I know, it's just the phrase itself when you sound it out. XD |

I want to add a vote for Sachiko from Erased, she was my immediate thought after finishing the list. Also, while I'm not gonna argue that Chi-chi is a "terrible" mom (the reasons presented for putting her on the list make a kind of sense), I think IF you're going to include a mother from DBZ, 18 or Videl are better choices, since I feel both do a better job of keeping Chichi's pluses while clearing most of her minuses. (interesting that in both cases they're raising girls instead of boys)

There's another manga/anime mother I feel like mentioning, Yukiko Koshigaya, Natsumi, Komari, and Suguru's mother on Non Non Biyori. As someone who appears to be a mostly stay-at-home mother in a farming community where most other parents are constantly in the rice fields or doing other sorts of farm work, she's the only actual parent in Asahigaoka village who makes regular appearances in the story (although Hotaru's parents do show up occasionally, moreso in the anime than in the manga).
Mrs. Koshigaya is mainly important to the story as Natsumi needs a "foil" character outside of school, but the aspect of her character I find most interesting is that she's often kind of a surrogate parental figure to pretty much every other kid and teenager in the community, making impromptu meals for Renge Miyauchi and Hotaru Ichijou and even some of the older teenagers like Hikage Miyauchi and Konomi Fujimiya. It never really comes up in the story, but Atto gives an interesting "word of God" tidbit about her in one of those author's postscript manga chapters: spoiler[when Yukiko was an older teenager/young adult, she often had to look after Kazuho Miyauchi, who is now the teacher at the branch school and who is Renge and Hikage's older sister, in a manner very similar to how Kaede Kagayama sometimes acts as a caretaker to Renge, so she had practice being like a mother some years before she had Suguru. This may explain why Yukiko took it upon herself to retrieve Kazuho from the station when she missed the train (in the anime version of the beach episode story only), as Yukiko still looks out for Kazuho to some degree (although a simpler explanation is that Kazuho was stranded without her own vehicle and there aren't too many other named characters in the story with full driver's licenses).] Correction: It was Kazuho, not Yukiko, who gave Kaede a whole container full of curry for supper that one time. Off the top of my head, I don't remember Yukiko Koshigaya ever interacting with Kaede (Dagashiya/Candy Store) Kagayama. By the way, Kazuho Miyauchi would probably be an excellent example should a future installment of "The List" be about "Motherly Elder Sisters". |

Fusa Takehara from "Xam'd: Lost Memories" is a strong-willed mom. In fact, she cares greatly for her son (Akiyuki the hero).
Her entry from the series' Wikipedia and MyAnimelist pages:

unfortunately those are the type of parents that end up being fan favs within the otaku community. especially when it comes to some deceased moms that screams "otaku bait". however chi chi is another story. she is definitely no suberb mom. bulma or 18,yes. but not the most hot tempered and overprotected parent EVER!!!!! and speaking of deceased moms, sakura's mother from CCS should definitely be on this list or least get a mention since it was clear she had a part in her daughter's personality which was why i believe those clow cards took an instant liking to her in the series. |
