| - Interesting : Why is she interesting? Please let me know ^^ - The story should be focused around her and preferably also told from her point of view (So most harems fall off) Some examples: - Skip beat - Beauty pop - Superior - Seirei no Moribito & Kemono no Souja Erin - Noir I once began adding all my animes to my list,but stopped after it became a hassle to find them all. So I prefer manga suggestions over anime which are more likely to be unknown to me. Anyway thanks in advance! |
| Junni Kokuki ("Twelve Kingdoms") - If you liked Moribito, you should watch this. The protagonist starts off as a weak-willed high-school girl. She is transported to a fantasy world where she learns her true fate. This one starts slowly so be patient. Youko's personal journey is often considered one of the greatest examples of character development in anime. Saiunkoku Monogatari is another fantasy Asian story, this one set in a world that looks like T'ang China (600-900 CE). The heroine is an impoverished princess who wants to become her country's first female Imperial official. There's a romance, too, but Shurrei has her eyes firmly set on her personal agenda. Not as much action/adventure as Junni Kokuki or Moribito; Shurrei succeeds with her mind and her determination. The main supporting woman in Monster is another admirable female character. She's a 20-yo law student with a complicated past. Though the main story focuses on Dr. Tenma, Nina has her own path, and many episodes are devoted to her. Next I'll recommend Chihayafuru. As a young girl, Chihaya learns to play an obscure Japanese card game called karuta with two boys from school. When she enters high school she recruits a team that competes in intermural contests. Chihaya is very focused on karuta, sometimes to the point of obsession, but her determination motivates her friends and makes them a strong team. Finally I'll suggest Shirobako. The main character is a young woman just out of college who goes to work as a production assistant for an anime studio. Aoi is very competent and a born leader who manages to keep all the creative types in line. |

| Angelise Ikuraga Misurugi from Cross Ange She went from a racist princess to a pragmatic soldier with sympathetic tendencies. She has also gone bananas (sexually and otherwise) primarily due to being the most tortured female I've seen in almost all media. These next two, I haven't seen much of, but they still left an impression Tomoko Kuroki from Watamote She's THE female otaku and her design doesn't conform to conventional anime beauty to entertain the notion of a cool personality. Sakurako Kujou from Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru Not many adult female detectives I can think of outside of the obvious scifi, so I would assume she would be fairly refreshing. She has an obsession with collecting bones (I got an erotic vibe) and is very clingy to those she (her assistant rather) finds. |

| Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 The story begins with "tired of life" Mirai, which rather tired of the disposition of things in the world around it: parents quarrels, the younger brother is annoying... But fate played a cruel joke with Mirai, when she, in despair, have wished that all disappeared... Slayers The comedy-fantasy-anime series. Lina, the main character... She just need for all the canons to be an concentration of light magic! Well, or dark magic... but if it dark, then she must be tormented by it, to suffer, etc, etc.. Yeah, whatever. Yep, she saves the world. When she wants. When she is well fed and quite content. Or when she paid. And in general, to begin to think about: is it worth it at all to allow the world to save, because it is not known what is worse. White magic in the face of her companion, the Princess - that's really the true hero of the light. But here, reaching the point of absurdity in their quest for justice she can do such cases. And so on ... |
| You might want to take a look at Ghost in the Shell. The lead female character, Motoko, can make a chiseled man cry like a little b*tch. Claymore also has an interesting female lead. Although, Star or Aki from Tekkaman isn't a lead character, she still has the personality that more female characters should have. Always nice and loyal to another character. |

And so on ... Ive watched every rendition of the slayers series which was a lot. I adored tokyo magnitude for the older female main character mari which makes sense since she resembles balsa from seirei no moribito a lot (Design and attitude wise). Still thank you for the recommendations. mostezli said: Angelise Ikuraga Misurugi from Cross Ange She went from a racist princess to a pragmatic soldier with sympathetic tendencies.

| Otogizhoushi -- A little-known title with the girl as the protag. Interesting to see her strength of character as attempts to impersonate her sick brother to complete a quest. Second half takes place in modern Tokyo where it becomes more of a mystery solving title. Junketsu no Maria -- Rather adult themes but Maria has ideas of her own that butt up against the Church (and an oft-appearing archangel as well). Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran -- A very good female samurai wandering from town-to-town correcting local injustice (with the help of a martial artist female companion). |

chibishoujo said: I've watched Junni Kokuki,Saiunkoku Monogatari and Chihayafuru which were great. I know of monster,but I don't think it suits me ^^; I started watching Shirobako right away after you recommended it,thank you so much (Was on a dry spell when it comes to new animes). So now that we've covered those rather obvious suggestions, here are a few more obscure options: Otona Joshi no Anime Time - A series of four short stories by female authors about women between 28 and 45. The stories range from funny to bittersweet to disturbing. Hataraki Man - Workplace comedy-drama about a 28-yo editor at a weekly magazine. Tanaka Rie delivers a knock-out performance as the world-weary Hiroko dealing with patriarchy and overwork. LUpin III: Mine fujiko to Iu Onna - Okada Mari goes a bit too Gothic for my tastes at the end, but she and director Sayo Yamamoto delivered on this unusual spinoff from the Lupin III series. These next three have young heroines: Shion no Ou - The titular character is a thirteen-year-old mute girl who is pursuing a career as a professional Shougi ("Japanese chess") player. She witnessed the brutal murder of her parents at age four and hasn't spoken since. A detective pursues the murderer in a parallel story, but Shion's personal development is much more compellling. Nijuu Mensou no Musume - Based on characters by Edogawa Rampo, this story features his "Moriarty," the master thief Nijuu Mensou ("Twenty Faces"), and a young girl he kidnaps during a robbery who becomes his acolyte. One of my favorite performances by Hirano Aya as the "musume." Cross Game follows a pair of childhood friends who both become ace baseball pitchers. Aoba is remarkably talented, but her gender places obstacles in her path. One of the six shows to which I've given a ten rating. In the better-known department, I'll toss out Ergo Proxy and Nodame Cantabile, if you have never watched them. Both Re'l and Nodame are compelling characters. I'll also suggest the remarkable Dennou Coil (another ten rating) if you have never seen it. The main girls are just ten, but you'll be entranced. If you want to try another recent option, I'll suggest Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, a tale about an herbalist who meets a prince. It's pretty fluffy, but the main couple is adorable, and Shirayuki herself is no slouch. It has some similar themes to SaiMono though the romance is stronger, and Shirayuki is a commoner which raises issues about their relationship. Another season early next year. |

| -Skip Beat -Chihayafuru Hehe i'll put in Highschool DxD as a joke |
| Yona of the Dawn - Yona, unbelievable story and progression. She is dependant on everyone around her but once shit hits the fan she forces herself to adapt and learn and progresses so much into something amazing. I love this show. Katanagatari - Togame, a strategical genius who is commissioned to collect some legendary swords. Her dialogue with the other main lead and romance partner is amazing and so worth paying attention too. Not only is she a genius, she is also incredibly cute and its one of my favourite ever stories. I rated it as one of my 10/10 shows a must watch honestly. That last episode still gives me goosebumps. Cheeeeeeeriiioooooooooooooo!!!! |

| Spice and Wolf – Holo, one of my favorite female characters AnoHana – Menma is an interesting supernatural character Akagami no Shirayuki Hime – Shirayuki is another one of my favorite female leads. |

She is quite shy and destroys all the electric devices she touches. When she begins to think about going out of the mountains and moving to the city, her guardian Sagara Yukimasa recommends her to enter a high school in Tokyo and forces his son Miyuki to serve Izumiko for life. Miyuki and Izumiko repel each other but their relationship begins to change when a terrifying accident occurs on the school excursion. Izumiko learns her fate as the last representative (yorishiro) of a Himegami goddess and Miyuki learns of his duty as a guardian Yamabushi of Izumiko.~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://myanimelist.net/anime/4551/Hakushaku_to_Yousei ~In the nineteenth century, we find Lydia Carlton living in Scotland, making a living as a fairy doctor.

The Magdalene Order is an organization that tries to counter this force. Two of its exorcists are Rosette Christopher and her assistant, Chrono. Both appear out of place in an organization like this, and they are in a quest to find Rosette's missing brother, Joshua.

Forced to escape only with Son Hak, who is both her childhood friend and bodyguard, the naïve princess soon discovers that Kouka is not the idyllic place she envisioned it to be. Poverty, strife, and corruption run rampant, making reclaiming the throne nothing more than a wishful fantasy given the kingdom's current state.~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~~Manga~~ http://myanimelist.net/manga/8157/Kamisama_Hajimemashita The anime is good too. ~Nanami Momozono is alone and homeless after her dad skips town to evade his gambling debts and the debt collectors kick her out of her apartment.

I've heard of Otona Joshi no Anime Time,but I skipped it for being a collection of short stories. I'll give it a try (still a bit skeptical when it comes to short stories though) Mine fujiko was excellent. I personally really liked the film noir style,it made the anime more memorable. Ive already seen (and read) Shion no Ou,Nijuu Mensou no Musume,Shirayuki and crossgame (Same goes for nodame and ergo proxy which are quite the well known) Hataraki seems interesting enough and Ill be sure to try that one out ^^ Thanks for the recommendation ! =) StealthActivated said: -Skip Beat -Chihayafuru Hehe i'll put in Highschool DxD as a joke I thoroughly enjoyed both of them (Especially skip beat). Ill leave no comment further for the DxD part =v= GenesisCore93 said: I would totally recommend NANA then.

Once again thank you for the recommendations,manga recommendations are especially welcome! |
| You're a tough customer there, chibishoujo! How about these? Toshokan Sensou - Main female character is a new recruit to a team of armed librarians. Like other "senpai" romances (e.g, Nodame, Planetes), she falls for her handsome but strict lieutenant. Has actual gun battles between government-sponsored librarians defending the right to read against government-sponsored censors. Don't ask me! Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiki Jikenbo - Ryoko is the drop-dead gorgeous Superintendent of the "Supernatural Division" of the Tokyo Police. She'd like to bed her male subordinate but he's either too canny or too oblivious to follow her lead. In the early episodes they battle the "monster-of-the-week," but the later episodes have a bit more plot. Mostly I like this show for the interplay between Ryoko and Jun and for the great OP that is an homage to the Maurice Binder openings for the early Bond movies. Dennou Coil - The kids are only ten in this story about a city enveloped in a virtual reality that can only be seen with special glasses. They are memorable characters, though, particularly Kuwashima Houko's "Isako." One of my top-five shows. Mahou Shoujotai Arusu - Another beautifully-made show for kids about a girl Arusu ("Alice") who falls off a roof into a magical world a la Alice in Wonderland. While Arusu believes magic should be a force for good in the world, she soon discovers it can be put to darker ends. Kuwashima stars in this one, too, as the oldest of the young witch trio, Sheila. Finally I'll suggest plucky Haruka from Noein. She's at the nexus of a war between "parallel universes." Sometimes I find her too calm given what's going on around her, but that's a minor quibble. While she's a heroine, she's also a twelve-year-old girl. One episode about her desire to reunite her divorced parents is especially touching. |

Ive seen most of them with the exception of noein although it seems familiar =p Ill try noein and will try arusu again since I sort of stopped watching part way through the anime and decided to drop it (Been a while so I dont remember why I did that). As always thanks for all the recommendation ^v^ PS: sorry for not mentioning dennou coil in my previous reply since you had already mentioned it =p |
