That's like saying Sakurasou is a harem show.
Asuna is in love with Kirito
Silica is in love with Kirito
Lizbeth is in love with Kirito
Suguha is in love with Kirito
If thats not harem then I don't know what it is.
Only if those said multiple heroines are in love with the same person.
I thought it was more a case of
returning to Earth as it is in the current time rather than a time-travel back to how it was? The Sugita-Ai stated that Earth had long been lost to humanity no?
I gave A-Channel a shot but couldn't really get beyond the first episode. I didn't really click with the characters and was getting kinda irritated with the one girl who they kept pointing out heavy-handedly, "Hey look! She really likes this other girl! Like really". Maybe I was just being overly critical.
GA I quite liked even though it felt sometimes like it had to stop the show and go "lets talk about some artisitic stuff and then go back to slice of life". Wouldn't mind a second series or some more OVAs but it's unlikely.
Edit: Man I am so glad I stayed away from SAO.
It looks like we are getting more Infinite Stratos

Wonder if it's a reboot or a new story.

Sachi too. Almost every female character Kirito encounters falls in love with him.

Infinite Stratos: Brotherhood. You heard it here first.
Two of those girls don't even show up outside of their designated episode/cameo and the pairing is officially set since Asuna and Kirito are dating. The harem ended the moment they were officially a couple. If having multiple heroines that like the protag is what qualified as a harem then I don't know what to say. I'm sure there are other qualifying features that are beyond this that defines a harem genre.
Because that's not what the show's intention is supposed to be.
Talk about which is the worse haremshit between SAO and Date a Live is self defeating.
Sorry, that's not how harems in shows work.
There's plenty of shows where there's a preset couple with the other girls trying to get in the way.
Not really self defeating when you're comparing one show's identity to another where it doesn't even match. Self-defeating in that the argument really isn't there sure.
Except they've pretty much all given up in SAO. I don't get what your point is.
Last episode didn't seem to say so.
but wasn't he flirting with Lyfa a lot while Asuna was locked up?
I'll watch. Show wasn't bad, I enjoyed the fights
According to Japanese Wikipedia...
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ハーレムもの
Popular examples of Harem Anime: Index, Bakemonogatari, My Potato
Except what they say and what actually happens are different.
If this is what it actually is then I concede. Almost every show is a harem show. Fate/Zero might as well be a harem show then.
Unfortunately theres no other qualifying features that defines Harem in anime.
As long as multiple girls/boys have romantic interest in the protagonist = Harem / Reverse Harem. It doesn't matter if there is a OTP or not.
Well, F/Z was the prequel of FS/N and that was most clearly a harem anime. But, to be fair, most VN adaptations are harem.
Alright. Almost every show is a harem then.

There's a difference between a show that say has a relatively grounded love triangle and something like SAO where every woman that meets Kirito swoons over him.
Not even close. Most anime for kids barely features any romance.
I wasn't being serious. Just being sour. T_T
A triangle implies two girls and one guy. It's three points. Harems apparently need 4 people.
They agreed to a ceasefire for a week, that's not giving up.
Welcome to anime/manga/light novel.
Once again. What they say and what happens are different.

Sailor Moon 35
Edit: And so begins my least liked arc in S1 Sailor Moon.
Dat slapkuga. good episode. We finally get a lot of the backstory revealations and there doesn't seem to be much divergence to the manga yet in that regard.

Crime Edge and that Hentai Prince show might be harems too.
What happens is the end of series, so unless I'm mis-remembering something as far as I'm concerned they're merely lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gargantia went harem, to be honest.
In what aspect?
I talked about it a while ago.
I swear that article didn't mention anything about the previous series when I read it!
Impossible! Wouldn't you be using the username Dutchguy at other places, perchance?
The notion that talent calls talent or genius love company and all is cool as I see it, and Mr. Umakoshi contributing to a TRIGGER's 'dōjin' for a charity cause... priceless, just for the thought of some extraordinary animators (or even consecrated directors) involved equally on it:

Girls of different nationalities falling in love with a glorious clueless nippon man.
Still can't beat Asobi ni Ikuyo's protagonist, now that is the epitome of stupidness.
Hmm? Are you referring to the non-canon games? The light novels are still at it, although people keep speculating a near end...
Can't wait for this series to be botched into a "¡Comando G vuelve!" and marketed only towards a little girls audience here in Spain.
I'll take the opportunity to say that the recently published essay book by Joaquín Sanjuán Blanco, about how they precisely botched Gatchaman series' emission on this country and it still remained a cross-generational hit after all, is good (http://blog.rtve.es/comic/2013/03/comando-g-el-libro.html)!
I thought that was Milamber.If in doubt, if Keiichi posts a picture, it's from 4chan
I like you Milamber, don't ever change that! :-D
Yep, Hiromi Wakabayashi via Grant Alexander:

There is always a "winner" in harem shows. Always.
School Rumble says hello.
Certain Tenchi shows say hi.
School Days?
