Because it's cute.

>>149489686
this show was literally full house
with less girls

Abe propaganda.

I wonder if there's any correlation with these and the lack of sex, new marriages, and children in Japan. Otaku growing up and getting fatherly insticts that they can't act upon and use these shows as an outlet, maybe?

>>149489597
It's not just a japanese thing. One of the most effective ways of earning a profit through pandering is exploiting the fatherly instinct.
Just look at a different media: videogames.
Bioshock Infinite, Telltale's The Walkind Dead, The Last of Us, Lisa. All of those printed money to the point where Sony is rebooting God of War as a TLOU clone.

>>149489597
To lure inn the singel women in their late twenties. It's "endearing" to see a man be able to take care of a kid on their own, so i guess it panders to a lot of women.

>>149490167
It's actually pandering to men. Notice how the children are usually girls. As >>149489953
said, otaku who watch anime have gotten older and are getting the biological urge to be a father.

Because otaku grew up.

>>149490358
You actually make a good point Anon, i didn't think of it that way. I guess it makes sense, men in their 30's start wanting babies so i guess the logical step would be single dad anime. Well i guess it can pander to both genders really.

>>149490167
Yotsuba&! is Shounen.
Barakamon is Shounen.
Amaama to Inazuma is Seinen.
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari is Seinen.

Usagi Drop is Josei but Daikichi is no longer a father nor single by the end of the manga.

This, Shinzo knows otaku weak spots and fight them with daughteru feels.

Men in both the East and West are realizing you can have a happy family without needing the unneccessary and often detrimental middle woman. Anime and vidya pander to this.

>>149490514
To be fair, there was that really famous anime about raising a daughteru that ended with the father fucking his (adpoted) daughter. Which was made by a woman to satisfy her 'wanting to fuck daddy' fetish. But most of the time it panders to men. There might be an equivalent for women as well but I don't watch shoujo.

>>149491314
Just kinda figured it pandered to both, or at least can. I haven't really watched any of the anime's mentioned above, since they don't seem like my thing. I was thinking of watching Amaama to Inazuma because it looked cute, but haven't gotten around to it.

All father daughter shows should end the way usagi drop's manga did.

>>149491096
Can you really adopt a kid as a single father? Most of these stories just have the kid fall into the guy's life out of nowhere.

>>149489597
It's the ultimate wish fulfillment. Taking care of a cute kid (usually a daughter) without having a bitchy wife around.

This basically.
>>149490113

>>149491800
no, its actually really hard for anyone single to adopt, but its easier for women to do it.

>>149491800

If you are a relative becoming a guardian I'm sure you could. A random kid from an adoption agency? Nope.

>>149491096
So the ideal life is about being together with your best male friend und raising a child together?

Because Disney did it.

>>149489597
Social experiment.

Too much virgins into anime

>>149491800
Adoption of a non-relative is basically impossible.

>>149492689
i loved that game!!!!

>>149490898
>Udon is seinen
that's surprising. I was 100% sure it was jousei before I looked it up.

>>149494713
I should play it more often.

I was also talking about the show.

>>149495073
The "father-son" thing is just a subplot, it's basically about a dude in his thirties who can't let go of the past.

>>149495698
This. It's less about Poco and more about Souta dealing with the passing of his father.

>>149490113
Ellie is fucking adorable and 60% of the reason I plated the game.

Great story but really depressing ending.

Also, it's the same thing with Yotsuba&!, the dad only exists because he has to exist. The story's just about a weird girl interacting with the characters and the world around her. That's why it's called Yotsuba&!, because each chapter is Yotsuba + something else.
