Although the quality of the harem manga is not necessarily good, it is certainly the most popular, after all, no one will refuse the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful girls. But compared with ten years ago, the harem comics in recent years can be said to be less and less, except for one or two per quarter, which have basically disappeared.
Originally, in this more widely spread Internet era, why the most popular harem comics have become less and less, this issue will talk about it.
Ten years ago, it was arguably the most glorious time of Japanese anime, when Japanese manga had very high quality, such as 2011's "Stupid Test Summoning Beast" and "Is this a zombie?" "The World That Only God Knows", "The Radio Woman and the Young Man" are all classic works, including "Stupid Test Summoning Beast" and "Is This a Zombie?" "Shen Zhi" and "Shen Zhi" were all popular harem anime at that time.
Strictly speaking, "Summoning Beast" and "Divine Knowledge" are not part of the harem fan, but according to the pan-harem category at that time (there are many female characters who like the male protagonist), they are classified into the harem category.
In fact, to say why the harem fan disappeared, in fact, the reason is very simple. Because there was a lot of harem anime at that time, it led to visual fatigue. Whether it is the routine of the plot or the character setting of the girls from that era after the harem fan has a great similarity, for the audience who experienced the time this type has no freshness, simply put, this genre is tired, so it is not particularly popular.
For the production company, the harem fan routine is also almost developed, especially the harem fan with modern society as the background, it is more difficult to create the ownership of the heroine, because it is necessary to respect the monogamous relationship of modern society, so there are many harem fans that can eventually become only a pair, and the audience also has visual fatigue, so the production in this regard can not get high returns.
But this does not mean that the harem has disappeared, I think it is not so much that it disappears that it is better to change another identity and appear in front of everyone's eyes.
That is the "other world", the other world theme of the anime has risen rapidly in recent years, accounting for at least two or three animations in each quarter. One of the reasons why the other world can rise is to greatly increase the creative space of the creators, no longer constrained by the modern social background, and the second other world theme can attract the audience more.
At the same time, because it is not constrained by the framework of modern society, in the theme of other worlds, we can often see that the male protagonist can open the harem without worry, and no longer have to consider the practical problems of monogamy, the sister is casually accepted, and the routine design is more changeable. There can be a variety of different kinds of character designs, such as cat ears, elves and so on.
So now the harem fan has become another world fan, although in recent years there will still be some harem fans, but most of them have a mediocre response, not as high as the "five-equal flower marriage" and "We can't learn together" Party competition fan people.
