Typically in Animeland even 600-year-old fertility goddesses are 15-year-olds with zero agency.

Not typically, the zero agency part depends on the anime.

There is much, much more variety in anime than there is in Western cartoons. Thus, while it's easy to find incredibly sexist anime that make our shows look like feminist masterpieces, you can also easily find series like The Slayers and Sailor Moon and Fullmetal Alchemist whose female characters are awe-inspiringly great.
