Just as the topic title asks XD
Demons, Gods & Humans. Five beautiful Girls & One Guy. The story of 6 lives, filled with jealousy & hope as well as with hope & joy.
His adoring childhood friend Kaede pampers him daily; his senior Asa teases him lovingly at every turn; the princesses of the World of Gods and World of Demons, Sia and Nerine, want to be his bride and a Loli called Primula is inexplicably attached to him. In other words, he has quite the harem on his hands.
I liked the structure of the story, the drama, which makes you want to watch episode by episode. but simply the Romance and Harem also the main key factor.

What About You?

The reason I love Shuffle! is not only the story and setting, but the romance XD. I'm a sucker for good romance stories and there were A LOT of romance scenes ^_^.

I agree with Nymph. Rin and Asa's relationship is what made me fall in love with this show.

The drama, the way that harem is not as important as the romance aspect, and the fact that they went with Asa in the end and didn't leave a cliffhanger or choose Kaede instead. It was also the only anime I cried; the others would just leave me sad but the tears would still stay in my eyes.

what I liked about Shuffle! was the characterdesign, every char was very unique, that makes a show interesting and enjoyable to watch.
I loved the story very much and the ecchi scenes as well *drool* especially ep 9 :D a blank pair of breasts from Asa :P
I absolutely love harem, comedy and romance anime...especially when they have such hotties xD

My second anime and first harem/romantic anime, but beyond the emotional attachment I loved the lighthearted comedy that was at the beginning, but especially how it turned into a totlhelldeath drama with kaede's "arc". I was just watching one ep after another with my jaw dropped till morning. Shuffle is one of my top favorites till this day (even though I prefer Sia >_<)!

Plus, every time I hear "YOU", a tear comes to my eye and I can't stop smiling at the same time. Same with Mirage Lullaby.

It's the first and up untill now the only harem-ecchi anime I've seen that trancended the "average" factor of the genre mainly because:

-a good main character "a Kyon - Tomoya combination"(very important)
-an original story
-good balance of character developement, rom, comedy and ecchi
-a powerfull plot
-and arguably a right partner-choice at the end

that's wat makes it the best in it's genre and a great anime

Shuffle was one of those harem animes that you really didn't care who got the guy or who he chooses because all of the girls were wonderful in their own ways.

Kaede!

It's one of those very few harems where it isn't obvious, from the first episode, which girl the guy will end up with.
All the girls are likeable (Kaede!). I also like the supernatural elements, they come in a good amount.

And I like Kaede(!) of course.

Personaly i'm not really a fan of harem animes at all. But Shuffle! is just one of thos rare animes that has so much going for it that the type really dosnt matter. It has a nice mix of everything. I think really the only down side imo was that the "groopies" were over used and that annoyed the hell out of me. lol

plot (unpredictable, especially the main heroine, damn it..);
character design (pretty girls, good main character, nice extras);
music themes (YOU);
etc.

I really love it. too bad i don't know how to get my hands on a translated visual novel and its sequels.

I like how he actually chooses someone instead of just leading the viewer on to a possible relationship that never happens. I also like the character design and the girls are very cute!

Yeah it was also my first anime of its kind. Back when I was just getting into the whole fansub thing. Solid animation, a bit of comedy and an ending how I wanted it. It is also the first (and only lol) anime I reviewed here on MAL, haha.

This was likee my 5th/6th anime and my 1st harem too. Saw it long time ago but still remember why do I liked this one so much..
I really do loved Nerine and Asa and how the plot went out (Not so obvious like the 80% of the harems I've saw..), all the romance, the slice of supernatural things, Kaede (CRAZY-MODE ON! xD), and both those great OP and ED ^w^

I like that it's one of the very few Harem's that are actually interesting.
I love dark themes and this anime definitely had it.
All the girl's past (besides for sia kind of but her evil sister made up for that) were screwed up which made
them all interesting for me.
Plus Rin ended up with the girl i liked that most.

Personally, my favorite part of the show was the way that it developed the different aspects of each character and the way that the relationships were developed. On the other hand, the ecchi scenes were definitely a bonus! XD

I loved the show since it's the only harem show I've seen in which the guy DOESN'T end up with the childhood friend. Instead of relying on moe or forced situations, Asa won over Rin with her maturity and dependability.

I think it's mainly the fact that it's a romance show THAT ACTUALLY ENDS!!!! I am so sick of shows that are way too ecchi and the series ends without any resolution at all, ex. Girls Bravo, To-Love-Ru, Ai Yori Aioshi, and Asu no Yoichi just to name a few. It's just nice to see that some writers can actually bring their creations to nice wholesome endings.

There were a lot of interesting character interactions, I maybe dislike around two or three episodes at most, but everything had a way of playing out nicely in key moments (Asa was a big help in giving the series some weight). I'd say that for a harem anime, all the girls were not only nice to look at, but there was a lot of quality humor and introspective moments here and there. The final six episodes were the real meat of this series though, and Kaede's confession is still very memorable for myself.

I only wish I've seen more harem anime this good.

The characters were amazing, and in the case of the anime, it was original, bypassing the "childhood friend" and "first female seen on-screen" rule, and choosing an upbeat social character like Asa, combining the right amount of drama, without too much angst, and... it had a yandere...
