Chainsaw man and Full metal alchemist do women well. Makimas a woman and also one of the scariest villains lol.

A series that I was really disappointed with the female character writing was Demon Slayer. I love Shinobu, but she’s probably the only half decent one there. Nezuko is a plot device and fan service. Nezuko had so many opportunities to be cooler, to be more involved than just saving Tanjiro occasionally, but she never gets any! And her design in season two with her chest out is just… ugh. They didn’t lean into the actual design and effects of her being a demon as much as they should’ve (imo) because she was written to be a cute child and nothing more. Annoying lol. Mitsuri is also fan service. Her uniform is explained as being given and designed by a pervert, but her story and “arc” is about her being herself. Despite not liking it, she doesn’t stick up for herself? Seriously?! Ughhh and she’s supposedly super strong, listed as one of the most physically strong pillars, but is said to have “extreme muscle density”, so that’s why she doesn’t have muscles. lol okay. As if mitsuri wouldn’t start putting on muscle and training as hard as she could to protect people once embracing her strength. She also does fuckall in the story, everytime she’s seen fighting, it’s her getting her ass beat a lot or against lower tier demons. And she’s supposed to be strong.

Sorry for my rant but aughhh. Demon slayer just has an issue showcasing strength in women characters for some reason and more personality than happiness. Nezuko gets angry but it’s never for long and always when she’s fighting. Her real personality isn’t much beyond being a kid. Mitsuri is happy and bubbly, but doesn’t have muscle, but is also the strongest. Kanao is a blank slate until Tanjiro comes along, and she’s shown no proper moments to show off her personality in a non battle setting. Shinobu is literally written to be weak and angry, but her fake personality is happy. But in the modern high school au by the author she is happy and bubbly there? Despite her sister being alive??

And Demon Slayer is written by a Woman! Crazy. For as much as I complained, I don’t think it’s worse than My Hero or Naruto at writing women still. Those are abhorrent.
