I kinda didn’t get much love during childhood, so I kinda get obsessed about it. I recently watched Spy x Family and holy hell, I get so jealous of the wholesomeness of their family dynamic, I cried. I need more of that.
For something new you could try Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family.
Long Story Short - it’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but a realistic family working to get by.
Modern Family - Antics of an extended family. Since it’s a comedy it’s usually pretty wholesome and each family unit brings something different to the table.
While there are definitely more out there, I figured these would be good suggestions as they really focus on family dynamics.
Anime: Bleach has a good family dynamic. It’s probably not cry worthy but is good
A show I forgot from my prior post because it’s so new is Joe Cappa’s Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It’s very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.
I watched the first episode of this having no idea what it was… Pretty funny
maybe prodigy star trek, i hear its geared for children, but it
Joe Pera Talks With You.
Joe’s love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene’s sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.
The Midnight Gospel
It’s only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell’s relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.
Nathan For You
While Nathan For You really isn’t about Nathan Fielder’s relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn’t promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.
really wondering why modern family wasnt mentioned yet
Itnhas it’s moments, but it’s one of those preschool tylr cartoons: Franklin.
No matter what ends up happening, you at least know the main character’s parents are there for him in that wholesome manner you always see in shows of that type. No fighting, no whining, etcetera.
Though, for specific episodes of TV shows, one of my favorites is the KND episode where numbuh 1’s dad gets dadnapped on a father son trip and it ends with numbuh 1 in a sousaphone battle to save his dad, who is absolutely having an amazing time despite being hung upsidedown.
Medalist is an anime about figure skating and the relationship between the young skater and her coach is wholesome as fuck. Not a parent per se but similar vibes. I particularly like how they both help each other; adults have problems too and kids are smarter than we adults often give them credit for, and the show captures that very well. If you like the dynamic in Spy X Family you’ll probably like it.
Also the skating is beautifully animated and the sports anime structure keeps the plot moving along. One of my favorite shows of all time.
It’s a bit older, but I think Adventures of the Gummi Bears has a wholesome family dynamic, even if the family doesn’t seem to be related. If I remeber correctly, the King (Calla’s father) is also shown to be a very loving father.
Anime movie: Bakemono no Ko
Anime show: Yuzuki-san Chi no Yonkyoudai
Movie: instructions not included.
Usagi drop is an adorable movie.
Word of caution, do NOT read the original manga. It's kind of infamous for the incredibly controversial direction the story goes in the second half, which the anime thankfully omits.
Awww, that’s disappointing. The anime seemed very wholesome and hit a lot of the challenges of parenting and just felt real. Definitely won’t ruin the experience with the manga then.

Nichijou! It’s wacky, funny, and out-of-the ordinary slice of life anime. Anyone can watch it.
