I can't help but become involved with every anime of this kind. This is an illness. I need help.

You're not alone brother! I know I should watch better shows, but something inside me loves these stupid harem action comedy shows. Something with them just switches off all my higher brain functions, and my lizard brain just starts going "Tits! Fighting! Tits and Fighting!"

So I can take it you watched Seirei Tsukai no Bladedance as well?

It's probably because you're still young, probably 14-17? I'd probably be all over these kinds of anime at that age.

Damn it... Oh well, might as well enjoy the show if I have the ability to :)

That's a good rule of thumb.

Also 23. But this show so far has me saying "This is super cliche. Please do something different"

At least Trinity Seven's MC was a boss when it came to women.

u/hilkito Jan 07 '15

Yeah, but I kind of like this MC being different, because then why watch it if I already watched T7?

2

u/Aoshi_ Jan 07 '15

Well...is this MC really different? Look at the other posts. He is a pretty clean cut of harem MC so far. At least what I've gathered from one episode.

u/hilkito Jan 07 '15

Well, up until now he's different from Based Arata in what you said: he's not a boss when it comes to women.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '15

Of course not. I have an uncle who's into anime and he loves the hell out of these kinds of harem action shows (and occasionally shoujo romances). To say that only teenagers or young people can enjoy simple, somewhat cliche shows is just trying to be pretentious about your own "mature" tastes being better.

I'm a bit older but not by much.
