Right, I don't mean that it's a terrible show that I'm watching for schadenfreude or whatever, I mean it's one that you could reasonably assume from the premise would be terrible but is actually good.

I liked it so much I made the thread! But KoreZon was absolute trash that made me hate myself for watching as many episodes as I difmd (on the plus side I got more confident on being firm with my partner on what type of showd I absolutely would not watch with him.)

And while Nyaruko had some funny bits the harem bologna was too much for me. Also, the character in Twintails most like the titular character from that show is the absolute worst part of Twintails.

Don't watch it. It's the story of a generic male character who becomes the servant of a 1,000 year old mute necromancer who steals the powers from a magical girl who proceeds to walk around in only a shirt, also he defeats a titty ninja who poo poo talks him all the time and a second ninja shows up who falls in love with him and its all contrived pandering bullshit.

And the protagonist is also a zombie, and the magical girl fights with a talking chainsaw, and the ninjas are also vampires. And the mood of the show also switches frequently between gags and "serious" and does so really poorly. And it frequently shows a Dyson air multiplier for whatever reason.

The magical girl doesn't get to fight with the chainsaw, though. The main character does because he stole her power because god forbid a girl gets to be the hero in a show without it being aimed at guys with gratuitous rear end or tit shots, or massive lesbian overtones,

Or both.

The gratuitous rear end shots were mostly of the main character, though.

Those only stuck out for you because of the outfit he was wearing and somehow must have made you blind to the gratuitous shots of all the female characters.

Oh, and the monsters the magical girl had to fight were all creepy rapist/molesters. Ugh, I really wish I could forget ever seeing any part of this sack of poo poo.

Twintails is what happens when the director of My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute and the writer of Listen To Me Girls, I Am Your Father! team up to adapt a light novel about being obsessed with a little girls' hairstyle.

I didn't watch it. I try not to watch anything with harem antics. I got mad when Sidonia was a bait and switch with people talking about the sci-fi elements and then it turned out to be harem bullshit the whole way.

Sidonia is harem bullshit but it's not, like, badly done harem bullshit, and it doesn't get in the way of the other draws like the loving insane art direction and the action in my opinion but what do I know

What was 'harem' about Hataraku? The anime ends with Chiho having a onesided crush on Maou and Emi barely accepting him as a friend. The LNs themselves are 100% Emi/Maou.

I think it might be worth it to consider what makes the distinction between a harem and something that simply features a protagonist that multiple female characters are romantically interested in.

Does Ranma have a harem? What about any of the male Macross leads? Archie Andrews? Batman?

I thought the hi-skool romance stuff in Sidonia was annoying and stupid (mostly because Tanikaze himself is kind of annoying and stupid) but it wasn't egregious to the point that I'd want to throw it in the bin
