Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai Episode 1 Discussion

I haven't watched Spy x Family (actually I did watch the first episode or two but never got into continuing with it) which others have saying serves as the closest point of comparison to this.

But from among series I've completed the closest thing this reminds me of is Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai from last summer season (summer of 2024), except with the romance being less of the primary/nearly sole focus and focusing instead on the cobbled together family dynamic as a whole, which Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjou ga Nai did to an extent at a later point.

I don't know if I'll end up caring for this one as much as that since in that one of the romantic couple (the wife) was the robot rather than solely the child, so it was also a transgressive romance, which is my prime wheelhouse. But I can regardless easily see it being one of the series I stick with throughout the autumn season. Romcom Slice of Life with a Sci-Fi angle can work.
