Choice endings seem to have an extra chromosome attached as a rule of thumb, so they never work. Or at least I haven't seen one that hasn't been an absolute train-wreck; the only people who end up not-pissed are the ones who liked the chosen girl the best to begin with, and even then they can end up irritated if it's particularly bad.

The people who say they want more of them are the people who hardly watch the genre and are just going with what sounds best from an intellectual projection standpoint in their own, non-fan way of thinking what they could use to improve upon something they hold no interest in to begin with.

Harem endings are the lesser evil by a longshot. Trying to please everybody can and usually will end up pleasing nobody, but at least there's a notable difference between being displeased and outright vitriol - and it doesn't help that choice endings usually involve something that is outright insulting or hurtful to the character(s) who lose more often than not, which makes it even more irritating unless you hate that character to begin with.

So, in my perfect world, I wouldn't have to cope at all because all harem series would end with a harem ending. Or maybe even not all harem endings, just not-choice endings - which could mean just not really an ending all together, just something vague and half-assed to barely wrap it up, as if the end of Haganai Next would be the final conclusion to the whole series. Even that would be less irritating in the long run.

It's never happened to me because usually the anime starts with the ods in the favour of the best girl/boy.
But then I haven't watched that many harems soooo..

If that does happen however.
I'll probably complain in the comment section of what ever site i'm watching the anime on.

Is Kiba going to win in High School DxD? Probably not.
Can I still dream? Fuck yes.

Well..... I just casually say something "meh...." and move on, because the term "Best Girl" is subjective/depends on persons, and I never like shipping characters together. I just find the whole "shipping" thing dumb just by the concept itself.

I tell everyone that the wining girl is shit, then make a thread about it on MAL to watch the fires burn.

I don't care that much about shipping, most of the time I ship the obvious pairing anyway. And then there is Zero no Tsukaima where both hero and heroine were so retarded that I still wanted them together because everyone else was just too good for them.

This is an issue people have?
I'm not a huge 'best girl/worst girl' kinda guy. I watch harem for the sake of it being a harem, and enjoying the tropes of such a show.
ON the very rare chance that there IS a harem that I actually care about who wins or not (DxD), I usually have best choice in girls and they seem to be on the track to win (Rias).

The only time that it's up-in-the-air about it would be Monster Musume, in which case, if Miia fails, I'll add a 0.005% salt content to my week, and then move on with life.

Best girl not winning isn't so bad. What's worst of all is when the worst girl wins.

In which case i perform

How do I cope? By giving the anime a low rating then going onto random forums discussing how horrible the anime was the entire time regardless of how much I was actually enjoying it to that point of course /s

Personally I just accept it and move on but then again the anime community tends to have a lot of people being vocal about how salty they are and how others are objectively wrong for having a different opinion in best girl.

Bro the anime world always seems to find some way to f*ck me over. They always get my hopes up and then stomp on my heart. LITERALLY, my favorite anime of all time, nagi no asukara, is also the worst ship I've ever experienced. Do you know hard that is? I can't watch my favorite anime of all time becuase it's too painful to see my ship get stomped on and know that it'll never be the whole time I'm watching.

The ending couples in Toradora, Aldnoah zero, 5 cm per sec, glasslip, Kiznaiver, Suzuka, and Akame ga kill were also all against my ships. Especially Toradora, goddamn I have no idea how any sane person

Complete it just for the heck of it and give it a very low score if they are even destroying the plot and doing idiotic things just to get the particular pairing together and side track some other character.

Thus, "best" girl, isn't it?

Damn the logic of the anime... Best Girl= never wins
Girls who wins= not the best girl...
