Well, that depends on what you mean by anime. If you are referring to the shounen genre, (which is the most promoted genre in the US) then yes.
The shoujo genre however is mostly female protagonists.

And considering the wide popularity of Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl), xxxHolic, Patlabor, Escaflowne, Cardcaptor Sakura, Psycho Pass, Cutey Honey, Moribito, Kill la Kill and (to a lesser extend) Rozen Maiden, Gosick, etc, I think people in general are fine with "female lead + male support" as long as the story is good, well-executed and entertaining.

I heard that for Dr. Slump, mangaka Toriyama wanted the scientist to be the MC, but in the end he chose the robot Arale.
Also, I think in one of the later parts, Araki decided to use female protagonist, seeing at as a challenge since the series always relied on guys. |
