do you know who the most dysfunctional families in anime are?

The most dysfunctional anime family that I know of is Sohma clan from Fruits Basket

the head of the Sohma clan has been a sadistic S.O.B. who took his anger or frustration out on some of the Sohma family zodiac members.

Honorable mentions:
Itoshiki family from Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei
Kokonoe Rin's family from Kodomo no Jikan

Do the families of Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geass), Kyousuke Kousaka (Oreimo), and Hayate Ayasaki (Hayate no Gotoku) count?

Spoiler for Just In Case::

That's pretty much I can think off the top of my head.

The Kuhouin family in Kurenai probably qualifies.

Both the Tsukamoto and Sawachika families in School Rumble deserve mention as well, since in both cases the parents appear to have abandoned their daughters. Eri at least has household staff; Tenma and Yakumo are on their own.

All of the families in Ghost Hound have various dysfunctional features. Komori Tarou's family, his mother in particular, never recovered from the kidnapping and death of their daughter. The head of Ogami Makoto's family leads a religous cult, while Nakajima Masayuki's father is a philanderer.

Adult relatives are scheming to kill the children in both Seirei no Moribito and Nijuu Mensou no Musume.

The entire story of Umineko seems to be based on this but I have yet to finish it so I am not sure.

Spoiler for Mirai Nikki:

I think the family who are the subjects of Soul Taker might take the cake.

Also, Shou Tucker's Family from FMA.

Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Where It's Legal to Marry Clara and Alice Age: 35	Do the families of Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geass), Kyousuke Kousaka (Oreimo), and Hayate Ayasaki (Hayate no Gotoku) count? Spoiler for Just In Case:: Lelouch bears a grudge towards his father and the empire he controls. Code Geass fans know the rest. Honorable Mentions: The Kousaka family favors the youngest child over the eldest because the younger sister excels at everything compared to the latter who's basically average. Plus, the younger sister and brother were on bad terms and still are, to an extent. Hayate's family pretty much laze around and do nothing while the kid brings in the income and works to support them. Then they screwed him over by leaving a huge debt for him to pay off, isn't that sweet. That's pretty much I can think off the top of my head. __________________ Last edited by Kirito; 2012-09-26 at 17:18.
