| idk there's a lot of strong female characters in anime, they're just not looking properly |
| I think those people just aren't watching the right anime. It's like going to the desert and claiming that the world has a severe lack of fresh drinking water, giving your surroundings as proof. Sure, if you're only watching shounen shit then you're going to rarely find any strong or good female characters, but if you watch anime that are based around female characters you'll find a lot of good ones. |

| But who is the most powerful. From the lists I see they aren't even close to the most powerful male characters like one punch man. https://gamerant.com/shonen-anime-most-powerful-female-characters/ |

| For me, the best female protagonist are from seinen genre. Black Lagoon, Rin, Phantom Requiem, Noir, Gunslinger Girls and the likes. I wish more of them are made today but with the way they’re portrayed these days (mental disability and act like a child), it will be ruined. |

I think there are obvious reasons why we don't get many muscular girls in anime. It's very common for there to be metaphorically strong female characters and female characters who have crazy high levels of magic, letting do a lot of damage to their opponents, but muscular females are definitely a rarity, although I can't imagine that many people would be into them.zombie_pegasus said: I think those people just aren't watching the right anime.

| There are more male characters that well developed than female characters in anime. But at the same time a lot of the male characters are generic, self insert or are very similar to other male characters like shounen MCs. But there are still plenty of great well developed female characters. |
| I don’t like strong female characters in TV shows. I like girls the way they should be, dainty, cute, damsels in distress. |

Man, such people consider it an achievement if there are no male characters in the show or romance is kept to a minimum. Even SoL's simps don't rate any all-female content that high. |

I find it funny that you said it, considering you have her on your favorite character list.I know it’s trendy to think that a girl in love with a male character cannot be considered strong and well developed, but were heroines like Asuka, Shana, Rin or Saber poorly written and developed? |

What exactly surprises you? There is too little context in your comment. |

| I always seem to find these complaints in the more mainstream shounen communities, which says a lot lol. Some people can't even bother trying to look to the right stuff before making overblown complaints, and I swear some just don't even want to acknowledge things. It was hilarious seeing JJK treated by some like it was seriously changing the game for having competent female characters or "no fanservice," with the latter complaint really having a narrow scope on what fanservice is lmao. |

| I'd love to see more. Probably just my transfem ass wanting to see more protagonists I can relate to considering a lot of the things I watch tend to have male protagonists |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |

Probably just my transfem ass wanting to see more protagonists I can relate to considering a lot of the things I watch tend to have male protagonists I'm always left a bit confused when people say they want to see more protagonist/characters they can relate too reffering to the characters having the same gender as them ??? Don't know, maybe i never understood this point of view 'cause even though i'm female most of the characters i can relate to are male |
| What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2 That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol |
| If you define "strong" with typically masculine traits, not many women will fit. |
| Here we go again same thing in new package |
| pre 2010 anime series usually depicted strong/overpowering female leads sometimes stronger than the male leads. Still happens now but it's covered up by wholesome rom-coms |
