Espírito-chan Wants to Be a Family unveiled a key visual and more cast members ahead of the anime’s premiere on October 5. The announcements were made on the anime’s pre-broadcast special livestream held on Saturday. Joining the voice cast are Hikaru Tono, Saku Mizuno, and Sayaka Sembongi.
The voice cast consists of:
- Hika Tsukishiro as Espírito
- Ryota Suzuki as Enji Kamisato
- M・A・O as Suzume Yobane
- Rika Nagae as Makina
- Hinaki Yano as Neon
Studio Flad (Banished from the Hero’s Party) is animating the series with Yasuhiro Minami (Raven of the Inner Palace episode director) as the director. Yukie Sugawara (Overlord, Tougen Anki) is in charge of writing the series composition, and Mika Yamamoto (Tiger & Bunny The Movie -The Rising-) is designing the characters. A trailer was previously revealed featuring the opening song.
The anime is adapted from the manga series written and illustrated by Nanateru. It was serialized on Kadokawa Shoten’s Comic Newtype website from July 2021 to February 2024. A sequel manga titled Espírito-chan Wants to Have a Family Z began serialization on the same website in July 2024.
The story follows Espírito, an adorable yet ridiculously powerful girl-type weapon, who ends up living together with the two eccentric genius scientists who created her. Despite being designed as a weapon, Espírito approaches the world with blunt curiosity, asking straightforward (and sometimes awkward) questions about everything around her.
