I happen to like that show. And I do enjoy it over "Sailor Moon".  I'm not comparing American animation's representation of female characters to that of live action shows like "Alias".This is what I wrote: What I am saying here is that: when it comes to Action/Adventure animation series in the U.S. (which are mostly based off toylines), its hard to pitch a show where the main character is female. Because I didn't want someone to retort with "that's not true, they have Power Puff Girls and Kim Possible". So I wrote ,"They only do lead females if its a musical or a slap stick/comedy show like "Power Puff Girls" or "Kim Possible".  I don't see how you think that means I don't like "Kim Possible".  What my post said was that female characters (in American animtion) only get a fair shake in comedy/adventure , slapstick comedy, and Disney like musicals. Not in straight action/adventure. The thinking being, that there are shows done for boys and shows done for girls. But I'd like to think we can make action/adventure shows that are not gender specific. A show that is just for people. My point was that, this is what Japan has over the American animation industry. They have "Witch Hunter Robin" and such. We don't. And that's also tied to directy to the original postter's statement. That the American animation industry doesn't produce serious action/adventure. So how can females be represented poorly or fairly in an area that has no products to judge?  Don't worry, I know. Its a cartoon comedy aimed at young girls. What I accuse of not being "Alias" was "Catwoman" and "Elektra". Sorry if there was any confusion,but I thought I had written it clearly.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
