* Attack On Titan: Mikasa is a lead as well (they have a main trio), and the cast is well-balanced between the genders. Female characters occupy several important roles, and are treated not only as equals by their peers but handled respectfully by the author as capable individuals rather than stereotypical \

* Attack On Titan: Mikasa is a lead as well (they have a main trio), and the cast is well-balanced between the genders. Female characters occupy several important roles, and are treated not only as equals by their peers but handled respectfully by the author as capable individuals rather than stereotypical \\\"Strong Female Character\\\". By this, I mean the strength of the women is not treated as unique, nor does it require some of the over-the-top bringing down of men sometimes used to show that a female character is \\\"strong\\\". Instead, you\\\'ve got an ideal where women are just as capable as their male peers, respected for their abilities rather than looks, and no one thinks it\\\'s odd if a girl is strong. But it also has many nuances in terms of the female characters, and the plot centers strongly on several of them through their choices and actions, rather than them being damsels or objects to be won. We also have women everywhere in the background, in all roles and walks of life.

* Claymore is almost entirely a female cast, all strong and capable warriors that are noted to be better suited to their task than the failed Male generation. It has a strong focus on the friendships, rivalries, and driving goals of the women.

* Angelic Layer: Went back to fresh my memory, and while it aims at a male audience with the standard Shonen Fighting Tournament....I don\\\'t think that automatically means it doesn\\\'t fit here. It focuses on a female protagonist\\\'s journey, and placing her into a role typically played by a male protagonist (I\\\'m gonna be the strongest! I\\\'m gonna be the champion!) while focusing on her growth and the bonds she develops.

* Final Fantasy X: Yuna is the true protagonist of the story, with Tidus merely as the audience surrogate viewing her journey from girl intending to martyr herself to a strong, capable woman that chooses her own path.

* Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning is considered the first outright Female protagonist of the Final Fantasy series (as opposed to having a male decoy), and the plot is primarily driven by the women in the story. The expanded universe of the trilogy focuses on a Goddess, and the women connected to her in their roles as saviors, seers, and champions.

* Angelic Layer: Never heard about it being focused on a male audience, as.....it really has no markers of that.
