Line 31:
* Maka's father Spirit in ''[[Soul Eater]]'', albeit somewhat subverted; in the first episode, there is a short scene where he warns Soul not to make any moves on Maka ... and quickly goes on to tell him that he should give Maka a grope. He does seem to be a decent guy overall, since he was not amused with [[Manipulative Bastard|Medusa's]] [[Abusive Parents|treatment of her child]], [[Ambiguous Gender|Crona]]; when he learns about it from Medusa herself, [[Berserk Button|it's the first time we actually see him]] ''[[Berserk Button|angry]]'' and goes on to prove [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|just how dangerous he really is when his daughter or her friends are threatened]].
* Fujioka "Ranka" Ryouji, Haruhi's father in ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''. Or he could just be a sociopath, he did recognize Tamaki. Though considering that Ryouji '''has''' been raising Haruhi alone ever since the death of Kotoko... The trope also applies to Tamaki himself in his guise as Haruhi's 'father'.
* ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]'': Sōun Tendō. Any indication that Ranma isn't being entirely faithful to his little girl Akane is usually met with him going into [[Demon Head]] mode to rip the boy/girl a new one. The [[Playing with a Trope|unusual (and hilarious) twist to this trope]] is that Sōun [[Arranged Marriage|wants Ranma to marry Akane]] because without that, his dreams of a early retirement will be lost. It's also worth noting that Sōun seems protective of Kasumi and Nabiki as well -- particularly interesting in Nabiki's case, considering all the crap she pulls, yet Sōun never seems to hold a grudge. Also, what makes this particular example hilarious (or at least, unique) is that unlike most of the other examples on this list, Sōun wants nothing more than for Ranma and Akane to screw each other. He's heavily encouraged it multiple times throughout the series.
* ''[[Bleach]]''
** Ichigo's father Isshin is always having fits about protecting his two young daughters (Karin and Yuzu) from any and all dangers. Later subverted in {{spoiler|that he's always known about supernatural dangers much of the world is unaware about. That, and he's actually a Shinigami, too.}} Also subverted in that while he's obsessed with ensuring the safety of his ''daughters'', {{spoiler|he is and has always planned on using his son as a living weapon, even admitting that a father willing to kill his son is a better father to his son than him. He himself isn't very happy about it.}}
