After rewatching Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe, I came to the conclusion that it’s not the harem anime genre I have a problem with. I have a problem with how aggressively heteronormative it is. I’d love a really fun LGBTQA+ harem anime that also avoids some of the more problematic aspects of harem anime like an unrealistic portrayal of how romance works. 

Harem anime can be fun, but having inclusive ones would be hella rad. Also let’s ditch the blank slate protagonists please. PLEASE.
