Today, for Father’s Day, the focus is on the best anime fathers – from warm family men to special father figures who inspire fans with their character and devotion. You can find out who made it into the ranking here!
The opinion of the fans
A live poll has been running for some time on the English-language website Ranker.com, where fans from all over the world can vote on which anime series and films about fathers they like best.
We looked at the current interim results on May 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and of course we don’t want to withhold them from you. As usual, you can find the top 20 rankings below these lines.
What do you think of the fan favorites? Is a character missing or can one be deleted? Please let us know your opinion in the comments!
