I recently started watching anime and I haven’t really found one yet that has good female characters (although I really haven’t watched many yet).
The ones that don’t sexualize the characters like FMA and Deathnote still don’t give the women a lot of agency and they’re always serving the men.
Code Geass had at least one female character I liked but sexualized her and the others a lot.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a satire of magical girl anime so it does trod in some of the tropes, but by the end I think the female characters have agency and real relationships with each other. But it still ultimately feels like men writing women.
I think Erased was also okay about this. It was a male-centered story but there were significant female characters and I don’t remember any of them being sexualized. Not sure if it passes the Bechedel test though.
Overlord was the worst one for me that I’ve seen and I couldn’t finish it.
I have watched many anime with great female characters, but like western media, there is likely to be something that could be improved to portray the women better. Still, I think I can recommend something worth watching if there's a genre or specific kind of show/movie you want to watch?
I did like most of the anime I watched, just sometimes need to take breaks from male-focused media.
My favorites of the things I watched were FMA (both original and Brotherhood) and Code Geass.
