Day 26 - Your favorite harem anime

What is Harem?

Harem, broadly speaking, is a loose subgenre of anime and manga characterized by a protagonist surrounded, usually amorously, by three or more members of the opposite sex. The most common and practically tantamount scenario is a male surrounded by a group of females; when this is conversed it is informally referred to as a reverse harem. More recent variants include removing the protaganist's opposing sex to allow for yuri harems and yaoi harems (as with Maria-sama ga Miteru). The term is derived from the Arabic "harem", modernly defined outside its original meaning as "a group of women associated in any way with one man or household".(wikipedia)

These are my favorites:

Harems as an additional element:

Oh my goddess!
