When it comes to anime moms, most protagonists are lucky to have one. Anime protagonists are so likely to grow up without their parents that fans have begun making memes about it. The baseline to be a good anime mom is to be present in their kids’ lives, or have had a positive impact on them while they were alive.
However, there are some moms that go beyond that. Some of them are supportive of their child’s goals no matter how far they might be out of reach. Others are protagonists themselves, protecting their children and making sure no one ever harms their kids. Regardless, there’s few anime fans who don’t love a good anime mom.
