I actually liked the myriad of - admittedly sketchy characters - females. At least they kicked butt rather than sitting around looking pretty. *rubs hands together evilly*
Weiss Kreuz isn't the best anime, so that's to be expected, since the whole marketing is aimed at younger boys who will be impressed by their skills and how they have women around them in droves, and girls/women of all ages who lust after their 'prettiness' and perfection for slash/yaoi stories.
I tend to find those who hate female characters such as Amelia from Slayers or Shampoo from Ranma or Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi to be grasping at straws or simply making a lot of things up in order to give themselves reasons to hate female characters.
One oft-used reason for Amelia is the glomping of Zelgadis (oddly enough, in *this* case, it's the Lina/Zelgadis shippers who find Amelia intolerable) when throughout the series, she almost never actually glomped or even touched him without his permission. Etc. etc.
