rilina is taking nominations for, among other thing, Worst Father Figure in Anime/Manga. Go on over there and nominate your favorite dysfunctional families, or just read over the previous nominations. Plz to be noting the spoiler-hiding code.

...I had something else to say, but I can't remember what it was. Hrm.

I'm really torn between Alexis Hargreaves and God, but Kaori Yuki definitely wins.

My general run of manga lately just isn't as crack-addled when it comes to familial relationships as most of these. They mostly suffer from the Generic Fantasy Trope of absence of parents, more than anything else, so I can't really nominate anything unless someone is willing to argue that Aizen is a father figure to Hinamori.

Yeah, I was thinking Ikari Gendou (my usual default Worst Father-Figure in anime) and then I remembered Alexis Hargreaves. I mean, sweet unholy Heavens, that's what he did to Jizabel?

(Have not read vol. 7 of Godchild yet, but read the spoilers. Oh dear.)

I hope you'll elaborate on my nomination for God, because I couldn't recall whether he or someone else was responsible for some things, or why.

I was thinking about nominating Arima's father from Kare Kano, but even with all of the soap opera, he just doesn't come close to any of the ones already nominated.
