For me I've found that Aiko 3 and other Aiko versions do a good job for female anime characters. I just takes some patience to get the look that you want. I haven't tried yet, but I think the Girl will work for creating anime characters.

I have a bunch of examples in my Renderosity gallery There is also an Everything Aiko thread that has examples from other people as well https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2890742

This is Aiko 3. She's an older character, but still has a lot of use.
