anime

here's the top of my list, everything I'd generally recommend 5* Clevatess Takopii no Genzai 4* City the Animation Dainanaoji S2 Dandadan Dr. Stone S4 Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku Mizuzokusei no Mahoutsukai New Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt S2 Ruri no Houseki Silent Witch - Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru S2

also, I know I used to translate my lists into something a little more meaningful, because even my eyes glaze over trying to remember which show half of these nip names refer to

so here's everything

couple sequel series or 2nd/3rd cours I'm not watching right now

and a fair number of the 3*'s will probably fall off my list, couple might move up like Turkey!

I like how I can tell which shows you are the most passionate about (being bad) based on if the show was there name or you having a rant

that actor show, I genuinely can't

it's so fucking bad

the 3 most important aspects to being an actor are apparently academic prowess, shogi, and boxing

Oh wait

it's a less fun version of that swordfighting girls acadamy show from a decade ago

is that the show where the dude has the three girls he has to live with

yes

lmfao

I did not clock that as being that based on your discription

it's JP name is Mikadono Sanshimai wa Angai, Choroi

I don't think its supposed to be about acting in particular

yeah yeah, it's a school harem show probably

but man

I think its apart of the genre of "guy has to live with and take care of girls"

the setup, the whole acting background

is just fucking retarded

as an offshoot of the shota is the dormmother for 5 college girls genre

which is distinct from this

it's not a sharehouse show imo

it's more of a hijinx in a co-ed dorm

I agree, but I think it shares some DNA

yeah, idk where to draw the line

I for some reason have watched I think 3 of those shota + 5 college girl dormhouse shows

same!

Polu and I keep discussing how funny the specific guy + 5 girls harem subgenre is

because that is a particular number that so many shows go with when its more than 3

harem shows are weird

too many have the 1st girl win, or are just love-triangle bait

Shows that are specifically about being a harem show usually need to be comedies or else it just feels weird

yes

sentimental harem shows suck

shows that have a harem but are not about that can get away with it

but if you are specifically about a guy and multiple girls, you better be a comedy

Sharehouse shows are usually wish fulfillment for japanese men who wish as a 12 year old boy they had 5 20 somethings who wanted to fuck their brains out

which makes them funny

the trope part I love

is how often the MC is "just trying to study"

to setup 90% of scenes

the limits of JP creativity for what teen boys do while at home

Oh speaking of that, my favourite sharehouse version of that somehow getting a season 2, but now it is a 4 girl harem instead of a 3 girl harem

cuckoos getting a S2 surprises me still

that's one of the sequels I'm not watching rn

I may go back and watch it later, I thought cour 1 was fine on its own

That show is the show I credit with me realizing we hit the tipping point where japanese people are actively drawing women with lips now

I started noticing it so much more after that show aired

what started the feet trend?

because I can't stop noticing it now

Idk but I started noticing that when blue archive had the teacher go to town on the girls foot

so many show have detailed foot shots all of a sudden

a lot of it is a slow show in an op/ed

see danmachi horny S5 ed and the new call of the night op

Danmachi pilled

Dress-up-Doll S2 was a trip

I think I forgot how little S1 covered

It was very bouncy

I am reading a political drama that is technically a harem and its really good. Don't remember the name right now.

It's a really nice complement to the manga.... I wish S2 came oiut 2-3 years ago

At least it came out

new series, or decently far along

its long

We are getting another isekai quartet before tanya S2

isekai guy gets brought in to be the king of a desert nation

idk if you considered watching Hotel Inhumans (since you are now a hotel show aficionado)

but it's not what I was hoping for so far

I vaguely remember the trailer

did not stand out to me

If it's a guest of the week show, it might end up being good

but I feel like it's going to devolve into one long plot thread

Okay, if one of the guests is just the robot from apocolypse hotel

then I will watch it

the main receptionist is already

sorry Pika

so far cameo's have to compete with Jashin being in the english game center show you did not like
