Posted in: Hosoda: Japanese anime has problem with women and girls See in context
I'm surprised nobody is complaining that a man is telling everyone how a girl should be / act.
Personally, I like many of the female protagonists in Miyazaki films, and many of the sub characters are nothing like the "sacred" girl as described above. But I would love to watch a story about a girl as written and directed by a girl. Both are fine, but every now and then have a story about a girl - by a girl.
And what do you think Sailor Moon is written by? And don't get me started with man swinging crap. Come back and talk to me when you get drafted by the millions in the next War.
What you think Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight was? It's a story with a lot of male characters written by females which real life most males don't act that way. Those male characters are pretty feminine.

The complete lack of criticism is exactly what's killing the japanese entertainment industry, so what he's doing here should be encouraged.
Are you sure about that? Because the last time I check the entire anime and manga industry is crushing Marvel and DC beyond belief. Matter of fact anime and mangoes have a record highest sales than ever before and out doing all other platforms of Storytelling.
