 For better or for worse, based on a few posts on the f-lists today about shipwars in their fandoms, I've created the LJ user interest liking multiple female characters.  (Though, if there's a better version of this, someone tell me.) 

ETA:  Related interest that's been around for a bit:  all the fictional women you hate.

I always have to bit my tongue when I see posts and comments about hating multiple female characters because they suck, then being impressed with themselves for liking one that fits strict guidelines of what's permissable to be a decent female character(without the application of similar guidelines to males.) Never mind that I usually always like the liked girl...

That happens to me all the time, usually with Integra Hellsing. I love her very much but I hate to see her trotted out as the one example of a good female character.

I loved her in the anime. I didn't really plan to read the manga, but a friend made a few comments at A-Kon that made me decide to. (Though...uhm...I haven't yet...)

The manga is even crazier. I read it for a while then dropped off for some reason, but it's fun.

I think that's usually the case, unless the "crazy" is a pseudonym for "incomprehensible," in which case, it usually ends up the anime.

No, this is 'batshit insane.' There's an author's note at the end of one volume featuring two of the characters who just got killed that might be the funniest/wrongest thing I read that year.
