3 anime starring women if you're sick of all the regular tropes
Here are a few favorites of mine if you want to watch a couple of cool young women who act like real people.
Skip and Loafer
Look, I know this is a super recent one, but I wholeheartedly recommend it beyond that fact that the main character is a super awesome girl who doesn't fall into those romcom tropes. The designs are adorable, and there's no sign of fanservice anywhere. The other girls in the series are also well fleshed-out and don't fall into demeaning or boring tropes.
Just look how adorable everyone is! And just to add to that, their skirts actually look like uniform skirts, so not all of them are mid-thigh length. This is such a cute series, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
I'm guessing this one has been recommended over and over, but it really is incredible! I love how the art looks rougher and not overly cutesy, and I love how the girls actually sound like girls with varying voices! Besides that, if you're someone who loves anime and animation, this show will spark that sense of joy and wonder like it did in me.
O Maidens in Your Savage Season
While I can't claim to have seen every teen-targeted show in existence, this is probably one of the only shows - let alone the only anime - I've seen that portrays what those aspects of puberty are like for a teen girl in a realistic and non-exploitative way. It even includes the experiences of a young lesbian, which shows rarely do. In general, this is such a great series that definitely can bring back a few cringey memories, but is incredibly in its characters and tackling of real issues.
~~~
Those are just the three that are in my head right now! if you haven't seen one or more of these, I really recommend giving them a watch! Skip and Loafer is still currently airing, but Eizouken and O Maidens are available on Crunchyroll and Hidive respectively.

"I feel like she and I could relate so hard about our struggles with school… I love her and her positive spirit."
Sayaka -
"She’s the laidback yin to Midori’s hyperactive yang. She gives zero fucks and does what she wants, regardless of authority. She gives me the vibes that her unwillingness to conform with other people isolated her and Midori is her only friend due to the solidarity between “weirdos”, even if they’re on different ends of the spectrum and act completely differently."

Autistic Anime Girls Group 1 Match 16
SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:
Midori -
"she's the most autistic anime character of all time. her official bio sums her up best by calling her "full of curiosity and imagination, but not very sociable": she lacks developed social skills & often asks her best friend for help interacting with others, but in contrast is extremely dedicated to art (her special interest) & will start infodumping about potential designs at the drop of a hat. based on my understanding of Japanese, her speech patterns tend to fluctuate between archaic, rarely-used terms one would only pick up by mirroring movie/anime characters, as well as a lot of repeated onomatopoeia. when she's stressed she reverts to her natural dialect, and also attempts to hide in her shirt & clings to a stuffed rabbit she carries around everywhere for emotional support. the author has said that she was based off his own experiences with autism and ADHD in high school, & in a recent tweet of his said that he showed the manga to his family doctor and he joked that she's a "typical case of ASD" (lol)."
Jiji -
"My girl is a whole ass mood. Socially challenged Otaku. OG old man fucker extraordinaire. She loves 'em. I deeply appreciate her shamelessness."
