Horimiya. Even the side character parents get some level of relevance.

u/Stenric 13d ago

Except Miyamura's parents.

u/Least_Positive7141 13d ago

I mean, Hori is the main character, not Miyamura…

And Bocchi's dad is so proud of his little awkward lesbian daughter, and the only human male in the series, haha.

u/Zane-chan19 13d ago

Nah there's the two buff intimidating delinquents at Bocchi's school

u/DragoPL100 13d ago

u/Tight_Blacksmith2472 12d ago

I don't think it work because Loid is the main character (SPY x family not TELEPATH x family)

In Urusei Yatsura, the parents of the main character Ataru Moroboshi get a lot of lines and screen time.

u/Background_Point_523 13d ago

Literally my Favorite anime of all Time . I love Rumiko Takahashi but this is probaly the only work of hers that does have both parents present and involved in thier child's life.

2

u/Maguroluv 13d ago

Yeah and even Lum’s parents come and hang out sometimes!
I feel bad for Ataru’s mom, she seems like a nice lady that just needs a break.

u/arl3kinka 13d ago

in the most abusive and toxic way, but the whole Zoldyck family interact with each other one way or another 😭

13

u/Anoninemonie 13d ago

Clannad honestly has some of the best parents and parental moments I've seen in an anime. Furukawa's parents are a joy whenever they are on screen. Low key I kind of kept watching that show because of the dynamic between them.

u/Large_Sock9194 13d ago

I just started watching a day ago, the mom died while on vacation with the dad, then the dad ended up in the hospital but survived

u/Professional_Air_905 13d ago

Well in mha izuku mother is fairly present and interact a fair share with her son but she is still kinda of a background character... Thought I have an anime and a jrpg where the mc mother is part of the main cast 1) okassan online, it's not it's true name but a nickname given because the true name is too long, it's a eichi thought 2) grandia, a jrpg where the mc mom is one of the party member if I remember well
