I'd argue that Neon Genesis Evangelion, the show that more or less has come to define what modern anime would become, would hold very strong appeal with feminists. The male protagonist is an utter wimp throughout the entire show, getting bossed around by his female captain and other female pilots, all of which are more assertive and aggressive than the entire male cast. Not only that, but all the human villains within the show are all exclusively men, that are egomaniacs that pursue an extremely delusional conception of a utopia.
I was surprised to realize how many people found Asuka to be their favorite character, when to me she felt almost like a walking stereotype. Legit, it's as if they took every single conceivable negative quality from a woman and put it into a single character... but tons of people seem to relate to that?
