Just finished Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai manga. Turns out there's an route/ending for each girl. Do you want to see this type of direction for Romance/Harem anime? Or is this too much of a pussy move for catering towards everyone?

Either way is fine. One is packed with drama and the other pleases everyone.

anything is preferable to "status quo forever" that happens in most harem anime. Wait...scratch that, I prefer the status quo to the true harem route. That's the worst possible outcome imo

I still need to continue it's manga so can't reply on it but if that's the case then it's pretty good tho but one girl ending isn't wrong too.

Fate has done the same thing so actually I would love multiple endings in harem anime

That's tricky, figuring out how to turn a multibranch story (usually a VN though as the OP indicates, there are also manga that do this). Clannad pretty much went with one girl though they made a single OVA episode exploring one of the other girl endings. Fruit of Grisaia worked it as a sort of harem without committing too hard to one girl. At least two I know of animated multiple endings - Amagami SS and Yosuga no Sora have multiple timelines/alternate branches.

i mean,one of the biggest reason i love tomoyo frm clannad is because of the tomoyo hen ova(its an alternate route where tomoya dates tomoya)
i loved all the visualnovel/eroges i played with multiple routes so im all in for other authors doing allternate endings

I haven't watched it but are you talking about something like it was in Amagami SS and Yosuga no Sora?
Imo, let this thing remain only games' prerogative. Anime is not supposed to be like that. It looks like creators just were too lazy to come up with the story, so they just threw each possible variant in your face and made you do their job.

No, those 2 are different routes from the start of each Arc. I'm talking about having a season or two for the main story and then having a branching to multiple different route out near the end

Damn. Sounds really dumb. If they wanted to cater to fans they might just make a few alternative specials like it was in Clannad.

It's a big brain aspect but some anime just can't pull it off no matter how hard they try. I would like to see some ambitious successes that implement them though
