Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai

Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family is a wholesome comedy/romance anime about two scientists developing an AI powered robot with insane capabilities that takes the form of a young child. We follow Alma as she does normal kid stuff like go to school and make friends all the while being in the body of a robot. This naturally creates a divide between her and her school-mates as Alma doesn’t always understand them which paves way for some funny shenanigans to ensue. Additionally, Alma is designed and raised by her father Kamisato Enji and her mother Yobane Suzume to be helpful to society. It’s Alma’s altruismand good-nature that get her into funny situations that the humor builds itself around. Finally, interactions with side characters (who I’ll get into later) and her parents and their relationship is another key focus of the humor in the anime. If I compared it to another anime, I’d say that Alma’s family resembles Anya’s family in Spy x Family (hey they even have similar names). Both have cute daughter characters inside of a fake family that slowly takes shape into feeling natural (hell Suzume even looks like Yor if you squint hard enough). And like in Spy x Family, there’s a lot of humor surrounding a potential romance between the fake father and fake mother. The characters are all basic and reused archetypes. For example Enji’s sister Toki is the caring sister, Makina is the competitive little sister, Tokoyo is the senpai obsessed kouhai, and there are many more. If you know me personally, you know I’m a big sucker for good character writing so usually these archetype characters would lower my score, however, I’m generally very permissive when it comes to character depth in a comedy since the focus is more so on the jokes and character interactions rather than actual depth of character. That’s why despite all the characters being basically rehashed characters from other anime I still hold high esteem for this anime. Alma and her parents hold slightly more depth with us actually knowing about their dreams to be accepted as scientists and because of the romantic tension going on between them. Now that I think about it, Makina does slightly change, maybe a tiny bit. I won’t spoil that though. I’m not a huge connoisseur of either animation or music so my opinions on them might be skewed. First and foremost, the art style is very cute and fitting for a comedy anime. I don’t notice any animation errors in it either, so for me it checks all boxes. The music is pretty chill I guess. It’s somewhat forgettable since I’m squinting my brain and the only thing coming out is the OP and ED, which speaking of them, they were bangers. The ED gives me this feeling of belonging that warms my heart up. Overall, I really liked the premise, I found it very interesting. The characters weren’t super fleshed out or really that unique but it worked for a comedy anime and I enjoyed them regardless of their lack of depth. The humor is pretty funny, Alma’s helpful nature gets her involved in a lot of situations and with a lot of people she otherwise wouldn’t interact with. This is a good thing because it broadens the world the anime is in and we aren’t confined to just Alma’s family which would get boring eventually. I really liked this one 10 Makina heads out of 10. Welp, this is my first review I’m posting. I really hope I did it right and I hope you enjoyed reading it too. Thanks for stopping by :D

Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! An illogical, dumb and wierdly wholesome anime ! Well the words I used above might seem to be not in favour of the anime but do read the last word i mentioned above again " wholesome " the anime had the first few 2-3 episodes which made me feel like ' Ok so this is a mecha/sci-fi anime but then the human emotions thing and parents daughter thing somewhere gave me " Plastic memories " vibe for some part as I thought of the fact about what will happen after the parents ( scientists ) will die but soon enough Irealised nope the anime won't be going to that path, well after that the anime went kinda *BERSERK* with the wildest illogical plots " an elementry school girl who's incharge of millions of dollars worth businesses of her parents and can spend infinite amout of cash " " going to space and getting stuck with your so called imouto( little sister ) " and so on. But the way the story wraps up could be said a good closure for an anime which might not get a sequel in the near future any time soon atleast that is ! Welp the show was good we don't get anime of this genre alot these days so its fun to have an anime like " Alma chan wants to be a family " once in a while .

Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai is a wonderful, light-hearted comedy anime about two nerds "playing house" with their super-advanced WMD robot. The show follows the nonsensical daily lives of the humanoid AI, Alma, and her creators, offering viewers tons of cute and funny moments with a colorful cast of characters. The main premise centers on two genius scientists, Enji and Suzume, who have been ostracized from the scientific community and work together to create the most advanced robot/weapon/AI in the world: Alma. Naturally, they get formally married and raise this robot like a daughter to help her AI develop. While there are mentions of romance betweenEnji and Suzume, don't be fooled by the tags here; there's like zero romance in the show. Instead, I'd describe it as a SoL comedy. Each episode consists of multiple skits featuring Alma doing new, often extremely bizarre, things. Really, the show was so goofy and out-there that I found it really funny, though I can see why it might not be for everyone. Not much happens story-wise since there wasn't any conflict to begin with, but because it’s a comedy, that doesn't really matter. The episodes go by quickly as they are composed of two to four short skits each. Overall, the pacing is solid; instead of relying on meaningless filler, the show simply moves to the next skit, giving viewers a constant barrage of insane plotlines. There isn't too much to say about the characters. The main trio consists of the aforementioned Enji, Suzume, and Alma. Enji and Suzume can be viewed as a "tsundere x tsundere" couple (even if they technically aren't one), and Alma is a standard kuudere child-robot. The side cast is fleshed out with several characters who make minor appearances throughout the show. Most notably Machina, who serves as Alma’s robot friend and rival. While the characters aren't deeply developed and mostly fit specific archetypes, the show uses those archetypes effectively to enhance the comedy, so they never feel boring or overly trope-heavy. The art is fairly basic. It was clearly made on a budget, but that didn't stop it from looking clean and put-together. While the character designs are above average, if you look closely, you can see where corners were cut regarding animation and background design, though it’s not a big deal. Similarly, the soundtrack fills the silence but is quite unmemorable. At the very least, it's there and didn't bother me, so I’ll give it props for that; in my opinion, it’s better to have a soundtrack than to leave things quiet. Furthermore, the voice acting was "standard-good". It didn't amaze me, but it maintained a high standard throughout. As for my personal enjoyment, I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I came into this expecting an unfunny romcom similar to its counterparts Lil' Miss Vampire and Mechanical Marie this season. However, the humor in Alma-chan was actually funny, and I found it constantly engaging due to the absurd things happening on screen. It is truly a great, easy watch. In conclusion, Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai was a pleasant surprise and is one of this season's hidden gems. However, I want to make it clear that this show isn't for everyone. First of all, it is completely mislabeled here on MAL; in my opinion, it isn't a romance, and the description does little to prepare the viewer for what it’s actually about. I can imagine people being misled. However, if you are looking for a light-hearted comedy, I definitely recommend this. In the end, while it isn't necessarily special or memorable, it gets the job done. I’m happy I watched it, but I’ll leave it at that; I probably won’t be reading the manga or rewatching it in the future.

Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! - Hey, it's RikeKoi all over again...plus an autonomous android for a kid figure? Even as adults, I can't help but feel like there is the kid figure within us trying to concoct something that reminds us of our childhood days, and for one of those "make-believe" dreams that "the future belongs to the past," reality is ever not so keen on reminding us that it takes pangs of torture to create things that are wholly our own. In an alternate world, that's certainly the fantasy of mangaka Nanateru and his/her rather short series of Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritaia.k.a. Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family!, a sci-fi rom-com about an eccentric pair of scientists developing quite the AI robot of their own, unbeknownst to how the robot would treat them as its parents. The power to make anything one desires—that's the life of a long-lasting scientist to grow both brains and brawn. This is the story of the genius scientists Enji Kamisato and Suzume Yobane creating their autonomous android named Alma, who resembles the look of an elementary school girl with Amazon Alexa Echo Dots for ears (since she's built to be an AI learning machine). And almost overnight, from their "rise to fame" from being "professionally" mocked by their peers to downright making their AI project work despite their being at loggerheads with each other, one android's learning curve to put both Enji and Suzume together as her "parents," seemingly so to bond all 3 entities together as a pseudo-family, truly is a heartwarming feature. The reason why I even mentioned that this sounds strikingly similar to Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei shitemita a.k.a. Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It, is more than just the explanation of the concept of love through scientific means; it's also because of its adult-casted rom-com themes in general. Scientists have too much time on their hands doing what they want to do, all except contemplate about love and romance, which is what Nanateru hopes to combine its sci-fi themes with a hinge of rom-com, which I feel is actually kind of simple but ingenious. Enji and Suzume being very similar to Shinya Yukimura and Ayame Himuro, respectively, they're go-getter scientists proud of their research and what they do, just only at an individual level and not exactly on a group consensus. Alas, the two being bonded together thanks to Alma treating them both as her parent figures, the romantic "allegations" between Enji and Suzume are not likely to go away anytime soon, not with the other characters around them that are being influenced by them. One of them is Tokoyo Omoikane, one of Suzume's juniors being in the same autonomous research field as her, alongside yet another android of Makina that serves as one of the former's leftover projects that the junior contends with developing in her time. Even in school, as Alma's AI learning gets better over time, the loner student of Hana Yashiki, whom the android befriends after a chance encounter, finds it's better to have friends than to be alone, and the fact that the kids become friends instantly, too, is a relief for the better. Just about everything in the show is light-hearted and absolutely heartwarming to watch, which makes for good value. The simple production is proven from the talents at the rather small Studio Flad, of which this is only the 4th show in close to 8 years since the studio's beginnings with Winter 2018's Dame x Prince Anime Caravan. I'm actually OK with a low-risk, decent-reward feature expected from the studio, even if the series adapted are either not high-profile or just discovering anime form for the very first time. A decent production on a low budget, that's for certain. The OST is nothing to write home about, as it's composed on a relatively simple scale, just like the show itself. What surprises me is after much of the rock fest that ZAQ has delivered, having a rather decent cutesy OP that's composed together with Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund, this side of ZAQ is one I'm just beginning to know for the first time, and it's such a weird feeling that I just don't know how to put it into words. But while it's strange on one side, it's not for the other, as KAF songs tend to range from decent to good, with her ED here being serviceable and fine. If you desire weird themes coming from a relatively sweet product that's easily enjoyable as it comes, Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai a.k.a. Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! is a solid choice that, while it will not win any awards, simplicity is best presented on a small scale that doesn't warrant it being bad, especially one that has both a childcare and a love status quotation theme to it in the first place. Give this one a try, it might surprise you.
