I'm about 3/4 through the first arc of Gate, and I'd say anyone looking for harem in it is going to be looking for a long time.

I think the first character of the harem was introduced in episode two, so I wouldn't be too sure.

Well, I've been introduced to three over a really short period, but the only harem-like interaction thus far has only been mentioned in passing and is pretty clear the main character isn't aware of it due to the emergency at hand.

So it does get a bit harem-y.
But it's neither of the types POS described earlier.
And then there's this:
Spoiler


It's also arguable that there is no harem.

That's good to know. I really don't mind the Harem aspect if it doesn't distract from the show.

I'm finally watching Steins; Gate thanks to Netflix...I was on the fence, slowly leaning towards liking it just for the character interactions, but episode 9 has just blown me away. I think I'm beginning to love it.

Watching two animes at the same time. Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex and Fate/Zero.

The first one I am a bit more ahead. I am liking it, but nothing out of the ordinary and I cannot help but feel sad whenever the major appears dressed as a slut. It breaks the immersion.

Fate/Zero, on the other hand, is much more promising. Wonderful animation, great actions scenes, and the anime is not just a mindless action anime. Loving it.

This is by and far my biggest problem with SAC. It just makes no damned sense that nobody reacts to it - nobody else in the series dresses like that. Probably why I like the second season better if only because she gets to put a damned shirt on.

Finished Gate, except for the Extra arc.
I was wrong. There's most definitely a harem. I might even place it under POS's type 2 MC-is-in-Denial Harem.
Except for the fact that the MC, being an otaku, is pretty self-aware regarding this matter.

I still wouldn't worry too much about it though.
Honestly, I felt as though the author should have spent more time on the relationship between the MC and the girls, if anything.

Loved Fate/Zero. I would also recommend Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. Takes place after the events of Fate/Zero.

Totally on my plan to watch the continuation. I read some reviews and Fate/Stay Night has bad reviews, but Unlimited Blade Works has good reviews, which it seems it is a retelling.

SAC I don't plan to continue watching after I finish this part.

I liked Zero a lot, but Unlimited Budget Works just sort of fell flat to me.

I didn't love it, the first season was too slow, I only kept with it because of Zero, and the big twist wasn't my favorit, but it was a good, short anime to pass the time.

I didn't like Unlimited Blade Works. It's partially because of nostalgia for the original, but to be honest I didn't really like the story all that much.

I saw the first 2 episodes of the original but didn't finish it, might give it another chance.

Original wasn't very good.
Go play the game if you actually want something decent.

I decided to stop watching SAC. One more for the colletion, which I am sure it is bigger than the ones I finished. Not a hard decision, watching it was becoming a burden. I blame partially Fate/Zero for this.

Finished Fate/Zero. I liked it a lot. The end seemed a little rushed and less exciting than expected, but otherwise it is a very good anime.

Started Psycho Pass and Tatami Galaxy.
