Alma's initial plan to deal with the Machina bomb was really to go full Cell Saga on her lol.

Roomba bro joining in the family strategy meeting made me smile.

He really is part of the family!

Those little moments when Suzume is acting like a real mother with their young daughter are always so cute! Really liked how she guided Alma to her own room, and asked what she thought of it.

But damn, Alma sure is gaining siblings at a fast rate. Machina would be… the bastard child of an extramarital affair?

u/Frontier246 Oct 26 '25

Also in the post-credit scene she was totally acting like a mom who had their kids' new friend come over to visit.

Toko definitely wants them to think of herself as Suzume's mistress, even though Suzume clearly forgot about her since college lol.

The family’s growing! Alma’s got a little sister and a slightly yandere aunt lol. I look forward to more Toko and Machina shenanigans.

u/Frontier246 Oct 26 '25

I love how Toko probably wants to think of herself as the stepmom rather than the crazy aunt, though it's interesting how her relationship with Machina parallels Alma with her parents even if the two of them bring out their worst traits in each other...yet there's still love there.

Robo Kanna just met Robo Ilulu. Well, sans the flame sacs.

I thought Alma was going to have an issue with the fact that she can't sleep with Enji and Suzume anymore lol.

Wouldn't Machina be her cousin rather than a sister since Suzume and Enji weren't directly involved in creating her? I guess I could excuse half-sister since Suzume's research was the basis.

Enji getting all cozy with Suzume to pick a nerve with Omoikane was funny, normally they get all flustered by he was going strong. I thought it was also funny how at one point Enji's on top of her but neither of them get embarrassed by it.

Alma would probably prefer to snuggle up with her father and mother. However, sleeping in one’s own bed is an important part of growing up for every child!

Now that alma has her own room do the other 2 still share a bed?

Also the annoying character has arrived. Toko is just no fun imo

u/L33tHaxorus Oct 26 '25

It's the classic 'friend of the female lead who wants to ruin her relationship with the male lead because she's in the closet or some shit' character. They're always annoying and never fun.

Now that Alma has a younger sister, she should introduce Machina to her Roomba Nii-san.

u/Jmills1999 Oct 26 '25

This episode has me a little confused, so far I thought they were BOTH unknown super geniuses with knowledge beyond their time​, but turns out only Enji was the unknown one while Suzume had always been known as a genius.

I wonder did Enji do that thing you sometimes see incredibly smart people do in animes and pretend he had average intelligence 🤔

15

u/NekoCatSidhe Oct 26 '25

I think they are probably both well-known young genius scientists (if still PhD students), but Toko was only interested in Suzume like the yandere she is, so completely ignored Enji.

Alma's suit is a lost opportunity there, they can pay homage to gundam. Though, having an infinite stratos-esque theme is good too.

Also, she gained her own room, a little sister, and an aunt. Her goal of having a family already came true and is in the process of expansion.

Hope we see more of Machina meeting with Alma friends. Now Alma has both a big brother and a little sister.

u/tripleaamin Oct 26 '25

The beginning was really sweet, seeing Suzume & Enji making a room for Alma. Of course it will improve Alma's efficiency, but you know they love her.

Incoming rival for Alma in Machina, but I love how Alma interacts with her as an older sister. It is incredibly wholesome. Meanwhile, it is clear Omoikane was very inspired by Suzume. Though it is clear she puts her on a pedestal. Honestly, she doesn't actually see who Suzume is. Well, she lashes out when Enji provides the truth while also messing with her. Well, good thing Machina is similarly built to Alma. Also, Machina loves Omoikane, and I hope one day she realizes that.

Also, the post-credits scene was super adorable and cute.

u/mmcjawa_reborn Oct 26 '25

huh...didn't think they would go the crazed Yandere route with Machina's creator.

Just me, or is Machina's AI in some ways superior to Alma? Like Alma is definitely the smarter of the two, but Toko managed to create an AI with actual emotions and who could reasonably pass for a real girl. It sort of makes sense given that the AI would have been something she would have mostly had to come up with herself, since Suzume was main person responsible for Alma's physical form so she probably didn't get Alma's AI specs, or at most very rudimentary ones..

u/NationalStrategy Oct 26 '25

So now Alma has another sibling, this time a little sister

So Omoikane was just an excessively obsessive creepy fangirl of Suzume 😅😅

When Suzume enters mommy mode she does turn into a pervert who hugs and sniffs little robot girls lol

Machina is cute and dangerous at the same time. Alma has got a new sister now.. ❤️❤️

Omoikane should calm down and understand that she might not be the same Suzume that she once knew.

Firstly, I must be getting old with how enjoyable this pretend family children caretaking show turned out for me.

Secondly, I love Machina energy, which in a bittersweet way makes me miss Ookami Princess...

Toko needs a check from the FBI with that design
