Was there a trick one in there? I ask because I am pretty sure one was Wataru from Sister Princess, but he was not listed as a choice.

Excuse me, but two of your answers are wrong. Wataru Minakami's (Sister Princess) picture doesn't have his name as an option and Rin Tsuchimi's (Shuffle!) picture seems to have Wataru Minakami as the correct answer.

Yeah, looks like those two images got swapped in the code; I've fixed it. |

Wow, I even saw all of Happy Lesson (back in the day) and a few episodes of DearS but I somehow mixed up the two lead males.

So maybe this poll is to test how many harem anime series do you remember? Because if you forgot the main lead(which has become little or not important in harem series, especially recently)then you forgot the series too...

13 correct, which is about twice what I expected to get. Last edited by Saffire on Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:31 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Perfect score. Damn, I'm good
Though there were a few I didn't recognize it was a simple matter knowing who the other options were and eliminating them. |

This is brilliant! Just how boring are harem protagonists?! lol
I actually got all of the ones I've seen right. I had to stretch really hard to try to imagine the girl's designs for a couple of them, like the Sekirei dude, but most of them were surprisingly easy. Anyway, very fun. Thanks guys! (is the top answer the right one in the results?) |

First one of these quizzes where I got everything right. I never saw Happy Lesson and I didn't remember the face of the White Album lead, but once it came down to process of elimination, it was easy.

Every series I've seen I got correct. Got mixed up on a few I haven't seen. I will say Tomoki from Heaven's Lost Property took me a second. I always think of him in his other form/look instead of being like everyone else in that show.

I missed one or two but only because they were series I never got around to seeing and didn't want to cheat so I took a guess.
Still I can't believe how many harem series I've seen over the years including ones from years past. |

I think I got 2 wrong. I actually have only watched Trinity Seven of these but some are pretty popular characters and others I remember seeing in covers or recognize the character design. I was guessing some but it was like, with Wataru Minakami for example, since his series was Sister Princess, I just thought "that sounds like an incest anime and this design looks like it's from an incest anime" so I went with that lol.
I'd probably only guess 3 or 4 by name alone and not with the help of the series' name though. Last edited by Paulo27 on Tue Jan 31, 2017 1:03 pm; edited 1 time in total |

13. I knew three of the guys (Keitaro, Raku and Tenchi) and since I had nothing better to do I got ten more through a combination of elimination and guesswork based on the art styles (I haven't seen many of the titles, but I do have a vague idea of approximately when most of them are from). I apparently did it before the mistake pointed out above got corrected; if I tried later my elimination might have been more accurate.
