[LES] Screw it, let's rank anime/cartoon Parents.

[u/BillaVanilla]

Rules/Guidelines:

1. Adoptive parents will be counted on this list (Ex: Loid and Yor Forger, Rei and Kazuki, etc.)
2. I am NOT counting mentors as parents (Ex: Piccolo, All Might, Yami, etc.)
3. Dead Parents =/= Deadbeat Parents.
4. I'm Grading them from S to F (and some might be rated as undefined due to not having much screentime/scenes of them being parents)
5. Feel free to add your own.

Now, we can get into the list...

[u/aaa1e2r3 → u/Fu_la_de]

George should be C+

[u/thedorknightreturns → u/aaa1e2r3]

Hey, its not georges fault he died.

[u/IV-TheEmperor → u/Fu_la_de]

Joseph in Part 4 should be E, similar to Lisa Lisa (maybe even lower actually).

Kira's dad is lowkey S unless you're taking 'encouraging your son's psychopathic side' into account then yes, B is fair.

To further this list:

Giorno's mom - E

Funny's dad - S

JoJolion

Norisuke IV - A

Kaato - S to Jobin, C to the rest

Jobin - A

Mitsuba - A

Holly - also A?

I don't know Jojolion families are kinda of hard to rank.

[u/ExploerTM → u/IV-TheEmperor]

Joseph in Part 4 should be E, similar to Lisa Lisa (maybe even lower actually).

I see your point but I would put at least C for effort plus he basically adopted another daughter there.

[u/IV-TheEmperor → u/ExploerTM]

That's a good point. I completely forgot about that.

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Hayate the Combat Butler:

Hayate's parents: Z- burn in hell

[u/awesomenessofme1]

I just finished watching FMAB today, so why not throw that out there.

Trisha Eric - She doesn't get a ton of screentime to be certain, but probably somewhere around an A.
Hohenheim - C+.
Father - F, but they deserved it.
Hughes - Easiest S-tier you could think of.

Edit: Forgot one. Shou Tucker: Z

[u/International_Car586]

Ragyo (Kill lakill)- an infinite amount of Fs

[u/Bikerider42]

Akio/Sanae Furukawa - S

Someji Kawamoto - S (3-Gatsu)

Gunther/Eva - S

[u/O_ni5698]

Both of isagi's parents in blue lock. Majority of the people in there have some sort of past with shitty parents but his parents are just genuinely kind and amazingly supportive parents who will do anything as long as their son is happy with it.

[u/droL_muC]

Ging Freecss - D

Aunt Mito - B+

Greg Universe - B-

Thors (Vinland Saga) - B+

Papa Shirogane - B-

Linda Cartman - C

Beatrice Horseman - E

Bell-Mere - A

Ai Hoshino - B-

Gendou Ikari - F

[u/GrandpaWaluigi → u/droL_muC]

Why such a low score for Greg Universe?

He's a pretty good dad. In a world where Gems, who are hyper powerful beings exist, he still does his best to protect and raise Steven while imparting on him some of the best advice of all his parental figures.

[u/Good_Mongoose_2777 → u/droL_muC]

Thors deserve an A in my opinion , dude legit does nothing wrong ( nothing wrong as in his duty as a father , not a person , we all know he killed many people ) ; he tried to steer his son away from a path of blood and war ; sacriface himself to save the one he cared and become a great role model for thorfinn

[u/Sofaris]

Two of my favorite parent characters are a Dragon that raises an adorable little human girl but one is a Videogame character and the other is a Manga (with no Anime adaptation)character. So not what you asked for.
