A League of Her OwnMost commonly, female characters in anime play second fiddle to their male counterparts--but sometimes, the lead character is a girl (or, a girl deserves to be the lead character...) In any case, these Leading Ladies are in a class by themselves, especially when compared to some of the wilting violets that that are so common in run-of-the-mill anime. Nooooooo, THESE gals are not one dimensional characters who do nothing in the story. Their strength of character is what keeps the story going; they are definitely in a league of their own... Somewhat standard disclaimer: None of these images belong to me, nor do they belong to the sites/webmasters I stole them from =). These images are owned solely by the creators, artists and/or producers of the anime/manga in question. However, if I took the image from your site and you don't want to share it, please tell me about it and I'll take it down. Sometimes, I have to crop/resize or otherwise alter a perfectly good image in order to emphasize the characters--if you don't like it, email me an alternative, please! ![]() from the series Sailormoon/R/S/SS/Sailorstars Kyle-Ohki says: Here's some acheivements of hers that are VERY worth noting: ![]() from the movie Ninja Scroll Ninja Scroll is one of my favorite movies, honestly. It had a wonderful script, great directing, fabulous characters... if you'll recall, Jubei is one of the Men of Power. Kagero is a wonderful person, really--so tragic a life! Someone suggested her, saying:
![]() from the movie Nausicaa Long live Hayao Miyazaki! In my opinion, Nausicaa is his best work. No wait, Laputa--no, Totoro... Forget it. I love them all. Nausicaa is simply the best female character ever to grace the screen. She's smart, and friendly, can communicate with wierdo worm things (who were oddly cute, in their own way) is always ready to forgive and is willing to fight for what she believes in. I could go on and on and on and on... but I won't. Anyone who would contest her inclusion as the epitome of the Leading Ladies has obviously never seen the movie. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone so just watch it. It is one movie that you can never regret owning, and never get sick of watching. Truly a masterpiece of anime, and Nausicaa is the main reason why that is so. ![]() from the series Magic Knight Rayearth I swore to my friend Android 18 that I would put in her favorite character when this site opened. This blue-haired fencer was one of the nicest characters in the anime. Don't let her bluff exterior fool you--she's really a sweetie through and through and has a soft spot for even Mokona. She's also sensitive enough to not ridicule the kid who has a crush on her. I love the way she is so capable yet is sometimes embarassed to admit that she needs the others around her--goes to show that she is human, with both human strengths and weaknesses. It is a nice touch in normally super-human heroes. Most anime girls are either super self-reliant or in dire need of companionship. It is a fine balance indeed. ![]() from the movie Mononoke Hime Here's another legendary work by the undisputed master storyteller Miyazaki Hayao. Monoke Hime is not even out in English and already I've heard raves. My sister was in Tokyo for the opening and I AM SO JEALOUS! I can't wait for it to be release...
