Here are anime girls who just don't mess around with guys or get captured. They beat them up!

She's the Ziva of anime. Managing to beat up someone while in a dress is hilarious.

This might be the first horror show where you don't see girls getting killed by men. Instead, the girl is killing! I'm all for feminism! How often do you see girls in shows beating up others?

Liberating Cels: Forms of the Female in Japanese Cyberpunk Animation

The strong woman is a common theme in Japanese cyberpunk animation. These women are unusual, in that they contradict many of the customary ways women are portrayed in the Japanese media. Bubblegum Crisis, Serial Experiments Lain, and Ghost in the Shell do seem to, at times, break free from convention and offer a refreshing vision of the female. While this vision is not completely free from presentations of the strong female as sexual object, the strength of the female protagonists turns such liabilities into assets. Rather than having her freedom is proscribed by the manner in which her body is perceived, the strong woman in cyberpunk anime seems to be a subversive and potentially liberating element.
