Upon consideration, sure I'll grant you Tatsumi, and Mine, and Sheele, realistically Akame, but I mean apart from that.

Regarding Psycho Pass, http://i.imgur.com/VrPSBLP.jpg .

And honestly the elements of that arc are all the sort of things which could have been done very badly, but came together well in practice. I had a whole essay on this which I can't dig up, but for the executive summary - the entire point of the arc is an indictment of mainstream yuri. You have all the original elements, with young girls being traditionally dressed in a nostalgic fashion, enagaging in traditionally 'ladylike' club activities of painting and theatre, the traditional sempai preying on the underclassmen dynamic, and what is originally set up as pure relationships with none of the baggage of an actual relationship.

All of which the villain of the arc attacks as representing a script that the girls are following, to allow them to create the perfect product for men to marry. Nothing is ever meant to come of the subtext, it's merely a prop to demonstrate their purity, but she violates this when they end up in bed with her, and she takes it to it's most extreme conclusion in her treatment of them, literally turning them into works of art (and throughout she re-interprets everything through her own agency).

Which leads into Psycho Pass' other issue which is that there is really more sexual violence then is comfortable.

re: Tokyo Ghoul, I honestly don't have a can't think of what character you're talking about here. But I'll cede the point.

Tatsumi, Mine, Akame, Sheele, that green-haired dude, the new red-head that showed up in the school uniform (I'm only as far as the anime right now), Akame's sister, the blond shota henchman of the ice general... come on man Akame ga Kill is a good show but it's still riddled with random teens, including the protagonist and his probable (?) love interests.

Full disclosure: I'm not finished the lesbian schoolgirl arc of Psycho Pass but I'll come back and read this when I am.

In retrospect I just considered the setting and didn't put any real thought into that choice at all.

And lets be serious, it's not close to a good show, it's complete trash - just enjoyably so.
