| Cuteness > Everything else Cuteness is Love, Cuteness is Life |
| Because theres ppl that want to self insert in there and want the MC to stay with one of the secondary girls, but let's be sincere, that won't happen... Nevah. |

| Because once you've seen one, you've seen them all. It's the same slapstick humor, flat characters, over-reliance on external circumstances and temporary idiot balls for conflict and drama, and absolutely squat diddly character or story progression and investment. |

Well, I'd say Monogatari has the best harem MC with Koyomi.....and that's a good reason why it's been so successful. But best Harem anime collection of girls and ecchi all around is definitely To Love Ru Darkness. I'll give an Honorary mention to Prison School too. Basically, finding a good Harem anime is rare....but when you do....they're REALLY good. |
| Because they're all pretty much the same thing, but with different settings. The first few you watch might be entertaining, but once you realize that you've been spending your time watching the same stuff happen over and over again, you come to dislike it //unless it's the Monogatari series |

| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| In most cases the MC is trash and the shittiest girl wins. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Because Clannad is too good to be true. |
| Because most are just cookie cutter one dimensional archetype characters You guys should watch the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVAs. Not the granddaddy of harem, but it sure did popularize it. The creator for said series actually advances the plot, gives them a reason for falling for the MC, a backstory and a personality (shocking, I know). |

Nezperdian said: Maybe. And I figure that makes it easier to feel like the grills fall in love with one dude for no reason. And like they all fall into lazy, pandering archetypes, as they often do. I don't hate shows for being harems, but I do hate harems that are insultingly derivative.Because people are jealous that they don't have a harem. |
| Boring, predictable, annoying, terrible writing. Boring, predictable, annoying, terrible characters. It's an obnoxious, tiring, beyond-cliche giant waste of time. I can't tell if the people who author harems are genuinely stupid/terrible/untalented/guilty of plagiarism, or if they really really really don't give a fuck and somehow their garbage half-baked """""""""""stories""""""""""" get published. Publishing standards in Japan are embarrassing. |
 |
| Maybe it's because it's not for them? We all have some genre that we don't like. |
 |
Dude...c'mon.... Don't make me spell it out. |
| because for some reason people can't just ignore the dude and look at the girls, aka, the important part in every anime :D |
   |
| Fuck that, why not just watch a good romance if you want best girl to win? I mean, there's only really one girl (sometimes a gay little love triangle, but it's cool) so you don't really need to fight over best bitch. |
| Maybe I'm just weak, but I easily get attached to a lot of the characters in the Harem genre :3 |
| Lol... Because people think love com anime where MC chooses a girl are harem anime. Harem Anime = Harem ending People really need to go find real harem Animes |
| I am one of those who hating harem. Well, Because the idea of harem is stupid. Not that I hate stupid idea. Stupid idea can be good only if the anime is not serious. Harem can be good only if it's a heavily comedy focus anime. Not necessarily be good if I don't find it funny though. Most harem anime though, trying to be serious at some parts. |

"People who don't see that anime has changed are either wearing "glasses" or watching only a certain type (and or era) of anime" "Having a low mean score doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't enjoy anime. Rating system is not a school grading system." "Elitist is people who think he is superior than others. Not necessarily ones who insulting/critisizing your favorite anime or people who enjoy a certain type of anime" "Fanboy is people who translating "your favorite anime is shit" into "you are shit". "Being a fanboy is an indication of elitism" |
This is by far my biggest problem with these complaints. MOST harem anime do NOT have a real "plot"... To demand a plot when the real objective of the anime is to provide fanservice and comedy is pretty ridiculous. Every time I hear someone bitch and whine that harem anime have a stupid or bad "plot"....I always wonder why the fuck they're even bothering to watch it. Seriously....it's like a person who dislikes giant robots to watch mecha and then complain about the giant robots. |
| B/c they will never have their own harem and it makes all salty inside. |

Harbur said: I've noticed that there is a very strong hate for it, and I don't really know why. For Example, I saw someone say, "Shokugeki No Souma is a Harem and is terrible." I just want to see for myself on this site, whether the hate is real or it's more or less than what I thought. Note: I watch harem myself and as long as the anime is good I don't get why it should be scolded for being a Harem anime. Bad apples have diluted the genre and made it more misses than hits. The genre as a whole has failed to evolve its concepts for a very long time. The conceits of harems themselves have gotten so run into the ground that authors assume their readers take the entire conceit for granted, resulting in incredibly flat characters that are there merely to fill out a character type (the tsundere, the polite big-breasted nee-san, the loli, the kuudere), and the same BS carrying over from show to show. ("oh noes, Protag-kun is about to walk into the bath, here's hoping there's not a naked haremette in there covered with impossible amounts of steam!") |

| It's just a really generic and shallow genre for the most part. There are some exceptions, but they're nothing to write home about either. I guess part of the problem is there's really only so much you can do with the premise of a bunch of girls wanting the same guy's Johnson. Increase the amount of girls? Have them come from Space? Make them monster girls? Make them demons? Completely copy another previous popular harem anime? That's the one! It's just a genre that seems content on wallowing in mediocrity instead of actually fixing the problems that plague it. Edit - Post above me said about the same thing lol. |

| I think it is because many of them just follow the same mould and Gary Stu protagonists. |
| :) |
| From my experience, most people don't like Harem because it's usually tagged with Ecchi, which a lot of people seem to hate. There's also how both of those genres don't really seem to do much different. As for me, I like me some good harem. Unfortunately, they're few and far in between. |

Turtles_Leader said: @AyameTomoko well, you're defending the genre by saying it's only a genre, and some are good. I think we all agree on that, but still, your argument is biased. You can't deny the vast majority of harems are like most people here described, with flat character and uninspired story. a shitload of ecchi, etc. You can't say "hey, it's just a genre, remove 3/4 of it and you'll see it the majority is not like that". That doesn't work. Well, every genre has its awesome shows and its uninspired shows. But you can only know that when you like the genre and have seen enough anime in the genre to make good comparisons. |
| i feel the need to kill myself everytime it ends with an harem ending if mc picks a girl then it's fine, if not it's just wasted time if only every harem anime was like shuffle... |
