Almachan 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 schoolmates as Alma doesnt 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. Its Almas altruism and goodnature that get her into funny situations that the humor builds itself around. Finally interactions with side characters who Ill 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 Id say that Almas family resembles Anyas 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 theres 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 Enjis 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 Im a big sucker for good character writing so usually these archetype characters would lower my score however Im 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. Thats 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 wont spoil that though. Im 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 dont notice any animation errors in it either so for me it checks all boxes. The music is pretty chill I guess. Its somewhat forgettable since Im 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 werent 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 Almas helpful nature gets her involved in a lot of situations and with a lot of people she otherwise wouldnt interact with. This is a good thing because it broadens the world the anime is in and we arent confined to just Almas family which would get boring eventually. I really liked this one 10 Makina heads out of 10. Welp this is my first review Im posting. I really hope I did it right and I hope you enjoyed reading it too. Thanks for stopping by :D
