I don't know to answer this question. I love both genre anyway and i start from harem watcher because i am visual novels player before anime watchers. After that i certainly evolved because
SAKI and i now yurifag but still love some hetero shipping.
For me all girls show is not bad anyway. Of course mostly all girls anime start from spice of life but now they exist in other genre too like battle anime. Surely all girls anime is focusly more elder man / seinen but that the appeal also captured all ages viewer especially Lucky Star and K-ON in japan. Anyway it all according the show anyway. If it have no production value no one will care anyway.
Don't wanna talk about harem anyway. I already participate in shipping wars for 15 years now. So many good and bad memories lulz.
