A League of Her Own

Most 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!

Someone suggested her, (but I can't find the person's address) saying:
          I have good reasons for liking her, anyone who has seen Girls Revelotion Utena will most likely agree with me that Juri is great. She is proud, but not too proud to admit her mistakes. She is the only one who can dodge Utena in combat and she is a fencer. I fence and I find it very cool that she does too! She respects Touga. She is smart and pretty at the same time! She...does not take any crap from men. She is love with a girl that does not love her back, yet she does not push herself on this girl even though this girl cheated on her. She is truly a super anime female.

          Mylene F. Jenius is one of my favorite characters. First of all, she's the seventh child of the first Zentradi/Human marriage in the Macross Saga. She travels with her family to settle unexplored planets, but in the meantime, she's the bass player in a band called Fire Bomber. She can put up with Nekki Basara, she's piloted Valkyries (AKA Battlroids...?) since she was little, and she can calm alien flunkies with her singing! On top of that, she has one of the coolest hair colors there is! Pink!!.
