PLUCKY ULTRA POWERFUL ORPHANS MY GOD O____O
When a well adjusted child with two living friendly parents comes along and wipes the floor with the horde of mindlessly cheerful overpowered orphans that populate manga, especially shonen manga I will do a little dance.
...I am totally a fan of Air Gear, Naruto and One Piece, all of whom feature plucky ultra powerful orphans in spades. Siiiigh.
Harem anime. As a yaoi fan, I have little to no expectations of gay harem anime. If it doesn't feature one trembling limbed doe eyed bottom and a dozen cut and paste tops, each with their own gimmick, it's not yaoi! I've accepted that.
And the reverse hetero harem anime like Ouran Host club are genuinely enjoyable because the female lead is something more than a quivering wet rag.
But oh, normal het harem anime. Joe Everyman, and the never ending parade of personality free big breasted idiots who, for some reason want to bone him. I really dislike this entire genre, because none of the characters are ever likeable. The male character is always a bland, smart, but slightly misunderstood person with nothing to recommend him, and the women seem to have had their brains removed because their only focus is now to take this cardboard cut out dude to pussy paradise.
I think it offends me because it's played out like the male character COULD ACTUALLY HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE whereas the other harem animes are so ridiculous and over the top that no sense of reality enters them.
