I haven't seen very many good female main characters. I would like to change that.

[b][size=125]I would like a female MC that is:

- Not weak

- Not cowardly

- Calm and relaxed

- Capable of doing things on her own

- Attractive

Had a feeling someone was going to mention this. Already tried it awhile ago. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Added Oregairu and Juuni Kokuki. I'm planning to watch Claymore and Fate/Stay Night sometime this year.

Still on the fence about Shakugan no Shana though.

Just ask yourself "Would others find a character I find attractive also attractive?"

Skip Beat looks good and it isn't too long so I added that.

Also added Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii and Akatsuki no Yona

The rest of them I'm a bit unsure about.

Saiunkoku Monogatari seems like WAY too much of a time investment for an anime that probably won't be that great.

Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi just doesn't look that good though it is only 12 episodes so there's that.

I've heard Spice and Wolf has a lot of economics talk which would probably bore me. Plus I dropped Maoyuu which is by the same director.

I've been afraid about watching this anime because the plot is supposedly really convoluted. Is that true?

Well, if you don't end up liking any of them, you can drop them. I guess you don't have to try them if you don't want to, though.

I'd say she's a 7. Good but not great.

It's that large gap between her nose and mouth that's bugging me the most. The effort's appreciated though.

She's calm and tactical, at least in the visual novel. I myself have not watched UBW's adaptation, but I am currently on the route for it. In the first one she was extremely composed. She's more or less a mild tsundere, realistically done.

Yukinoshita Yukino from Yahari Ore No Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru is fucking perfekt and meets all your requirements. But she is not the 'main character', she is probably the main heroine but the MC is the guy, Hachiman. In one volume she doesn't even appear until the very last chapter.

Did you seriously drop that? Give it another go.

Definitely watching Oregairu. Yukino is very pretty. She's in the 8-8.5 range at least!

I haven't been enjoying the Raildex universe so far. I'm more than half way into the first season of Index and have hated what I've seen so I really don't know if I will be watching the rest of the series.

As for Black Lagoon, I plan to give it another try. Revy was not really my type though. She seemed too wild and reckless from what I remember.

She's a 10 no doubt.

Railgun has a different tone than Index, especially the second season of Railgun (which was IMO the best one in Raildex.)

I'd say give the first season of Railgun a try. It's more lighthearted than Index at first, but the second season changes all of that.

Satellizer may seem that way but this impression is gradually ruined. She is not really calm at all. And her image of being a strong woman kinda breaks after it's revealed her brother turned her into pretty much a (sex) pet of his.

Saiunkoku Monogatari has one of my favorite heroines in anime. Being voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu, Kuwashima Houko, just adds to her appeal.

Legend of the Legendary Heroes has a hot blonde. Strong and confident in herself, calm and jokes around. there are plenty of characters stronger than her, but should fit the strong and independent woman your looking for.

Added Moyashimon because it looks pretty interesting and is only 11 episodes.

Seirei no Moribito is already on my plan to watch list. The main character does not look very attractive though that isn't absolutely necessary

Chihayafuru is already on my plan to watch list.

Added My Little Monster

I can't justify watching this. It's 27 episodes which is a tad bit too long for my taste when I know that it isn't going to be anything that is really groundbreaking.

Chihaya is most definitely cute. You just made me even more excited to watch this!

Already have Canaan on my plan to watch list. I'll have to decide whether Noir is worth adding since its rating isn't very high, is twice as long as Canaan, and is a bit too old for my taste.

Legend of the Legendary Heroes is already on my plan to watch list and that blonde is definitely attractive.

Shoujo? No, I don't think so. It's an adaptation of a stage play by Nakashima Kazuki who wrote the screenplays for Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill. As an original work, it doesn't have an official demographic category, though it would probably be considered seinen if anything.

If you want to watch a good shoujo, watch Saiunkoku Monogatari or Kamisama Hajimemashita.

Shit! I got My Little Monster and Oh Edo Rocket mixed up. Don't even ask how I managed that. As for Oh! Edo Rocket, it doesn't look that appealing to me.

It's not that I don't find her appealing. I just don't find her attractive. Take Satsuki from Kill la Kill for an example. One of my favorite females in anime. I just don't find her very attractive. A female doesn't have to be attractive for me to like her.
