I’m actually planning my one video recommending Shonen anime/manga with great female characters. Also Fuuko was also my main inspiration for that video too 😊 Nice video
And the good thing is, female main characters like Asa from Chainsaw Man and Sagiri from Hell’s Paradise are way better written than the ones in western media of today’s generation. Plus both Asa and Sagiri aren’t useless like Karin from Naruto, Ellie from Synduality Noir and Fena from Pirate Princess.
I mean, I think we are saying the same thing. New gen anime is amazingly written and also has some great female main characters. Frieren is another amazing female MC and did a whole video on the frieren anime. I did say these were my favorites but I know there are more 🤗 so thanks for mentioning Frieren in the comments. I would even add Fern as a secondary MC
@@itsanimel well what you're saying now is quite a bit different from your title. But I guess that's just good clickbait. Did get me to click on the vid. I guess we can say they finally figured how to write good characters who are female but their character doesn't revolve around that one thing. Though I think anime always had that kind of down. Not something you can say for Hollywood yet.
@@blutoo1363 I do want to emphasize that maybe isnt come across well is a surge in female MCs in action new gen anime vs female characters over all. There are plenty of other anime in history that have great female characters but they aren't the main characters in some of these stories. Thanks for watching and I hope my points in the video come across as I've described in my comments and video description. Thanks for commenting and engaging
Binbougami ga, Sousou No Frieren, Claymore, Psycho Pass are the only good anime I recall with an actual female MC. There is also Black Lagoon and that one Bahamut something with a female strategist MC. Sure we could count something like Sailor Moon too. Fruits Basket is shit however most Shoujo anime are just bad.
You're missing maomao! I do agree with the message of the vid tho, I also have the feeling that good female MCs are much more prevalent now. I also agree with some of the comments about good writing, but I think that these can acompany eachother. Now that anime is becoming much more mainstream, we see that both the quality and quantity of anime increases. And since they're looking for new stories it is easier to grab women MCs, since that perspective is still quite uncommon. Also watch 7th time loop, normally the MC in villainess stories are quite bland, but this one was great. Also you didn't deserve this like-dislike ratio...
I think the split is like 30% female mcs to 70% male mcs. What is becoming more comon however are multiple main character anime and those tend to have both male ans female lead characters. Female mc's dont really run the industry yet.
Nobara is very charismatic, but not really exceptionally well written. She died in the first major arc, which severely cuts off her potential. However, Maki is a great example of a very well written character. Maki actually have a complete and satisfying arc.
@@daniellevi7012 Eh i think that's a bit shallow. Nobara was built up REALLY well in the time we had her. Just cuz a character dies doesn't mean we lost all the time we had with them before, same as Nanami. Both are REALLY well written.
Yes and you know so far I've been enjoying most of them. All because these female leads aren't shining because the men around them are made incompetent or evil. But by telling interesting stories, making strength of their personalities and abilities. They shine thanks to a great story not because "heh heh tittas"
The only female "anime MC" on this list is fuuko... and shes hella lame. New gen anime is run by amazing authors, nothing to do with the female characters, theres also been plenty of good female characters in older animes. Anime will tbh always be ruled by male MC's because that's what is popular, if you want female stuff go watch shoujo
I mean, yes a lot of the other characters are manga only right now. Dandadan will be anime in October so perhaps I should have retitled this video. Fuuko in the manga has grown to be a fantastic character and I personally love her but I'd love to hear who your favorite female main characters in anime are. There are older anime with great female characters, but not female main characters which is the distinction here. And this video isnt meant to be like "women MCs are the only reason" new gen anime is running it. Some new gen has great writing, they are unique in some of them. Shoujo is a target at "young women" considering what shoujo means but Shonen being for young men is something they created but doesn't mean it's "exclusive" right? Men watch shoujo. And the idea of Shonen and shoujo also means young women and men aka boys and girls so that also means Shonen and shoujo are not for adults if that is what you're indicating in your comment.
@@itsanimel I dont know a lot of animes with female MC bcs i dont watchit, just yona of the dawn and sailor moon. Also im not indicating that adults cant watch shoujo or shonen just that shoujo got way more female MC's which your vid is about so why not just go watch that?
@@kathycoleman4648 Dont comment if you're gonna bring in negativity for no reason. Shoujo is not a subgenre, it's a demographic a long with shonen, seinen, josei and kodomomuke. It seems like you should take your own advice before commenting.
Oh! Thanks for mentioning maomao ! I love her and is a boss. Great add. I didn't forget her and know I didn't mention all the greats in this video but acknowledge there are many many more.
taking over? this is nothing new. strong, funny, wise, smart female leads have been standard in anime. not just romance anime, action and horror have their well liked female leads as well. get your facts correct. this is standard practise for japan. hollywood is trying to catch up, in the worst way possible.

@@itsanimel why call it new gen? anime is classified by season and year. exemple, winter 2020. that is when they are released. the manga or light novel could be 4 years old by the time of the anime release. some even older. anime rarely goes seperate from sorce material. one that did would be rosario cross vampire (read the manga, way better) that was one of the latest that did. between japanse film indestry and westen film industry. western film indestry sucks atm. forgive me for making it sound like i dissagree to you. Gekai Elise (anime) lady with the lamp (manga) allow me to give you this as a peace offrering great read, doesn't ruin watching the anime.
You're always sharing such great anime facts! Hand stand was clean 🫧 lol

How the fuck is this recommended. New gen is ruled by crazy good writing. Frieren is a goat anime. Mc is awesome and himmel is literally him

@jeanbob1481 I enjoy Frieren and Claymore and their MCs. Thanks for chiming in and sharing.
I haven't seen much discussion on this topic video, nice video

I need to catch up on Chainsaw Man and Undead Unluck expeditiously😮💨
Both stories have picked up pace in a great way !
🤣🤣 handstand intro is crazy 🙌🏾
Always looking for new ways to shock you all 😂

Female mc's dont really run the industry yet.
it's like you people dont watch anime
I know youre talking new gen but Claymore is probably one of my fave mangas with a main cast of women only.
i though they were already main/shared Main characters since at the very least the 1990s, Sailormoon Cardcaptor Sakura, Inu Yasha, Black Lagoon,
I mean for sure. This isn't a new concept. After all the comments, I realize I should have made it a lot clearer
Hey bro what characters where in the thumbnail and what anime are they from
From left to right: Mitaka Asa from Chainsaw Man Part II manga, Sagiri from Hell's Paradise, Izumo Fuuko from Undead Unluck
@@itsanimel thanks homie
Just can’t get into Chainsaw Man idk why. So never got into the storyline. But Hells paradise is a show have been dying to watch
Hells paradise is a lot of fun! I would check it out
Great list Mel! Always looking forward to your analysis of shows and characters! Keep it up!
Thanks for watching ! 🙏🏽
Buen video
what about nobara?
Nobara is very charismatic, but not really exceptionally well written. She died in the first major arc, which severely cuts off her potential. However, Maki is a great example of a very well written character. Maki actually have a complete and satisfying arc.

Shoujo is a subgenre of anime. If you're going to sound insufferable, at least make sure you know what you're talking about first.

Fuuko is straight-up just Luffy with a brain. Which is a delight, and i enjoy it immensely.
No maomao? Apothecary diaries? Hello?
Oh! Thanks for mentioning maomao ! I love her and is a boss. Great add. I didn't forget her and know I didn't mention all the greats in this video but acknowledge there are many many more.
Get a better mic and you gonna blow up
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I hope you dont get a lot of undeserved hate from basement dwellers
Appreciate it. I think it comes with the territory of putting yourself out there online.
Hey! Some of us live in the attic!
solo leveling mashle and jjk>>>
That why sukuna is based for what he did on women's day
taking over?
this is nothing new.
strong, funny, wise, smart female leads have been standard in anime.
not just romance anime, action and horror have their well liked female leads as well.
get your facts correct.
this is standard practise for japan.
hollywood is trying to catch up, in the worst way possible.
This video is specific about my fav new gen anime women if you watch the video through as I do mention that they have come in the past in other anime and that this video is also specifically to women in a main character role. Thanks for engaging and watching 🤗
@@itsanimel why call it new gen?
anime is classified by season and year.
exemple, winter 2020.
that is when they are released.
the manga or light novel could be 4 years old by the time of the anime release.
some even older.
anime rarely goes seperate from sorce material.
one that did would be rosario cross vampire (read the manga, way better)
that was one of the latest that did.
between japanse film indestry and westen film industry.
western film indestry sucks atm.
forgive me for making it sound like i dissagree to you.
Gekai Elise (anime)
lady with the lamp (manga)
allow me to give you this as a peace offrering
great read, doesn't ruin watching the anime.
I hope the incels don't come after this video.
I’m an incel and I’m only disappointed the fact that maomao isn’t here so im disliking
I mean....we can't please everyone and the Internet is like this. It is what it is..
@@itsanimel Read RuriDragon
It's on my list! Thanks for suggesting!
you don't even know what that word means
I honestly just want people to read the japanese manga scene directly before they make remarks.But okay.
