Araragi is a cockgobbler. Senjou deserves better but then since Senjou likes him it kind of redeems him. It's this weird loop. I don't know how to handle it so I just ignore it ok.
I just assumed it's a Harem show as the MC sounds exactly like the battle harem MC and the cover picture is exactly like the battle Harem cover pictures and it's a light novel adaption and it's description is exactly like a battle harem. Entirely possible it's just the LN MC without the harem attached though. Changing up the formula! :D
edit: Talking about MCs has gotten a certain one stuck in my head which just made me angrier and angrier. I couldn't even shower in peace. I hate anime.

Keima. That guy was a god. Such a shame what they did to that series, both when it comes to 3rd season as well as the manga ending. Easily worse than nisekoi ending if truck doesn't arrive anytime soon
Is there an "Exception that Proves the Rule" Battle Harem that has a (nominally) good MC?
I can't think of one, but then again after like 6 months my entire recollection/knowledge of whatever the recent Battle Harems that I watched just slip out of my brain.

I think having a shitty MC is part of the definition of what a battle harem is supposed to be.
Isn't the whole point of it to have an MC who's so bad with girls that no matter how bad you are with girls you can sit in front of the TV and be like "you know what? Not even I would be this dense". And the MC is loaded with girls nontheless.

That would require you to read instead of watching 1-2 cour shows
Trinity Seven had a solid MC...though the story was pretty meh. Rosario Vampire MC was ok and got better in season 2 (the manga. The anime was trash). IDR how the mc in Campione was....I think the mc was ok in chrome shelled region. The MC was also solid in Vanadis.

But sure, kyoukai senjou no horizon
How is that a battle harem. Most of the side cast girls hook up with other people.
I guess you can very loosely stretch it to harem due to a few of the girls and one mother that has a rather crazy appetite. Still don't think it fits the bill for "Exception that Proves the Rule" in this case.

Only stomached 3 eps then just couldn't give a shit. Completely forgot it existed.

It's got battles and toori has a harem?? It's not like I said it was conventional or anything.
But really, people want to see developments in battle harem instead of harem hijinks and you don't get that if you watch the anime instead of reading it.
FMP isn't a battle harem. If you consider FMP a battle harem, then you'd have to consider an anime with a love triangle one. Plus the triangle only survives like half the series' run.
Also a lot of battle harem anime are among the worst offenders of "advertising for the books" syndrome.
oh I forgot the 35th test platoon...their mc was pretty ok.
Also at least in DxD they gave Issei a reason for being dense..and then after that was cleared up he is a solid MC in the love dept...though his mannerisms and over dramatics are annoying.
