Potential HAOS (Healing Anime of the Season, patent pending).
This is also an attempt at selling nostalgia, similar to Yaiba, but it, at least, works better for me, since it feels like a more mature story, more mature than Ranma, too. Which is, probably a double-edged sword. I do not think I was laughing at anything during the 1st episode, and that's totally fine considering the overall setup, but there should be a good dose of humor in the future for the sake of balance and the mentioned healing. Something tells me there will be plenty of it, though.
Mostly because of Anne herself. She is quite a character for sure, and I expect she will annoy quite a few people (both in the show and in real world), due to how talkative she is. She is also smart, but somewhat silly (or just appropriately childishly naive?), and that probably will bring her some trouble down the line, too, and that, in turn, will cause some laughs. And some frustrations for her new family, but we already see her affect on them (which may be just a bit fast).
I do have a little bit of concern, but it's more result of personal preferences. I am somewhat afraid that it may become purely slice-of-life without real progress through each episode. Like an anthology, essentially, similar to that new show set in a ballpark. That would not make the show any worse by any measure, but just not something for me. Of course, it's too early to predict that.
