>>1471339I have a very big soft spot for Sakura Wars and Galaxy Angel. They're like perfect time capsules of those old 2000s episodic action-harem series, with a lot of fun little mini-episodes, villain of the week action and a grander, higher-stakes overarching plot. Only that unlike those series where status quo was king you actually get to steer the plot/interactions towards the characters you like and ignore the rest.
Amagami's good too if you haven't played it yet, and has had a full translation fairly recently after decades of eternal limbo. Less stat management than a classic dating sim, but the schedule management puzzle mechanic is fun to crack as well.
