15.) If you can admit to it, I can admit to it. Harem anime are a guilty pleasure of mine, though I do not see them as exploitative. It is as you say: The women are almost always strong, interesting characters, but they have a thing for this poor nebbish of a guy who most likely wants to be left alone. (I do not count Ranma as harem; Takahashi stuff is its own infinite loop category.) And yes, the more women, the better. Variety wins. :-)
