How do Japanese females view anime?

American media tends to portray females as strong willed, goal minded, intelligent people.  While anime does this as well, there tends to be an emphasis on characters driven by emotions.

How do females in Japan view representations of females in anime?  In other words, what seems "off" or "wrong" about a certain female portrayal, and what seems accurate?  What do females in Japan criticize or feel offended by with character representations. 

For example, a shy, narrow minded, ditzy girl might seem "sexist" in the US, but would simply be one of any number of personalities in anime.  Other examples include girls that are overly enthusiastic, overly emotional, overly shy, naive, innocent, hyper, etc.

Do Japanese females prefer certain types of personalities, or wish females were represented in different ways than they currently are?

zooomj a coherent point!

the wapophiles are in denial, all they know about japan is from their cartoons

japan is something of a statistical outlier though, they were nuclear shocked/culture shocked into a culture of godless driving technology... they are the most artificial culture currently on planet earth.

they live millions ontop of eachother on tiny slivers of land, the connectivity level in japan is insane... it is above 90%
their cell and internetworks are generations ahead of ours.. and being born into that type of an environment affects mass psychology of the culture
