Meh, just my shipping tendencies. I can only ship het, so unless there's at least one relatively major character from each of the sexes, my interest starts to wane REAL fast. Which is a shame really, since some series that I actually liked (ex. Space Pirates) I lost interest in somewhere along the way.
Not to say this is a steadfast rule that I adhere to 100%, as evidenced by me loving last cour's AKB0048. Main reason why I give EVERYTHING subbed under the sun 3 episodes; I never know what might tickle my fancy despite me knowing a show going against my trends.
So yeah, I prefer harem/reverse harem over 'all girl'/'all boy' anime, if it comes down to that. Of course, I prefer a more balanced approach, if only because a story IMO is only more interesting if there are love rivals on both sides of the sexes.
