If we're just talking the quality of the harem itself: Araragi's got it made.

Still dont like the eye designs at all...it makes them look like bugs. BUT that was a cute episode.
Hana Fountainstand...I always crack up at that name. I like how she took up free running because she wanted to be a Ninja. Oh God that was 12 year old me :X

Subete no aware
They all wanted her. They just weren't together all that much.
Did the books end as well? I just wonder if they say it's all a dream or something.
Arguably, Seitokai Yakuindomo. Seitokai no Ichizon... Ebiten. Umm... there must be more that I can't think of.Does it have no items, Fox only, and Final Destination?
All kidding aside, this might be what I was looking for when it comes to the genre looking at the show's plot description. I'll take a look at the first episode and see what it's like.
But what other ones are out there?
Believe in Team Germany.
(Until Putin appears)
maybe try just single relationship shows without the love triangles/harem, like the classic romance, Btooom!
Seitokai isn't a harem so much as it is the MC just happens to be surrounded by girls, really. Wait, is it a requirement of the harem that the MC has to be on the lookout for a relationship? I guess there's a bit of 'huh maybe I'm in love with MC' with multiple characters in Seitokai, but since he doesn't appear to give a damn about relationships at all really and the gags take priority, it all comes out moot.
...damnit, I guess if you can talk about 'winning' it's a harem
Shino will win anyway

I think it's Negima considering it's a classroom full from what I hear. Otherwise for convenience sake, I'd say either Infinite Stratos or Maburaho.
Maburaho only has Yuuna, Rin and the rich girl and the doomed childhood friend with brown hair.

I don't but I'm guessing from the responses I should stay away from Stratos.

All lame compared to mofuwa Caster.
I only counted it because of the way it ended
I love the Fate girls but yes this form of Caster should be in anime.
whats this fate stuff

anime based on a game where you have sex with girls to give them magic power
Demon King Daimou I think. It's been a while since I've seen it... There is also School Days.

Kill la Kill - 16
Back to Kill la Kill to try and finish it this week. A funny "recap" intro with a pretty hefty info-dump to follow. Overall a good change of pace that actually sheds some light on the questions I had earlier in the series.

Onii-sama looks to be building a harem for himself.
Yeah you should. However, if you just so happen to watch it. Side with team Germany for the win.
This is from Fate/Apocrypha I believe? The character designs are amazing. Assassin of Red is my favorite.

I saw a bit of the first one and bailed out.
I heard of the second and third ones, but I haven't looked much into them yet.
Halfway through GJ episode 1 right now. It's pretty cute and relaxing so far.
I watched one episode of that and bailed out.
According to most people here, I made the right decision.
Nah, it's from Fate/EXTRA and both her and it are terrible.
Tenchi?
and i only just arrived.

You take that back, she is the only good Caster and EXTRA was an OK game.

In all honesty, I've been wanting some actual real talk about this genre in this thread for a bit. I got recommended what's actually a cute little show out of it so far so I'm happy!

This is worse than SAOturday ever was!
Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene-
. Honestly I'm fine with this as it doesn't look like the sister was going to bring anything interesting to the table anyway. If I got upset any time a title was misleading, my hair would be falling out. Yoyo is the star of the show and she really carries the movie on her shoulders. She's a vibrant character but I never felt like she overwhelmed the movie. I thought Spiky Hair was obnoxious as fuck early on especially in the middle with the summer festival thing. That said, he turns around and I thought some of the later scenes with him were pretty touching. The thing that surprised me was how well they fleshed out some of the side-characters, who I thought were really minor, in interesting ways that tied into the climax. It felt like a decent roster of characters and while the Magic Kingdom side did seem to be ignored, I'm pretty ambivalent to that.
, in that you can see in the night shots how the stars from the Magical Kingdom are replacing
. The cartoony flair overlayed against
more serious/realistic tone, really worked out well. There's also some really good background art, especially in the library and the apartment. I'm a huge fan of the character design work and I especially liked Yoyo's and Ms.Hardass's designs.

Holy fuck at this animation. The camera is really dynamic in the action sequences, there's a lot of motion towards and away from the camera, and they're super well animated on a fluidity level. The animation is everything I would expect from a movie production by Ufotable. So many good smoke effects, in that they swirl, and the splash effects for the magic do wonders. Weirdly enough, the magic is a bit more cartoony than Little Witch Academia in the flair but also less so at the same time. That's because Yoyo to Nene feels like the older idea of magic but the production doesn't feel as 'stretchy' as LWA. I think I saw one bit of clipping with Spiky Kid's hair but the rest was really stellar. Super-hyped to see what they do with Fate/Stay Night. Yoyo's despair face was especially delicious, looking forward to many from Sakura.
I enjoyed this much more than a number of Ghibli's works. The reason I bring Ghibli up is that the movie heavily reminded me of Ghibli and times and not so much in other segments. Ghibli films are pretty localized in terms of the scope of their narratives and this was much more 'blockbuster' in that saving the world was involved. I'm a pretty big fan of Ufotable after their Type-Moon works so I was curious to see how they handled a very different type of work. I'm not familiar with the manga so I can't say how accurate the movie is to the manga, in terms of characters and tone, but I thought this worked as a fantastic stand-alone movie.
Yea the title is misleading as fuck as the story really focuses on Yoyo and her interactions with
our world
So the major thing that struck me about the movie was the art direction. It's really colorful in a 'pop' sort of way and the art direction really helped the magic come alive in the film. The film has a really vibrant color palette that utilizes CGI, bravo for whoever thought to use purple for the broomstreaks, in a great way to make the magic distinctive. The movie also does a great job visually of combining the
two worlds
our own
the normal world's

The end of the film definitely feels 'blockbuster' but I think the movie does a good job of still keeping that human element present and since it revolves around the side-characters, the movie never felt like it was trying to go for broke with special effects. Felt like a solid story, not exceptional but I'll take what I can get nowadays, with some really amazing visuals. The 'wish climax' was really powerful, despite the potential to be annoyingly cheesy, mainly because it seemed earned in that situation. Excellent watch.
Hey now she has fluffy tail so how could she be terrible.
I'm going to believe you.
Edit: great post Jarmel
I can't lie to the good people, they may actually up and try it!
In that case just don't read her lines and you're fine.
It's only slightly less bad so far, not good.
