Tired of Anime Girls

[Jackie Daytona]

So... in any creative endeavor, there will inevitably be female characters. That's fine. But anime girls have become nothing but cliches.

90% of them are/have:
1.) Super-thin and tiny but somehow have Superman level of strength. (Or magic powers.)
2.) Villainess with infinite contrivances as to why she cannot be defeated.
3.) Weak damsel (usually with big boobs)
4.) Perpetually annoyed by everything.
5.) Have no real reason to like the male protagonist.
6.) Insignificant to the story.
7.) Bimbo. (Sorry, I don't have a better word for it.)
8.) Abusive to the male protagonist without consequence. (Regardless of situation or circumstance.)
9.) Exceedingly high-pitched voice that no real adult has.
10.) Highly skilled, but we never get a backstory on how these skills were acquired. Usually without a shred of hardship or effort shown. (Or maybe one scene.)
11.) Robot.

Basically just use one of those or combine them. That's every modern anime girl.

Gone are the days of unique and interesting female characters in anime. They are all just copies and tropes.

I only find the problem that they cancel themselves for the mc for no reason as the nature of them are made to sell to the undesirable weebs that offer nothing but being nice to get the girls.
the reasons are not that serious? it is a fantasy genre afterall

I doubt anime like Attack on Titan and Berserk (to name a couple) were made for children in mind.

Tired of anime girls? Try anime boys instead

It's 2025, Tesla AI Companion Catgirl Robot Waifus are all the rage now.

If they were more etiquette and taste full maybe a European person like me would take the time to try.

But. Its now for kids

You are not seeing the work of art holistically. Anime girls in that context usually represent a vibe or stereotype, but they are depicted that way on purpose as part of a greater whole.

Anime does not always follow a linear story progression where there has to be some kind of tension and resolution, sometimes it's more like a painting that you just immerse yourself in, without any particular narrative, it's the experience.

That's why they take so much time and care depicting things that might seem trivial like flowers or water or the sky, that is as much an important part as the story, if not more so. That's why you can have entire episodes about someone going fishing or walking in the park.

It's like the criticism people have of Cyberpunk when they say it's one inch deep and three miles wide. These kinds of anime are the same idea, but on purpose. You aren't looking for depth of character, you are looking for breadth of experience.

Almost like most anime is a derivative hash.

[Spirit]

it's not always easy to be super original. anime industry reuses many character types but so does live action stuff

[Moogal]

Yes, most anime sucks.

[Goblin]

a lot of them look the same you just swap the hair and people act like its a new character

[Lime]

to be fair you have to have a very high iq to appreciate the subtle nuances that make each and every anime girl precious and unique, maybe you should stick to playing sports or something

My personal picks:

Violet Evergarden (best anime i ever saw)
Cowboy Bebop
Ranma 1/2 (both the remake and original actually)
Kare Kano
Higurashi (not the new ones tho, those absolutely suck)
Pokemon (Indigo League, the original series)
Blue Box

I mostly stopped watching anime but i will give Spy X Family a chance when i get the time for that.

More waifus for me then
