Japanese fathers are too busy doing 12 hour shifts that don't need doing and since their dads did the same thing they have no concept of how to be a supportive paternal figure

How are you gonna sell anime to children and teenagers as a fantasy land away from everyday life if the characters have their parents around as an anchor?

you can find outliers and examples in anything, but the general stereotype are missing fathers.

Part of it is this parents just get in teh way of the plot so they get banished to be "overseas" to explain why the MC can have 5 girls stay over and nobody cares.
Second thing is that japs just really work that much.

Also, why are anime moms always hotter than anime daughters?

cus porn?

Same reason why in Disney it is Uncle Donald, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey, etc? Until Goofy had a son I think the only other father was the bad wolf wasn’t it? All the others are uncles so they don’t tie the characters

Goofy and Pete, yeah. Also, tangential to Disney and titles like that, there's also a reason why children's media with royalty as protagonists focus on the titles "Prince" and "Princess", even if those characters are proper monarchs, because "King" and "Queen" are associated with evil (for stupid reasons).

Only in really specific school settings.

MCs show their greatness and personality by facing hard events. That's a common story thing.
Parents get in the way. So do mentors and strong allies. So they're killed or kept away.
