Got Code Geass: R2

I went to Queensbay today. As usual, Taiko no Tatsujin first until my hands bleed (Really, I play until my palm bleeds. If you analyse the drumsticks, u'll find traces of my blood.) Then, it's time to hit the game store. I finally got Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I wanted Warriors Orochi 2, but couldn't find it, so I settled with Warriors Orochi.

After that, back to Taiko. I blew another 2 bucks and found my palms shaking and my strength deteriorating, so I stopped and went to the anime stores. I found Code Geass R2, but couldn't find R1, so I bought R2 first. I'll watch it after I've found and watched R1.

And to finish, I'll start the top 10 game!

Top 10 Parents in Anime and Video Games (there wouldn't be enough if it was only anime)

#10 Kinomoto Fujitaka (Cardcaptor Sakura)
Contrary to what most kids would think of their dads, this father is SO nice. Yet, he's not those sappy kind of dads who shower their kids with excessive love and stuff. This one knows how to give a good impression as a loving and caring father who doesn't spoil his kids. This series probably gave kids a better image of their dads.

#9 Kannagi Genma (Kaze no Stigma)
He played a very small role in the whole series, but the episode at the hot springs was just plain hilarious. At the beginning of the series, you see him as a calm and collected man who follows family traditions. In other words, a very disciplined man. But then, you see another side of him in episode 16. He doesn't like to lose, especially to his own son. Imagine a windmaster and a firemaster battling it out in an open hotspring.

#8 Gail Glory (Rave)
They make you think he's a bad guy for several episodes, and when you finally see the guy, he acts like a bad guy for like 20 seconds (swinging his sword at Haru). Then, you find out his side of the story and he leaves the story just like that, but not before giving his son an unforgettable memory of him.

#7 Suou Uzuki (Xenosaga Episode III)
He was willing to betray his country for the sake of his wife and his daughter. His wife was terminally ill and his daughter was too young to understand the conflict that was happening. He could not escape with his wife in such condition, nor could he just escape without his family. In the end, he joined the enemy and became head researcher. However, during that period of time, he acted as an insider and often gave information to his eldest son, Jin Uzuki. In the end, he helped develop a technology that killed him, his wife and sent an entire planet to oblivion. A sad ending for a man who struggled between family and loyalty.

#6 Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko (Detective Conan)
Yusaku is a professional mystery writer and a former consultant detective, perhaps the greatest of his time. Kudo Yukiko is a former actress and has an extraordinary talent in disguises. They're like Sherlock Holmes split in two. Together as a team, they form the ultimate team that even their prodigal son, Shinichi, can't beat. If only they didn't get into fights so frequently.

#5 Son Goku (Dragonball Z)
Yeah, well, wouldn't you want a dad who is the strongest fighter in the universe, and probably in all universes. And to top it off, he's a very nice person. Who the heck would dare to threaten you, kidnap you or hurt you? And you get to learn from him... as long as your mother doesn't find out.

#4 Jecht (Final Fantasy X)
Tidus was a very sad boy. Ever since young, he was put down by his father, Jecht. Jecht always told Tidus how useless he was and how he will never be able to surpass his father. Little did he know, that was Jecht's strategy to build him up to be stronger than his father. When Jecht sacrificed himself to become the Final Aeon, he sent Auron (his Guardian partner) to watch over Tidus until Tidus entered Spira. And when Tidus did, Jecht had prepared footages of himself to apologise and to guide Tidus through Spira. Finally, they meet once again after so many years and Tidus had to prove that he had surpassed Jecht so Jecht can finally rest in peace.

#3 Izumi Soujirou (Lucky Star)
The otaku father of an extreme otaku daughter. He has the classic foolish parent character, but his love of games and anime makes me like him. He's a simple-minded fellow with simple dreams (to see shrine maidens, to eat dinner with three high school girls etc.). He loves his wife and daughter because they're petit and cute(lolicon). My personal favourite. I wish my parents were like that.

#2 Furukawa Akio (Clannad)
Imagine a dad who says this.
Sanae: "It's nice to see our daughter inviting a friend at the start of the year. And he's a guy too."
Akio: "What!? A guy!?"
Tomoya (sitting opposite him): "You just realised!?"

And this.
Akio: "You wanna date my daughter? Dream on! Get out!"
Tomoya: "Okay, bye."
Akio: "Hold it! What do you think you're doing? Giving up just like that? No! You should fight for the person you love!"
Tomoya: "..."

And this,
Akio: "Tomoya? What an ordinary name... You should have a more spectacular name if you wanna date my daughter!"
Sanae: How about a nickname? Like Okazaki Tomoya "Eternal"?
Akio: "That's right, Okazaki Tomoya Ethanol!"
Tomoya: "... I like my name the way it is. Thank you..."

Plus, he plays baseball with the neighbourhood kids, and especially likes to play when he's in a bad mood (Just imagine. Angry 30+ year old guy playing baseball against 10-year-olds.).

#1 Saotome Genma (Ranma 1/2)
Ha! You didn't think I'd forget this guy, did ya? No way! This man is THE father who has left the biggest impression inside of me. Like Goku, he's a martial artist, but his style is seriously, seriously, seriously whacked. I mean "Crouching Tiger Technique" = Bow down and beg for mercy. He changes into a panda and runs away when problems arise. He cheats in shogi. He fights his own son for the last cup of noodle or the last piece of meat. He sells his own son for food and then steals his son back. WTF is this dad thinking!? With a dad like this, there's no such thing as an ordinary day or an ordinary life!
