Hello everyone. To get to the point, ive been dying to watch a good anime with a female protagonist for quite some time now. However, most of the series ive checked out havent sufficed my tastes. Below, you'll find a decent list of shows I have enjoyed, and shows I havent enjoyed, both with male and female leads. Below that, you will find characters that I have enjoyed and havent enjoyed, just to give everyone a bit of perspective before they make a suggestion. There is one rule however; I dislike anime like Highschool DxD where all the girls are essentially dick-hungry for the shitty male lead, or any other type of anime that has a male lead with a female co-lead. I dont care how epic the girl is, the fact that there is a male lead at all bothers me (Medaka Box is an exception because Zenkichi was actually useful and decently skilled.) Ive seen so many anime with a male lead and frankly, im sick of 'em. Also, anything with yuri gets extra points. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions you have!
Well, there you are! Thanks again for any suggestions!
