The opposite has been done at least twice before (guy pretends to be a girl, becomes the center of "yuri" attraction). But I've never seen a girl pretend to be a guy, and attract all these girls to "him". It would feel like conventional harem until the last few episodes, when it turns into a more pure yuri show.

Personally i prefer all-girls shows because it's always involving camaraderie and close friendship among the girls, unlike harem where the girls see each other as rivals and have tendency to defeat each other in favor of the MC's attention.
Meh, when it comes to romanticism, the harem is kind of the worst thing japanese modern entertainment pulled off, going for a triangle love or square is ok but after this it's becoming too bothersome. Both for the readers and the author, the former see the number of heroines exponantially increase and perfectly knows that if the MC only choosing one girl, it will hurt the others and the latter is forced to give a more or less equal time of appearance for each, which lead to non sensical situation like making the girl fall for the MC after only one or two ecchi flag. |

All-boys show can also have those things as well
Also last I've checked, all girls series aren't exactly free from those ugly things as well, only this time it's not focused and oozing out of every pores... But this is like going around in circles -_-;

I have a good plot where pseudo-yuri relation could occur.
A straight girl enrolls into an all girl school and she became the interest of many girls since she's pretty good in everything plus she's good in sports. She's pretty boyish in nature but has a boyfriend who she thought is studying abroad who she has constant communication with. She tells him her problem and he assures her that he'll "help" her no matter what. One day, a new transfer student has entered the school and a bishoujo. In her shocked, the "girl" says she likes her though they just met. Not knowing it was actually her boyfriend cross dressing. Now the "girl" is sharing the room with her and teases her by pervertly who is actually just trying to get intimate or testing her faithful for him. Too bad the other girls knew about the "girl's" advances and wants totry to compete for the female MCs affection!!! Last edited by NoemiChan; 2012-11-29 at 06:23. |

=== I prefer neither harem nor all-girls show, because I like both. I even read/watch shoujo oriented reverse harem shows. Each genre is probably exaggerating certain aspects and there are merits to each of them, so personally I think it's not the genre that should 'mix', but the watcher that should mix his/her watch list/read list. But anyways, if we're talking about "balance". Shows like Kyoukaisanjou no Horizon or EF or Oretsuba(well, at first), and then Durarara and Baccano, where there are quite a lot of girls but also a lot of male and not every girl is fixated on a single protagonist. These are now seemingly rarer, probably because it is harder to write/work on, but indeed they can give greater sense of satisfaction if done right.

Screw it- A sitcom then, sponsored by Dengeki Bunko. Put seven of their Harem protagonists living together in one dorm and have their various Haremettes drop in every week. Kirigaya "Chuunibyou" Kazuto Kamijou "Masochist" Touma Arita "Fat Kid" Haruyuki Aoi "Exihibitionist" Toori Hasegawa "Lolicon" Subaru Kousaka "Siscon" Kyousuke Kanda "Tsukkomi" Sorata *Why Sorata even though he's not a harem protagonist? Because it's a misunderstanding of course!*

And oh, Sorata doesn't really count, but I guess he would fit that show all right. |

This idea has been in my mind : I've always wanted to see a harem consisted of girls whose personalities would represent these girls respectively :
> Miyazawa Yukino (KareKano) > Fuyumi Irisu (Hyouka) > Watashi (Jintai) > Inaba Himeko (Kokoro Connect)

Also, I couldn't think of a good one earlier, but Kamijou-san is quite a Masochist eh? So I've changed accordingly. Quote:

I don't really care whether harem or all-girls(although I am a huge yuri fan). As long as the characters develop believably and behave like they have a brain in their head I'm fine. I do like the bromances like the one between Guts-Griffiths. But it seems to pull something like that in todays shows without the viewers going all *OMG Yaoi* seems quite difficult *sigh*
And if you want a good harem leader look at Iono - she's the perfect harem lead. Loving, caring, cherry and NOT at all oblivious to the affections of her harem.

Reason : I have one primary requirement for any harem anime whether it be stereotypical romcom or not: A harem lead has to EARN all those heroines that want him. This is why most harem stories fail for me, they just become bland people who get girls because they were “nice guys”. And unlike other male leads where the girls simply getting close to them, he’s actually out there TRYING to get the girls to like him, which makes his position as harem male lead makes some sense. |

Why not bloodbath of conspiracies ? It'd be fun
Too bad that Watashi (arguably my most favorite of all) will most likely back off the first. That should be rather easily preventable however.

Actually, let's make them gay for each other with their "haremettes" trying to win them back from the other guy. But yeah, actually, that list (give or take several other similar or non-similar MCs inside there) is one hell of a big god damn wet bro-est dream waiting to happen. Toori seems a bit too awkward there, he'd fit better with MCs such as Tomoki (Sora no Otoshimono). But throw in Kampfer Form Natsuru (Kampfer) in there for some good measure. And several other similar MCs who can transform into girls to balance the amount of sausages present. If there are trap MCs then they are fair game. PROFIT EVERYWHERE! ... That had to be a very messed up idea of a harem I just thought of...

Screw harems and "cute girls doing cute things" all-female casts... I'd just like to see some yuri aimed at actual gay women...
A niche demographic inside a niche demographic inside a niche entertainment medium... wow, I really have no hope, do I?

You mean a lesbian anime where girls can act like bitches, or *gasp* real people, instead of the idealized creatures we see in anime? Where we can see them struggling against their own parents, siblings and friends because of their sexual orientation, where classmates or workmates tries to steal one from the other? Unfortunately, not gonna happen unless an actual lesbian writes an naime about it.
