Miyuki's voice is so beautiful, really miss that oniisama

Anyone still cares for harem show? Japan should finally wake up and expand their otaku horizon.
Jacob Parker
>Mahouka >Harem are you new or something?
I have no problem with changing the studio from the PV it looks the same
Jacob Williams
YEY cant wait to see my oniisama
Mason Hernandez
Let's not be delusional user.
Eli Lewis
What are you talking about? Of course it's a harem. Well over three girls have a romantic interest in the MC.
Bentley Jackson
Not a harem when the MC has no feeling except for imouto
Brayden Morgan
That's not what defines a harem, you half wit retard. What defines if something is a harem or not is how many characters have a romantic interest in the MC. Three or more and it's a harem.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harem_(genre) >characterized by a protagonist surrounded amorously by three or more members of either the same and/or opposing gender, sex, and/or love interests.
And this is extremely common knowledge. Which makes it funny that you call other people new.
Jose Martinez
The definition of Harem is that: Any anime that has more than 2 girls having feelings for the MC.
It was made by this one dude that didn't know what he was talking about. A definition that is so broad it basically has very little meaning these days. But it's the definition that's out there.
Now, what we can say and I think it's your intention is that Mahouka isn't a Harem Anime. It's not focused on the harem aspect. It's no TLR. It focuses on something else rather than the harem aspect most of the time. In that case, you're absolutely right.
Christopher Jenkins
They are not around him all the time, no story arc focus about them, and it is only imouto most of the time, and their circle of friends, two pairs that got mostly around him.
Nathan Ward
yes, that is what I mean
Jonathan Fisher
No, you're a moron. Stop talking. You only make things worse. It's three or more. And the post that explains that is right above yours.
They don't need to be around him 100% of the time. They just need to have a romantic interest in him. By your logic of every harem member must be around the MC 24/7 then 99% of all harem series aren't actually harems. Including To Love RU. Because it usually focuses on one girl or another at any given time.
Henry King
Here we go again.
Tyler Murphy
>It was made by this one dude that didn't know what he was talking about No, it was made by someone who knows exactly what they're talking about. Because anything less than three is just considered a love triangle.
>A definition that is so broad it basically has very little meaning It means something very specific and concrete. Three or more people having a love interest in a single other person.
How is that broad in the slightest?
Dylan Miller
>No, you're a moron. Stop talking. You only make things worse. It's three or more. And the post that explains that is right above yours. user. We need you to go back to school. "More than 2" IS "3 or more" in this context.
You explained it terribly then. A lot of series that actually focus on the Harem aspect first and foremost have dense MCs that can be described as not having feelings for most/all of the girls.
Joseph Stewart
>No S2. Fuck you.
Camden Jackson
>Studio: 8-Bit
TOP KEK
Levi Moore
I find it ironic that you tell me to understand context when the context of my post few over your head. You claimed it was a broad definition. I replied to that by saying it's three or more. That's finite and not broad at all. It's very simple and straight forward.
Jace Howard
>Studio: 8-Bit Not Madhouse?
Dominic Mitchell
>focuses on one girl or another As if the other girl get a focus in Mahouka
Nolan Nguyen
Nope, did not it say the staff left
Cooper Sanders
A miracle of the universe.
Joseph Allen
Do you consider Rakudai kishi no calvary harem too?, faggot.
Noah Morris
If 8 bit is doing it now, then it means there is a chance for a S2
Lets hope they can keep the quality up
Brayden Brown
Why is there always this ESL retard in Mahouka threads that's so stupid he can't even figure out how to use punctuation?
And of course that's a harem, why wouldn't it be?
Jonathan Sanchez
Darker than Black is my favorite harem.
Jacob Price
Yes, I want more Onii-sama.
Brandon Price
How many girls like Hei. About 7, right?It most certainly is a harem.
Jeremiah Nelson
Maybe if the movie did well
Jace Carter
Rakudai isn't a harem?
William Myers
Terrible example. Rakudai is like the definition of a battle harem.
NGE is better. Far better.
Thomas Sanders
But, do three girls even like Shinji? There's Rei clones which are kind of iffy considering it's his mom. And Kaworu. You can't really even pretend anyone else had a romantic interest in him.
Julian Foster
I dont know why i even bother coming to this place expecting a real talk sometimes, no one wants to talk seriously about anything else other than what waifu they wanna cum in, what super mature anime they are watching or cute girls doing cute things.
Oliver Bell
Few minor observations I pointed out in the discord chat. In the preview Kokoa has long bangs and umkempt hair, yet in the promo art her bangs are short and her hair straight. Most likely during the course of the movie Miyuki will cut her hair. She is called "the girl who calls the stars" and the movie trailer shows a meteor striking a city. This is probably a premonition of some sort, coupled with her beings a focal point her powers may be related to precognition.
Also random info from the promo stream a few weeks back: The author says that Honoka is the most motherly character in the group and she likes children.
Nathan Martin
So when does he fuck the sister, LNfags? This is important.
Andrew Rogers
They'll probably have test tube babies if anything at all, but given how far onii-sama can go for her then it's not entirely impossible.
Austin Collins
Who do you think voice the little girl new character for the movie? I can't really tell most VAs sound the same nowadays but I think since it is aniplex, so I think they will cast someone from Sony agency
Jackson Rivera
>has no feeling except for imouto Sibling love
Julian Powell
He ships her with Masaki, the red haired hair guy
Parker Cox
I don't care about this show at all, but I enjoyed reading anons describe MC's retarded powers.
Nathan Robinson
>Hiromasa Ogura Well then, at least a chunk of the movie will have great background art provided Mad Box don't fuck it up with poor digital effects.
Gabriel Gray
>8-bit
Michael Torres
It's not like Madhouse gave the series great production values anyway.

>katana nazi Erika Already laughing too much. Reminds me how cringe worthy was Katsuto's samurai armor. Clearly two bombs were too much for the author.
