But even the exceptions except for the Monogatari franchise cannot even get close to being as good as the best of other Genres. While I personally dislike harems, I can see the appeal in them. A guy who is generally average finds himself being surrounded by many hot women who desire him. Or if the woman doesn't like him right off the bat it won't take much effort from the guy to have the girl fall in love with him.
Extect said: Because it's the waifus that matter to us trashy anime fans and not the story's or the character. The character interactions in harems are the best part of harems. By having a bunch of different types of girls going after one person can be very funny because of the conflicts that arise from their interactions.
They usually are light hearted and generally if you want something more serious and more developed characters you should watch a love triangle instead. This is the same with many genres I notice, harems, ecchi and mecha tho none of them are genres actually seem to be the ones that get the most hate and quite often seem to be called the same or boring, ehhhhh Another thing, calling it empowerment or wish fullfilment just does not seem to sit with me, maybe Japanese like that but most western harem fans juat seem to care about the girls alone, not the fact thet they are horny for the MC, another thing is when people say most of the characters are lifeless tropes, well done, this is the case with most series and almost always whenever I hear that sort of argument I see people having anime with lifeless tropy characters in their favorites as well.
Harem is not a genre to begin with either as mentioned before, it tells you nothing about the plot other than that the MC is gonna be surrounded by either hot girls or hot boys which btw everyone is as always forgetting "reverse" harems exist too. EDIT: Also I really wanna add it but harems are NOT popular, especially in the west, they get a lot of hate as most replies in the thread prove and most people either avoids them or shits on them.
The same reason as why comedies, thrillers and supernatural stuffs are popular They're enjoyable shit. You gave up your freedom of speech when you clicked Agree to the User Agreement This is not a public platform.
It plays onto the most basic desire of a man. As an expert in the field says:. Everyone has a stereotypical character they like and want them to win.
Didn't have a thread exactly like that some weeks ago? MAL's threads sure recycle themselves really quick. About the actual topic; they have cute girls and are liked by the kind of audience they are directed, it doesn't has any more mystery, tbh. Because deep down under these otaku hearts, they wish to have all these anime girls in the show and secretly self-insert with the MC to fulfill their wish.
I'm quite sure you know the reason but just want to rant on harem shows. I love how some fans always get so defensive when someone reminds them of their shit taste. Also trying to prove variety in harems? XD Ofc theyre different to some degree but its a fact that they have the least differences out of any genre. Nothing wrong with it, but your constant denial implies that you think so. Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime!
It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! Because what male doesn't want to be surrounded by women? Because people like them? Though Japan likes them more than Westerners because I'm not going to generalize but a lot of people don't like them. In the end I don't really give a lot of shit. Taking the thing aside does it really matter if they are the same or not? I think if you put it into perspective to new watchers I guess to put it simply they can select the ones that seem to their liking until they get tired of the trend.
If that makes sense. For old people or people that have watched anime for a long time, depends really. Though a lot would want something new and refreshing or, they want better executed ones. Also OP I've seen this kind of thread so many times that I'm losing track with repeated threads myself. Then again this is just my thought, no offense. Why are sport anime is so popular? They are essentially the same thing about individual or team entering tournament. Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded.
Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. SpaghettiSpike said: I love how some fans always get so defensive when someone reminds them of their shit taste. Dunno man. If you ask me, I find them really annoying, I can't stand seeing a girl get hurt because she wasn't the one chosen.

Like whatever you want guys, just dont hope anyone will take you seriously after saying nonsense like that.

However, while stuck there, Hajime survives and becomes stronger, eventually escaping alongside the imprisoned vampire Yue and becoming a mercenary. As the story develops, Hajime and Yue begin to have feelings for one another. Hajime and Yue's relationship blossoms as they survive and escape the lower levels of a dungeon filled with monsters. However, Hajime also slowly gains the affection of the other female characters in his party, including the rabbit girl Shea Haulia and the dragon lady Tio Klarus.
However, Hajime remains loyal to Yue throughout the series. However, he has a selfless and caring personality when it comes to his friends. Tomoya befriends several female classmates, including Nagisa Furukawa, a timid girl with an unfortunate illness that forces her to depend on others. The story focuses on Tomoya's journey to self-discovery as he develops strong relationships with his peers and comes to terms with his issues and hardships. Clannad is an emotional rollercoaster.
The series' main romantic storyline is between Tomoya and Nagisa, and although Tomoya has intimate moments with many supporting female characters, these tend to be selfless acts of friendship rather than anything romantic.
All five Nakano sisters have horrible academic grades, and they initially aren't thrilled to have Futaro as a tutor. Polyandry, or a wife having multiple husbands, rarely happened compared to polygamy.
However, in historical cases the men and women who had harems were capable and leaders. They lack the skills, drive, and ability necessary for society to accept their harem.
Their blandness may allow viewers to project, but it would also break their ability to attract a harem. Likewise polyandry happened when women wielded political and military power. Harems appear around people in power, not around plainness. Of course, this is part of the fantasy. When viewer projects into a harem story, all of these associations come with the harem. It may not reflect in the story, but the association of possession and power and wealth remains in the unconscious.
Lately, harem stories bring this possession idea to the forefront, particularly in the trapped-in-a-game stories. For example, Satou acquires Liza, Tama, Pochi as slaves. He treats them as equals, but they are still acquired as opposed to them pursuing him. While the pursuit method is chauvinistic, at least the females have some autonomy: they choose to pursue him. However, the acquisition harem removes this. If anything, this style comes closer to history because in these stories the protagonist is usually powerful.
Harem anime will continue to attract viewers. The genre has built-in tension and conflict, but most of the stories follow a worn-out template. But this problem extends to all genres of anime. Harem anime has the potential to address issues of objectification, power, and communication if it can move beyond projection and escapism. Driscoll, Catherine Humans and Harems?
Biol Philos. International Journal of Sociology of the Family. Journal of Asia Pacific Studies. This is why male Japs prefer the very empty and baseless harem stories. The Japs are a nation that is permanently incapable of growing up. If gun control in this country were to be lifted, we would see suicide bombers routinely using anime, manga, and video games as the reason for their attacks, just like the corrupt states in the Middle East.
What a childish and stupid country. I agree that many harem stories encourage a wrong view of women. Calling people childish, barbaric, and the like will close their ears to your message.
It does not help. That is why liberals and the left have been defeated by the right. The masses focus on the more sensationalist reports, words and actions, and no one will listen if they are mishandled in clean language.
