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

its why I think sharehouse shows are usually better, light romance and 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.
