At its core, Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family! explores a profound quest for belonging.

The series boasts a stellar production team, with Studio Flad, known for their work on Banished from the Hero’s Party, leading the animation. Kōsuke Kobayashi is at the helm as series director, with valuable assistance from Reiko Nozaki. Yukie Sugawara is handling the intricate series composition, while Mika Yamamoto is crafting the character designs, ensuring a visually stunning and narratively rich experience for viewers. Adding to the immersive atmosphere, the opening theme song, 'Dramatic Overlay,' performed by the talented ZAQ, is poised to perfectly complement Alma-chan’s adventures.

Bringing these beloved characters to life is an exceptional voice cast. Hika Tsukishiro lends her voice to Alma, Ryota Suzuki portrays Enji Kamisato, and M·A·O takes on the role of Suzume Yobane. They are joined by Rika Nagae as Makina and Hinaki Yano as Neon, forming an ensemble dedicated to delivering powerful and memorable performances.

Based on Nanateru’s manga, which captivated readers on Kadokawa Shoten’s Comic Newtype website from 2021 to 2024, and continuing with its sequel Alma-chan Wants to Have a Family Z, this anime adaptation is eagerly awaited. It promises to faithfully translate the beloved story to the screen, expanding its reach and touching hearts across a global audience with its poignant themes of identity and family.
