A strong character is not infallible but one with flaws, internal conflicts, agency, etc. By your logic Rey from the new star wars trilogy is a strong female character.
Matthew Jackson
So asuka?
I always though asuka was strong not because of fighting but because despite having a shitty past she always strived to self improve and become the best.
Adam Carter
Was Asuka mc though?
Levi Hughes
Why can't Japs into strong male main characters? The beta MC problem needs solved
Luke Brown
why can't japs into mc in general? the shity self inser mc problem needs solved
Samuel Johnson
best stronk female character
Ian Jenkins
Define what is a strong female character first
Adam Edwards
>strong female characters
Explain how they aren't examples. They're capable and intelligent, if flawed
Mary stu =/ strong
Jason Nelson
I don't understand your point. You've seen one anime and don't like it?
Cameron Cruz
OP probably means an infallible, western-style whore
Mason Howard
You are truly a man of taste, my good sir

Hakunon was a strong woman who could stand on her own

You should tell that to female fans.
They only want romance.
Example, Kill LA kill have more males fans than females

fuck that shit, I went through netflix and like 80% of the shows there had "le strong female lead character" in the description and they all SUCK
if you want that go watch western shit, stay the fuck out of anime
John Howard
you could argue for it, i suppose
Nicholas Barnes
Zachary Baker
Ange is the only good one.
Gavin Mitchell
Fucking /thread.
Daniel Mitchell
Jaxon Gomez
Ive very rarely seen a weak female main character
Isaac Bennett
Ghibli women. Nausica, Lady Eboshi, San, Sophie Hatter etc.
Hunter Jenkins
What if you just took a male character in a dumb action anime and made him a girl? With the same old punching really hard, cuts all over, ends up shirtless at the end, stuff like that.
Grayson Bell
Mugi not MC. Yui is.
shit. Mugi ain't even most popular girl. Mio is.
Alexander Hill
Then Panty from P&SwG.
David Ward

What a role model.
Kayden Martin
what are you on about, m8
David Peterson
>Mugi not MC. Yui is.
I'd argue that all of ktt are main characters but fair, also this thread is stupid strong female leads don't automatically make things good
Easton Clark
>Character revolves around wanting some dude's dick
Gavin Lewis
oh, right my bad.
Rico is emotionally strong
MC from pricess principal, utena?
Cameron Jackson
Hope you are not putting misaka for consideration because she has become the helpless princeess way to many times
Luis Gonzalez
Alita from gunnm
Justin Torres
Because all you read/watch are manga/anime aimed at young boys that don't want their female characters to be anything other than eye candy.
Dylan Ortiz
I'll admit that it's pretty disapointing how little emphasis the Japanese put on diversity. Anime has potential to be alot better

>edgy little edgelord who's shittiest rank without stolen arm and cap tier team worker
Maybe Mira or Teresa, but they aren't MC.
Camden Torres
To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind more foreign stuff. JoJo was shocking because it has a foreign protagonist, and modern Japan as a setting can get boring.
Joseph Williams
>it's pretty disapointing how little emphasis the Japanese put on diversity
That's because there isn't too much diversity in Japan to begin with, Why would they make anime for people out of their main market? And when they have done that it have never turned out well.
Adam Peterson
Is this a rec thread?
Aiden Walker
>misaka
>strong
Literally happy go lucky shit who gets her ass saved by level 0 when she herself is lvl 5. Bitch gets wrecked all the time and needs like 999999 nakamas or toeman to bail her out every time.
Leo King
>Homura
>strong
>Madoka has to save her ass
>gets corrupted and fucks everything up in the movie
No
Hunter Gomez
This.
Leo Jenkins
Diversity is a western invention. Literally no one outside of western Europe, the US and Canada gives a shit about it.
Aaron Moore
Wrong redhead.
Colton Sullivan
Maybe not the MC but the protagonist. Even with her backstory shit she still dominates.
Evan Howard
this. strength is eventually going ahead with it despite your flaws.
if you never encounter any real obstacle, there was no challenge for you to overcome
Jacob Ross
>using bait picture from when KLK ws airing
Ahaha
Ryuuko and Satsuki are both stong female characters, as well as many of the supporting cast of KLK. I mean shit all of the stronger characters were females.
Andrew Cooper
It's not impossible
Xavier Adams
Why are readhead so best?
Elijah Richardson
What's cool about Araki is that it comes out of genuine interest. No one forced him. He just has a passion for integrating other cultures into his story and travels often.
Michael Rivera
>hey our society tends to feed our children to mutant cats if they are just a tiny bit different from the norm
>let's have some babies!
yeah no
Joshua Powell
Araki is just a westaboo.
Camden Richardson
Except that by that point she is incharge of said society.
Connor Gomez
Because they don't exist.
Benjamin Perry

She was a horrible dumb bitch and she got what she deserved for it
Brayden Johnson
pretty sure at the end she just says she hopes for the best.
Tyler Howard
Adrian Jenkins
Sup?
Josiah Mitchell
She might not be the strongest but she faced alot things in her life and she has a dragon to save her from any danger
Carson Cruz
Natsuo from teppu
Ian Gutierrez
Don't disagree.
Jonathan Diaz
Satsuki maybe. Ryuuko is an edgy little shit.
Jackson Evans
Its a universal problem in fiction. English media is no better than Japanese media.
The underlying problem is that women are not strong, so any attempt to write strong women is rejected by the subconscious.
Jayden Morgan
Saki and Satoru are shown taking care of the cats at the end. If someone wants to use the cats they would have to get their permission first.
Aaron Williams

That's because emphasizing diversity is pointless. Crafting a story and it calling for certain characters is great. Look at for example. An Indian, a Japanese, a British-American, and a Half Japanese, quarter Italian, quarter British-American MC, who is also joined by a Frenchman and a dog travelling through Asia, India, and the Middle east. But none of it felt forced. There weren't any 'diversity boxes to check off'. It flowed naturally and produced a diverse cast that didn't detract from the story. Diversity for the sake of diversity defeats the purpose of it entirely. There's no editor to ask him to drop a black character or a hispanic character because the author felt the story didn't need it. Also what said. There's very little diversity in Japan besides regional dialects/people to where there's no market to grab and it would be pointless. It's like Uganda having a diverse cast of 1 asian, 1 hispanic, 1 african, 1 white, 1 indian, 1 middle eastern, etc etc. It's pointless.
Carson Watson
We need more WMMA manga real bad
Liam Murphy
What's your definition of 'strong'? Cause I can think of male MCs that do the same shit Ryuuko did and are perceived as a strong lead. Simon from Gurren Lagann is one example. He was depressed and couldn't move forward while others did for a few episodes, then he snapped out of it and came out stronger. Being infallible and never making mistakes isn't 'strong', it's Mary Sue garbage.
Matthew Morgan
>female characters who fall in love with men are weak
Jason Moore
yeah but think about that, when they're the ones in power they can't just go and change the rules, espcially now that their child is underway because the other people at the top would accuse them of being entirely self-serving.
Jaxon Stewart
Ange from PriPri was strong until the last 2 episodes where they decided to just do a complete character assassination of her and "MUH PRINCESS" isn't a good excuse.
Juan Gonzalez
>The underlying problem is that women are not strong
Shoehorning a strong female character can be very tough to sell in the shonen demographic. I wouldn't say girls are not tough and never exists in her life. I think we are going to see more strong female character in shonen and rest of the anime in coming years.
Matthew Wilson
>Sole motivation becomes this one dudes dick
Nope.
She was basically Sakura
Levi Carter
Sakura was horribly written not because she was willing to defend Sasuke's shit because she was in love with him, but why she was in love with him to begin with. There was absolutely 0 development between them before Sasuke left beyond a 'cool guy omg I want to date him!!!'. She was essentially the same as Ino, who actually moved on to someone who she interacted with more than 3 times. Sakura being in this undying love to Sasuke was just plain retarded.
Sebastian Lee
Asher Kelly
they had bad times, so what ? They are still strong female characters, not to mention Sastsuki was imprisoned by another strong female character
Levi Diaz
>the other people at the top
Which people? Saki and her group were chosen to became the leaders' sucesors, Saki in partiualar. Remember most people grew up being essentially brainwashed all the time except for Saki and her friends. Everyone else wouldn't have as much control as she and Satoru after the old leaders die and most of them did because of Messiah.
Chase Lewis
What i said exactly
Wyatt Edwards
There is no such a thing when even the strongest female submits to cock after but a single thrust.
Ayden Diaz
>17kg
Babby weight.
I don't think you quite understand. I can bench 110kg for 5 and deadlift 220kg for 5. I have passed a point where my mind and body don't even register weights less than 20kg. In my world objects less than 20kg don't exist.
I am getting stronger and stronger every time I hit the gym. I am starting to fear my own strength.
Jace Ross
>Which people?
Well I don't think they're going back to some kind of tyranny or monarchy so there will probably be other institutions that will have a say, especially after the rats and messiah have kinda proven that the inhuman laws and regulations were necessary. If the authorities would've had their way none of this would've happened.
Owen Nelson
Dont worry reifan i think rei is good too and think fighting over whether red or blue is better is really stupid.
she also had an interesting character arch how in the end she rebelled against the man that used her.
Adam Phillips
usually it's before the the first thrust even
i pretend that chapter 1 is the only chapter
Kevin Torres
A woman is more tough than strong. She can endure alot more than a man even though she might be phisically weaker.
as such a female character that endures is a better trait to have.
Juan Lewis
it is when that is all they do. tthey dont become real characters, just mere accessories to that male character .
