Why do most of the best anime have female main characters? Examples include: GITS, Lain, Angel's Egg, most Ghibli, Utena, Satoshi Kon movies, most WMT shows, Tutu, Doremi, Haibane, Windy Tales, Precure, Sailor Moon, K-On, Tamako Love Story, Erin, Azumanga, Nichijou, Kare kano, Rose of Versailles, Aria, Belladonna, Dennou Coil, Kino, Euphonium, Moribito, Birdy Decode, Twelve Kingdoms, the list goes on.
I think this is the only medium for this to be the case.

Because female characters are better.
The combination of either hot/cute, as well as often moe and interesting is unbeatable. Anime & manga characters in general are just very lovable.

Wow there let's not devolve this into a shitstorm.
>>137245191
>all those god tier anime
Certainly some taste to admire.
Because the anime industry has no issue writing them however they please instead of worrying about getting their throats torn out by the media for being sexist. The worst thing they have to sorry about is stepping on some otaku feet or pissing off irrelevant foreigners but it isn't that big a deal comparatively

We know, Yui, we know.

>Euphonium
You almost got a serious reply.
>>137247432
Shit taste.
>>137247578
I don't see how you can even put that in the same list as shit like KareKano or Kon.

As a recent example, Euphonium is the best TV anime of 2015 and Miss Hokusai would probably be the best anime movie of 2015.
>>137247768
Euphonium's not even in the running, but I still haven't seen Miss Hokusai. Not that my opinion on movies matters, since I barely watch them.
>>137245191
based on your pic and your shot list you dont know what good is.
>>137247672
I don't understand how your taste is so shit.
>>137247768
I wanna get this sentence ironically tattood on my ass.
>>137247857
It's just shit melodrama and very dull "pretty" shots.
Westerners can't write female protags for shit.
>>137247907
i guess this meaningless nonsense is what passes as criticism nowadays
>>137245191
I also wondered about thia. I like all the shows you mentioned and even some shows without female protagonists I like: Eva, FLCL, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy, Texhnolyze and Beautiful Dreamer all still have interesting and important female characters in the main cast. Only examples I can think of without those would be Mushishi and Mononoke, but both of those don't really have much of a cast in general.
I think the reason is simply because there are a lot more female characters in anime and manga in general. Maybe it's because most of the creators are men so they prefer creating female characters. It might be also because they know it's men that mainly watch anime.

Hibike is second, first was Yuri Kuma. Both still had female main protagonists.
>>137249732
Hibike > Pleiades > YKA > everything else
>>137250270
What the hell did you like about Pleiades?
>>137249247
It's not a fucking critical essay, it's a short reason for disliking something.

You don't like science and romance?
