Was a harem series your first exposure to anime/mamga? Which series was it? Do you look back and cringe at your past self or do you still like the show till this very day?

I'm honestly not sure about how I feel about Girls Bravo. It's been 11 years since my 9 year old brain permanently burned an image of Kirie's body into my mind, but now I can see it for the smoking dumpster fire of clichés that it is. However I still find some aspect of the show to be mesmerizing. I'm not a very nostalgic person, so either this show is the big exception or there are actually some quality aspects of this series that still give me some enjoyment yet I cannot put my finger on them.

The first anime I watched while it was airing was Infinite Stratos. I still don't mind HanaKana's ubiquity because she played best girl.
The first season is still a guilty pleasure of mine.
My first actual harem show was Demon King Daimao. It was also my first ecchi show, and I was pretty confused once the first few panty shots started appearing.
Its shit, but its also nostalgic to me now.

Naru best girl

Highschool of the Dead, I guess.
Kami nomi. Love Elsie so much since then.

I'm not really one for harems, but Kirie does things to me.
Love Hina, naturally.
Got into anime again when I was 19.
The possibilities were endless.
This also pioneered waifu wars and fanfics that can fill up a library (sadly only few survived)

Tenchi Muyo. And I wasn't even aware there was such a thing as a harem genre for anime. I just thought it was weird so many cute girls were after this bland as fuck dude. Until I learn a few more years later.

Can Ranma be considered harem? He had lots of girls trying to get him.

This is it. This is fucking it. I've been waiting YEARS for this thread. Finally, someone recognizes the absolute Kino that is Girls Bravo. When Fukuyama cryed out "Who wants a BIG BANANA!!!" I shed a single tear. But enough about me. What are your favorite episodes from this absolute masterpiece of Japanese animation.

Fellow Tenchifag here. Watching Tenchi Muyo just a few years after Ocarina of Time had a similar scenario (three goddesses and a lot of girls after the MC) want to write a crossover fanfic. Thankfully my thirteen-year-old self never went through with that or it would still be on the internet somewhere.

DearS or Vandread? Don't remember now.
I think I liked when I was younger, but I'm not sure right now.
There are some parts of Vandread that I still like and would like to see more.

You posted it. I read the manga a couple years ago, but it was garbage, really disappointed me. I got the series on DVD for cheap, one of these days I'play rewatch it.
Steel Angel Kurumi.
Not like anyone here remembers that old series.
