Like out of all Anime genre's, the most one i hate is Harem's, like every time when i see that Harem tag, i always just say to myself "Ugh, this is gonna be bad", like Harem's just really suck to me, its like most of them are usually the same, their was only 2 harems that i liked, which was Nisekoi and Oreshura, but the other ones i whatched, were just Bad storytelling, its like all of them have the same thing, its always about some stupid main character.

Who's 9 times out of 10 a loser at first, then next thing you know, he gets caught up into this other world or Some new realm or whatever, and then its like all these girls just come out of nowhere, and automatically like him, like its so dumb, The girls don't even have a reason for liking him, most of the time, the main character turns out to be some type of Powerful person in this new realm or new world, or something like that, and of course theirs like Soooooooo much ecchi in it.

I don't even mind ecchi but i hate when its the same old, re-used elements, i mean i think we all know the one where the main character acindentally slips and touches the girls Tittes right?, i mean its just so unrealistic and cliche, especially the bath scene's, where the main character somehow gets in the girl's bath?, like omggggg its so cliche and annoying and even the story itself, gets clouded by the harem elements, the main character gets wanked like every episode about his power or whatever, and mostly every episode the Girls are fighting over the Mc, each every episode, like that's the last man on earth.

Theirs barely any character development, the realtionships never go anywhere, I know not all of them are like that, their are some that are good, but most of them are really Dumb and cliche.

Short story. It's a guy in a room with a bunch of women.

On topic: Most Harem animes are pure fanservice.

Harem is also a genre of anime, where a all the girls are in love with the may character. Most Harem anime are ecchi.

Harems are shit, but there are some exceptions such as Oreshura, Nisekoi, The World God Only Knows, Clannad, Shuffle, etc..

He's talking about all of them XD

Actually SAO would probably be an exception. Asuna didn't hate Kirito. She just nagged him like a mother would. But she alwas liked him. It was he who had to come around to liking her. And there was an actual development to their love story and ultimately played into why Kirito did what he did(don't want to spoil it for those who have just started watching it)

But I understand what the OP is saying and it is Cliche and way too overused. As Yurei put it, it's purely fanservice (an excuse to get the girls naked or into sexually inclinded situations)

Which, depending on the plot, can ruin the entire story IMO. If your story is about fanservice for the sake of fanservice than this would work great.

How so? What's your take on it? I saw some light harem but not enough to ruin the anime. please do explain. Perhaps I missed something.

Sao, actually had development with the girls and Kirito, but in most Harems, The girls just automatically like the Mc like in the first episode, and most of them don't even have a plot, its just each episode is about them going to a Hotspring or the beach

Why's that? Kirito actually got the girl but like a quarter of the way through. They actually had to build their relationship through fighting together. But you have a point. Some of the girls just automatically liked him and fell into the cliche the OP is talking about. But Kirito would alwas resolve those issues.

He would actually talk to them and let them know he was Asuna's Man. Unlike say Naruto who just completely ignores one girl who fawns all over him and even confessed her love for him or so many others.

Did I miss the point?

How, exactly, do you verify these opinions without having watched much harem anime?
