Can we agree that Asako Tsukishima and Seiya Tsukishima are probably the best Ghibli parents ever?

These two I think are probably the most supportive ghibli parents ever and I've seen the movie a lot

First off I like the fact they avoid the trope of the parents wanting something different for their child they're very supportive of Shizuka's dream of being a writer sure they do argue like how Shizuka grades go down and when she starts skipping dinners but it dosen't come from a place of mean spiritedness rather it comes from concerns that she's endangering her future and her health which is very understandable

The mom is very much a strict person but not unreasonable like a said she does become concern when she skips meals but it comes from a motherly love

The dad especially seems to love his children and I do like the scene where he tucks in a sleeping Shizuka that was sweet
