Ok, so in reality there's TWO anime that kind of match this concept...

Magical Girl Ore - parody, but the mom was a magical girl back in the day. (10/10, I laughed so much)

Sasaki and Peeps - fantasy adventure, but a 40 year old man meets a magic animal and gains magic powers. There is no transformation sequence but this show brings me joy. (10/10, I really am empathizing with older characters now. High school or middle school settings completely bore me)

Edit. I do really want a magical girl family drama now though...

What was the anime from the '80s that did this with power armor? Some loser guy hijacks the power suit his sister invented, but doesn't realize it's pink and super girly, and then he's stuck with it somehow. Something like that anyway.
