I think Fate/Stay Night was a good adaptation made by Ufotable. It had strong female characters, as well as, a great story.

This is just my opinion anyways and I'm not sure if you saw the part where I mentioned that yeah, I acknowledge that anime does not depict relationships between males and females all too well, seeing as they more than often not, take the romantic route unfortunately. And female protagonists often take a hit because their characterization gets butchered heavily by stereotypes, common tropes, and blatant fanservices that I myself am tired of honestly.

I just wish that there were more anime that would depict otherwise and maybe making a female saniwa could have been that opportunity. It's just wishful thinking I'm well aware, but I'm not hating on the current reveal that the saniwa is male, it's just a tad bit depressing to see so many people think that a female protagonist would have been detrimental to the plot or storyline. Had there been a proper characterization and development, I think it would have been great all the same. But I know such things are a rarity when it comes to anime, I can see why people would be hesistant and wary.

And yes I am well aware of the doujins and comics that exist on pixiv, but I'm just basing this on the audience, not specifically the fanworks that were produced. Since mostly girls play TB, it was just a bit shocking that they didn't go for a female is all.

Hopefully this and the above statement of mine did not come of as mean or pretentious or anything as well. I'm just projecting my wishful thinking because I do want better female heroes, but I do the acknowledge the problem that Japanese animes too often have.
