Both are garbage. But if I had to pick one at gunpoint I would pick h*rem. Simply because of DxD and Sora no Otoshimono. They're beautifully well-crafted, funny and ocasionally emotional, they have badass, well-written and competent females, and many other great stuff. It still doens't changes the fact that both genres suck more than anything in this world.

I don't like either but I'll pick reverse harem considering the only one I've seen (Ouran High School Host Club) is far superior to any harem I have encountered.

I guess I'll go with harem because only good reverse harem I watched was Ouran Koukou Host Club.

And just because I'm a girl it doesn't mean I can't enjoy harem anime.

I enjoy both a lot!! High School DxD is probably one of my favorite comedies (and it has some surprising levels of character depth??), but bishies are a total guilty pleasure and I can’t say no to a reverse harem, even if it’s kinda shitty

I care not; I also think "reverse harem" is a term that is about as gay as "reverse trap" or "reverse racism"; there is nothing "reversed" about it. The reverse of a harem is one character trying to hit on many and failing in all cases.

A lot of harems are also mixed-sex so what are you going to call those?

These distinctions are gay and meaningless. Be one such a genderfag then just say "all-female" and "all-male" harem.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

neither are good - both have bland mcs, but at least reverse harems don't have as much unnecessary fanservice.

Honestly, I like both reverse and regular harem animes. Though I'm more inclined to watch reverse harems because seeing the main guy in a harem anime accidnetally fondle or land on a girl's boobs and the attention to a girl's butt or panties kinda gets old and on my nerve after awhile. And I haven't really watched that many reverse harem animes where the same thing happens to the main female let alone the males getting fondled or oggled at by the female lead cause males can recieve unwanted attention from females too.

I'm a male, so I prefer harem.

High School DxD is my favorite harem tbh.

I.t.t.: genderfags and sexual-orientationfags that need to make sure that no one would possibly misunderstand their gay, made-up boxes.

If I had to choose between the two then I'll go with reverse harem since I've got some titles I like in that genre (Hanasakeru Seishounen, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Akatsuki no Yona, La Corda D'oro Primo Passo) while I can't really recall any harem titles that I liked as much.

In the end it still depends on the series, there are reverse harem titles which were so bad with the "bishie" guys looking so damn ugly I'd rather watch a harem with girls having huge boobs which again I really dislike.

Between guys that look like this :

And girls that look like this:

I'd go with the latter despite not liking either.

I hate it, when characters are objectified for the audience, no matter, if it's a harem with a male or a reverse harem.

Yona for example was fantastic, but I thought that one or two of the dragons could have been female. It would even be much better.

If it's preference question then Harem. Since I'm a guy I rather enjoy bunch of girls.

Reverse Harems can have really lovable female lead character. (but that comes probably becomes of Shoujo genre). Some of my "waifus" are from shoujo & reverse harems.

As surprising as it is, I voted for reverse harem, bcz the only haremms I have watched are absolute shit, hell I dropped em or didnt evn qadd them to my dropped list.

the mc is almost always brown haired [I hate that] has an ahoge strand, some retarded shit about some item, and wears glasses, and the girls are top tier turds. word god know, acel world? nisekoi,

NOW the only rev harem I've seen, has to opposite, bunch of kool likeable [not all] men, not boys, men. much bveter looking then the harem MC
the only lead girl is crap but still better than the haremshit turds and isnt a tsundere. [the guys can be are but not shitoge lvl] and throw in abuncha step incest! whts not to like.

Reverse harem BECAUSE harem is filled with fan-service and I’m not a big fan of fan-service.
Gottubon no hanayome is the only harem anime that is not shit.

Harem because I'm a straight male.


I have great trouble believing only 60% of the users here are straight males. Which makes me think there are a bunch of straight guys who voted for reverse harems for one of two reasons:

1. They hate harems so they spite voted.
2. Even though they watch neither, they genuinely think reverse harems are better because straight male sex drive = evil / sinful, while women are the enlightened, intellectual sex. Self-hating SJW type dudes, in other words.

With some overlap, of course.

And there probably are a small number of straight males who legit prefer reverse harems. But I honestly can't imagine a guy who prefers reverse harems and wouldn't spew a bunch of pretentious, snobby BS about how bad harems are. Kudos to you if you're someone who can just have a preference without shitting on stuff you don't like.

It honestly depends on the anime.

Best reverse harem anime in my personal opinion:
Ouran Highschool Host Club
Uta no Prince-sama
Kamigami no Asobi
Kamisama Kiss
Yona of the dawn
Kiss Him, Not Me

Best harem anime in my personal opinion:
Strawberry 100%
Nisekoi
The World God Only Knows.
Yamada-kun and the 7 Witches
Rosario vampire
chivalry of a failed knight

ime, reverse harem shows tend to be more plot oriented while harem shows tend to be more fanservice oriented. so it depends on what im trying to watch

Even ouran host club is dull.Dance With Devils is fun in a stupid way though.

Reverse harem will always suck though beacuse in order to appel to just girls,they have to pander without restiction.

Im really suprised that no one talked about DNangel.That anime desereve a hall of fame of being the one and only normal harem anime for girls.Story chatacters were pretty original. Shoujo manga tropes worked better even in harem.

There is still a merit to multipe girls liking the same guy.It is a sign of desirsbility to girls as well.However for one girls and multiple boys this makes her come of as a slut.Even to girls,harem are more sensible than reverse harems.

As for me there is no real reverse harem answer to Kaminomi.

I am not sure if I have seen any reverse harem other than a single episode of Ouran host club which didn't encourage me to see any more

frankly, the whole idea has absolutely 0 appeal to me, and I have no desire to try, when I can watch a regular harem and see some anime tiddies instead


if you count Yona as a reverse harem that would be an exception, but I don't think it's the main point of the show, and I would still much prefer it to have just Hak Son, he's the coolest

This poll is basically decided by the amount of people into males and the amount towards females. As for me, I'd pick Harem because I prefer females.
