Oshimeter
Synopsis
After being dismissed by their former colleagues, a pair of rival scientists build an advanced combat robot, and the robot decides they should be her parents. Alma is an autonomous, self-learning AI created by Enji Kamisato and Suzume Yobane, two geniuses who work together brilliantly but can barely stand each other outside the lab. They built Alma to prove their talents to the world after being dismissed by former colleagues. The problem is, Alma learns fast. She observes their dynamic, concludes they're her mom and dad, and then hacks official records to register them as a married couple. Now Enji and Suzume are stuck living together, raising a robot daughter who genuinely wants them to be a family, while they can't even agree on what to have for dinner. The comedy here comes from the contrast: cutting-edge sci-fi premise, deeply mundane domestic chaos. Alma's earnest attempts to push her "parents" closer together give the show a warmth that sneaks up on you between the bickering and the awkward cohabitation bits. If you liked the emotional human-AI relationships in Plastic Memories or Chobits but want something lighter and more comedic, this hits a nice sweet spot. The romance builds slowly through forced proximity, which works well across the 11-episode run from Studio Flad. It's a cozy watch, the kind of found-family story where the family was literally engineered, and somehow that makes it more endearing.

kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★VerifiedEP 11This episode presents the reality of absentee parents and its effect on children. However, it also shows how Alma has grown as she navigates through negative emotions. On the other hand, Suzume and Enji display growth as parents and progress a little in their relationship as well. It neatly concludes as a family episode.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10The first part of the episode is quite similar to the story formula of Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It. It showed great progress in the relationship between Suzume and Enji as well. The second part was quite messy but it at least succeeded in delivering the current state of the world with regards to content creation and making it big, albeit in a comedic and exaggerated way.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9This is like a montage of staple summer actvities that are typically shown in anime. It also feels like they are putting things together just to complete a whole series worth of episodes. The content has become less entertaining compared to the first few episodes.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8The situation of Alma's kidnapper at first is relatable. It's not easy to get a job. Similar to how Neon gave her judgement of him based on the interview, employers in reality judge each applicant like that as well. Even if there are a lot of job openings, people are often not enough or not fit even if they apply. It's a sad reality. Although he got a job eventually, not everyone is given that chance.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7Both Enji and Alma had a lot on their plates. Their family worked out a solution for both situations. One could be juggling a lot of things in real life too, which is why this episode serves as a reminder that relaxing is important too. Take breaks and learn to ask for help when needed.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6It seems like Alma has forgotten what Enji said about keeping her identity a secret. She just went and fought a huge robot in front of a crowd without any restraint. It's pretty inconsistent. Alma S-Type was cute though. Enji admitting he was worried really shows his character growth.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5The two annoying characters have become less annoying. The idea about AI generated work is a sad truth. Rather than creating art and thinking for ourselves, people are relying on AI.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★VerifiedEP 4New characters are introduced here and both of them are the troublesome kind. One is like Sawada in Horimiya; she has an extreme attachment to Suzume and has her own image of Suzume that is kind of far from reality. The other is like Inosuke; she's pretty much an idiot and takes things literally without thinking too much about it. It was hard watching this episode because of them.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★VerifiedEP 3Alma's growth is following the same pattern as a human, with her now going to school and being with friends. Although there's progress in Enji and Suzume's relationship, it's still not enough to make themselves more honest with their feelings. However, it's safe to say that their family has grown closer. The two of them are now more inclined as Alma's parents.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★VerifiedEP 2The character design of Suzume is a little bit similar to Yor's design from Spy x Family. Suzume learning how to cook from Alma is the opposite of their assumed roles in their family. It was still a cute scene though. The relationship of Enji and Suzume is developing. The introduction of Enji's sister, Toki, could potentially lead to progress in their relationship as well.
kuchikiandkuchiki★★★★★VerifiedEP 1This is a cute and wholesome anime. It's a different take from the usual android and AI anime shows which are more serious in tone. The first scenes kind of resemble Origami's battle scenes from Date A Live.
momarah★★★★★EP 11Jujur agak kaget di awal tapi AAAAAA AKHIRNYA SELESAI JUGA. Asli, ini bakal jadi anime yang BIKIN AKU GAGAL MOVE ON SOALNYA SEBAGUS ITU???? Huhuuhuhuhuhu bakal kangen sama Alma dan kebokemannya itu. HIKS NGETIK INI AJA UDAH NANGIS AAAAAA TOLONG SEASON 2-NYAAAA!!!
momarah★★★★★VerifiedEP 10Seru banget kalo liat aktivitas yang dijalanin Alma tuh. Dan senangnya lagi, dia tuh suka belajar hal baru (walau itu buat kebutuhan database-nya sih). Tapi lihat dia yang excited kalau ada hal yang baru tuh bikin dia makin gemesin.
momarah★★★★★EP 9Masih belum terbiasa liat wujud Alma yang lain tapi tetap masih lucu. Stecunya Alma itu lhoooo yang jadi daya tariknya dia!
momarah★★★★★VerifiedEP 8Lagi-lagi Alma dan 19 juta lapangan pekerjaannya. Selalu lucu kalau lihat Alma beraksi dengan teman-temannya. Suka banget kalo Alma udah nunjukkin kepintarannya.
momarah★★★★★VerifiedEP 7AAAAAAA ketemu karakter baru lagi! Aku jadi keinget (lupa di episode 4 atau 5) tapi ada bahas tentang mangaka yang pake AI (Alma). Trus kayak merasa relate banget sama keadaan sekarang karena semua orang pake AI, bahkan udah mulai susah untuk dibedakan mana yang AI mana yang bukan. Tapi di episode ini nunjukkin kalau AI tuh bisa banget jadi alat bantu untuk penunjang pembelajaran selama memang tujuannya jelas dan sasarannya tepat.
momarah★★★★★VerifiedEP 6Lucu banget lihat gimana effort-nya Alma di episode ini. Tapi masih gemas dengan gimana polosnya Alma walaupun dia seorang robot tapi beneran deh polos banget!
