+Anko says: Going with what several of the people said, in action oriented anime, most women of the main cast are there to compliment the main protagonist. Ultimately they seem useless, despite having some abilities to defend themselves. But understand that all of them are not that way. Using Bleach as an example, Yoruichi and Karin (Ichigo's little sister) break the mold in being strong, aggressive and self reliant.
In Naruto, another popular anime, Sakura was known for being one of the most useless characters in the anime next as one of the main cast. However she breaks this mold in Shippuden.
There's anime out there with female protaganist who that are definitely not the weak, damsel in distress type. Major Matoko from Ghost in the Shell, Kallen from Code Geass, Kino from Kino's Journy, just about every female character in Ranma 1/2, even Kagome from Inuyasha. (I hate using her as an example)
Even down to video game characters, Ayane from Tenchu is my favorite example. Fact of the matter is, it's not just anime, but a lot of western movies who adopted, if not started, the damsel in distress/weak female character persona. There is a diversity the character types though.
