💖 Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! (2025): When a Super AI Calls You "Mom and Dad" – Coming Soon to Crunchyroll!

"Initiating protocol: snuggles, snacks… and simulated emotions!"

Get ready to laugh, cry, and question the line between AI and affection, because Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! is coming to Crunchyroll in 2025! This brand-new anime blends sci-fi tech, heartfelt comedy, and found family feels in the most chaotic and wholesome way imaginable.

Born from manga creator Nanateru, Alma-chan is no ordinary girl. She’s a hyper-intelligent, battle-capable AI in the body of a child, with the emotional drive of a curious toddler who just wants… a family.

🧬 Meet Alma: The Deadliest Sweetheart on Earth

“Father! Mother! Is this what love feels like?”

She’s cute. She’s curious. She’s capable of destroying tanks with a single punch. Alma-chan, the latest experimental AI, was created by two brilliant but overlooked scientists: the shy genius Enji Kamisato and the sassy, strong-willed Suzume Yobane.

When Alma starts calling them “Father” and “Mother,” the two are thrown into a whirlwind of awkward parenting moments, emotional confusion, and unexpected warmth. Alma may have superhuman combat abilities, but what she really wants is bedtime stories, breakfast pancakes, and family hugs.

👨‍👩‍👧 The (Very Dysfunctional) Found Family

This isn’t your typical parenting anime. Enji and Suzume never expected to become mom and dad to a child weapon with infinite energy and a thirst for emotional growth. From near-destruction of the furniture to nuclear-level temper tantrums, Alma’s daily life is anything but ordinary.

Yet, through the chaos, something very human starts to bloom.

"Alma, why did you override the missile guidance system?""Because family comes first!"

Aww. Terrifying—but sweet.
