If you don't mind manga/manwha, then check out;

Change 123 (one of the girls from this is in my sig :3)
Freezing
Onihime Vs

If you prefer to watch anime then I recommend;

Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom
Black Lagoon
Shikabane Hime
Fate/Stay Night
Busou Renkin
Shakugan no Shana
Soul Eater

If you can accept manga, go with Change 123 or Mirai Nikki.

If it has to be anime... maybe Soul Eater I guess...

I second Black Lagoon... definitely an ass kicking female lead there.

Kleo Scanti · 2010-10-11, 08:14

Mai-HiME? Michiko to Hatchin? I haven't seen any of the series you mentioned, so I can only guess. But these are about females fighting and winning.

Awesomeness I don't mind manga at all!
Ive seen Black lagoon n Fate/stay and loved them both!

Definitely seconding Black Lagoon as it has the most badass female characters I've ever seen in any anime. I recommend watching the English dub since I think it's better than the sub and it suits them better.

You could try other J.C.Staff anime, like Toradora!, Shakugan no Shana, and To Aru Majutsu no Index (I personally find Mikoto annoying, but to each their own I guess. Kanzaki is pretty badass though.)

There's also Baccano! (english dub preferred) and Durarara!! by the same author. Pretty much everyone kicks ass in those series one way or another, although you wouldn't think it at first. Also, Kiddy Grade isn't well known but I found that the second half of the series was really good and the two main characters are pretty awesome.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. It basically starts out typical mahou shoujo, but it really gets better and better, enough so that fans call it mahou shoujo mixed with Gundam. The second season especially is excellent. EVERYONE will kick your ass in there if you choose to fight them, even though they don't look like it.

In Bakemonogatari I guess you could call Senjougahara badass (definitely the most badass female entrance, that's for sure) but in a non fighting way.

Also, DEFINITELY Kara no Kyoukai. Shiki is awesome.

Since you said manga is fine,
Battle Angel Alita (aka GUNNM) all the way.
sci-fi dystopia + amnesia + cyborg bounty hunters = all sorts of violence and ass kicking
I think in one fight, Alita loses about 3/4 of her body...
It's a great all-around read too, with some of the best storytelling and character development out there.

Seconding Kara no Kyoukai, Nanoha, and Mirai Nikki.

If you really want to take gory violence up to 11 though, and are ok with explicit sexual content, it's almost impossible to top Tokyo Akazukin... (don't know where you live, might not be legal in places like the UK

).
