Is Amagami SS a harem?

>>153364692
Not particularly. Each girl has their own route where they don't particularly even interact with the other girls or are even in a relationship with the protagonist. It's more of an omnibus format of sorts, each story being its own contained thing instead of them all existing in one singular world. Which in the end makes every girl their own winner.

>>153364692
Of course not.

no, neither are most other multiple love interest anime which get called harem on here a harem.

most of the time pseudo harems focus on one girl per episode and then focus on a different girl the next episode and yet another girl the subsequent episode. Then back to the first girl at a later time and start the cycle again.
Amagami SS is the same just that it gives you all the girl A episodes at first and only starts with girl B when that is finished.

It's as much of a harem as e.g. Love Hina, Haganai, Nisekoi, etc.
I dare say Amagami SS is closer to a harem than those, because Junichi actually gets together with all the girls. Just one at a time in different what-if scenarios, but still.

No. Think of it as alternative timeline for each gril

No. With the exceptions of Rihoko and Stalker, none of the girls like him outside of their routes

>>153364692
No.

A harem is characterised by interaction between the love interests. In Amagami there is almost no interaction between the girls. At no point the MC in Amagami has an actual "harem".

Sae > Tsukasa > Senpai > Stalker > Kaoru > Ai > Fatty

No.

>>153368472
No its characterised as being in a polygamous relationship with several women at the same time and them being fine with it. So basically pic related which is a real harem.

Rihochi is the fluffiest.

>>153368675
I never said otherwise, but they weren't ranked.
Incest is best

>>153368680
Under that premise the vast majority of harem anime aren't "real" harem anime, so clearly that definition is too rigorous. By the normative power of the factual, the "polygamy" part is no requirement.

>>153364692
Not really, but it's just as shitty as most harems.

that makes 3, which is a harem already.

Proposing during a graduation speech is really endearing until I imagine what it'd be like IRL

>>153399861
That shit was awful. You don't trick someone into proposing. It felt so dirty and ruined the mood.
Like, that's not the kind of series that this should be. There's themes of honesty in this series and that just got thrown out the window for this route.

Proposing should come naturally for every couple and they had just started dating in the route.

>>153400184
The timing was fucked, yeah, but I didn't really mind
What pissed me off was when she told him she was going to England. First thing he could have said was just "Oh, how long," like any fucking rational human being would when someone they know is going on a trip. I get that he's supposed to be dense and all that but fucking come on

I really liked Ai's ED theme. Her game theme is also my favorite of the bunch.

Ayatsuji's ED is my second place. It's a sad theme, but fitting for her route. Thankfully the Side B on that ED is more upbeat and humorous.
I much prefer that one to her ED.

It's marketed as a harem in its own official material.
In most cases it's implied there are always girls in the background wanting to fuck the MC.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you it's not a harem. It's just retards trying to delude themselves into think it's better because it's not a harem, or something.
