in school days the parents are around but they are either:

Perverts (Father - Makoto is actually the girls half uncle)
or
brain dead (the mothers are half sisters, including makoto’s mother)

There is a very good reason why many anime have missing parents. Most parents in their right minds would not allow so much as 1/4 of known anime plots occur underneath their nose. “Shuffle!,” “Girls Bravo!,” “Galaxy Angel” and “School Days” are four examples (off of the top of my head) that would have been prevented *entirely* if there were more parents around.

it is interesting how most animes feel the need to get rid of the parents somehow.

I think Nanoha is the only anime where the parents are still around and actually knows what is going on.
