| Like Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo! for a solid example. I mean I know for the sake of the anime not being a hentai it should be like that to some degree, but you know what I mean. Is anyone actually like this in real life? Don't get me wrong though, I love the Tenchi series' and other harem anime. xD |
| I like main characters in harem to act like functional human beings. That's all I ask for. |
| @Kuraokani That concept makes sense and I 100% believe it's true. Although it seems kind of ironic to make a relatable character that has a completely unrelatable life. At a point you'd think they'd stop being pussys and be like "well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. also, all these girls that want the D are super hot. hmm." @AltoRoark no kidding xDD |
| I don't think there are much IRL guys that would just turn away or run as a cute girl sits on his lap. That being said, when i watch harem stuff i tend to ignore the MC and focus on girls' interactions. I don't like crybabies, (girls should fill that role if needed) and i don't like most mc's questionable decisions (and all that talk you see on most harem topics) so it's easy for me to just ignore them untill they become better characters or just pop up with some random super power to save the day (just so i can ignore them again right after). |
| I don't care as long as im enjoying the show. |

| Depicts that their stereotype is a bit showoff |

| Yeah yeah, but it still hurts my soul a little. I can't be the only one lol. @Ainosense That reminds me of the last time a girl was that forward with me. Randomly was in my house, came out back and I was smokin a cig. She looks at me and says "you're really attractive" and sat on my lap. What did I do? Called her hot also, put my arm around her, and a few days later had meaningless sex. That was a pretty alright experience. |
Kuraokani said: 1lastfall said: I know right. You'd think they would want to see something different but I guess to a Japanese guy, when you see part of yourself in a character that's living a crazy life full of adventure, women fawning all over you, and a lot of cool friends, it becomes like a escape from their shitty life. @Kuraokani That concept makes sense and I 100% believe it's true. Although it seems kind of ironic to make a relatable character that has a completely unrelatable life. At a point you'd think they'd stop being pussys and be like "well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. also, all these girls that want the D are super hot. hmm." @AltoRoark no kidding xDD In Japanese culture, men work long hours at some relentless corporation after they graduate highschool. That's why you see a lot of highschool anime. I guess you see a lot of the same themes in the anime industry because Japanese guys just want to escape their shit life. Edit: I know I used the same line twice XD That's interesting to bring up. It makes me wonder how many manga/anime creators are closet-foreveralones. I wonder if the creators of fan service heavy ones are the cream of that crop. I never thought of it in this way cuz I always just blindly revere them. I still would even if they're losers. |
| I guess thats the reason I liked some weird harem like Grisaia,Kore wa zombie,High school DxD. Male MC with straight foward feelings tend to be better than shy crap,weak/pussy and unfunny mc. Not exactly harem but Touma on the other hand isnt a pussy either and i am not sure why did they promote the light novel with semi harem/ecchi fanservice in the anime. Which seems like another reasonn why people liked him in novel |

Called her hot also, put my arm around her, and a few days later had meaningless sex. That was a pretty alright experience. That's just real life. You may blush and even feel a little nervous since some girls really do have the power to make guys feel like "i don't know what to do", but you sure as hell won't just push her and run away. If you do... well, if one does that he must have his own reasons (which i doubt they are the same as in Anime) speaking of which i just can't understand. |
| i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not |
   |
| i hope not, that would make me hate humanity even more. |
Kuraokani said: Yeah sure. The average American guy is as dense as a haram MC and is a massive pussy. I think you might want to take a look at a American highschool again because that's dead wrong. Americans may be a lot of things but if there's one thing I can say without a doubt, it's that Americans are not pussies. Sure, there might be a few greasy weaboos that can't get a girl but they are few and far in between. Oh, i think i wasn't clear. I was just saying there's no guy in real life that would act as dense as an Anime MC, meaning real life guys are mostly not pussies. And i'd like to add: EcchiLordMamster said: i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not |
Blarey said: EcchiLordMamster said: i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not Agree with this. It's always refreshing still when we get a MC like in Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica or Sister Testament who actually makes moves on the girls. yea i definitely agree cause if i made a top 10 favorite anime dudes, they'd both be in there lol Kuraokani said: EcchiLordMamster said: I can see where not paying attention to the guy in a haram anime would make sense , but , in any genre? So you didn't pay attention to Lite in Death Note? Or Edward in FMA? How about Lelouch in Code Geass? i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not never seen Death Note, or FMA, so i can't say, but obviously in some shows i don't have a choice, like Titan i did like Lelouch and i obviously had to pay attention to him to follow the plot, but still, Kallen/CC and their fanservice scenes were more important :D but remember, this is coming from someone who mostly watches anime full of girls |

EcchiLordMamster said: i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not This is pretty blunt and accurate actually lol |
EcchiLordMamster said: i don't give 2 shits.. i look at the girls in anime, so the way the guy acts doesn't affect how much i like a show, harem or not Pretty much true. Accurate and very representative of people who watch harems. Except maybe a little on the non-harem part, which a good main character can actually be nice. |

| because if the mc a harem anime acted differently it would be a hentai. |
Kuraokani said: My lord, I just looked at your profile and I'm sorry for doubting you. I guess I should have realized it from the beginning with a name like ecchilord and all lol i just lol'd irl you're welcome to convert anytime someone like me thinks: "why be bothered by the guy when there's beautiful girls to look at?" |

Kurtvonschroeder said: because if the mc a harem anime acted differently it would be a hentai. Right. But if the main character is such a hot item they could atleast play coy a little bit or something lol |

Is anyone actually like this in real life? Don't get me wrong though, I love the Tenchi series' and other harem anime. xD it's been a while since I've seen techi muyo, but from what I remember, the girls in the harem are: 1. powerful 2. volatile 3. unpredictable I can't fault Tenchi or any harem mc in a similar position for not choosing a girl from the harem to win. |
Kuraokani said: EcchiLordMamster said: Lol so out of curiosity, do you pay attention to the story at all or is it all about the girls, all the time? i just lol'd irl you're welcome to convert anytime someone like me thinks: "why be bothered by the guy when there's beautiful girls to look at?" LMAO ofc i pay attention to the story.. its just not priority, cause: good story =/= entertaining cute and hot girls and fanservice = entertaining ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
|
| I mean I'd probably be a wimpy as fuck MC in that position so I can't really get too mad over it I can hardly choose a waifu ffs |
 |
| The target audience of these anime are males who have a hard time with women, who get anxious easily near them. It's a wish-fulfillment for these guys, taking their difficulties and putting them in a setting where they have to confront them in a safe setting. Girls are still scary, but at least they want you. |

AltoRoark said: I like main characters in harem to act like functional human beings. That's all I ask for. Don't be ridiculous. Not everyone is a player that can approach girls with ease under any condition, but majority of guys would take the chance if such great opportunities, as they are usually presented in harem anime, would arise. And those guys are "functional human beings". Non-functional human beings are the ones who would not take an advantage to get closer with a girl, when such clear opportunities are presented to them. No. The conditions presented in harem anime is far from what most guys irl ever experience. Read my reply above for details. |
| I still got no idea why anyone would consciously watch any anime of that kind. On the other hand it makes total sense that a person with this level of awareness would rant about things that are quite obvious from the cover alone hence the reason we are getting so many threads like these. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Is anyone actually like this in real life? yes there is people like harem mcs in real life the only harem mc i liked until now is Keima from Twgok |
 |
| >People focusing on the dude instead of all the thirsty bitches... You're doing it wrong. |
| Im not a fan of weaklings in general but it depends which character we are talking about for me to give out my thoughts fully |
 |
| I used to like those kind of MC like 5 years ago, but now wherever I see those kinds of MC, my rating for the anime drops by 2-3 points lol. |
| I like someone who doesn't blushes everytime girl touches him and is confident. |
| If I ever watch a harem anime again, the least I'll ask for is to have decent morals and not just screw around with girls. Knowing your place and hang with girls casually, not being some kind of 12 y/o wimp. |
| I just laugh, at any rate 'mI there for the scantily clad ladies, I couldn't care less about the dude. |

| Guy acts like pussy gets all the pussies, well there must be a hidden correlation somewhere that can't be seen by normal plebs I guess. |
| why not just why hentai instead if you want such a thing OP? eroge aslo tons out there... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| yeah there are a lot of harem protagonist who act that way and it's kinda annoying to watch, but there are some harem mc that i actually like, for example : Kazami Yuuji from Grisaia, Keima from TWGOK, Issei from Highschool DxD. |

| Does the following idea not sound kind of amusing though?: So think of a harem anime where the main character was just playing all the girls that want him, getting with all of them, pissing off all the other ones that are in love with him. There would be fierce emotions. The end could be break-through. For example, the MC actually picks and marries one. Or even better, the girls never talk to the MC again after realizing he's a douchebag and group kick his ass while the credits roll. hahaha |

| All Japanese guys are little pussys, duhh. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Meh I don't mind. People usually focus on the girls in harems anyways. |
