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.
