At the times, it was a story about tomboys being dressed in cool armor and doing cool stuff after giving up their humanity.
In fact I'd argue not a single fucking western writer, which apparently are all obsessed with writing empowered female archetypes, ever came up with something as good or better than the average claymore.
You want to know how to write a cool female character? You make them pretty AND you make them cool, and you make them do cool or nice things.
It's all there is to it.
But no, western writers have to make them ugly, lame and do evil or lame shit.
Rosa from Umineko when she's fighting for her life and all her might to save Maria. If you ignore everything else she does before that, that's a beautiful character right there.
Rin when she's fighting Sakura in front of the Grail and lets her win after overpowering her just because she understood how unfair life had been to her, beautiful sister archetype.
But nooooo... Rose DeWitt from Titanic or Rey from Star Wars, that's what western writers shit out.
Nu-feminists ruined feminism. Things could have been great, but they turned to such shit.
