No, its really good but no. I would say gintama has the best female cast in shonen. The fact that Most female fmab voice actresses also worked on Gintama was always reminding me of this too. Riza is great, but Kyubei is better. I loved Mei Chang, but Kagura is miles better and enjoyable. Fmab got some good female badasses like Izumi and Lan Fan. Gintama got Nobume, Tsukuyo, Mutsu being great badasses with good backstories. I felt like Winry was one of the more average characters in Fmab. Not bad, but certainly not on the level of Riza, Envy and Mei


Thanks for you aport . I havent watched gintama, i only start the manga and literally on chapter 20... i like kagura so far, is my favorite hahahah , i have no idea who are the rest you mention, but glasses dude sister is wild , funny as well xD
Man, I love Kagura, she definitely is my favorite kid character. Yah, don't worry about them other girls for the moment, they come later. I like Tae, Shin sister, too, but for me she was the worse from the recurring female cast. I would advice you to watch the anime tho, the voice acting is stellar and the fights, when they come, are very well animated.

Black Clover feminine presence and developmemt is FAR BETTER

Most of the black clover characters are fan-service though and the strongest characters are all male. Hiromu Arakawa created better back-stories and personalities for the the female characters then shown in Black Clover.

Thanks for bringing another argument , since i never watched black cover i couldnt answer againts that ... i would believe your word since i was looking at the reviews on season one (the one score around 7,32) and many people scored it low cuz of the characters, being the main issue the prota, i dont like to generalized but if MC is annoying female cast is mostly fanservice and harem trouphes that love the mc just becuase (idk, i havent watched it)

Thats exactly the type of shonen protagonist that i dont like hahahHhah, the fanservice ones , the personalities and goals on the female cast of fmab is what make them special, not the need for being the strongest, is their place on the story where they are needed, important in the story not only a decor or a love interest. They have roles :3

Gintama and Black Clover have way better female character than FMAB.

This is the answer. I would also like to add Bleach has a few good ones too.

I would recommend that you watch the Anime. The voice actors are top notch and really bring the jokes to life. The Anime is amazing and the soundtracks and openings are really good as well.
Read One Piece. Watch Gintama

Yeah that's what makes Fullmetal Alchemist my favourite anime but I still would recommend Black Clover. Although the female characters are better in Fullmetal Alchemist, there's still a lot of characters you can't overlook in Black Clover like: Charlotte, Mereoleona, Vanessa and Loropechika.

Definitely not. While FMAB is very polished, female characters in it are mediocre at best in general.

That would be such a claim to make lol. There's just too many shounen out there, and all sorts of female characters.

Also, Claymore exists, so...

I gave the option to vote no, also my original post is a question... so why so defensive in your reply??

People have oppinions, and i want to read them... why mock when you can convey your oppinion diffently ??

Now i will reply to you, i havent watched claimore, but i have it on plan to watch since long time since a friend on mime told me is like a dark fantasy... i like fantasy.

I edit the question

I have to, since i realised people dont read the rest of the thread before comenting again.

This post was originally made to talk about, how well written the characters were in comparison to other battle shonen out there .

People keep bringing other genres here, and thats not the point, who compares a puddin with a lassagna ???
There is thousands of shounens out there, not all of them are battle shounens, most are even cooking shounens, drawing shonens, slice of life shounens... please, this forum post is about only battle shounen genre. This post was never "who are your favorite females ever!" , again was my fault for not putinf the battle there ...sorry.

I really want to make another poll since now voting is weird, people vote different genres, but im lazy

I have no idea what you took away from my post, but you're definitely taking away too much lol. I just simply said how I felt about that big claim.

Also, yeah, definitely go watch/read Claymore some time if you haven't.

One of the best definetly, since most battle-shounen is bad in this department.
They are good both in characterization and matter all the way from start till the end.

I would say FMA has the best well-rounded cast as far as gender goes, there's really no distinction. However most of the memorable characters of the story are the males (obviously though, it was written for boys), so that's probably why a lot of people are having a hard time giving you an answer, specially since a lot of us watched this anime a long time ago.

I do not consider them that good though I like the kung fu loli. Winry is very meh and does not do much besides be a love interest for Ed. Lust was pretty good in the 2003 adaptation. She was trash in Brotherhood.

I would say yes. Jujutsu Kaisen has really great female characters too.

Also, why are you guys voting no? Is this the work of AOT fanboys.

also think that, cuz a strong female xharacter doesnt mean that has to be strong in powers/ magic, thats why some people call their favorite waifu and when i see that as objective as i can i see another generic female with no other redeem qualities that being there for either be an eye candy or be in love with the male prota T.T

Thats why i like females here, they all have goals and oppinions, and a role in the narrative :3

But i know therr are other shows here and there with good females too, but most arent battle shonens xD

Full metal alchemist women are not best but they are clearly good
FMAB shines -
Riza Hawkeye
Olivier Mira Armstrong
winry rockbell

FMA shines (probably female cast which i less prefer)-
Izumi Curtis
Lust

Also Naruto has many good female character (hinata is my favorite). like tenmari, konan, Kurenai, Tsunade, kushina, mei etc. U think Kishimoto don't know how to write a female character...lol (his character are the ones who could be both loved and hated and create more reaction)

I do agree Fmab mangaka has a finer touch on women character in general. But that's about it, its not that special. Her male characters are more better than female character overall.(check her other works, u will know what I am saying)



Havent check her other works, i will, but yeah i agree her males protas are amazing, thats why i have roy mustang in my all time favorites hahahaha

Anyway i was trying to focus on females cuz later i been watching new shonens (expect for jujutsu kaisen those females are coooooool ) and i find that anime now make waifus, not longer female cast BUT waifus , i hope you get my point xD

Thats for your point of view ;)
