Recently for Mother’s Day, we honored the anime moms who we thought best showed motherly traits such as support and love and, in closing, we asked you to share other mothers who you feel deserves to be on the list. Much to our delight, you guys pointed us to the direction of said deserving mums. Here are the Anime mothers that you said showed Unending Love. Heads up though as we might tackle some spoilers ahead. (SPOILER WARNING)
Clara Magnolia – Violet Evergarden
Violet Evergarden is one of the most visually stunning animes out there and is one of those shows known for giving us a ton of feels. More than that, Violet Evergarden seems to be the home of awesome Anime Mom, Clara Magnolia, as commenter FrenchGarcher writes:
In episode 10 of Violet Evergarden, the already terminally ill Clara hired Violet to write letters for her daughter. For about seven days, Violet and Clara never stopped writing despite her visibly worsening condition. This upset Clara’s little daughter who then blamed Violet for this AND for stealing away her mother’s time from her. The purpose of the letters was never revealed until her AFTER her death. Turns out, these letters were to be delivered to Anne on her birthday for the next fifty years. The said letters contains Clara’s wish for Anne to be happy and so that she won’t be lonely during her absence giving motherly advice as well here and there. She not only truly loved her daughter but made sure that her daughter will feel that love even long after she had passed away… I’m not crying. YOU’RE CRYING!
Junko Kaname – Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica
Mothers always provides the best advice and that is why commenter DunnoWho22 asked:
The mother of advice, Junko Kaname, is portrayed as philosophical, confident, caring, and a stylish mother. This top businesswoman can always balance work and time with her kids especially to her daughter Madoka. She makes it a point to always be there to have a mother-daughter conversation and provide good advice whenever Madoka is having a bad time. On the other hand, she also seems to know when to give her time to figure things out alone. Who could forget about that one moment when Madoka said she’s looking forward to drink with her Mom. If Sanae childish personality from the previous list is not your thing then you can always look up for a more mature mom figure like Junko Kaname.
Inko Midoriya – Boku no Hero Academia
You know that kind of mom who worries so much about their beloved child that they either pack you tons of food to eat during school trips or either won’t let you go at all? Sure, you do! That’s probably why commenter zavierjay22 mentioned:
She might have gained some weight due to stress and being a bit too overprotective of her son, Izuku Midoriya, but her support and love were displayed even way earlier in the series when Izuku was revealed to be Quirkless. She then proceeded to cry and apologiz to her son as if she was at fault for him having no Quirk. But as the series progressed and Izuku finally gained a quirk, she the found herself unable to bear the feeling that her son might get hurt and was reluctant, at first, to let her son join U.A. but, after accepting this, she allowed Izuku to move out and even ordered a hero suit based on his design. Always cheering and providing support to him since then, that is why Inko Midoriya is indeed golden.
Sachiko Fujinuma – Erased
Former news anchor and mother of the protagonist Satoru seems to earned so much love from our commenters that you guys had to let us know the error of our ways by not including her in the initial list. It was only after being called out, however, that we did realize that it was indeed blasphemous to have a top mothers list without Sachiko Fujinuma. So thank you to commenters boomeraang31, UltimateEye, and DwarfSight for opening our eyes when they said:
Again spoiler warning! If you haven’t watch Erased, don’t go beyond this point!
Sachiko Fujinuma is a kind, caring, single mom to her son Satoru. Because of her previous job, she has the eye for anything unusual and always seemed to know what her son is thinking (this actually frightens him). But because of this, she ended up getting into trouble which set the whole story in motion. As the story revisited their earlier years, the anime shows Sachiko as an amazingly loving and supporting mom who was always there for her child when he needed her the most. Her motherly devotion was showed even more during the last arc of the story as she took care of her son when he was under a coma. She had to work a different kind of job and never lost hope that he will one day wake up. She is indeed one of the best Okasans out there.
Again, there you have it! The list of awesome moms according to our commenters. Thanks for your time and comments and, if you think that we still missed some, join the conversation and let us know!
