The Girl With Black Hair is a refreshing treasure displaying wonder, hope and curiousity in a mature manner that is hard to find in anime

Emma pops off, though her insistence is annoying at times

Any female in the series for their own reasons

Motoko is a badass

inquisitive girl who aims for adventure and knowledge

Rumi aims to do the best at her job and school life and help others

After Akira's accident, she still remains independent even if she likes Masami

Haru has strong independence and discovers self-complexities

Koko is ruthless in her analytic tactics and is the leader of her arms dealing company.

Both protagonists are passionate about achieving their goals

Odd case, but still technically applies. Satou Matsuzaka financially supports both her and Shio at the ripe age of like 17. She can cook her own food, presumably maintains good grades and is looked up to by her peers. She never yields to any man or adult who aims to defame or defile her.

Beelzebub handles herself and duties without over-dependency on others, particularly males

Violet is compassionate without yielding to dependency for others no matter what

Mikasa. Self-explanatory, though she does depend on Eren for approval or as a savior

Miwa Wakaba directs all the adult videos at the company and does not bend to anyone's demand. She holds her ground and vision no matter the circumstance.

Despite the male protagnist being a pervert, the women all all actually have personalities and ___ holds a high journalism position

maybe

Haruhi gets mixed up in trouble, but always aims to remedy it

Every protaganist is, they just aim to be themselves and let others love them that way

The female scientists in this show carry the same presence as the males which is refreshing

Narumi is shy but knows how to handle herself

Mizutani is an unemotive independent girl figuring things out for herself

Misaki is pretty competent as herself, but the show switches direction to put the guy in a savior complex

Despite Kaguya being a tsundere, she knows what she's doing

reiko :weary:

Hestia is a supportive goddess of the main dude

I hate Chizuru, but I can't deny that she carries herself how she wants

Mai is a funny stoic gal

lol, Flare technically qualifies for this list but uh, she is a rapist

even if abused

even if bad

not tia noto bruh

inn employee trying to manage the chaos caused by this one boy.

Ririchiyo aims to do everything herself and supports herself on her own. Though due to her lack of self-understanding she can be too dependent

perseveres through her social anxiety

Goes through the complex process of grief. While someone might not consider a character going through a death and continuously crying as 'competence', it is assuredly resilience and frieg is a difficult process to undergo.

Sagiri can properly support herself with her art (given her age)

The writing of the show is a little muddy, but they try their best to write Fena as a klutz but a growing and independent young woman

in a way, she has a strong self of autonomy and utilizes it to her desire
