Real talk, nobody watches harems (for long anyways) for plot or characters, it's for the waifus, the lewd, the cute interactions what have you. And one of the very last reasons anyone would get into or particularly appreciate it is the "MC", they're not all exactly the same, sure, but on average, there are very very similar, and at the end of the day probably one of the first things people forget about these shows if you watch a lot of them.

That being said; who are some harem protags YOU personally thought stood out?

Not saying who was MC in your favorite shows, I'm saying who was your favorite MCs regardless of what you thought of the show overall; my own "top MCs" and "top shows" do not all go hand in hand although there is some overlap.

I'd say the most memorable three for me are;

Haguure no Yuusha guy; his rapey antics and general smugness was cheesy sure, but like a 80s/90s action way which although being extremely cliche in general terms is quite refreshing and unique for an MC in terms of modern harems.

Infinite Stratos guy was simple hilarious. He fucking knows, he's like that guy from hanagi but like a sociopathic savant pulling it off flawlessly. A great cast of waifus and generally entertaining interactions during the 'downtime' episodes combined with ichika was very fun to watch

Tomoki from Sora no Otoshimono; great humor in the character interaction, one of the best executions of a 'forwardly lewd' but also genuinely 'nice guy' MC I've seen. also very Gurren Lagann vibe in the 'plot aspects' (kinda getting into the manga) where he's like some regular ass kid yelling at reality warping beings and jumping into their fights and then like eventually killing "god" with his bare hands for a plot reset after everyone died

>I didn't make the picture, I'm not saying these are the endall best harem or anything, it's just a decent picture of a bunch of harems.

None. They're all shit. Typing up walls of text to paint them as colorful won't make them good.
>>
>>150669753
By they do you mean the MCs? or Harems in general?

In the case of the latter, as you seem to be implying you have watched several while hating every single one along the way; why do/did you continue watching then?

And in the case of the former; surely some were more shit than others, and some less so.

Trinity Seven MC is pretty based. Still not in a "you can recall his name" tier though.
>>
>>150670255
I wasn't personally crazy about STB, but I know its quite popular on this board, there are fairly regular threads on it. It's one of those things that I don't really remember a lot of details about except the MC and main girl, and it was fairly plot involved with less sol/comedy breather episodes and what not, but did have a pretty cute romance plot which actually does reach a fairly satisfying conclusion at the end (that might have been the final OVA, like I said, it's been a while since I watched it), It isn't one of MY personal favorites, but I'd certainly say it is worth watching on account of being quite competently done throughout (while I don't have any particular things I remember loving about it, I don't recall hating anything either) and fairly long and having as mentioned before a satisfactory conclusion, and yes that girl is quite cute in it, one of the things I remember was how she said sempai.

I think you may be reading too deeply into a fucking battle harem but I suppose that's your prerogative. Also it's been a while since I've seen someone associate harems, let alone battle harems, with the word 'hilarious.' They more feel like I'm giving myself a lobotomy.

>>150669319
I just don't watch harems, ever. I like girls, but not as the only reason to watch a show. I'd rather read manga or browse /c/ at that point. Anyway the girls are not much less bland and stereotypical than the MC, it's fucking pointless. I just don't bother at all. Only harem I ever enjoyed was DxD, and it was not as typical of harems, although it was still pretty bad.

Is this due to the thought that a Japanese audience wouldn't be able to identify with a MC with non dark hair since they would seem very non-Japanese? But they are perfectly fine with the woman not being Japanese?

I feel like part of his personality got shafted in the anime. No, I don't read the LN, it's just a gut feeling. Like, I totally agree with you, he's so goddamn bland.

>Date A Live's protagonist
What kind of personality does he have? Refresh my memory again.

The MC is all the same.
They have nothing special, just ordinary people that have hidden super power.
Everything what they do in the plot is decided by their harem. They can't even decide thier own role.
But sometimes there's an exception like Seikon no Qwaser, or Mahouka.
But it still the same, basically it just shounen + panties, nothing more nothing less.

I agree. I always consider to watch a harem if I'm interested in the MC's VA. Damn if I didn't enjoy Index not only because of the absurdity but also because of Touma's voice which was relaxing to hear.

Hosoya's performance as Kusanagi Takeru was one of the things that made me a fan of Antimagic Academy. That and it looked better than its contemporaries Asterisk and Rakudai simply because of the fact that there was something on the line besides school pride in a tournament setting.
>>
Harem anime idea: Combine 1 parts World God Only Knows, 1 parts Death Note, 2 parts Mirai Nikki, and 1 parts Overlord.

Result: Psychopathic MC uses his meta knowledge of being in a harem anime equivalent to manipulate the girls into helping him take over the world. Also the MC is Tsundere as fuck.

Yeah, Shimazaki is actually pretty decent VA, I like him in Saiki Kusuo, Active Raid and Tari Tari. It's just that he's forced to do his generic, boring voice for DAL's MC (and I think he's in Twintails too?).

The other harem MC voice I actually like is Shimono Hiro. No special reason I just find his voice moe as fuck.

Do we count the Rakudai guy? He kind of had a love triangle with his sister but it's more a straight up romance.

The Asterisk guy may be the blandest fuck I've ever seen.

I actually liked the Anti-Magic guy. Show was a total guilty pleasure but I enjoyed how his sword skills were pointed out as totally useless without the magic bullshit.

Damn right. Alpha enough without going into gary stu territory. The MC's from StB, DxD, and Tomoki are also close.

Onii-sama: I'll never forget him. Mostly because of how shitty a MC he was. I felt like I was watching the animation of some shitty japanese self-insert fanfiction.

The niggers from Rosario + Vampire and the faggot from Shimoneta are tied for the most betas I ever seen.

>>150669319
>Real talk, nobody watches harems (for long anyways) for plot or characters, it's for the waifus, the lewd, the cute interactions what have you.

Talk for yourself, I had never watched DxD just read the novels and they're great, the anime is dogshit that cuts content and adds fanservice trash.

The comedy is what makes me read them, then the amazing fights and then some more comedy along with myths.

I don't particularly care about the waifus because they're irrelevant really, Issei is the one that takes the focus, or Kiba does(in the anime he's a real secondary character but he always has POV chapters in the novel when Issei's not around and his character is well done).

For example Rias is never really useful other than issei sucking her tits or stuff like that, it's the guys that do the cool shit. I mean Issei vs Sairaorg beats any lewd scene in the series, Vali fights are amazing and I could go on but the point is that the girls never do anything that you can truly call important.

I like Sora no Otoshimono for the same thing, comedy. Also the fact that it was super happy and then really fucking sad
>>
>>150670928

> Araragi never goes full edge vamp

such a fucking shame, Kizu was the closest we got, but he's usually freaking out too much in every fight to actually be able to look cool.

He had it with Guillotinecutter, but that barely even qualifies as a fight.

This thread is about what you think about harem "MC" and I think that theyre complete shit and ruin what might be good story and then I just post example of story that get vastly improve by removing male MC

Or maybe it's because you just hate males. Ever thought of that?
>>
>>150679915
>That alone makes it miles better than DxD, anon.

Except it doesn't, because after the first time it happens it loses all the charm it could have and it shows, it keeps happening all the time without the author caring or making it a special situation so it becomes normal and boring.

To top that Testament has shit characters, shit story, shit fights, shit powers and shit world so all that's left is the fucking but like I said it gets boring.

If you want to see girls fucking then just read hentai and that's it, what's the point of smut garbage with trashy plot?

>>150679888

Because people want it. They're getting teased for it and they stick with it. The target demographic aren't the smartest bunch.

Don't bully the poor /u/fags. They didn't ask to be raised by bitter single feminist mothers with no male role models and ultimately brainwahsed into idolizing women and hating their own gender so much they actually want them wiped out.

Are the girls useful in combat? I have lost count to how many times a hero is given a party that only exists to make his dick look bigger.

The usefulness of the girls can be summed up in a meme.

I fucking rooted for Motoko to win. I was severely disappointed when she resigned.

Also Sato x Haruka ftw.

Rakudai's MC, Ikki, was based as fuck. He wasn't a beta faggot like most of them and had enough personality to keep you interested.
Same could be say for the DxD MC

None of them guys stand a chance against the guy who on all levels, including physical, is a sword.

Does tracing cost mana? The bullshit levels of some LN protags beating Shirou isn't all that farfetched.

Both series copied pic related, though.

Should have copied the MC too.

>>150682570
An Alpha MC was a nice change

>>150682421
Yes, plus more advanced projections may fuck him up internally.

Don't know if they count but my favorite harem protags were Negi and Keima.
>>
>>150682642
Thanks.

>>150682570
Kaza no Stigma wasn't a harem, thankfully.
>>
I have never thought of Love Hina as a harem. It has so much wacky stuff besode romance subplot. Granted, back when I wanched it I didn't know that harem was a Japanese word.
>>
>>150682973
How?

>>150682973
But Kazuma had like 2 or 3 maybe 4 bitches wanting his dick.

>>150676142
They're all just one girl.

The world building happens later on in the series and the story gets much better after they handle all the Mio shit. Beyond the lewds the series has arguably the best villain of any of these harem series with Shiba, and the Basara x Lar's bromance keeps shit interesting.

Rizevim in DxD was pretty good as a villain. Awakens a legendary monster that is stronger than Great Red/Prime Ophis (strongest beings in current DxD) that destroys much of Heaven, Valhalla and lays siege to Earth. His actions on releasing the monster leads to 'killing' off several characters from the rest of the series and he is responsible for a invasion war that happens 30 years later which fucks up the timelines, creating the BorN timeline. He also abused his son and grandson Vali when he was a child.
