Cop Craft

MC Female Detectives are quite rare. Here's a collection of them.
Some are less realistic detectives, e.g. in a magic show.
Only the most prevalent anime (meaning an anime not difficult to find) that they are an MC in is included in this list. This excludes sequels and such.

Hands up, don't shoot! Here some of the best titles on a police theme I can think of. Most of them take place in the future and there are even police mechs in one of franchises!

Anime with jazzy James Bond-esque OPs/EDs.

May include:

- graphic style
- bold pops of color against black
- stark silhouettes
- spotlight
- grungy and splattery textures
- people pointing / shooting handguns
- reflected images
- casino imagery (poker chips, dice, playing cards, etc.)
- spies / detectives / assassins / space cowboys
- cocktail dresses and tuxedos
- swing dancing
- kicking / fighting
- jazz music with lots of trumpets

Shows that feature main characters with twintails or prominent pigtails. Will be updated when I have some spare time since I have a larger list of them.

Anime that have a female main character that is strong. This can include: strong willed, an intellectual, physically strong, magically adept or a mix of those traits. Most of the time they are portrayed as mature and respectful.

These traits makes the character(s) heads above the average female portrayal in the anime medium.

For this list, the character[s} are:
-- Strong (of course)
and
-- A Woman (adult female / mature for their age teen)
and
-- A Main Character
or
-- Not main but appears often in the anime (not a one episode cameo character)

Please let me know if there are others out there that I have yet to have the pleasure of viewing, or left out by accident.

Thanks!

Q. What's the criteria for this list?

A. MC shouldn't be too annoying, or an ultimate cuck who overacts around women (I know, kinda hard to find these men in anime). Fun combat, interesting world and an OP MC, sounds fun.

Genres might vary, not everything has to be about fighting.
