YES. The girls in Eizouken felt so much like all the awkward nerdy girls I've ever known, just plonking down places and sprawling and all kinds of things. It's ridiculous how rare it is to find that, period.
Though you know where it is easier to find different kinds of women? In josei. But of course, josei manga doesn't get anime and josei manga doesn't get licensed in English, so good luck finding it sometimes. I do have a couple of titles on my shelf with adult female leads that are allowed to get ugly and fall apart and I appreciate the hell out of them.
Eizouken made me aware about the whole exaggerated girl walk cycle thing honestly, I never took deep notice of that before lol
I feel like pure comedy/gag anime have a much better representation of women too, not actually afraid to have them be crass and rude instead of some pure angel and less stereotypical girly overall.
