No ecchi

Soul Eater (slight ecchi)
Chihayafuru (is pretty good)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (idk whether to call the female the main character though)
Psycho-Pass (maybe...)
Tamako Market ( is also pretty good)


All of these have a female main characther or one of the main characters are female

Then I'll recommend currently airing instead.

Osomatsu-san (if you like gags)
Subete ga F
Sakurako-san.

Anyway, nice signature, you made it? You're GFXer too?

Castle in the Sky.

Oh oops you said first episode and Castle in the Sky is a movie. xD My bad...still a good movie worth watching though. It includes all those bonuses though.

+1 for Chihayafuru from me as well. Though it took me around 7 episode to really start liking it, but after that it only kept getting better

Chihayafuru has a pretty dull first couple episodes I don't remember being hooked it is a good show though.
Same with cross game which I gave a 8 or 9.
The best first ep for addiction with a female lead that I recall is koutouro san, but the rest of the series didn't support it as well as I would have liked.

Blood-c if your one of those wtf just happend gotta find out by watching the entire series type of people

Fate/stay/night unlimited blade works unless your one of those type of people who cant enjoy a anime unless lots of of heart breaking character deaths are in it

Not really female lead but if your into sorta gruesome(not really) deaths then parasyte the maxim

Grisaia no kajitsu should not really be ecchi unless you watch the uncensored version

+1 mirai nikki totally agree

Didnt see the blue exorist movie on your list so that should should be next
This is my dark side (Enjoy)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, 2012, definitely.

If that's too "manly" or something, Baccano! is also great. A bunch of information is witheld from you for lots of the show, but that doesn't really count as making the viewer feel stupid imo.

Probably since you're watching Arslan right now, Akatsuki no Yona
