I'm seriously sick of thick head MC's. I was just watching 'Rosario to Vampire' to kill some time and the MC is so dense that I felt like breaking my laptop.
Please suggest a good harem/romance anime with a MC who at least understands his surroundings.

Although it is not your typical Romance and certainly not your typical Harem Show, you could take a look at the Monogatari Series (starting at Bakemonogatari).

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai I guess.. He's more arrogant than intelligent I think.

Wait, it says Nekomonogatari: Kuro' is the prequel. I'm really confused as to what order I need to watch it in. Could you state the proper order, below?

+ I found Grisaia no Rakuen and Kajitsu on your List. Kajitsu may be exactly what you're looking for. Besides that I'd HIGHLY recommend reading the Novel instead of watching the show. Squishing 60+ hours of readin into 12 episodes did not work out quite as good.

I actually dropped kajitsu after watching one episode. I might give it another chance now. I don't really like reading... so nope, I won't read the light novel. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I wouldn't advise you to watch a 4-episode Special instead of the actual first season :D I'd advise you to start with Bake, since it basically introduces all the important characters in small 1-3 episode Arc's. If you liked it you can watch some of the OVA's or the other 2 seasons that came out until now. (With Owarimonogatari airing right now)

So:
Bakemonogatari -> Nisemonogatari -> Second Season -> (OVA's and Specials) -> Owarimonogatari


This if of course not the strictly chronological order. But the show doesn't really require you to watch it that way.

Alrighty, I will start it right now. Thanks again!

Well, I wasn't strictly looking for a harem. Romance would have worked too. At any rate, after posting it I realized that as well.
...Couldn't really expect the MC's of harem to be any intelligent.

Well, I don't really like manga. I prefer anime over it;
'The world God only knows' I have been hearing about it a lot. I'm probably going to try it. But, right now I will probably try completing Bake and kuroko no basket. Thanks for the rec!

I just checked it, it claims to be of different genre than what I was looking for. You sure there are harem or romance elements in it?

Agender i guess? idk she said she doesnt care about gender. And the other characters thought she was a boy because of her appearance. That club she has to join is for boys so people just see her as a boy i guess. idk its hard to explain

Kajitsu is not a light novel. It's a visual novel.
And I really hope you do give Kajitsu, Meikyuu and Rakuen a chance. Because the plot does get better with each episode. The male MC, at any rate, is not the typical clueless MC. He's, in fact, pretty badass.

I would recommend Trinity Seven the mc is smart but at the same time can be idiotic and is always perverted but has his heart in the right place!
