The characters in that are teenaged but they don't attend highschool so they can't be HS students. I am actually not talking about an anime. I am talking about the manga I am doing now. I am soon going to publish it and create an animation for it so I need things to help out. In my manga they are highschool students but most of it doesn't take place in there highschool. |

Shukkets said: How about a dose of realism? Seriously people, polygamy, polyamory, and concubines are real things even in this day and age; we just never hear about it outside the lens of creepy inbred pedophilic religious sects. For more information, please consult your local anthropologist. They are, but the people who get them are big shots, rich dudes and hot males. It's hard to believe the ordinary and personality-less dudes of harem will get so many girls. Unless it's deliberate. Most of the time though, the show doesn't address the MC's bland personality. |

merryfistmas said: MC like Kamina or Space Dandy. He'd actually get laid and aparently people dislike that. I'd watch the shit out of a harem that felt like Wolf of Wallstreet. I just don't like the concept of harem in general, so it's probably impossible for the genre to make me happy. If you ever felt like checking any of the harem genre out, I'd recommend Oda Nobuna no Yabou, and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha In the case of the former, the MC gets sent back to the Sengoku era and replaces Hideyoshi, becoming Nobunaga's right hand man. The catch is that everyone except for him is female. It makes sense for him to have a harem because he is in a position of power and commands people. It doesn't really focus on harem cliches though - it's actually more focused on the romance between the two MCs. If memory serves correct, it also has only small doses of fanservice, too. In the case of the latter, the MC moves into a cheap house but it turns out lots of girls from different places are also trying to move into the same house for their own various reasons. It makes it so the girls aren't actually after the MC - they're there for the house, not him. It offered a nice little twist to the genre. It's more cliched than the other one I mentioned, and has a little more fanservice but it's still very tame compared to the majority of harems out there. It's just some light hearted fun. |

| Harem Anime Is good only when the MC Chose A Girl/Boy From His Harem.. :3 |

| Less tropes, more gropes! All these girls are falling over you and you don't do anything with any of them? Nigga... |

| I can't understand your question. There is nothing wrong with the genre itself. It is all about the execution. Harem is love, harem is life. |

HaXXspetten said: This is pretty much my only real problem with harems. I have watched and enjoyed many harem shows, but it's annoying when they "end" with nothing really changing or it just keeps going on forever because the writers don't want to end the harem status of every girl still being a possibility. There are a few with decent endings though.Actually having an ending would be a start... I wouldn't mind seeing more experiments like Amagami SS, where everybody wins. It would be interesting to see shows structured like VNs where you watch several episodes of the common route, then choose the episodes you want to watch next based on what ending you want to see, like how VNs are. |

If memory serves correct, it was actually a Dating Sim on the PS2. It giving 4 episodes to each heroine and then 'resetting' for the next one made a lot of sense in that case. |

| Good Harem Anime Has Only One Requirements A MC with a dick.. |

| Less tsundere characters, less oops I'm accidentally touching your boobs and I'll keep doing it for the next 8 seconds, and more MC's who man up, choose someone, or is less embarrassed about being with women. |

| Make them more like Bakemonogatari Nuff said |

hahaha that's exactly what I thought before watching , I was a bit dizzy at first watching but got use to the random panels but what I meant was harems should have more character build up I don't mind action in harem series but they should really focus more on building characters up through dialogue instead of ''accidents'' like boob grabbing and panty shots |

YayaChibi said: I have seen that not a lot of people actually enjoy Harems, and they have specific reasoning behind it, personally I watch a lot of them and I honestly don't see much problems except that the characters are all the same. How do you guys think the genre can be improved? (I am making a harem manga now so I need as much help as I can get) Harem is one my favorite genre of anime. So I already think its good. Although one of things I notice about a lot of harem is inconclusive endings regarding who the male lead picks to be with. Out of what seems like hundreds of harem anime I seen, only a handful have it where the male lead picks a girl or ends up in a polygamous marriage/relationship.Most harem anime do not have those types of endings.You are just left hanging wondering who he ends up with.Of course I theorize that the reason these anime have a inconclusive endings is because they are made with the intent of another season being made. |

KnightChaser05 said: - If it had an actual ending and the guy actually does choose someone - If the guy wasn't a complete idiot - If the girls were calmer and not so in your face with him or about him. Like don't they have a life to. The world doesn't revolve around just him. - If it was more laid back and casual and it was just a group friends hanging out together. Sure the girls can like him and all, but don't make such a big deal out of it. Try and keep things natural instead of them just wanting him 24/7. - If the story or plot was deeper or just more meaningful in some way and the characters were more in depth and if things had more development. - If things were able to be more interesting or enjoyable - If the guy does actually have feelings for someone - If the girls know only 1 can get him and are ok with that and can all still be friends afterwards yet and the others can still have a decent life yet. They don't constantly fight or crap like that. GJ-Bu? I'd say this type is actually more common than you'd think. Even Taimadou is this type of harem and Phantom World is this type of harem. |
| Well the Harem Genre ist just a part of the show sadly most Harem shows have poorly written Characters and a horrible Story if those were good the show would also be good and with that the Harem Romance story |
| to dissapear, that would make it better. |

| Put someone like Sakamaki Izayoi in place of the repititive oblivious MC. Use different deres for the main heroine and possibly other characters, most of the time they're always tsunderes. Plot or no plot, it doesn't feel right when they neglect the plot to grow the harem. While I have seen in DxD and To Love-Ru Darkness that plot, fanservice and harem can go well. If the MC does pick a girl, it's always the main heroine aka the first girl he meets in the story, it's getting too repititive. I loved it when the MC in Mashiroiro Symphony didn't choose the main girl. |

| What about a psychological harem. What if there was a harem that cared about the psychological implication of the situation, how it affects everyone, what it feels like to be surrounded by women and what it feels like to be one women among many who wants the one guy. That would be interesting. |

The major changes it does is make the protagonist more sex hungry and have a violent ending. It doesn't even attempt psychology because the attraction to Makoto is unconvincing. |

JustALEX said: So....let me get this straight... You want a hentai (sex scenes) with a good story (good luck), a competent MC but at the same time he can't do cliche things, and there has to be fight scenes...all while having good animation. OK. So what? Nothing wrong about it. That's more or less what I'd like too, minus the fight scenes. |

| a main character like Jotaro Kujo from jojo woud make the harem genre good |

| Maybe a more interesting main character? Usually the main character himself is pretty bland in comparison to the girls. Maybe try a new setting since most harems are about high schoolers. I also like the idea of having multiple guys for the other girls who don't get picked in the end. |

My main character is actually having a different personality. I am also taking the stereotype for harem girls and twisting them a bit~ I don't know if you like this idea, but maybe have the main character take advantage of the girls. Usually the main character is oblivious to what is happening in harems, but maybe having a main character that is aware and takes advantage of all the girls liking him could provide an interesting story. I would love to hear more about the harem manga you are writing in a DM if that's okay? |
