Have you seen Princess Tutu? (anime) it embraces femininity like any other mahou shoujo has ever done, and that femininity is the very source of her strength.
I agree. Even in the few "feminine but strong" female lead shows/Manga a majority of those have her as physically strong or give her a supernatural power. I've rarely seen a "simple", feminine, emotionally strong character like Sasha.
I think this is a good step in female character design in anime because, unlike anime with plain male leads, this "plain female lead" still has personality and is very well written.
Ah no but it is on my list. I heard the ending was kinda sad so I was saving it for when I'm in the mood for that sort of thing
Exactly. She is still engaging as a character, without adding some special power only she has. Everyone has the ability to listen, but not everyone can do what she does
It's not that sad, I''d still consider it a happy ending.
I'm also on team recommend Princess Tutu, it's very heart-warming and unique.
I think once you watch it, you'll regret not watching it sooner.
I don't think it is sad, but rather heartwarming and full of hope, I sincerely recommend you to put it as a priority, I swear, I wish I watched Princess Tutu the very same time it was releasing.
Wow I guess Princess Tutu will be the next anime I watch. It has some pretty decent fans
Honestly one reason I really love Sasha is because she a strong but still feminine female lead. As much as I love a good fighter we honestly don't see that many female mcs with feminine traits that are portrayed in a positive light. I wish there was more stories like this
