How did this shit show get so popular? It was as cliche as any other harem. Did anything make it unique?

Because it wad fun at the beginning
It became a meme on twitch.tv for a while because of some popular normalfag ironic weeb streamer.
The manga was a guilty pleasure of mine.
It was so bad but I really liked it.

The only reedeming quality of this show was Chitoge and the threads, god I miss those threads. Also Team Chitoge all the way, Onoderpa a shit.

It was a manga from Weekly Shounen Jump rather than a random LN.

Because it wasn't actually bad until over 100 chapters deep. There wasn't really any status quo resets and every character was getting continual development, and then the last 100 chapters were milked to death mostly likely because Komi had no desire to run it that long but money talks.
Good character design.
Good artstyle can carry people through a shit plot very far. Eromanga sand Saekano last season are just two of the most recent examples that come to my head. Shit story, but hey, the girls looked nice, so that's enough to satisfy people, here and Japan.
You're delusional if you think anime is anything more than just glorified fap material.

Precisely because of that. It was more cliched than more harems. It didn't take any risks. It gave us the characters we expected and handled them as blandly as possible. Most of the popular cliches in the book are there.
Objectively speaking, Nisekoi is good. It has no glaring flaws for the genre. But that also makes it boring as fuck. It's soulless garbage.

>objectively good
Harems can't be good, because it's a shit genre to begin with. The best harem is still worse than the shittest shounen.
Because of Chitoge aka best girl. Not even /a/ can argue this

People were fooled by the stupid looking faces and the fact that the one-shot was actually good.
