Not that female dominated cast either to be honest

Plus Revy gets a lot of attention, arguably more popular and talked about than Rock 🤔. I don’t think it’s a good example at all.

I haven't watched Black Lagoon but what do you mean Revy isn't the main character?!

I mean, she kinda is. I think many people see rock as the main character, interestingly I’ve seen people refer to the show as isekai but not really isekai, because rock is just this normal office worker who suddenly is thrust into this colorful modern piracy world. Revy is very important to the story too tho with many episodes focused almost entirely on her. So kinda they are both leads, but rock feels like the protagonist a little more.

Edit: btw I highly recommend it. I do think the first third of it is much better than the second two thirds, but it’s all worth a watch. The first 8 episodes or so are just awesome

I'd disagree, while the number of male vs female cast member might be similar (idk if this is true, I just can't recall every character so I'll just give you that) most of the big movers and shakers that we as the audience get to see for each "tier" of power are women. For the kind of ground level characters we've got Revy, her friend from the ripoff church, the chinese bounty hunter with the knives, the cleaner, Roberta, Jane the counterfeiter isn't strong like the others but was definitely someone important. Then for the big dogs we've obviously got Balalaika who is probably the most influential of the big movers and shakers we see in the story because we get to see her plans unfold while the only other person we really see on her level is Chang whose plots we don't get to see, and then there's the head nun of the ripoff church. So even if the numbers are equal when it comes to narrative weight I'd say the ladies pull ahead.
