  If there's any dad who's both super cool and super scary, it's definitely Dragon Ball's Goku. It's clear that he loves his children and will put his life first for them, but at the same time, he also has moments that don't look like a father very much.

  For example, he once gave Perfect Cell a Senzu bean to heal him before fighting Gohan. Not to mention the fact that he often leaves his family for months, even years to go to training. However, Gohan is both one of the strongest fighters in the universe and a college graduate, so his father must have thought he was doing something right. Dragon Ball is a good anime that will make the audience appreciate more father-son affection.

Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai

• Director: Takeyuki Yanase
  Country: Japan
  Airtime: 4/7/2019 – 19/9/2019
  Genre: slice of life, fantasy
  Status: complete
  In the anime Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai, an experienced adventurer named Dale adopts an abandoned young girl as a child. Her name is Latina, and it turns out that she is an outcast demon of her tribe. For the rest of this anime, the title says it all.

  One of the themes that returns in the anime seems to be the father-son relationship not only by heredity. They are also people who love and care for each other, even if the child is a demon. Although not all fathers are as strong as Dale to be able to take on a full-fledged Demon Lord, the anime Uchi no Ko no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai is actually an important thought that makes viewers appreciate more father-son affection.

  In the anime Attack On Titan, the relationship between the protagonist Eren and his father becomes more and more complicated as the anime continues to deepen. It initially seems to be a loving father-son affection, only to later reveal that Eren's father is not who he usually thinks he is.

  Even later in Attack On Titan, viewers learn that Eren is dishonest, proving that the truth may be due to perspective. One thing is certain: I'm often there to tell a person what they're doing wrong just as what they're doing is right. In Eren's case, maybe he should listen to his father.

  The death of a parent is never easy. In the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, when Edward and Alphonse lose their mother, they become obsessed with finding a way to bring her back — even at the cost of their own bodies. The still-surviving father had left their family long before the incident that caused them to lose everything to the alchemist.

  The person who taught them about alchemy (who was also their father) was not there to guide them in a path that would prevent future difficulties. Such stories can help fans be more grateful to their parents and loved ones who are there to guide them throughout their lives. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has really built a father-son relationship that makes viewers worth pondering.
