| N.etorare T.echnical R.esearcher |
| well at least it isn't two male leads, it doesn't even matter so long as it's not that |
 |
| I think you should really stop creating harem threads. Anime has a lot of things to offer, you must be living an awful life, OP. |

| I'd rather not see more uninspired Isekai stuff. But I don't see how having a female MC would make it better. |
| Yeah, I would like that. Especially since Isekai started as a genre in the 90's-early 2000's that had a female protagonist. Like: InuYasha, The Vision of Escaflowne, The Twelve Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres, Harukanaru etc. I would especially like a continuation to The Twelve Kingdoms, no romance or harem stuff, a great female lead with a lot of emotional and psychological development, sword fights, fantastical creatures and setting, political intrigue, themes like war, the responsibility of being a leader, the decline of social status etc. |

NihilisticLoner said: Kind of went on an unnecessary tangent there... Hell yeah, I want more Isekai anime with female protagonists. But at the same time, I'm skeptical, because all female protagonists I've seen in anime, are annoyingly timid and weak. ALL? ALL? Have you heard of Revy from Black Lagoon? Or Balsa from Seirei no Moribito? Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell? Maka Albarn from Soul Eater? Lina Inverse from Slayers? Ryuuko from Kill la Kill? Utena from Revolutionary Girl Utena? Shiki Ryougi from Kara no Kyoukai? Youko from The Twelve Kingdoms? Clare from Claymore? Éclair from Kiddy Grade? Canaan from Canaan? Kino from Kino's Journey? Rosette from Chrno Crusade? Oscar from The Rose of Versailles? Michiko from Michiko to Hatchin? Misaka from A Certain Scientific Railgun? Nausicaä from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind? Koko Hekmatyar from Jormungand? etc etc It's obvious you haven't seen enough anime kiddo, so watch more of it before you talk out of your ass. The names I listed are a good start. |
| If it's anything like Kanata Kara then no thanks. I'd rather see a heroine deal with her own world's problems. |

NihilisticLoner said: Those are all anime that are geared towards a male audience; naturally the female protagonists will be competent. Also, nearly all those female leads are boring, either being edgelords or too stoic (I haven't seen ALL of the anime you've listed). You contradict yourself lol. You yourself said you haven't seen all the anime series I've listed, so talk after that. Also geared towards a male audience? Other nonsense, while some of them are, anime series like Kill la Kill, Soul Eater, Kara no Kyoukai, Claymore, Kino's Journey are popular both with men and women. Michiko to Hatchin is targeted towards a mature female audience, the anime director is a female herself. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is popular with both genders because it’s a movie for a general audience, it’s a Ghibli movie for god’s sake. Being geared towards and being popular with a certain demographic are two different things. For example the cartoon Young Justice was geared towards teenage boys but more girls ended up watching it. Btw, some of the anime I listed are targeted towards a female audience: Revolutionary Girl Utena and The Rose of Versailles have in their genre tags Shoujo so joke's on you. Also, both Seirei no Moribito and The Twelve Kingdoms are adapted from books written by female writers that wrote for a general audience, not for a specific gender. Again, if you don't know something, keep it to yourself. I really don’t understand where this „targeted towards a male audience” came from. You said: NihilisticLoner said: I'm skeptical, because all female protagonists I've seen in anime, are annoyingly timid and weak. You didn’t say „all female protagonists from anime targeted towards a female audience” you said „all female protagonists”. ALL. So don’t try to twist it around. NihilisticLoner said: From my memory, every anime I have ever seen geared towards a female audience, stars a bland, naieve, stupid, incompetent, female protagonist, with even blander designs. Nah, it’s okay fam, I’ve got you. There are plenty of shows geared towards a female audience with cool, productive, interesting female characters with a distinct personality. I can name off the top of my head: Haruhi from Ouran Highschool Host Club, trust me, it’s good. Chihaya from Chihayafuru (the anime is great, you gotta watch it if you haven’t already). Chihaya is passionate, determined, stubborn, charismatic, a good leader, she’s inspirational and optimistic, she’s great. Kumiko from Gokusen, Kyouko from Skip Beat, Risa from Lovely Complex, Shizuku from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Sunako from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Yona from Akatsuki no Yona, Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke, Chise from The Ancient Magus' Bride, Shirayuki from Akagami no Shirayukihime, Kajika from Hanasakeru Seishonen, Yukino from His and Her Circumstances, Nodame from Nodame Cantabile (yep, she can be kinda stupid sometimes but she’s also a music genius and it’s part of her charm, not a weakness, she’s brimming with personality, so that makes up for it), Nana Osaki from Nana, Tsukimi from Kuragehime (she’s a loveable nerd). And of course the aforementioned Utena from Revolutionary Girl Utena and Oscar from The Rose of Versailles. There’s also Tooru Honda, I have a soft spot for her, she doesn’t get to shine in the anime as much as she does in the manga, because they've adapted only the first part of the manga. If you read the manga, you’ll understand why I have a soft spot for Tooru. She went through tragedy but still keeps a cheerful and positive attitude. But you’ll later see it’s gets painful for her to always seem cheerful. Hope it’s enough ^^ You have a lot to watch from what senpai recommended you. NihilisticLoner said: I feel hopeful about stories starring female protagonists... When it's NOT in anime. I can name so many male characters at the top of my head that I could probably put in my favorites list, male characters that hit every spot of being cool, badass, fun, and charming, but I don't have any female main characters. That's why I'm so skeptical about more isekai anime coming out with female protagonists: because the authors are horny shut-in males like me who will probably never write a female protagonist as interesting as, say, Guts, or hell, even Thorfinn. If we have female writers like Uehashi Nahoko (Seirei no Moribito) and Ono Fuyumi (The Twelve Kingdoms) then you can expect it's going to be high quality characterization for all characters, especially the female protagonists and no horny shut-in nonsense. Yeah, Thorfinn is one of my favorite characters as well. A very interesting female character on par with them (Guts and Thorfinn) is Balalaika from Black Lagoon, she's great <3 Unfortunately, she isn't the protagonist of the series. Akemi Homura from Madoka Magica is another great female character and even if she’s not the protagonist in the anime, she’s the protagonist in the movie Rebellion. But Youko from 12 kingdoms has some of the best character development for female characters in all of anime and she's the protagonist. The anime is also an isekai, you gotta watch it. You'll understand why I want a continuation of it. She starts off weak but at the end of the anime she's a total badass. Shame they didn't adapt more books >.< Balsa from Seirei no Moribito is also very interesting, except she’s already formed as a person at the start of the anime/novel series being in her 20’s-30’s. In contrast with Youko who is a teenager at the start and has a more complex character arc in which she forms her character. It’s not like Balsa doesn’t have a character arc as well, it has to do with her bonding with the second main character which she has to protect (you’ll know what I mean if you watch it). Another female protagonist that isn’t sexualized for a shut-in like you lol, is Maka Albarn from Soul Eater who is the most complex character in the entire series in my opinion. She has the most inner conflicts and obstacles to overcome and is the most fleashed-out and realistic of the bunch. NihilisticLoner said: You can check my completed list for proof of how many anime I've completed... Though it's nothing compared to a lot of others' lists. Yeah, I’ve checked it, you’ve watched a lot of anime, but it’s still less than me. So listen to senpai for the anime with great female characters/protagonists. |
| So long as there's no harem. Harem in general are trash. |
 |
| "Isekai" has changed, and the male audience is kinda dominating anime and LNs. Ripperoni pepperoni, men suck ass at being an audience. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
NihilisticLoner said: @HotaruKara Now think about it for a minute: light novel isekai adaptations have a reputation for sucking, right? If there's an isekai light novel adaptation starring a female protagonist, but written by a male author (which is really likely), the chances of that character being boring or, "Yeah, she's fine, I guess" is extremely high. Yeah, I've been fearing that as well. That's why I said my ideal option would be a rebooted anime or a continuation of 12 kingdoms/Juuni Kokuki. Maybe there would have been a rare chance to get an actual good isekai light novel adaptation with a female protagonist if the writer were competent enough. Getting a non-light novel writer would have been the ideal situation. Sorry for putting you in a bad mood, it wasn't my intention. You don't often find someone on youtube comments that apologies. You yourself admitted your mistake for generalising ALL female protagonists, so you deserved it. |
| I mean at least this year the first example that comes to mind is Re:Creators which a primary focus was on 2 female characters who came from separate worlds. As for would I want more of it I don't care, because the gender of the main character (especially since most shows have multiple main characters) has no bearing on how much I'll enjoy a show even remotely. |

You yourself admitted your mistake for generalising ALL female protagonists, so you deserved it. I don't understand your viewpoint there. Wouldn't a new adaptation be more interesting than a reboot? I haven't finished 12 Kingdoms, but people who've watched it seem to love it. The reboot for 12 Kingdoms (but in the format of Hunter x Hunter and FMA Brotherhood that also add source material that has been written since the anime ended) would be better than something that has a high chance to be mediocre like a new light novel adaptation. It's up to you if you want to finish it or not. For me it started getting really interesting on episode 7, when Youko confronted the spirit of her sword, Aozaru. |
| If that is what it takes to get isekais away from the male vessel MC, then so be it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sure I don't care much about the gender of the MC since I tend to like side/supporting characters more. Although it could be a perfect breeding ground for more shows with darker undertones and I just happen to know someone who recently got into that kind of stuff. |
 |
| Sure. As long as the story and the characters are amazing and worth watching. |
 |
| No, I never want to see another isekai period. |
| no. Adding women in things do not make them interesting lol. |

| Why specifically an isekai anime? I don't get why would someone specifically want an anime to be an isekai Isekai is just a premise! Most of the time has little to no bearing to how an anime actually is. What it entails is likely just a short introduction where the main character is transported to another world and an excuse to dump exposition on the main character (and the viewer) because he is a clueless person from our world. |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| No. Female protagonists are very hit or miss with me with it usually being a miss, and I just hate Isekai in general. |
| Isekai is a shit either way without any actual effort puts into it especially most of isekai writers are sucks terrible on the writings. So probably now is not a best time to discuss about isekai shit especially when the story always been about reincarnated, overpowered,mmorpg. Female or male i don't give a fk as long it is entertaining but the problem it wasn't because isekai formula literally the same. |
| If it's something like Juuni Kokuki or Fushigi Yuugi then I'd definitely love to have more but if it's like the more recent ones like Sengoku Night Blood with a characterless boring female MC who just kept on getting kidnapped by all of her potential love interests one-by-one then no thanks. But I don't like the whole thing about suddenly gaining powers and even conveniently being able to control and use them at will despite not having any experience. MCs either slowly discovering and learning about them or maybe having sudden outbursts in critical situations without being able to control them is more interesting. |
| I only watched the first two ep but i'm pretty sure this counts https://myanimelist.net/anime/35251/Sengoku_Night_Blood |
I'm a shitposter for fun |
| I don't think it would hurt the sub-genre, at least no more than titles like Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni, but also doesn't personally appeal to me and don't think it would be as popular amongst the male fandom, as evidence presented thus far seems to suggest. Would be nice to get some representation for female anime fans though. Especially given the roots of the Isekai sub-genre, as OP mentioned. (Even Youjo Senki was a dude who got reincarnated lol... Goddamn men, stealing all the women's jobs, amirite?) Far more important is the context for which Isekai takes place. It's not hard to think of imaginative concepts for another world which you are literally inventing, but so many light novelists are amateurs who just want to play out their personal power fantasy. Which is fine and all, but we have a dime a dozen of them. |

| Only featured male mc? What is Youjo senki (2017) if not an isekai with female MC? Also if you're going to give examples, give good ones which have a LN version, are popular, are indeed different, and have a real chance of getting an anime, like Honzuki no gekokujou. |
 |
I mean... The main character is literally a man in a girl's body. Just to make it so that the male fandom still gets their self-insert. That's fairly damning of the sub-genre as a whole. |
