Well my only real exposure to harem MCs are these two, lol. I liked QQ a lot, it’s a little slow at first but it’s very charming. Fuu-kun in QQ is a good guy, he’s not a saint like Rentaro but the show also isn’t batshit insane like 100 Girlfriends, so he’s more of a real person. You always like him though, at least I did, and you believe he cares about all of them. At the very least it’s a fun light watch.

Yeah I know, it’s just so hard to watch. It’s painful.

Look, I don’t like it either, lol. It’s surprisingly charming. Not my fault it’s good.

“I Have A Crush At Work” was great fun, I was sad to see it end. That’s an excellent suggestion that fits the question really well.

After falling in love with 100 Girlfriends, I watched the first season of KonoSuba on a recommendation and didn’t like it much. I didn’t hate it but if it wasn’t only 10 eps I probably would have dropped it. For whatever reason most of the comedy in KonoSuba doesn’t land for me like 100 Girlfriends does. Kazuma isn’t very likable, he just seems selfish and gross. The girls are fun, if mostly a little one note. I get the Megumin thing though, she’s great and I see why she’s so loved.

I dunno, maybe I’ll get back to it at some point.

I just started watching anime in the last 6 months or so, before that I had mostly only seen Ghibli stuff and like DBZ on Toonami when I was 12. Since I started, though, I’ve been making pretty good progress through shows. Here’s my top 10 of what I’ve watched since I started this project:

1. Bocchi The Rock!
2. Dungeon Meshi
3. Sousou no Frieren
4. MakeIne: Too Many Losing Heroines!
5. Dandadan
6. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really REALLY Love You
7. K-On!
8. The Quintessential Quintuplets
9. Chainsaw Man
10. Gushing over Magical Girls 👀

I’m in the middle of Blue Box and Roshidere right now and they’re both pretty good, though I don’t think either will supplant anything in this list. I did not expect to like rom-com and slice-of-life stuff as much as I clearly do.

Yay Bocchi! Best show ever. More soon!

I am like halfway through Season 1 now trying to catch up and this show is so gut-wrenching. Like, it’s good; well written and looks great, but it’s emotionally manipulative and a bit melodramatic. These children are so bad at talking to each other and they mostly make bad decisions because of it, at least so far. It’s hard to watch sometimes.

I watched the first 4 episodes of so, couldn’t get into it. Comedy didn’t land for me and the fights are fine, but not enough to hold me.
