Enjoyable at first, but the more I see the less enjoyable they become. Most of them are to cliché to enjoy anymore.

No author seems to be capable of manifesting a sensible, respectable story post-harem...

In the end it almost always becomes a mindless tug of war between harem members to get a largely forgettable, uninspiring male lead but i digress.
I had 2 girls in my highschool actually catfight for such a boy before so..
Maybe the suspension of disbelief here is actually acceptable??

Some are bad (e.g. Infinite stratos). For obvious reasons.

As long as they provide decent character backstory and the protagonist isn't a complete baka, they're worth watching. Imo

I generally hate them, but there have been a few reverse harems I've enjoyed (more despite them being harems, not because of it). Only for manga, though. For some reason the cheese just gets amplified in anime. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a male or female harem anime.. unless you start defining it really loosely, I guess.

Some of them are very enjoyable and have someting else other then ecchi to speak off be it characters, world or story or both.

Then again many are just complete average or below mindless works.

It's a subgenre I don't hate.

If the primary genre is to my liking (comedy > Romance> SoL/ Drama > Mystery > Psychological) then a harem subgenre tag is not gonna stop me.

Though when it's comedy+harem, usually comedy is the subgenre (or falsely tagged with zero real comedy and only MC falling on boobs) and in those cases I do extra research.

The same for romance+harem.

This kind of series depend heavily on the MC imo, even if it's surrounded by lots of amazing chick, if the MC was a goddamn piece of shit mofo *coughRakuIchika*cough then it would become a goddamn disgusting series.

They can be a lot of fun if the characters are unusual enough. Date A Live has a great cast. That said, too often the harem aspect is the weakness. The MC is boring and it leaves the writers with nothing to do.

Definitely a case of "Hate the player (series), not the game (genre)." There are some I like and others I detest, so I can't give an absolute statement on the genre.

They can be good but most harems are just average, not good enough comedy, not good enough ecchi, not good enough characters, story, etc. Most are quite similar to each other, but the genre itself has potential.

Ass and tits gets pretty boring after your first harem, and it's like, why be teased when you can go watch actual pornography? Most of us watch our shows on the Internet anyways.

Love harem series, since I get to see a lot of characters and how more how better in my opinion and of course they need to be awesome. I really love roman/ecchi so harem is smth that needs to be in the anime, but I don't mind if an anime doesn't have it :P.

They aren't as enjoyable to watch anymore. I prefer not watching harem as much, but some of them are interesting. I also prefer it when a the mc actually chooses someone in the end too. If there's too much ecchi, it bothers me too, but that's for another discussion~

Moe is a feeling the viewer has towards a character, it is not an intrinsic property of a character. Since the girls in harem anime are meant to be appealing, it's guaranteed that they will make viewers feel moe towards them.

Harem anime does not necessarily have ecchi in it.

I can't stand harem endings so I keep away from the genre in general. I don't understand the appeal of harem endings...I'd rather have my least favorite girl win than have nobody win, because at least there is closure. When there is a harem ending I feel like I wasted my time with an incomplete story.

The problem is they can easily get stale and episodic. There are teases of "progress", like relationship-development or story-development... but then through some "cliché romcom scene" these developments are completely negated and the whole arc which could have gone for quite some time completely loses significence and everything is basically reset to what it was like before the arc started, which means the arc could basically be skipped alltogether. It's a very popular thing to do if you want to "extend" a series endlessly, but that in itself is the absolutely worst kind of writing one could use.

I generally tend to avoid such type of stories if possible. When I read the Rosario+Vampire manga in the past I liked how it had some gradual progress and that the main character actually had shown progress as well. After that I read to-love-ru... and I was disillusioned. That's where I started to hate this kind of "stale" writing that to-love-ru demonstrated and I prefer the kind of harem stories like Rosario+Vampire (the manga only though, the anime can go to hell)
