The teaser also revealed the anime’s three main voice cast members.
Hika Tsukishiro (Chika Suzugamori in Zatsu Tabi: That’s Journey) will voice the title character, Alma, who is a powerful weapon in the shape of a girl. The AI was created by Enji and the body by Suzume. She looks exactly like a human girl and has a high learning ability and excellent physical strength. She recognizes Enji and Suzume as her parents, and continues to grow day by day surrounded by her friends.
Hika Tsukishiro also provided the following message:
I’ll be playing the role of Alma! I am Hika Tsukishiro! I am very happy to be able to play the role, as I have been completely fascinated by the warm world and the cute characters ever since I received the audition materials! I will do my best to convey the world of Alma-chan that I was fascinated by in the anime to everyone, so please look forward to the broadcast of the anime!

Ryota Suzuki (Morihito Otogi in WITCH WATCH) voices Enji Kamisato. He is a scientist who created Alma, and a young prodigy who is attracting attention as an expert in AI physics. Alma calls him “Father.” He is a logical person who likes to be cool, but he also has a caring side. On the other hand, he is not very affected by the presence of women.
Ryoya Suzuki provided the following message:
I will be the voice of Einji Kamisato, who wants to look cool, competitive. I am happy to be involved in this fun character and work. This work is sometimes funny and sometimes heartwarming as Alma, a girl-type weapon, and two genius scientists gradually become a family as they spend their days together, so please look forward to it!

MAO (Kirika Kokuryu in TRILLION GAME) voices Suzume Yohane. She is also a scientist who created Alma. She is a brilliant woman in the engineering world who loves cute things and robots. Alma calls her “Mother.” She is good-looking and has a rather girly personality. She is also moody and does not do anything that she is not interested in. Her cooking skills are also “catastrophic.”
MAO provided the following message:
I’m MAO, and I will be playing the role of Suzume Yohane. Suzume is a cool-beauty genius scientist, but I found the gap between her outward appearance and her inner feelings of deep love toward Alma-chan to be very charming! I hope you will watch not only Alma-chan’s cuteness, but also the slapstick of Enji-san and Suzume-san’s almost complete lack of interest in the opposite sex, and their daily life as a “family” of three.
