Riiiiight, because male anime characters are always fleshed-out, realistic, and completely original.

Obviously not, but more often than not they don't take stereotypical roles. Often you'll see a female character being all "damsel in distress", while if there's a male character that is, say, a womanizing sleaze bucket, there's often more thought put into the character as a comedic or scary role... not just "help me help me the bad guy has me" time and time again, or "I'm a snot nosed girl etc etc".

Yeah, no. Seriously, if you actually believe that, then maybe you need to reexamine stereotypes WITHOUT the misogyny glasses on.

LOL.

Dude. You have male steriotypes in anime. Yes. But MORE OFTEN, females are POORLY portrayed in anime. When you have the male, strong guy, warrior type, it's generally in a POSITIVE way. A good, solid "never give up" kind of character that is really, if anything, a positive rolemodel.

Then you have the women in anime, that are often times helpless and depend on men for everything. You have, of course, stronger characters i.e. Hitomi of EscaFlowne who spends as much time fighting for what she believes in as the male cast, but then you have someone like Orihime of Bleach, who (for at least the first 150 eps as I havent been watching for awhile) constantly leans on the male cast, and at times the tomboy female, who is still a masculine character. And when you DO have a character who is out there, defending themselves, they tend to be obnoxious or overplayed, i.e. for some reason this 110 pound girl is beating the shit out of this 250 pound huge musclebound guy. Yes this makes so much sense.

Apparantly me wishing there were more good female characters IN anime = mysogyny.

k, bb.

That I can agree with, but that wasn't what you said. You said men are more fleshed out in anime than women, and that just is not true.

No, I said that when men take on steriotypical roles, they still are more fleshed out than women. Ie "throw in a damsel in distress here" vs. "this guy is a tough guy but has a long past of anguish, is in love with someone he can never have, and look, he has a soft side! :D"

Errr you're slightly incorrect when it comes to Orihime, in terms of the fact she has repeatedly overturned that stereotype in the latest manga and anime episodes.

Thats why I said 'the first 150, cause I haven't been keeping up with bleach (IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THIS LONG, TITE ;_;)
