Exactly what the title says.

I personally though that Koro-Sensei was an amazing mentor for his class.

-Shiro Fujimoto from Blue Exorcist was actually a good father-figure
-Gintoki also is a good father-figure for both Shinpachi and Kagura

-Jiraiya from Naruto and also Koro-sensei also

daikichi from usagi drop is a great portrayal of someone learning an succeeding at being a great father figure.

shimada from sangatsu no lion is a solid mentor and great protag besides.

takahashi sensei from demich wa kataritai is super dependable and responsible.

shiroe from log horizon is a good mentor to minori.

kou from new game. its interesting watching her both teach aoba and learn from others at the same time.

My man Maes Hughes! He was wonderful in FMA adaptation from 2003.

Some kind of editing genius needs to splice the first 13 episodes of Brotherhood with the first 26-ish episodes of FMA 2003.

Then it would truly be perfect.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Hiratsuka-sensei from OreGairu
While she doesn't get a lot of time in the anime, she still has some really good lines to say to Hachiman.
She gets a lot more screentime and character development in the LNs.

Mael Hughes in FMA as previous replies have stated.

Masaoka from Psycho-Pass S1 is also a really good mentor.

If we talk about best father figures, then the only correct answers is Bondrewd. Next to him, most father figures look like distant relatives.

For me easily goes to Reigen, dude is a great "con artist" despite giving his clients actual service and the most impactful person in Shigeo's life by letting him know that he himself makes him special not his actual powers.

I guess it's a sign of the changing times that this thread has been up for a while and no one's yet mentioned Kamina.

you imagine a teacher who slaps his students on the ass as a teaching method, no matter if it is a girl, in fact he does even worse things with some girls, he is hilarious. Anime : Great teacher onizuka

Yeah, Daikichi's development and fatherly love for Rin was amazing, and the effect it had on his view of both himself and those around him was beautiful. It was a short anime, but it ends at least with the assurance that a once sad orphan will never again be abandoned or without a guardian that'll love her. One of the best anime-original series. A shame there was never anything else to come of it. That catchy opening and ending still slaps hard lol!

Girl surrounded by horny looking guys licking their chops, one of the panel focuses on Madoka sticking out his tongue while the next focuses on Claire ass. One of his subordinate said that Madoka loves pretty girls. Madoka himself is ok with his subordinate ripping off the masked chick clothes and pinching her nipple. If that's not rape undertone/teasing then Idk what is lol

The reason sex is not explicitly portrayed cuz it's not a hentai, not only this one but Japanese manga is well-known to do this to incite some emotional response from readers.

What manga? Usagi Drop is an anime-only project. There is no manga. The story was an anime original one-season work inspired by the lead writer's life. There is no manga. None. No manga.

Take a deep breath and carefully read what I wrote. I understand that English isn't your primary language and that's ok, but a rapist tone =/= an actual rapist. A tone simply means a given vibe or general impression so basically if I'm a girl and I see this Madoka dude looking at my ass while licking his lips then I'd say that he exudes the rapist vibe lol
