THE HAREM!
Though this site has always been a fan site, it has remained an informative site that held a very serious tone. Information was presented in a form that was as unbiased as possible. Few opinions could be found on the site, except in the Reviews sections. It was almost like an unwritten law... that as few opinions as possible could be posted on this site. And for the most part, this unwritten law will remain as a part of this fan site.
However, this unwritten law in no way pertains to this section of the site. In fact, this section will probably be the most opinionated section throughout the entire web site. "Doshite?" you may ask. Well, the answer is quite simple, really. This is a list of many of the anime / manga males that I (or one of my friends) would just love to keep in a harem. A couple of my friends and myself came up with this list one day while we were bored, and we've been adding to it since then. Obviously, this list is far from complete, and any suggestions you have can be sent to me at shelanna86@netscape.net or to the Bulletin Board, where we have a discussion devoted to the Harem. Just be sure to explain why the character should be included in the Harem. Oh, and guys, I am willing to post a separate list of favorite female characters, you just have to tell me who to include and why. By the way, all reasons must be more than "This character is just so HOT!"
Any suggestions made will not necessarily be placed on this page, unless my friends and I agree with the selection. However, they will be placed up on a separate page, and all comments will be posted. The name in parentheses next to the characters name is the person who makes the comments. The people with the most comments will be myself (Hisashi), and a couple of my friends who helped create this list (Kaori and Nariko). There is a guest host (Kaminari) who helped with some comments, as well. Also, since this is a harem page, we'll have a special guest to comment on our choices. Can you guess who the honored guest is? It's none other than the anime character who probably knows the most about keeping a good harem, Ohtori Akio from Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
And now, onto the list (which is in no particular order, except the order in which the descriptions were typed up)!
*Note: There will be more explanations as to why each character has been added to the Harem. Also, all of the series named are in the original Japanese titles.*
Tenkuu no Escaflowne
Van Slanzar de Fanel
-
(Hisashi) BAAN-SAMA!!! It's Baan-sama!!! [~Kaori~
::faintly shouting,
"Calm down, Hisashi!" in the background::].....Alright, now
that that's out of my system, I can explain why he's here. Of course, why
wouldn't he be? He's cute, he has wings, [~Kaori~
He's got a nice chest...] and he rules
an entire kingdom, which happens to control one of the most advanced
Guymelefs on Gaea, at the age of 15. [~Kaori~
They won't even let me drive at 15.] He's a fast learner [~Nariko~
Hehe. Always a good thing;)]; I mean, he never rode in a Guymelef
before the beginning of the series, and he's one of the best pilots by the
end. He's talented with a sword [~Kaori~
No comment on this one, but it's one reason to be in a harem], and
he's intelligent (how else could a 15 year-old control an entire kingdom?).
Basically he's cute, and has a great personality, and he's intelligent, and
he's got power [~Nariko~
And he's got fluffy bunny slippers, and...::is smacked upside the head by
Hisashi::], and... and... and I should stop babbling now...
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
Ah, yes... Van Fanel. A fine specimen really. He looks really nice,
and I know I wouldn't mind giving him a ride. I'm sure he'd enjoy it...
Unfortunately, I was unable to test his abilities. Every time I tried to get
close to him, his brother would get in the way. I kept telling Folken to wait
his turn, but he just didn't listen. Instead, he got angry (probably because
he wasn't allowed to go first) and attacked me. I'm told I was knocked out for
an hour, but frankly, I don't believe it. Perhaps my hosts would like to
discuss the incident in more detail as we take a ride in my car.... ::gets
knocked out by Hisashi for even suggesting such a thing::]
Gaddes - (Kaori)
Gaddes has this aura. [~Hisashi~
It's like this shining thing... No, Miki, we're not
talking about that...] Though it's really hard to tell through the TV, but I can because
I'm special. Not really. Anyway... He's got the whole second-in-command thing
going, where he really gets to make all the decisions and just lets Allen think he's in
charge [~Hisashi~ Which is good, because with a playboy like Allen, how much
work would actually get done?].
He's cute, in that almost Han Solo type of way. Rugged, I guess. He's
capable [~Hisashi~
Mmm, very capable.].
You know he'll get things done and have fun in the meantime [~Nariko~
Ooooo. What kind of fun?]. And he seems to notice that there's a reality to take care of.
Which brings us all back to the aura question...
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
::sigh:: Gaddes is very good looking. An excellent
addition to any harem. He's intelligent, has a wonderful personality, and he's
very clean, especially for a professional soldier. However, he would be a much
better catch if he shaved, and allowed his hair to grow, because long hair is
absolutely gorgeous when it blows in the breeze. Reminds me of those times
with Allen Schezar... but anyway, back to Gaddes. I'm afraid there really
isn't much more I can tell you, for he kept spurning my advances (though I did
manage to elicit a kiss, before I was brutally attacked by Kaori). I think
Folken threatened him, which would explain such unusual behavior, but no
matter. The kiss was interesting; he must have been in shock though. Probably
wasn't expecting me to be as good as I was. And, yes ladies, Gaddes is a
fairly good kisser, though not as good as I am.]
Folken Lacour de Fanel - (Kaori)
Folken. The bishounen base of my existence, excepting one other. Folken has it all. Okay, so he's missing one arm and is on the wrong side there for a while, but who
cares? [~Hisashi~ Well,
Folken maybe, but his fans... no, they don't care.] Folken has wings.
[~Nariko~
Black wings. I like the black wings...] He has blue hair.
[~Hisashi~ He
also has a nice chest.] He's a genius. He's got compassion - though it's hard to get him to show it.
He really does care for his brother. [~Nariko~
And he looks so good in those flashback scenes with him.] Oh, is he cute as anything.
[~Hisashi~
"You can stop drooling now, Kaori"]
He can change and he's proven his worth time and time again [~Hisashi~
In every possible situation, I'm sure.]
[~Nariko~
Like the energizer bunny ne?]. Excuse me while I go stare at the pretty Folken some more...
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
Back to Folken, are we? Well, he's wonderful. He's
intelligent, he strives for power, and those wings are marvelous. He seems to
be very impatient though. He's still cutting in the waiting line for his
chance with me. Every time I try to get close to his brother, he still gets in
the way. And I'm certain that he was the one who frightened poor Gaddes.
However, there is something about him that I don't quite understand. Even
though he is constantly cutting in line instead of waiting for his turn with
me, whenever I try to touch him, he hits me. I'm assuming that he's just
trying to be playful, but I always manage to get another bruise whenever I
meet with him. Perhaps I should just leave him be; I feel that he might get
more violent as the relationship progresses. Though none of the girls seem to
be in pain after they leave his presence. Maybe I should have a private
conversation with them. The planetarium would be the perfect place. ::Kaori
takes out a large mallet, Akane-style, and beats him over the head::
"That's for MY Gaddes and MY Folken... and MY safety!"]
Rurouni Kenshin
Himura Kenshin - (Kaori)
Himura Kenshin is the perfect guy. Perfection incarnate [~Hisashi~
Well, almost.. there is that Battousai thing, but we try not to mention it].
He cooks, he cleans, he does the laundry, he shops [~Nariko~
No, not that type of shopping], he's polite, he's
thoughtful [~Hisashi~
He's every woman's best friend... since she can then relax while he does all
the work], he's intelligent, he's strong but doesn't look it, and
he's got one heck of a sexy darkside [~Nariko~
Mmmm. OVA Kenshin? Yummy!]. He's chivalrous and protective
of those he cares about. He's awesome with a sword [~Hisashi~
Of course, there are few here who aren't, but he is better than most.]
and it's poetry in motion to watch him wield it. Not that he's not
poetry to look at at any other time. I could sit there and watch him
all day [~Hisashi~
"Which you do, frequently..."]. Even when his past
catches up with him and he 'forgets' a few things (his determination not to
kill, for example) [~Nariko~
What's a little bloodshed among friends?], he still exudes a yummy magnetism. Heck, Kenshin's
sexy in any situation [~Hisashi~
Mm-hmm, definitely.]. It doesn't stop at sexy either, he's a
guy with class! Brains! Considerate of women! Morals!
A conscience! How can he not be perfect?.... Oops...his shirt fell
open. Must go fix perfection. Excuse me...
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
Hmm, Kenshin. A perfect example of that wonderful race
known as "Bishounen". He has the looks and the personality that make
him fabulous. Also, he'll voluntary take on other duties, such as the cleaning
of the harem, during his stay. But that's beside the point. I must say, his
long red hair and polite nature does attract many to him, but there's also
that vicious side, known as the Battousai, that makes him dangerously sexy.
He's also clean shaven, an added bonus really. All in all, a terrific find.
However, I wish that I had been able to test his prowess with a sword, but I
was frequently interrupted. Oh look, he's by himself now. Perhaps I could...
::Kaori runs in quickly and steps in front of Akio:: "Look, Akio! It's
Utena!" ::Kaori points behind him. Akio turns to see:: Hmm, what? Where's
Utena? I don't see her! ::Akio turns back around and notices Kenshin and Kaori
missing:: Shimatta! It happened again!]
Sagara Souzou - (Hisashi)
Sagara Souzou. Definitely one of the coolest
and cutest guys on Kenshin. [~Kaori~
Except for Kenshin.] Sure, he may be
dead [~Nariko~
Necromancy??], and blamed by the Meiji government for spreading false rumors, but so
what? He's cute, and smart, and he led a whole group of revolutionaries, the
Sekihoutai, in an organized manner [~Nariko~
As opposed to an unorganized manner]. He was very well respected by his men.
They were all devoted to him till their deaths [~Nariko~
After that, they were just dead]. Even the two survivors,
Katsu and Sanosuke, remained devoted to his causes after his death [~Kaori~
There was such a cute scene when we reunited them...].
Also, he was extremely intelligent. He managed to make a group of farmers
into obedient soldiers, without using fear tactics. And then there's his
personality. He's very relaxed, never really stressed out, and yet he
maintains control over his legion of former farmers. [~Kaori~
The relaxed look will never go out of style.]
And, well, he's easy on the eyes.
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
Souzou...ah, one of the many wonderful sources
for fun. He's almost as good as I am when it comes to inspiring loyalty
in his peons, unfortunate as he was to be forced to work with lowly born
farmers. He's quite bright and his relaxed facade hides quite a passion
for things that he thinks are right. Quite a passion indeed. I'd
have a contender for my position if I didn't keep him quite as busy.
Fortunately, he's worth the effort - his hair is short but he's
quite agreeable when I suggest photo sessions. Unfortunately, Hisashi
doesn't like me spending too much time with him. I guess she hasn't
noticed how much his kissing's improved... ::Hisashi enters:: "Bad Akio!
He's been tested thoroughly enough! No touch!" ::thwap::]
Shinomura Aoshi - (Hisashi) Shinomura Aoshi of the Oniwaban. He was born a natural leader. I mean, he took charge of the Oniwaban when he was only 15 years old, a job which was passed onto him by the former leader of the Oniwaban. His position as leader proves that he was also talented and intelligent, for only such a man would be appointed the leader at such a young age. Additionally, he was extremely well respected by his followers, so much so that they died to protect him. In turn, he deeply respected his men. He's such an honorable person that he decided to pay tribute to their memories by gaining them the title of the Best Warriors. Also, though he is a warrior, he is very kind. When he first met Misao, she was just a child, and though she was devoted to the Oniwaban, he made the wise decision to leave her in a village so that she would not be harmed because she was with the Oniwaban. While she was with the Oniwaban though, all the members would help keep her entertained and treated her as if she was another member of the group. And if all this wasn't impressive enough, there's also the fact that he's extremely good looking.
Sagara Sanosuke -
Trigun
Nicholas D. Wolfwood -
(Kaminari) He's dark around the edges, but that makes him all the more
attractive [~Nariko~
Where's the cream fillin?]. With black hair, blue eyes, and a punisher disguised as a
cross [~Nariko~
Hehe. Religious weaponry],
it's hard to not be attracted to him. Or maybe its that he looks so much like Methos...
::Kaminari glances innocently at Nariko:: [~Nariko~
Methos? ::sigh::] The good news is he's got nothing against killing when there's the need... well, mostly.
Besides, he has such a nice chest [~Nariko~
And cool shades], and he is impressive when it comes to the
use of guns [~Hisashi~
Is he as good with the use of a sword, Kaminari?]. In any case, the only drawback is that he's supposedly a priest
[~Kaori~
::pops in:: Wait, that's a drawback? ::pops back out::], and he carries a confessional with him (like the real thing, but
smaller!) [~Nariko~
It's a porta-confessional]. That, and there's a reason why his middle name is
Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora...
[^Akio-san
no Kouhyou^
Nicky Wolfwood.. Definitely someone that I really wanted
to get close to. Though he is unshaven, has short hair, and looks at me funny
whenever I call him Nicky, he still intrigues me (as does the guest host, who
is often found hanging off of him...). He looks good, and has that relaxed
attitude that I happen to like. He will also do what is necessary to
accomplish a goal. Unfortunately, it is rare that I find him alone, so I
haven't been able to spend quality time with him. Oh, there he is, with
Kaminari, of course. ::Akio offers his services. Kaminari slaps him. Akio just
reaches for her hand:: "Akio! Stop it!!" ::Nariko enters. She hits
him with a broom:: "No bothering the guests!" ::Akio turns and
smiles:: Of course, mistress, I wouldn't dream of it. Shall I bother you
instead? Or were you just feeling left out? Perhaps we all could go for a ride
in my car. I promise to show you the Ends of the World... ::Kaori enters::
"Akio, down!" ::whips out the Heavy Duty mallet:: "Go visit this end of the world and tell me what you see..." ::hits him and
Akio goes to dreamland::]
Gundam Wing
Zechs
Merquise (Milliardo Peacecraft) - (Nariko)
Yummy bishounen... White-blonde hair, a perfect face,
startling blue eyes, a killer body... ::gets distracted by shirtless pic::
He looks absolutely fantastic in that uniform of his, and the gloves are a
nice touch. Too bad they hide his face for half the series behind that awful
mask. He's a prince too. His tale's rather tragic, hiding his face out of
shame for betraying his family's ideals of peace by fighting. He's
definitely a man who lives by his ideals. He looked so cute when he was
younger with those sunglasses... Anyway, he is a fantastic pilot, with only
Heero being a match for him throughout the series. He also pilots the
neatest gundam, Epyon. Well, in my opinion it's the neatest... He seems to
have a good head for strategy and is a natural leader. He's so sad all the
time... ::forgets about descript and goes to cheer him up::
[^Akio-san no Kouhyou^
::sigh:: Zechs Merquise... That aura of mystery that is kept in place by
that glorious mask of his. Yes, it does hide his gorgeous face, but it's
almost like unwrapping a present early Christmas morning, while everyone is
still asleep. It's something that you just know you shouldn't do, but you
get such a thrill that you just can't help yourself. ::grins:: And let me
tell you, he's definitely worth any and all consequences. Of course, the
mask is not the only intriguing thing about this man. He also has lovely
long white-blond hair that I just adore running my fingers through. He's
also intelligent, which allows us to have interesting conversations after
we've "interacted". In fact, the only time we haven't fully
enjoyed was when his sister dragged him away, probably to have her own
little session with him. He never did describe what they did after they
left, but I can make a rather decent guess because of my own interactions
with my sister. Oh well, maybe I should show him the planetarium one of
these days, since he hasn't been in space for a while now. Hopefully, his
sister, if she shows up, will decide to join us instead of dragging him
away. Perhaps I should also invite my hosts to join us. It'll certainly be
enjoyable for all parties involved.]
Duo Maxwell - (Nariko) Easily the most likeable of the gundam pilots. Long brown hair that can always be found in a pony tail with his black uniform and floppy cap. Duo's always got a smile on his face and a ready joke. He comes across as very human, but that's not hard compared to Heero... ::is attacked by rabid Heero fans...beats them off with threats of feeding Heero prozac:: Anyway, that smile of his is really adorable. Duo also has the best sense of drama. I mean, he calls himself the God of Death... He's a good fighter, but isn't every gundam pilot? He looks very cool in shades...
InuYasha
Inuyasha -
Sesshoumaru - (Nariko) Long white hair, golden eyes, impeccable clothes and a tendency to turn into a dog when he's angry. He has that fluffy tail as well... His face is usually very expressionless. When Sesshoumaru first shows up in the InuYasha series/manga, he is very cold. He hates humans and seems to make a hobby of trying to kill his brother. But throughout the series he evolves into a character who, if not caring, is certainly not the same one he was when he began. For instance, he brings Rin back to life after she is killed while caring for him and lets her travel with him, even though she is human. And when she is kidnapped, he does everything in his power to get her back. He cares about Inuyasha too, even if he won't admit it. When Inuyasha went all youkai, it was Sesshoumaru who was there to knock some sense into him. He even saved Kagome's life, though that was more to get back at Naraku. Sesshoumaru is very prideful. He refers to himself as kuno Sesshoumaru (I, Sesshoumaru) all the time. When Naraku insults him by trying to manipulate him, he gets very angry and makes it his goal to go after Naraku as well. He looks a bit like a girl in the manga, but in the anime he's perfect :)
Tenshi Kinryouku
Kira Sakuya - (Nariko) Tall with dark hair and a killer trenchcoat. Kira is a very mature and world wise person. Okay, in truth he's a sword who takes on human bodies so he can look after Setsuna, but he's still a person... and a cute one at that. Kira's an expert with a sword, but then what would you expect? He's been looking after Setsuna for years and in the process developed a humanity of his own. In the anime, it's so sweet to see him talking to the ghost of the body he inhabits and the way he truly loves his father. He even takes the blame for Setsuna when he's accused of murder, so Setsuna can leave with Sara.
Muugen no Juunin
Manji - (Nariko) Scruffy is the word that best describes him. He's got a nice face and the body... Right, back to the descript. He has numerous scars, especially across his eyes and nose, which he gained working for his master. He found out his master was mistreating the people and killed him, damning himself as a murderer in the process. He killed the hundred policemen who were following him as well. Somehow he was made immortal by this old lady and has now vowed to kill 1000 sinners to make up for his crimes. He is a fantastic fighter, but his skills are slipping now that he doesn't have to worry about dying in a fight. He uses a large variety of weapons too. At least twenty in one scene. You can see him take these horrible injuries, then get up later and fight. It was so neat to see him fighting with a weapon driven straight into his forehead. He has a sweet side too. He is devoted to helping Rin avenge her family by taking down the Itto Ryu. And even though he kids her a lot, he really does care about Rin and her "mental health" so to speak. Somebody needs to make him take a bath though... Oh Manji?
Anotsu Kagehisa - (Nariko) Dark hair and eyes, with a hair style involving two hanks of hair that hang to either side of his face, and a long ponytail. This man is good with an axe, his chosen weapon, which looks more like a sickle... In one scene we actually see him using a sword to cut leaves in half as they fall out of trees! He doesn't miss a single one either. Anotsu is the leader of the Itto-ryu, a radical sword school that is out to eradicate the traditional samurai ways. He had an unhappy childhood being raised by his grandfather who was obsessed with overthrowing the samurai. Anotsu seems to believe whole heartedly in this idea, but you can see the regret he has had over the years. While he is the villain of Muugen no Juunin, you get to know him and his reasons well. It is very easy to sympathize. He let Rin live when he had her at his mercy. He is also very intelligent as well. His plan to get out of Kyoto was brilliant, as was his method of recruiting followers. He looks very young for the leader of a sword school, not that I'm complaining :). His face has such a soulful expression as well.
Magic Knight Rayearth
Lantis -
Eagle Vision - (Hisashi) Eagle Vision of Autozam is a definite must for a harem. He's absolutely gorgeous, first of all. Even in the anime, where many of the characters did not look half as good as their manga counterparts, he still is a gorgeous bishounen. Also, he still has those wonderful amber eyes that could make a person just melt. But his looks aren't the only great thing about him. He has a fabulous personality as well. He's very sweet and and he really cares about his people, especially his crew. The main reason that he's going to Cephiro is to save his country, which is being destroyed by the machines it needs to function. At the same time, though, he doesn't want people to worry about him, so even though he is dying, he doesn't let his crew members know. He just acts as if nothing was the matter. He's able to pilot FTO, as well. FTO is one really impressive mecha, and Eagle is so skilled at piloting it that he has become a commander in Autozam's army. FTO itself it more like an extension of his body than a machine when he pilots it. Plus, he's intelligent, or else he would not have come up with the idea of using the Pillar System to help Autozam, and he would not have been put in charge of the mission.
