Good female characters are not necessarily "strong". They can be weak, dysfunctional, idiotic and severely flawed.
The important thing is that they have agency. If they are in a relation with a man, it's okay for the man to be completely overpowering her, it only becomes a problem when the anime portrays this as a good thing.
Only having virtuous strong perfect women is just as bad as only having weak women always playing damsel in distress.
Just because a show has female characters that kick ass doesn't mean that the show is suddenly egalitarian.
