The series composition is written by Yukie Sugawara, whose credits include Overlord and Tougen Anki, while character designs are crafted by Mika Yamamoto, known for her work on Tiger and Bunny The Movie The Rising.

About the Story
Based on the manga written and illustrated by Nanateru, Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family follows the story of Alma, an adorable yet immensely powerful humanoid weapon. Despite her extraordinary strength and machine-like design, Alma possesses the innocence and curiosity of a child. When she begins living with the two eccentric scientists who created her, she experiences life in a way she never imagined—asking blunt, funny, and sometimes emotional questions about human behavior, love, and what it truly means to be part of a family.
The original manga ran on Kadokawa Shoten’s Comic Newtype website from July 2021 to February 2024. Due to its popularity, a sequel titled Alma-chan Wants to Have a Family Z began serialization in July 2024, continuing Alma’s journey toward understanding human emotions and family bonds.
What to Expect
The anime blends science fiction, comedy, and slice-of-life storytelling into one heartwarming narrative. It’s a story that balances emotional moments with humor, exploring themes of identity, empathy, and connection. With a strong creative team, detailed animation, and endearing characters, Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family aims to deliver a wholesome viewing experience when it debuts this weekend.
