>> mahoako crushing some het series or something
In the season that MahoAko came out there were 2 ecchi/Het/harem series, but MahoAko gained more relevance than those 2, I can swear that both increased the intensity of some scenes after MahoAko already did that from the beginning and being a much superior anime in general.
>>just unexisting the male self-insert protag and making it entirely about the girls
The Blue Archive anime was terrible, so that's not an exaggeration, the same can even be said for GF, F/GO and even Priconne.

The ones who openly hated the anime were the waifugafs who didn't like that "their" girls were real characters and weren't dependent on a poorly made male character (seriously) or that the "vivid man" didn't appear at the end and save everyone just because he exists (seriously) and then the second anime came along that was more in line with what they wanted and it was simply horrible.
I already remembered another anime on the list, Harukana Receive, beach volleyball, so having girls in swimsuits is mandatory, but it worked better than expected, in addition to the ridiculously gay nature of its protagonists and the other characters (ironically less perverted than Hanebado, which used its budget to have bouncing tits and nothing else, not even the script)
