I don't hate them....a few of my favorites are harem, in fact. Even though I am absolutely NOT the target audience....I really like the romance and normally watch them for the two leads.

If it ends without the MC choosing the right girl though, I do get angry. lol

I dislike most harems, but a few are good.
I just think most of them are stereotypical and all the same.

Although, if there's a good amount of blood I may enjoy it more.

&no, not an elitist.

Kore wa Zombie Desuka?
Mahou Sensei Negima

If "generic trash" means "good-looking guy who is courteous and kind to girls without seeing them as sex toys' then I will take "generic trash" any day.

To be fair Negima anime is completely trash but the manga is really good, has a really solid plot, and is one of the best ones for it's genre. Blade Dance also gets much better in the later parts of LN.

Because harem animes arent that good usualy. There are just few examples that worth to watch. Actualy females are more into in harems than males.

I love harem animes but they are just half stupid ass action animes too mostly; monster was good for example with just normal guy, liked Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate as well. Just need slice of life in harems not supernatural or action

I just find it silly.

A love triangle or something, I can understand, but some of these leads have literally dozens of women after them.
It gets to a point where I don't even care for these characters, they're just numbers to me.

Oh hell no, even with Western audiences, generic shoujo leads don't get an amount of hate ANYWHERE NEAR the amount male leads get.

Mostly because female fans are more tolerable of characters, I think.

harem is basically wish fulfiment for people that can never get girls in real life
people love to self insert as the beta male mc that gets every pussy in the world for not doing anything
also the genre is generic as fuck every character has to be archtype with barely any personality
the only plot progressoin it has is adding more girls to the harem
and they usually end with nothing resolved so it is a awful genre

I remember asking why people don't hate shoujo MCs or something like that and someone told me to go lurk in the forums. But yeah you're right. I still don't get why these edgy teens hate on the "nice" guys you see on harem and is always asking for a "badass" MC that the Japanese otakus wouldn't be able to relate to, especially much less if the harem anime is based on a VN.

I don't know - do they ? A majority ?

so far, I think as one premise among many it is fine.
It is probably one of the oldest male fantasies, as old as soon as brains were good enough to build such fantasies. I can imagine proto-human males having harem fantasies when control over fire was still a sometimes-yes, sometimes-fail thing.

And yes, sometimes it is interesting to see/think about if male MC or female cast actually get more consideration as characters - depth, backstory, authenticity (other than falling for the male).
Also - who is really in control - the one male or one or several or all of the females ?
Until now, I still find it interesting, not just as a fantasy, but also to ponder over.

But - I am new to this thing. So maybe one day I'll feel like this :

The very few I've seen so far, male MCs were somewhere between decent to very attractive.

Of the Icons of Anime, the Harem has long known great discord. Since its very conception and throughout the ages Harem has swelled in following, lost favour, and then grown once again.

Long divided, the Harem must be whole. Long whole, the Harem must be divided.
When the Harem is united, mankind knows favour and glories beyond imagining. When the Harem is disunited, chaos and misalignment reigns.


Why does Animedom face such conflict on the issue of Harem? It is because of its magnificence.
Harem as a whole is so wondrous and enlarged that its true form is beyond mortal comprehension: its extremities are a bliss engorged with wonder beyond all worldly desires.

Its glories to much to bear, Harem is thus divided. Divided, its wonders are countless and endless, yet they are not whole, and therefore not at their pinnacle.
Separated, Harem can be found in all facets, in all Anime, in all life. Its spread pieces form the bedrock of all society: it is love, hate, greed, lust, envy, sloth, and wrath.

In its manifold form Harem's true worth is hidden, such that it does not blind us with its beauty. Harem therefore hides perfection in imperfection. Never can we know the full greatness of Harem, never can we know the perfection of its Heaven.

The Elusive Harem is thus instigator of despair, as none can have it all, yet all know it in part. This rightly stimulates longing within all persons, and all persons seek in their heart Harem completed - yet never can its whole be found by mortal men.

Therefore, the ultimate appreciation of Harem can only be found in those of utmost sophistication - it is a balancing act of imagination and restraint. Imagination of its missing parts, restraint in one's wretched primal urges.

Blinded as we are, man can only hope to edge over this precipice and imagine the possibility of Harem.

But never do we give up hope - the belief that one day, Harem will return to us in all its gloried self.
Emina.
