* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
** The Shrike Team from ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' is a squad of full-female mobile suit pilots serving the League Militaire, who are [[spoiler: [[EverybodyDiesEnding ultimately killed off towards the end of the series]]]]. The Zanscare Empire's answer to developing a full-female team is the Neneka Corps, a squad of [[ChainmailBikini bazooka-toting bikini girls]] sent to distract Uso, except the intented psychological effect backfired by sending Uso into a HeroicBSOD instead and Neneka herself received the health effect of a [[NoBodyLeftBehind human body hit by a]] [[LaserBlade beam saber]].

* ''Anime/FuuunIshinDaiShogun'': BigBad Shigeyoshi Hitotsubashi is served by an all-female group of elite woman warriors, the Shinsengumi, as well as the already-introduced villain Houkoin. The latter is strong enough to take on the main three heroines (which include a 250 years old demon fox, a supposedly skilled ninja and a master swordswoman) on her own and win.
* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'': The ''Schwarzer Hase'' (German for Black Hares/Rabbits), complete with [[PuttingOnTheReich Nazi-esque uniforms]] and [[EyepatchOfPower matching eyepatches]].

%%* The Build Angels from ''Koutetsushin Jeeg'', a {{Revival}} of Creator/GoNagai's ''Anime/KotetsuJeeg''.
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''
** The 6th Mobile Division of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' definitely qualifies, as an archetypal military unit in a ImprobablyFemaleCast (although they do have [[TheOneGuy three guys and a dog-man]], technically.)
** The [[AntiVillain "villains"]] of the previous season probably qualify too, consisting of an ill girl, a female-anthropomorphized WeaponOfMassDestruction, TheThreeFacesOfEve, and TheOneGuy.
** Jail Scaglietti's "Numbers" in ''[=StrikerS=]'' count as well (no pun intended). Although that one had a rather disturbing justification: [[spoiler:Scaglietti needed his minions to be female so that he could impregnate them [[CloningGambit with clones of himself]].]]
** The Marriage from ''Audioplay/StrikersSoundStageX'' are an army of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot exploding cyborg zombies]], and every single one of them is apparantly female.
** Iris creates an entire army of [[MechaMooks Iris Units]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation'', and every single one of them is female in appearance. [[spoiler:Except for the one possessed by the downloaded personality of her father Phil Maxwell, who proves himself to be the real BigBad of the story.]]
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'':
** "Uncultured" Meltrandi tend to separate themselves from male [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Zentraedi]], forming their own all-female armies instead. Though [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Klan Klein and her Pixie Squadron]] are integrated into human society, they operate as their own elite unit.
** Fairy Squadron in ''Anime/MacrossII'', an all-female flight team led by ace pilot Sylvie Gena.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Applies to both [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]] at Tenbi Academy and [[TheBeautifulElite the Venus Unit:]]
** The student council was all female, until the academy went co-ed[[note]][[SupportingProtagonist Takeru]] [[ThoseTwoGuys and Usui]] are the only guys and serve in the junior division[[/note]]. Their primary task is to enforce and maintain discipline at the school, but they also protect it from external threats, such as [[NebulousEvilOrganization Kamigari.]]
** Venus Academy is a prestigious all-girl military school for {{foreign exchange student}}s, with the Venus Unit consisting of the elite among them. All of whom are high-level [[FunctionalMagic ability users]], ranging from S to SS-rank[[note]]"SS-rank" is the highest known level of ability in the series. Himegami and Martha Minerva are are the only two to ever exceed it[[/note]].
* The three female pilots on the ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' worked as an Amazon Brigade (Amazon Flight, really) before joining the crew, and usually act as a unit while Akito or Akatsuki are off doing their own thing during the series. The [[BridgeBunnies ship's bridge crew]] is a couple of non-commissioned adjutants and [[TheOneGuy one girly XO]] away from this trope as well.
* The titular Otome of ''Anime/MyOtome'', although there is a TechnoBabble explanation for their powers being exclusive to [[VirginPower female virgins]]. While an Otome usually works alone, doing her Master's bidding, the Five Columns (who have no Master) are an actual team.
* Simeon's girl squadron in ''Manga/{{NEEDLESS}}'', consisting of [[SuperSpeed Setsuna]], [[CuteBruiser Mio]] and [[TalkingWithSigns Kuchinashi]]. Don't be fooled by their cuteness.
%%* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''
%%** The War Maiden Brigade of the Ariadne Magic Knights in the MagicWorld.
%%** Negi's TrueCompanions also fit, especially in both anime series, where Kotaro doesn't exist.
%%** The BigBad Fate has an all-female group of partners.
* Amazon Lily from ''Manga/OnePiece'' being a LadyLand, its warriors obviously qualify. They are called the Kuja Pirates, and consist of the most powerful warriors of the island. Most of the Kuja Pirates are also very beautiful, as the Kuja believe strength is beauty; appropriately, their captain Boa Hancock is considered the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman ''and'' is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
* In ''LightNovel/OnlySenseOnline'', Myu leads one party of [[GamerChick Gamer Chicks]] in the titular game and this party is renowned in-game for its excellent teamwork and combat prowess.
* ''Anime/PrettyCure'' is always either this or LovelyAngels. ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', notably, featured a four-woman Amazon Brigade made of two pairs of LovelyAngels.
** The BatFamilyCrossover movie series ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' gathers all ''Pretty Cure'' teams together every year. The next movie will have '''36''' current members.
* ''Anime/ProjectAko'': Captain Napolitalita's crew consisted entirely of women, who looked and sounded ''[[UnsettlingGenderReveal like MEN]]''! Used as the punchline at the end of the first film, as they were the seemingly unstoppable alien menace that had smashed through Earth's defenses - only to be inadvertently thwarted by [[CatFight a pair of feuding highschool girls.]]
%%* The Pleiades Saints in ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica''.
* Franchise/SailorMoon and her Sailor Senshi, the MagicalGirlWarrior rulers of their respective celestial bodies, as well as ''many'' EvilCounterpart teams with parallel power sets that double as DarkMagicalGirl {{Quirky Miniboss Squad}}s for their respective arc BigBad, whether the Black Moon family's Ayakashi Sisters, the Death Busters' Witches 5, the Dead Moon Circus' Amazoness Quartet, or Shadow Galactica's Sailor Animamates. ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' even references it in the ThemeSong: "We're not weak girls/Who need men's protection". And Sailor Mars and Venus also even said "We do not need man" in the manga. (This is to show them abandon to court and focused on soldier's responsibility.)
* In ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'', any group with multiple Sekirei is this by default. Most noteworthy are Minato's BattleHarem, Sanada of the West's team of three, and the Discipline Squad, while the other two major groups (the South and the East) don't function as units to the same degree. The first incarnation of the Discipline Squad remains legendary for their strength, as well as having been the one version to include TheOneGuy.
* The characters in ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'' are technically "maidens" [[HumanOutsideAlienInside lacking a permanent sex]], but they look the part.
%%* Integra, Accela, Sylvia and Celica make up the R.U.C.'s PROCEED squad in ''Anime/SoltyRei''.
* In ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky'', the Helvetian Army fields all-female tank crews, the main characters being the 1121st tank platoon.
* The 501st Joint Fighter Wing, a.k.a. the Anime/StrikeWitches. They're reportedly [[InspiredBy "inspired by"]] the RealLife WWII Night Witches (see below), and the character of Sanya Litvyak is even [[InNameOnly "based on"]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilya_Litvyak Lilya Litvyak.]]
* The Treue (German for "loyalty") Unit in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Original Generation'', and it's not just "coincidence" like many others; the unit is, for some reason, for females only. Note: these three are all wiped out over the course of their respective series' the Gundam teams get killed, while as an enemy unit in the game, you take out the Treue unit yourself, save for one known pilot, who later joins your squad.
* Near the end of ''Manga/TokyoESP'' [[spoiler: Rinka, Nadja, Kobushi, Kozuki, and Minami form one in one huge EnemyMine to take on ARES.]] It's as badass as it sounds.
%%* In ''Manga/WorldTrigger'', both The A-ranked Kako Squad and the B-ranked Nasu Squad fulfill this.
* In the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' franchise, many female duelists have either mostly female monsters or monsters that make their decks look feminine.
** Mai Kujaku is a prime example, who uses both Harpies ''and'' Amazoness monsters. The Harpies might be the TropeCodifier for the franchise, since this archetype has [[TookALevelInBadass Taken a Level in Badass]] for several years and has become a strong meta archetype.
** Anzu uses mostly female monsters or angelic creatures. The monster Maha Vailo, which she uses in the virtual world, has an AmbiguousGender.
** Rebecca's second deck includes a lot of female monsters, but she mixes them with Dragon-Type cards as well.
** [[{{Camp}} Siegfried]] uses a Valkyrie deck and even his three Permanent Spell Cards are based off goddesses.
** Asuka's Cyber Girl deck is DanceBattler-themed, most notably ballerinas.
** Rei's first deck plays it straight. Subverted later with her second and third deck.
** Tania uses an Amazoness Deck and she beats Misawa several times before she is defeated by Judai.
** Subverted with Aki. She only has a few female looking monsters, and the majority of her monsters are monstrous Plant-Type monsters.
** Carly uses a Fortune Fairy deck, which is made of weak, cute fairies. After becoming a Dark Signer, her monsters evolve to Fortune Ladies, which become stronger for each Level they have and their Levels increase each turn.
** Misty uses a Reptilliane deck, but rather than having sexy women, her deck consists of creepy female snake-people dressed in dresses who tend to look more beastly than human.
** Sherry uses a knight-themed deck which contains {{Action Girl}}s who are based of UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc.
** Kotori's deck is based of Fairy-Types, notably ones that resemble cheerleaders.
** Cathy's deck is based of {{Cat Girl}}s and cats.
** While Rio's Main Decks includes only ice birds, her Extra Deck has only humanoid female monsters.
** Droite's deck is based of butterfly women.
** Yuzu uses a Melodious deck which contains female Fairy-Type monsters based on musicians.
** Serena uses a Lunalight deck which contains female Beast-Warrior-Type monsters. Her deck shares some parallels to ''Manga/SailorMoon''.
** Ruri uses a Lyrilusc deck, which consists of bird-like girls.
** Mieru uses a Sibyll deck, which are all female monsters with a fortune telling theme.
** Ayu's deck is based of fish ladies.
** Gloria and Grace Tyler use an Amazoness deck too.
** Aoi uses a Trickstar deck, which are idol-based fairies.
** Emma uses an Altergeist deck, which are spell-casters that are based on various female ghosts in mythologies, though rather monstrous looking.
* In ''Manga/YuunaAndTheHauntedHotSprings'' the Demon Slaying Ninjas are all women.
* As {{Idol Singer}}s in a time where entertainment is banned, ''Anime/{{AKB0048}}'' have to be able to defend themselves. They adhere to ThouShaltNotKill, though.

The Zanscare Empire's answer to developing a full-female team is the Neneka Corps, a squad of [[ChainmailBikini bazooka-toting bikini girls]] sent to distract Uso, except the intented psychological effect backfired by sending Uso into a HeroicBSOD instead and Neneka herself received the health effect of a [[NoBodyLeftBehind human body hit by a]] [[LaserBlade beam saber]].
** The Teiwaz combatants in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' consists of the harem of [[TheOneGuy Naze Turbine]], everyone of them, if not a ship crew, is a mobile suit pilot.
*** Inverted by the Gjallarhorn Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet, the entire crews are [[{{Bishonen}} pretty blonde young men]], who only answer to [[TheSquadette Carta Issue]] and are [[HasAType meant to resemble [=McGillis=] Fareed]].
%%** The three test pilots for the Astray [[HumongousMecha mobile suits]] in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]''.
* ''Anime/FuuunIshinDaiShogun'': BigBad Shigeyoshi Hitotsubashi is served by an all-female group of elite woman warriors, the Shinsengumi, as well as the already-introduced villain Houkoin. The latter is strong enough to take on the main three heroines (which include a 250 years old demon fox, a supposedly skilled ninja and a master swordswoman) on her own and win.
* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'': The ''Schwarzer Hase'' (German for Black Hares/Rabbits), complete with [[PuttingOnTheReich Nazi-esque uniforms]] and [[EyepatchOfPower matching eyepatches]]. Come to think of it, just about every squad found in this series fall into this trope since the titular [[PowerArmor exoskeletons]] can [[GirlPowered only be used by women]]. The only exception is main character Ichika and the eventual (inevitable?) BattleHarem that forms around him.
* The Impact Blue team in ''Manga/InitialD'' subverts the WomenDrivers trope. In ''Extra Stages'', this shows how better they are against male drivers.
%%* The Build Angels from ''Koutetsushin Jeeg'', a {{Revival}} of Creator/GoNagai's ''Anime/KotetsuJeeg''.
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''
** The 6th Mobile Division of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'' definitely qualifies, as an archetypal military unit in a ImprobablyFemaleCast (although they do have [[TheOneGuy three guys and a dog-man]], technically.)
** The [[AntiVillain "villains"]] of the previous season probably qualify too, consisting of an ill girl, a female-anthropomorphized WeaponOfMassDestruction, TheThreeFacesOfEve, and TheOneGuy.
** Jail Scaglietti's "Numbers" in ''[=StrikerS=]'' count as well (no pun intended). Although that one had a rather disturbing justification: [[spoiler:Scaglietti needed his minions to be female so that he could impregnate them [[CloningGambit with clones of himself]].]]
** The Marriage from ''Audioplay/StrikersSoundStageX'' are an army of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot exploding cyborg zombies]], and every single one of them is apparantly female.
** Iris creates an entire army of [[MechaMooks Iris Units]] in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation'', and every single one of them is female in appearance. [[spoiler:Except for the one possessed by the downloaded personality of her father Phil Maxwell, who proves himself to be the real BigBad of the story.]]
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'':
** "Uncultured" Meltrandi tend to separate themselves from male [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Zentraedi]], forming their own all-female armies instead. Though [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Klan Klein and her Pixie Squadron]] are integrated into human society, they operate as their own elite unit.
** Fairy Squadron in ''Anime/MacrossII'', an all-female flight team led by ace pilot Sylvie Gena.
* ''Manga/MakenKi'': Applies to both [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]] at Tenbi Academy and [[TheBeautifulElite the Venus Unit:]]
** The student council was all female, until the academy went co-ed[[note]][[SupportingProtagonist Takeru]] [[ThoseTwoGuys and Usui]] are the only guys and serve in the junior division[[/note]]. Their primary task is to enforce and maintain discipline at the school, but they also protect it from external threats, such as [[NebulousEvilOrganization Kamigari.]]
** Venus Academy is a prestigious all-girl military school for {{foreign exchange student}}s, with the Venus Unit consisting of the elite among them. All of whom are high-level [[FunctionalMagic ability users]], ranging from S to SS-rank[[note]]"SS-rank" is the highest known level of ability in the series. Himegami and Martha Minerva are are the only two to ever exceed it[[/note]].
* The three female pilots on the ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' worked as an Amazon Brigade (Amazon Flight, really) before joining the crew, and usually act as a unit while Akito or Akatsuki are off doing their own thing during the series. The [[BridgeBunnies ship's bridge crew]] is a couple of non-commissioned adjutants and [[TheOneGuy one girly XO]] away from this trope as well.
* The titular Otome of ''Anime/MyOtome'', although there is a TechnoBabble explanation for their powers being exclusive to [[VirginPower female virgins]]. While an Otome usually works alone, doing her Master's bidding, the Five Columns (who have no Master) are an actual team.
* Simeon's girl squadron in ''Manga/{{NEEDLESS}}'', consisting of [[SuperSpeed Setsuna]], [[CuteBruiser Mio]] and [[TalkingWithSigns Kuchinashi]]. Don't be fooled by their cuteness.
%%* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''
%%** The War Maiden Brigade of the Ariadne Magic Knights in the MagicWorld.
%%** Negi's TrueCompanions also fit, especially in both anime series, where Kotaro doesn't exist.
%%** The BigBad Fate has an all-female group of partners.
* Amazon Lily from ''Manga/OnePiece'' being a LadyLand, its warriors obviously qualify. They are called the Kuja Pirates, and consist of the most powerful warriors of the island. Most of the Kuja Pirates are also very beautiful, as the Kuja believe strength is beauty; appropriately, their captain Boa Hancock is considered the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman ''and'' is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
* In ''LightNovel/OnlySenseOnline'', Myu leads one party of [[GamerChick Gamer Chicks]] in the titular game and this party is renowned in-game for its excellent teamwork and combat prowess.
* ''Anime/PrettyCure'' is always either this or LovelyAngels. ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', notably, featured a four-woman Amazon Brigade made of two pairs of LovelyAngels.
** The BatFamilyCrossover movie series ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' gathers all ''Pretty Cure'' teams together every year. The next movie will have '''36''' current members.
* ''Anime/ProjectAko'': Captain Napolitalita's crew consisted entirely of women, who looked and sounded ''[[UnsettlingGenderReveal like MEN]]''! Used as the punchline at the end of the first film, as they were the seemingly unstoppable alien menace that had smashed through Earth's defenses - only to be inadvertently thwarted by [[CatFight a pair of feuding highschool girls.]]
%%* The Pleiades Saints in ''Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica''.
* Franchise/SailorMoon and her Sailor Senshi, the MagicalGirlWarrior rulers of their respective celestial bodies, as well as ''many'' EvilCounterpart teams with parallel power sets that double as DarkMagicalGirl {{Quirky Miniboss Squad}}s for their respective arc BigBad, whether the Black Moon family's Ayakashi Sisters, the Death Busters' Witches 5, the Dead Moon Circus' Amazoness Quartet, or Shadow Galactica's Sailor Animamates. ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' even references it in the ThemeSong: "We're not weak girls/Who need men's protection". And Sailor Mars and Venus also even said "We do not need man" in the manga. (This is to show them abandon to court and focused on soldier's responsibility.)
* In ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'', any group with multiple Sekirei is this by default. Most noteworthy are Minato's BattleHarem, Sanada of the West's team of three, and the Discipline Squad, while the other two major groups (the South and the East) don't function as units to the same degree. The first incarnation of the Discipline Squad remains legendary for their strength, as well as having been the one version to include TheOneGuy.
* The characters in ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'' are technically "maidens" [[HumanOutsideAlienInside lacking a permanent sex]], but they look the part.
%%* Integra, Accela, Sylvia and Celica make up the R.U.C.'s PROCEED squad in ''Anime/SoltyRei''.
* In ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky'', the Helvetian Army fields all-female tank crews, the main characters being the 1121st tank platoon.
* The 501st Joint Fighter Wing, a.k.a. the Anime/StrikeWitches. They're reportedly [[InspiredBy "inspired by"]] the RealLife WWII Night Witches (see below), and the character of Sanya Litvyak is even [[InNameOnly "based on"]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilya_Litvyak Lilya Litvyak.]]
* The Treue (German for "loyalty") Unit in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Original Generation'', and it's not just "coincidence" like many others; the unit is, for some reason, for females only. Note: these three are all wiped out over the course of their respective series' the Gundam teams get killed, while as an enemy unit in the game, you take out the Treue unit yourself, save for one known pilot, who later joins your squad.
* Near the end of ''Manga/TokyoESP'' [[spoiler: Rinka, Nadja, Kobushi, Kozuki, and Minami form one in one huge EnemyMine to take on ARES.]] It's as badass as it sounds.
%%* In ''Manga/WorldTrigger'', both The A-ranked Kako Squad and the B-ranked Nasu Squad fulfill this.
* In the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' franchise, many female duelists have either mostly female monsters or monsters that make their decks look feminine.
** Mai Kujaku is a prime example, who uses both Harpies ''and'' Amazoness monsters. The Harpies might be the TropeCodifier for the franchise, since this archetype has [[TookALevelInBadass Taken a Level in Badass]] for several years and has become a strong meta archetype.
** Anzu uses mostly female monsters or angelic creatures. The monster Maha Vailo, which she uses in the virtual world, has an AmbiguousGender.
** Rebecca's second deck includes a lot of female monsters, but she mixes them with Dragon-Type cards as well.
** [[{{Camp}} Siegfried]] uses a Valkyrie deck and even his three Permanent Spell Cards are based off goddesses.
** Asuka's Cyber Girl deck is DanceBattler-themed, most notably ballerinas.
** Rei's first deck plays it straight. Subverted later with her second and third deck.
** Tania uses an Amazoness Deck and she beats Misawa several times before she is defeated by Judai.
** Subverted with Aki. She only has a few female looking monsters, and the majority of her monsters are monstrous Plant-Type monsters.
** Carly uses a Fortune Fairy deck, which is made of weak, cute fairies. After becoming a Dark Signer, her monsters evolve to Fortune Ladies, which become stronger for each Level they have and their Levels increase each turn.
** Misty uses a Reptilliane deck, but rather than having sexy women, her deck consists of creepy female snake-people dressed in dresses who tend to look more beastly than human.
** Sherry uses a knight-themed deck which contains {{Action Girl}}s who are based of UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc.
** Kotori's deck is based of Fairy-Types, notably ones that resemble cheerleaders.
** Cathy's deck is based of {{Cat Girl}}s and cats.
** While Rio's Main Decks includes only ice birds, her Extra Deck has only humanoid female monsters.
** Droite's deck is based of butterfly women.
** Yuzu uses a Melodious deck which contains female Fairy-Type monsters based on musicians.
** Serena uses a Lunalight deck which contains female Beast-Warrior-Type monsters. Her deck shares some parallels to ''Manga/SailorMoon''.
** Ruri uses a Lyrilusc deck, which consists of bird-like girls.
** Mieru uses a Sibyll deck, which are all female monsters with a fortune telling theme.
** Ayu's deck is based of fish ladies.
** Gloria and Grace Tyler use an Amazoness deck too.
** Aoi uses a Trickstar deck, which are idol-based fairies.
** Emma uses an Altergeist deck, which are spell-casters that are based on various female ghosts in mythologies, though rather monstrous looking.
* In ''Manga/YuunaAndTheHauntedHotSprings'' the Demon Slaying Ninjas are all women.
