Line 77:

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo]]!''. Along with ''[[Love Hina]]'', below, this is the [[Trope Codifier]].

* The main character of ''[[Love Hina]]'', Keitaro, is living in an all-girls inn and by the end of the series he had attracted a Tsundere, a [[Shrinking Violet]], a [[Genki Girl]]/[[Wrench Wench]]/ {{spoiler|Princess}}, a [[Bottle Fairy]], a [[Kid Samurai]], a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]/ {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]}}, his {{spoiler|[[Brother Sister Incest|adopted sister]]}}, and a [[Bratty Half Pint]]... maybe. In an unusual twist, {{spoiler|they suggest a [[Tenchi Solution]] but he refuses and marries his [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]}}

* ''[[Shuffle]]!'' sets up a contest of sorts for the lead's heart. There's remarkably little hostility between the competitors.

* ''[[To Love Ru (Manga)|To Love Ru]]''

Line 94:

* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' is rapidly turning into this, courtesy of its [[Oblivious to Love]] [[Chick Magnet]] [[Nice Guy]] hero, Kamijou Touma. Despite all the girls falling for him though, its still a story about the clash between magic and science.

* The ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' anime/novels. An alien, [[Ho Yay|an ESPer]], [[Time Travel|a time traveller]], and an unknowing goddess. Remember, this is [[Trope Overdosed|a show that sinks its meathooks into any trope it can find and folds and spindles it to shreds...]]

* ''[[Code Geass]]'': It seems like everyone in the series is in love with Lelouch. In the first season, Lelouch/Zero accumulates a rather large group of girls who have feelings for him, including [[Mysterious Waif|C.C.]], [[Tsundere|Kallen]], [[Naive Everygirl|Shirley]], [[Cool Big Sis|Milly]], [[Genki Girl|Kaguya]], and even his half-sister [[Rebellious Princess|Euphemia]]. He just doesn't do anything about it, since for the most part he's too busy trying to overthrow the government [[Celibate Hero|to pursue romance]]. The staff has said that the second season will deal more with his romantic entanglements (and note that all this is ignoring the [[Brother Sister Incest]] and [[Ho Yay]]-slash-[[Foe Yay]] ships with Nunnally and Suzaku, respectively, and a combination of both those tropes (though a downplayed one that doesn't get as much focus) with Schneizel, who refers to Lelouch as the "one he loved and feared the most").

** The second season seems to poke fun at this; as a result of his [[Ninja Maid]] running around in a [[Latex Perfection|Lelouch disguise]] and being generally nicer, Lelouch ends up scheduled to go on dates with no less than ''[[~~One Hundred and Eight~~]]'' girls. And there's Kaguya fantasizing about a [[Tenchi Solution]]...

** The second season seems to poke fun at this; as a result of his [[Ninja Maid]] running around in a [[Latex Perfection|Lelouch disguise]] and being generally nicer, Lelouch ends up scheduled to go on dates with no less than ''[[108]]'' girls. And there's Kaguya fantasizing about a [[Tenchi Solution]]...

** And yes, the staff sort-of delivered it. Not only [[Tyke Bomb|Rolo]] became a ''second'' [[Gay Option]] (who was all "Bitch, PLEASE!" at Sayoko for the 108 dates), but there ''is'' more focus on Lelouch's love life... {{spoiler|Specially when it hit [[Fatal Attractor]] levels and later Suzaku manages to ensnare the position of [[The Dragon]] to Lelouch, with all the [[Ho Yay]] squeals it implies. See the entry.}}

** This was played with in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYsycP8DecU one of the first season's audio dramas] where Shirley considers asking him to go to a concert with her and imagines him revealing that he was in love with and getting married to Kallen, Nunnally, Suzaku, Milly, Rivalz, and even Arthur the cat in that order. At the end they all decide to share him and invite Shirley in on the action. Note that Nina was not in the fantasy and it was set only hours before the Table-Kun incident.
