How do Japanese females view anime?

Name: Anonymous 2005-03-19 18:52

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?

LOL I'M GONNA TAKE THAT WORD BTW DISTINCTIMATION

OH, AND HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE HENTAIS/JPORNS WITH DOMINANT FEMALES THAT COME DISPROPORTIONATELY OUT OF JAPAN.... SEXUAL-FANTASY TOPIC-CONCENTRATIONS ARE VERY TELLING OF THE PARTICULAR CULTURE
