If a character would be ok with a harem ending, they wouldn't get mixed up in the misunderstandings and angst that drives a harem romcom.

most harem protagonists grow and change, also. a character growing isn't some super high level writing technique, it's so basic a ten year old can put that into a story. like every harem comedy ever made has a scene where the protagonist goes 'my life was so empty... before i met all of you...'

I vaguely remember some dumb thing where the guy had the devil's power? or was the devil? I don't remember I just glanced at it because he was cute in some random panel and noped when I realized it was a harem but the ending was him not picking any of the girls and just marrying all of them.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Naw. The entire reason Yar's death is so hosed up is that it has literally 0 canonical reason. The actual reason is just that Crosby didn't think she was getting enough development and left the show rather abruptly. Yeah, I know why she left, my circle has way too many trek fans in it.  But I'm not referring to the reason, just the depiction, as I saw it. I have a hard time paying attention to the plot of Madoka every time I watch it (it's like, my fourth time trying to get past episode 2), so it didn't feel dramatic at all to me, more like an observation of fact. "Oh, she's dead now." Like Ryder saying her dad is dead in those ME:A clips.

Space Flower posted:you just described a majority of ecchi harems in the past ten years, including manga and LNs Well apparently I don't watch enough harem shows then. In pretty much every story I've watched/read, most characters go through development that makes them seem less likely to accept a harem ending. If a series tried to set up a harem ending rather than it coming out of nowhere, it feels like the romcom part would suffer because there's less to drive a light-hearted conflict. I've never actually read or know of any series that seriously tried a full blown harem ending so maybe I'll be surprised.

Drakengard 3 also has an incredible soundtrack, though it's very different from the Nier line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QIwhiStfBE The whole series has had notable soundtracks, I don't listen to it a lot but the one from the first game is weird and experimental enough that it's kind of my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOFd-blyVS0
