I haven’t watched much harem anime and the few I have were quite shit but I’m actually really enjoying this one. Does anyone have any recommendations for good harem anime (ecchi or wholesome)? Also are there any good reverse harem anime that straight guys might like? I’ve never watched anime like that before and I thought it might be a refreshing change, although I thought that with BL and I couldn’t really get into Sasaki to Miyano last season. However, I really liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama mostly because how cool Usui was so I was wondering if there was any reverse harem anime with those types of characters.

Hello it's time for Theo1899 to recommend his hipster ass series that no one cares about again although this one is actually quite popular, just not everyone's first choice when recommending a harem anime:

This show is extremely similar to Nisekoi, I mean, it's kind of a exxagerated copy of Nisekoi.
if you want to watch it Nisekoi, don't bother tho, it's never finished.
read the manga, it's way better, the adaptation was a bit off honestly.
It really has a very nice romance story.
I could give you a small summary of it if you want.

yes.

That feeling being old enough to remember Tenchi muyo from when it aired.

But yeah Tenchi muyo is one of the OG harems. I think it gets overlooked because the watch order is weird and sometimes it leans into the sci-fi too much.

Still. Great show.

The real answer here is kanojo mo kanojo. Just don’t take it too seriously and enjoy how serious the male mc is about making it work.

The Quintessential Quintuplets remains my favourite.
Highschool DxD and Kanojo mo Kanojo are also pretty good shows. Especially DxD if you're looking for an actual plot.

Oresuki: Are you the only one who loves me?
Haganai: I don’t have many friends
Oregairu: My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected

Three of my favorite harems, not sure if they’re what you’ve qualified as shit but personally I love them.

If you’re looking for a reverse harem the only one I’ve watched is Kiss him, not me!
I’ve also heard My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom is pretty good

There is the anime that started many of the harem tropes: Love Hina.

And this one is not typically considered a harem, but it definitely has love interest competition for the 2 main characters: Ranma 1/2.

QQ and Bokuben are both anime that have a study-focused theme if you care about that

My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu

Highschool DxD and Rizai on campus are two very good dramas, you can discuss the plot with your friends on the latest version of yo whatsapp

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
Why not ship the entire cast, men and women, with the lead?

https://myanimelist.net/anime/38555/Otome_Game_no_Hametsu_Flag_shika_Nai_Akuyaku_Reijou_ni_Tensei_shiteshimatta

+1 Kiss Him, Not Me.

If Her Flag Breaks, a generic self-insert harem. Trash, but the burning pit that they call a plot is just barely interesting enough.
