trelobitaI'll put all of these under a cut to make it easier to link them all together at the end.
These guys are at the very top of the male half of my harem.
Number One Man:
Kaworu Nagisa (Neon Genesis Evangelion):
This beautiful, mysterious, angel has been at the top of my list for a very long time now. His character is so enigmatic and complex that it’s difficult to pinpoint just what it is about him that entrances me so. His quiet observation of Shinji as he gets to know him more and more.... the strange smile that appears on his face from time to time... Maybe it’s just the fact that he’s a wise, ageless being housed in the body of a fourteen year old boy, giving him a powerful, luminous presence. And the predatory way he gazes at Shinji with those deep, crimson eyes.... ayiah. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s my idea of a flawless male beauty. His snow white skin, silvery mess of hair, wiry body, blood red eyes, and elegant hands are a delight to my senses. The lilting voice doesn’t hurt either.
Harem Moment: I was taken with him almost instantly, but the real moment came when he was floating alongside the battling Eva units with his hands in his pockets.

Top Five Runners Up (In Alphabetical Order by first name):
1. Arsene Lupin III(The Castle of Cagliostro):
Lupin III has literally thirty different incarnations total, including three TV series, seven feature films, and countless TV specials, but the Lupin that captured my heart starred in Miyazaki’s first film. This film portrays Lupin in the twilight of his career, showing some regret for his lecherous past and rushing to the rescue of an innocent young woman with no intent of luring her into bed afterwards. He’s funny, kind, naughty, brilliant, and to top it off, he has the most wonderful voice in existence, the late Yasuo Yamada. I love his twinkling mischievous eyes, infectious laugh, snazzy dress style, and skinny long legs. Though I also adore the younger, hornier, more callous Lupin of the yesteryears, this is the one that made it to the top five.
Harem Moment: The entire scene where he makes his first appearance to Clarisse in her room up in the tower.

2. Count D (Pet Shop of Horrors):
Goodness, what a beautiful man!! Yes, I can assure you that this mysterious pet shop owner who dresses in a kimono and wears lipstick and nail polish is a man. It’s men like this that make straight men (and women for that matter) question their own heterosexuality. Count D is such a mysterious character in the anime that he leaves a lot to the imagination. His character is far more expanded upon in the manga. It seems that he isn’t a malicious soul in spite of the questionable things that tend to happen to many of his clients. He merely runs his supernatural pet shop and likes to eat sweets and come onto the very straight detective who investigates the strange happenings surrounding his business.
Harem Moment: When the detective brings him some candy and he reacts with adorably giddy elation. The way he lets his cool and seductive front slip at the sight of the goodies is unforgettable!
Quote: “Hello, Detective.”
3. Hatake Kakashi (Naruto):
Kakashi is probably my most predictable lust object to date. He’s a ninja.... that alone puts him way, way up in the lust-worthy list! Add to that a messy silver shock of hair, a smooth calm voice, and a too-cool-for-words demeanor, and I am pretty much in love! And he’s a teacher! I’ve always had a thing for scandalous teacher/student relationships, doncha know. Kakashi-Sensei will always be more than enough incentive for me to watch ‘Naruto’ with or without the other two characters in the series I also happen to adore. *grin*
Harem Moment: I fell hard and fast throughout the very first episode he appeared in starting from the moment he arrives late to the classroom and gets chalk dust dumped on his head by Naruto.

4. 2D/Stu-Pot (Gorillaz):
I know what you’re thinking. A blue-haired, no-eyed, gap-toothed rock singer who is of questionable intelligence and over-uses painkillers to the point of being constantly out of it? Well, yeah. 2D seems like an odd canadate for a top 5 lust object; especially since intelligent, dominant personalities tend to attract me so much more often. Fortunately, an unrelentingly sweet disposition, childlike innocence, and unusual good looks go a long way for me. Yes, I find 2D to be VERY physically attractive, and the rich singing voice provided by Damon Albarn doesn’t hurt either. 2D’s big heart and musical talents more than make up for his tendency to be spaced-out, accident-prone, and slow on the get-go. Besides, he's not as dumb as he seems. I'm simply mad about him!
Harem Moment: Hard to say. He grew on me without me realizing it. I think the ‘Dirty Harry’ music video did it. 2D’s sexy sweetness is really showcased here.
Quote: "You remember when you were a little kid and you would look at the clouds in the sky as the sunlight bounced off them. And something that simple would make you feel a part of everything and all alone at the same time. And that feeling's not something you can ever put into words so you spend your whole life chasing it: making music, taking pictures, painting... whatever, in the hope that other people will understand that sense or... feeling. As creative entities we look for signs of life outside ourselves, for a connection to alleviate the sense of solitude. That's why we do all what we do, whether we know it of ourselves or not." (See? I told you he's not a stupid as he seems! I know, the quote was too long, but it's just so perfect.)
5. Vash the Stampede (Trigun):
Vash is the kind of character that had me baffled at my attraction to him. The nutball exterior is fun, but once we got past that, I fell hard. I usually go for the more dominant types that would take the lead... *ahem*.. okay fine... I usually go for the violent and abusive villains, but here is a kind, gentle, tortured, self-sacrificing man that fills me with an intense desire to just comfort and hold. He’s certainly the biggest goody-goody in my harem. Oh, and let’s not forget that amazingly sexy red coat, the soulful green eyes, that boyish grin, and that little teardrop mole. All the icing on the cake as far as I’m concerned.
Harem Moment: There was no actual moment with Vash. He just grew and grew and grew on me as the series progressed.
