(TV) Source: Manga (ongoing @ 4 volumes by Nanateru) Demographic: Animation Studio: Studio Flad Genres: comedy, romance, science fiction Themes: androids, artificial intelligence, child care, family, robots, social commentary, social psychology, technology Plot Summary: Alma, an autonomous self-learning robot with advanced combat capabilities, was created by two genius scientists, Enji Kamisato and Suzume Yobane, who developed Alma's artificial intelligence and robotics, respectively. After being mocked by their former acquaintances, the duo have worked together in order to show the world their true talents. But even though they cooperate in their work, the two scientists cannot seem to get along in their personal lives. However, despite their constant bickering, Enji and Suzume develop a glint of mutual affection—feelings that do not go unnoticed by their adorable robotic creation. Now curious, Alma starts to question the true nature of her creators' relationship. As she learns more about humanity from those around her, Alma's bonds with Enji and Suzume only grow stronger.

Don't know much about this beyond that brief summary but I'm interested. Guess I should throw myself a trailer party soon.

Cute show, obvious comparisons to Spy x Family, though the main character reminds me a lot of Kanna from Miss Koboyashi's Dragon Maid.
I say this if Alma had to get stella stars, she would get them easily. |

Okay, this show is about an android/AI with the form and identity of a young girl, who is likely quite dangerous. She ships her parents who happen to be her father that is an emotionally closed off guy who made her AI and her mother is a much more smitten woman who created/designed her "body". I think even vocals makes me think of it, because there are some mighty coincidental similarities with Neuro-sama.

I liked this more than I expected...not that I thought it would be low quality (or high or mid quality...I was clueless in that regard) it just didn't seem like my sort of thing. But I found the bits where the "parents" alternated between mad scientists and clueless lovebirds with little or no EQ entertaining. I don't know if I'll stick with this...it depends on how creative it gets to avoid being formulaic...but I thought the premiere was good.

If we are going to continue the Spy x Family comparison, Toki beats Yuri by a mile as far as being a normal person, having a normal relationship with your sibling, and just not being a creep, Toki rules, she is not a creep.
Anyway Alma chased her around a vacuum cleaner, she was a like a cat, so cute. |

So, did anyone else have subtitles disappear for 4 minutes approximately 11 minutes in?
(Sorry, I should say this is episode 3. I reported it to Crunchyroll.) |

Yay you are not alone. 4 minutes of the episode you just have to know Japanese.

Well this episode we have the true Yuri comparison character. Though she is not a blood relative, so that is a win. Still annoying. But outside of that, this episode was what I want, just more adorableness. |

It's getting harder and harder to find new episodes of things on Crunchyroll. The "New" tab at the top became useless earlier this season. Now even the new releases you see when you scroll down don't include this show. You have to go to the release calendar to find it (or search it directly).

So we are just abandoning the keep Alma is a robot secret plot. Before she was just bad at it, now she is not even trying. So it is not similar to Spy x Family anymore.
I have a prediction, I think this new maid character is a robot. That is my prediction. Anyway this show continues to be adorable. |

Is there any reason why this show isn't listed in the "Watch & Rate the Latest Episode" feature on the front page of the site?
