This is something even I am upset about. Sure there are animes where female characters have strong roles, whether that be as a protagonist (like Ryuko Kill La Kill) or side characters. But I feel as though there needs to be more female protagonists who are strong, dependable, and maybe even completely badass, or maybe have something calm and fun like Lucky Star, rather than having female characters like Sakura from Naruto in almost literally every anime.
And keep in mind this is coming from a guy.
