There's something that I do not like about some romance animes. The author tries to make the anime interesting by introducing a lot of male or female characters falling in love with the same person, which is called harem, but the ending of the anime is quite disappointing. A typical type of story like this would be the main character being average in looks, background and others, but he or she has a attractive side. Examples would be like when the female main character lets down her hair and takes down her glasses, she becomes cute; or a male character a normal looking male character being very kind and helpful and girls are attracted by his personality.
As the story progresses on, the main characters will meet more and more people and making people fall for him/her. Towards the story, there will be one major event to decided who will become the main character's lover, or something like that. This is the climax of the anime and the results will often be at the end of the last episode.
However, the ending will, most of the times, not nice at all, or rather is comparable to our daily slip-short work. The ending appears be be happy, because all of the main character eventually didn't choose one of them to be his/her lover but instead continue as the way it was and live everyday happily.
I hate this kind of ending as it is like telling us that being indecisive in okay, it is alright. Even though indecisiveness may hurt some people, but in the end everyone will be happy. This is like the olden times, when 1 man can have multiple wives, then the man will always flirting with the women that he love while those who love him will have to endure their jealousy and feeling of unfairness.
Will you ever notice me...
