    ....Then why even have the guy?
  • DYREDYRE
    so that there can be someone who gets into ecchi-ish situations with the girls.
    And, well, the whole projecting-yourself-onto-him thing that was already mentioned.

    Might as well make an all-female show at that point.

    I wanna see a Harem show with a male lead....but his harem is half men, half women. I wonder if there's one like that.

    Dragon Age 2?

    Actually, scratch that.

    I wanna see a show where there's a male group and a female group--let's say, five in each--With each member of the groups going after a specific membe of the other group.
  • DYREDYRE
    Wouldn't that just be... a normal romance except with more than one pairing?

    I actually just like a male lead and a female love interest. Nice and simple.
  • DYREDYRE
    I... don't.

    Well, that's not true.  That setup does turn me off from watching a show, sometimes, but it doesn't actually affect my ability to enjoy the show if I choose to watch it anyway.

    DYRE: There's so much potential for stupid hilarity though. Which could be achieved through a massove entanglement of love triangles quadrahedrons pentagons.
  • DYREDYRE
    Oh, you just mean love polygon stuff?  There are bajillions of animes like that.

    I know, but...they never seem to interest me. I don't know why

    We need a harem show with a straight male lead.

    Who's harem is composed entirely out of gay/bi guys. And crossdressing girl for the hell of it.

    Chagen, have you seen Buffy? There's quite a bit of clustefuck romance in that regard.
  • ChagenChagen

    I want so see it one day. It sounds like an interesting show.

    It is. If you have it, it's all on netflix instant queue. If you don't have it, you can get the DVDs online crazy cheap.

    You can change. You can.
    Buffy is good stuff and I love it. Just...act as if season 6 didn't happen.

    I'm addicted to magic, Juan!
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    all you need is a hug and your addiction will be gone, Malk!

    More male anime romance protagonists should be like Naoya from Astarotte no Omocha.

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES. YES. YES. YES!

    ... Ahem...


    Haruhara Haruko.  Pretends to be one of those women who has a strong exterior and a soft interior... but it is just another cover for her true interior as a raving power-hungry lunatic...  Well ok, that is true of the anime Haruko. Original Manga haruko is actually a bit genuinely nicer (though no less insane).

    Harem shows with interesting male leads?

    Granted this really kind of straddles the definition of "harem" but... Ranma 1/2.
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    ^It doesn't straddle the line. It really doesn't.
  • MoeDantesMoeDantes

    You're right. It doesn't count as "harem" at all.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    Hyperbole. You notice a lot, and then we have characters like Revy who break the mold.
