Kanbaru confuses me greatly, though from what I can tell in the actual novels, she is genuinely attracted to him. If my memory's not faulty, she pretty much said something along the lines of "I usually go for girls but I really wouldn't mind going out with you" in the novels after her arc had concluded. Which doesn't discount what you're saying in the least! It's possible (and very likely) that she's both attracted to him and had planned to take Senjoulwozzat for herself.

WHAT, REALLY. I haven't read the novels, so I wouldn't know, but augh. Maybe she's still trying it on with him in the feeble hopes that it might one day work? Senjougahara would probably still be teasing her like the hilarious person she is, so...

You're contradicting yourself here. If it's a harem anime, then no, the characters don't just "happen" to all be female by coincidence. They're female to interact with the one male character to make it a harem anime.

I meant in terms of character, haha. When I judge a character, gender doesn't matter to me at all, since a shit character = shit character, whether they're male, female, hermaphrodites or a species of sentient plant.

Focusing just on the gender ratio, though, it is a harem in name only. ...At least, just from the anime series, 'cause I only watched that;;

I mean, it could be that I'm just criticizing the entire genre as a whole,

I watch loads of shitty harems, and I usually fucking hate them. The only reason I carry on watching them is for the one character that magically is a good one, l-lmao. Bakemonogatari was the second harem to make me ignore the fact it was a harem because the majority of the characters as well as the dialogue, pacing, narration and plot were FANTAAASTIC.

simply because I don't truly see how balancing out the gender ratio a little more could have done anything but added to the complexity of the series.

I don't see why the gender ratio should matter at all, personally. As long as the characters themselves are great, I honestly could not give a flying ballsack on a kebab whether they have tits or not.

don't know. As a harem anime, sure, it's great; it works within the confines of its own genre very well! But it doesn't really subvert anything in the genre, and I guess that's what is bothering me.

Watch Mai-HiME. I really enjoyed that, and honestly did not expect it to be classified as a MAGICAL GIRL SHOW of all things, considering everything was so well-developed and lovely and the characters were so amazing. I'd do some shameless plugging of Strike Witches, too, but lmao the fanservice in that is awful. I could ignore it, since I did tolerate Seikon no Qwaser just for Hikasa Yoko and Hana, but looool.

They're all kickass and amazing characters that're female, though, which I think sounds straight up your ally? idk lol.

Did it achieve what it set out to do? Probably. Did it achieve what I thought it would do? Most definitely not.

Well, if you go into Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu or something with expectations of something equal to Waiting for Godot, you're gonna be disappointed. A weird example, but I think you should judge the show on how it actually was, rather than how you expected it to be?
