around small children, this is super typical behavior). she means well but she often inconveniences rei and kazuki’s already precarious lifestyle. and frankly, that pretty much sums up the early years of parenthood. 

kids are a lot of work. raising a child, even when you’re a “normal,” well-adjusted adult is really tough. but it’s supposed to be fulfilling, and it’s supposed to be something that parents view as “worth it.” we can’t really blame miri’s mom for resenting her so much when she never wanted to be a mom in the first place (and it’s clear she’s not suited to it, either). kazuki’s argument with miri’s mom demonstrates that his concept of parenthood is pretty idealistic, although not incorrect. kazuki may like the idea of protecting a child’s happiness, but he doesn’t realize the difficulty of the logistics involved, which we see in the daycare episode. we also see in the daycare episode that rei has no clue what a traditional childhood looks like. it’s implied he never went to school and doesn’t really understand how children usually act. 

kazuki and rei are arguably much less qualified than yor and loid to be parents, and therefore the buddy daddies family dynamic is going to be way more dysfunctional in a way that viewers may find bordering annoying rather than comically chaotic (i’ve read the crunchyroll comments). the same goes for miri, who is your average run of the mill small child, and not some super kawaii esper. but kazuki and rei are trying their best, in their own ways, and it’s clear that miri is going to brighten up their lives in really touching ways. so buddy daddies is definitely still worth a watch, especially if you already enjoy spy x family, but people should keep in mind that buddy daddies is not the “ripoff” of spy x family i’ve seen people say.

One thing I really wish we had time to expand on in the show is Kazuki’s relationship with Kyu.

Originally, I speculated that in this episode we might see a bit of role reversal from the start of their relationship where Rei would be taking care of Kazuki in the aftermath of their loss. You know who actually filled this role, though?

Kyutaro.

He tells Kazuki, literally, “I’m not comfortable giving you a job that will put you in danger when you’re in this state of mind.” Basically halting those self-destructive impulses in their tracks.

Knowing that Kazuki needs the money, Kyu hands over the funds that Karin refused, which he kept, seemingly for Kazuki if he ever needed.

However, when Kazuki demands he hand it all over at once, Kyutaro refuses, well aware that Kazuki will spend it other self-destructive habits (drinking, gambling) if upset and left to his own devices.

Mom, indeed. This reads to me almost like a older/little brother relationship?

We have no idea how old Kazuki was when he got involved in this business, only that it was before he met/lost Yuzuko, so he was younger than 23. If we assume he was with her for at least a few years, he could’ve still been a teenager (18/19) when he started as a contract killer. Has Kyutaro known him all that time?

He has definitely known Kazuki since Yuzuko, as he was familiar with Karin and knows exactly what happened to his family. Has he watched this same self-destructive spiral happen before? Hence why he’s not comfortable with sending Kazuki out on a dangerous job?

And the fact that when Rei calls Kazuki to warn that Miri is in danger, who does Kazuki immediately turn to for help? Kyutaro.

He checks in with him while driving, too, like hello?? Thank you for acknowledging the wound because yeah, I bet it did hurt like hell when he was shot and someone stuck their finger in the wound.

And this response. Caring enough about protecting Kazuki even when Kazuki himself is already sinking into feelings of guilt and inadequacy.

Anyway, Kyutaro is the hypocrite in this episode because he was the most vocal in saying that you shouldn’t get attached in this sort of business, not unless you’re willing to see it through. Well, guess who was attached long before the series started and is going to see it through now, sir.

#buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #kyutaro kugi #rei suwa #miri unasaka #my one gripe with this episode besides what happened to misaki was the lack of exploration in rei & kazuki’s relationship #but I did at least get some good insight and content into kazuki & kyutaro’s #calling kazuki a failed comedian but also being the one person there for him when everyone else leaves? sibling behavior #where are my fics that give me the kyu & kazuki backstory? #I say as I’m already trying to construct one in my head

Me when the families are found

#specially if they are chaotic found families. my favorite trope #he is her tm dad your honor #miri has two dads but she is the bigger person bet she is THE moment #if anything happens to her suwa kurusu and I will catch hands with people #kurusu #miri #anime #buddy daddies

Ok so I think my favorite part of the Papa Rei arc was that he has really bad memories of a father figure, so he refuses to accept that role for Miri, yes - but when Miri redefines the meaning of that type of relationship the word she uses is Papa.

Why is that relevant? Because later the cops ask him is he’s her father first and he says no. What does he tells them instead? He says “I’m her Papa”

Poetic. Fucking. Cinema.

#Rei is not her father he is not her dad #he is the person who will save her from danger and according to Miri that’s a Papa #crying about it #this show found families so hard it’s beautiful #they really said a father is nothing being a father is meaningless #choosing to be a Papa though? Choosing to save someone?? Everything. #also the fact that Miri KNOWS they are her found family? that she doesn’t think either of them are related to her at all??? BEAUTIFUL #god I love this show #suwa rei #buddy daddies #buddy daddies spoilers

#Thank you for the reblogs and 💕 folks !! #Also I don’t hate Miri ! just I’m not a kid’s person- i’m not good with kids and kids’ voices and screams are too much for me to handle #She’s a nice child overall #She’s pretty indulgent regarding kazurei’s abilities in the family department #And the plot is literally kazurei growing and changing while caring for her #So it’s very cute #I want more kazurei ; more interactions ; more « partners » moments #buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #rei suwa #bd #fanart

Find it annoying how people use Rhaenyra saying “how romantic it must be to be imprisoned in a castle and made to squeeze out heirs” to frame her as cruel and unsympathetic to Alicent, even though Rhaenyra immediately apologizes when she realizes she’s hurt Alicent’s feelings (and also when people ignore that this is also Rhaenyra’s future)

#will especially never understand rhaenicent shippers doing this #so many of them seem to just outright hate rhaenyra and idgi #personally i could never invest that much time and energy into a ship where i hate one of the characters #rhaenyra targaryen #hotd #asoiaf #miri’s thoughts

very much having a crisis right now

that is connected to trying to figure out health insurance but is also about how i litearlly dont know what im living for right now its all very go here do that go to work go home and with nothing really tangible to look forward to or feel like i’m here for. i do not have very many friends or a robust social life and most of what i do have is not permanent/people are leaving, etc, and work acquaintances leaving too or im scheduled away from them now and like literally what am i alive for

and then if the money i am making, which previously i was at least trying to save a little of or wasn’t thinking about it in this way, is just going towards KEEPING me alive then why. for what

OMG! They uploaded a story on Kazuki’s Instagram Account!

Japanese: 娘にカレシとか、いつぐらいから覚悟しておくべきなんですかね…。

English: About when should I start preparing for my daughter having boyfriends and stuff...?

Since there are a number of answers, I won’t be providing the Japanese, just the English translation. I’ll also be going from left to right, from top to bottom.

1. I think it’s best to start preparing for things like that when she is around her junior high and high school years...

2. Kids these days start [dating] around elementary school age now..

3. Miri is cute, so you better start prepping right now‼️ ‼️ ‼️

4. Kids these days move fast, so you better start preparing for that around the age of 4!

5. Maybe around upper elementary school age... 🤔💭 

6. Since Miri-chan is cute..it seems like she’ll start having BFs around her elementary and junior high school years.

Ieri ho rivisto un film in cui Jane Fonda interpreta un personaggio che, tra le altre cose, è una nonna; e mi ha ricordato la mia, che è stata una magnifica nonna perché non era un’estensione di figli e nipoti, ma una donna compiuta e poliedrica, che insegnava perché era. E ci portava a fare i picnic in montagna, ci teneva a galla senza braccioli, trasformava ogni viaggio in auto in un’avventura, ci ha insegnato a disegnare, a giocare a scopa e briscola, ad amare l’arte in tutte le sue forme, a sbucciare le arance a forma di fiore, a cantare e ballare senza vergogna, a piegare le buste a triangolo, a fare gli origami, a imitare e prendere per il culo tutti, ma senza cattiveria, a provare sempre empatia, a camminare dritti con gli occhi puntati in avanti, a non temere di amare noi stessi.

Tutti dovrebbero avere una nonna modello Jane Fonda, figa da far paura come la mia.

Comic Thor casually referring to Loki as his own blood on multiple occasions... MCU Thor could never

#same energy as Kazuki dismissing that Miri isn’t some amalgamation of his and Rei’s genes #like nah sorry this person is my family this is how a family works <3 #poor Balder doesn’t get this treatment

Got to admit watching Buddy Daddies has been so therapeutic and comforting for me. Watching this show reminded me of my dad so much.

As a child my dad was usually the one who would take care of me and my siblings since mom would go to work. He died due to a car accident when I was ten years old. I miss him so much.

I'm so happy I found this anime.

No no hold on.

This is important to me actually.

The fact that Rei considers this his home, and i don't think he just means the house, i am mostly certain that it includes Kazuki and Miri too.

#Rei thinking of Kazuki and Miri as Home is something that can be so personal to me actually #im so soft at the beginning but i damn well know im probs gonna hurt at the end #episode 7 changed me #i am now a cautious man #if we meet Rei's family i know for sure I'll hate them #buddy daddies #episode 8
