《SPY×FAMILY Spy × Family》In-depth Analysis: Behind the "Anya Likes This" Meme, What Is She Really Obsessed With?

In the super popular anime work "SPY×FAMILY", the core character Anya Forger, with her rich and varied collection of expressions and amusing inner monologues, quickly captured the hearts of a massive global audience. Among them, a widely circulated internet phrase "Anya likes this" (often paired with related expression packs) is frequently used to describe her adorable appearance when she shows pure joy or a little smugness towards certain things. But what specific preferences of Anya in the original work does this deeply resonant description correspond to? This article will delve into the plot and character settings of "SPY×FAMILY" to analyze the people and things that Anya Forger, the telepathic girl, truly has a special fondness for.

"Anya Likes This": The Origin and True Meaning of the Meme

First, it must be clarified that "Anya likes this" is more like a meme expression derived by the fan community based on Anya's iconic expressions (especially that slightly smug, proud smile). It is widely used to summarize Anya's state when she feels content, happy, or discovers something interesting, rather than being a fixed line she repeatedly says in the original manga or anime targeting a specific thing. Nevertheless, by carefully observing Anya's behavior and reactions in "SPY×FAMILY", we can clearly identify several things she genuinely "likes" and highly values.

The People and Things Anya is Truly Enamored With

The most well-known and most direct embodiment of the "Anya likes this" state is undoubtedly her love for peanuts. Peanuts are not only Anya's favorite snack, but in the early stages of the story, her father Loid Forger (spy codename "Twilight") even used them as a reward to motivate Anya in her studies at Eden Academy or for achieving certain specific goals. Anya's craving for and satisfaction from peanuts have repeatedly become cute and amusing highlights in the plot. Whenever peanuts appear, it seems to bring immense joy and contentment to this little telepath.

Secondly, Anya holds great admiration and passion for the spy-themed cartoon "Spy Wars" and its protagonist "Bondman". This preference not only reflects a child's common yearning for fictional heroes but also forms an interesting and profound contrast and connection with her unique family background—her father is the top spy "Twilight", and her mother is the professional assassin codenamed "Thorn Princess". Anya often imitates the cartoon's plot or interprets real-life events through the lens of "Spy Wars". This romantic imagination and yearning for the spy world are an important part of Anya's unique charm.

However, beyond specific food and entertainment, Anya's most core and profound desire is actually a sense of belonging to "family". Having experienced the pain of being adopted and returned to the orphanage multiple times in the past, Anya deeply cherishes the current, temporarily formed Forger family by Loid and Yor. Although she knows her parents' secret identities and the "Operation Strix" mission they are carrying out through her telepathic ability, she still strives her hardest to play the role of a good daughter, deeply wishing for this "home" to last forever. Therefore, broadly speaking, any event or interaction that helps maintain family harmony, makes her parents (especially her father Loid, whom she tries hard to please) happy, or allows her to feel the warmth of family can be categorized under "Anya likes this". This includes ordinary times spent with her family, receiving affirmation and praise from her parents, and the later addition of a new family member—the precognitive dog "Bond"—all of which make her feel unprecedented happiness and security.

Conclusion: Beyond the Meme, Seeing Anya and the Core Values of SPY×FAMILY

In summary, although the internet catchphrase "Anya likes this" is not Anya's actual catchphrase, it accurately captures the innocent, straightforward, and easily satisfied unique temperament of Anya Forger in "SPY×FAMILY". The emotion it represents is genuinely reflected in Anya's deep affection for peanuts, for the spy cartoon, for her parents and family, and for every warm, everyday moment associated with them. Understanding what Anya truly likes not only allows us to appreciate the infinite charm of this super-powered girl more deeply but also lets us see more clearly the core values about family bonds and sincere emotions that "SPY×FAMILY" gently conveys beneath the interweaving of exciting spy, action, and comedic elements.
