| harem is just like onionns works in levels haremest harem: all girls want the d lowest harem: 1 guy and a ton of girls not really want the d even below that: the guy is not even main character and everything in between because mal taggingn , you can be sure mal tagged harem is tends to be the haremest haremest kind |

| Harem by definition usually states "3+ members of the opposite gender who are romantically attracted to a single character". So yes if not all of the girls are interested in the MC romantically and it's less than 3 it's not a harem. Edit: I mean if you were to change the definition simply to "Notably more females than males" then something like say Lucky Star, Non Non Biyori or Flying Witch would be harem despite having no romantic elements whatsoever because there's only 1-2 guys and 3+ females. |

| no, if theres a bunch of girls but they don't really care about the guy i don't consider it a harem |
   |
| Fuck no. I don't even consider it an anime. Either all the cute babes want the D, or im walkin' |

| Harem requires romantic/physical attraction. Simple as that. |

| Well if you go by that then almost any anime could be a harem, there definitely do have to be at least three characters that are romantically interested in one character for it to be one |

| I hate harem anime because no matter how decent the plot is, the ending is always a lackluster, or even completely disappointing sometimes ( me is looking at you sora no otoshimono ). I can't remember any good harem anime that was good from the start to the end off the top of my head. I only worth notice is the world god only knows but even that turned horrible though out the end of the manga. Words cannot describe how immensely disappointed I was towards that series. |
| I'm never wrong. I once thought I was wrong, turns out, I was mistaken. |
| Yeah, if there's only one guy and a lot of girls it's a Harem. |
Since: 2016 x 09 x 20   |
| Yes, I do consider them my harem, except for dense MC-kun... Got a problem with that?! |
| Then...would Your Lie In April be counted as a mild-ish harem? |
 |
| This thread was already made....its called love triangle is not a harem or something |
| Yes OP, Acchi Kocchi, Chuunibyou, Sakurasou, Non Non Biyori, Saki, Amagi Brilliant Part, and Nanatsu no Taizai are all harems. This makes total logical sense because after all a harem doesn't have to be about a bunch of girls who all love the same guy, as long as there's at least one male character and at least three female characters then it's automatically a harem, no questions asked. After all, it's not like this tag is supposed to indicate anything about the plot, right? |
  |
| yes, any and all story with +3 female characters are harems, OP |
| The issue is more that sometimes people don't see that girls are interested in the guy when they don't literally shove their genitals in his face multiple times each episode. So yes, there need to be 3 girls or more interested in the MC, but that interest doesn't need to be super explicit and completely sexualized. But often people who like an anime with harem aspect are afraid to admit that these aspects are present so they will convince themselves that the girls aren't interested although to me it's pretty clear they are in one way or the other. Steins;Gate and the Monogatari Series both clearly have harem aspects in my perception (which doesn't prevent me from liking them a lot) but I've encountered a bunch of people who get really salty about it when you dare to think like that. Idk, they probably think saying something has harem aspects means dissing it which is totally not the case. For me to call something 'a harem' and not just 'a show with harem aspects' the harem needs to be the main focus by far though which isn't really the case in either of these shows I mentioned. Small difference, but a significant one imo. I don't mind harem aspects if the rest of the show is good but I don't think I can ever really enjoy a show that is built around a harem and doesn't have much else going on. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Okay... so I had a harem back then right, two younger sisters and my mom |
