i like kashimashi where it ends with the one girl winning... and then ends on a cliffhanger where she's like "you know i don't really want to be in a relationship anymore" with the actual super true ending coming out in an ova seven months later

also that ova has a scene where after everyone has spent ten minutes talking about how they need to pull off a christmas miracle the love interest gets woken up by the glasses girl in the middle of the night wearing a santa costume with a short skirt and standing directly above her, and she says "Can't you see I'm santa?" while the love interest stares up and says "Yes. I can see." and then she gets stuffed in a bag and tossed on a sleigh that's pulled by the comedy best friend guy who's wearing a reindeer costume. that moment justifies watching all of kashimashi

what is it?

Multiple choice ending. Each girl has a mutually separate ending with the MC and readers are free to pick the one they like best. There's presumably 5 but the author might go extra for fun.

Each ending also fills out a volume, i believe

Harem endings are good because every character gets to be happy within the confines of the published story.

What if they did 4 VOTOMS movies that retold each arc with the same quality of animation as the Gundam the Origin/Unicorn OVAs

The SHUFFLE! anime conclusively ended with Asa as the winner. It went through the non-romance plot beats for the other heroines more-or-less sequentially.

The Amagami anime just straight-up did all routes as their own separate thing.

on the one hand: watching stuff out of order is totally normal and fine, the only real issue is when people try to make critical reads of it despite having missing information that they are assumed to have. just from an enjoyment perspective its whatever

on the other hand: youtube nerds are insufferable

It was called Touka Gettan and based on a porn vn obviously

I sorta forgot that the first half of KnK was in anachronic order!

I actually found the series by googling with a hilariously terribly-written "analchronic onrder anim" what I was searching for:
