> anime women are giving men unrealistic expectations about relationships > anime tends to present female characters who are unconditionally loving, endlessly patient, and ridiculously loyal, often without any logical reason to an extent, but not entirely, also it's nothing new. i remember watching soviet cartoons as a kid, and it was pretty much the same back then. man and woman love each other deeply and treat each-other as equals. both have their roles (women takes care of kids and home while father earns money and protects his family). when his partner, or potential partner, is in danger (in soviet cartoons it was usually some evil wizard or some other other character from folklore), the man would save his love interest after overcoming different adversities and they would live happily ever after. now that i think about it, longer soviet cartoons were a lot like fist of the north star... at least the structure was the same.
