Samurai 7 was the best thing you can think of?
First and foremost, the definition of NTR is "The act of stealing The lead characters love interest" and before that the lead protagonist and the lead female must actually love each other.
In the case of Samurai 7, No. Kirara never loves Katsushiro and Kanbei himself never intends to "steal" her love. And Kirara was already a Priestess, she actually stops being one after the whole story of the anime and gave the responsibilities to her younger sister.
The only NTR in Samurai 7 was actually Rikichi's Wife that got taken away by bandits and then has to bear Amanushi's Child. Heck that's borderline stockholm syndrome rather than straight NTR.
The closes anime to NTR is probably Kimi ga nozomu Eien and School DAys, but both originated from 18+ VNs, so that's a moot point.
I don't want to go too much on the definition of the term, as it's just a loosely used term. But maybe that's why my point did not come across.
The term NTR we used here were different. Let's say we have a sad drama. A guy lost his parents, lose his jobs, have to spend his life run away from mafia. By definition, it's a sad story for him. The "sad" here is same with your NTR term (let's called it NTR1), define
by the acts of the character in the story.
But the NTR genre i used here,and try to explain to others, is not defined by only the acts. Otherwise I will have to call any of the drama involve cheating to be NTR genre. The term i means, let's call NTR2 is defined by
the provoked feelings by the manga/ anime toward the audiences.
The "sad" story of a guy I mentioned above could be spin off into a comedy, like HnG case. A story about a guy who keeps winning lottery and live a happy life, can be spinned off into a sad drama about how rotten the society is. For NTR genre i define as
helpless, anger, resentment toward a betrayal act. And by the end: regret, pity on the heroine and the MC's actions/decisions. This is the definition i want to transfer across to those not familiar to Hentai
That's why I classed Samurai7 as non-H NTR2 as back then as i feel betrayal that the shounen character stereotype, not only failed to get the girl, but also showed his wimpy, helpless side along. And then in same way pity at Kirara for opening up her heart to one who will never loves her back and finally ends up alone anyway.
