This killing leads to the main protagonist becoming the ‘God Slayer.' The story follows these events closely enough that you feel like they could happen in real life.
Though he's still new to life as a Campione, Godou has learned that being famous is not easy.

To Love Ru
Rito has a crush but couldn’t confess. His life becomes more complicated when Lala appears naked out of nowhere.
When Lala wants him to marry her, her father wants him to fight the other candidates. Otherwise, Earth will perish.
From here, everything turns upside down. And every time he tries to confess, other girls appear and fall for him.
This anime has plenty of fan service with naked girls, but it doesn't go into detail about the story.
The characters lack development as well. They're mostly stereotypes that one can easily forget once finish viewing.
Still, it is definitely worth watching if you want something light-hearted and fun. Plus, the animation is superb.
Demon King Daimao
Throughout his young life, Akuto always wanted to make the world into something better. But he transfers to some magic school.
There, he meets a ninja who told him he would become king of demons one day. This revelation changes everything drastically.
People begin to fear him, to the point, where his friends abandon him.
So, what would you do if your personality was seen as dangerous and people began to fear the things that makeup who you are?
That’s what Akuto has been dealing with since he obtained his new power. The girls from all over want one thing: either use him or turn him toward good.
Shinmai Maou no Testament
When Basara's father remarries, he has two new beautiful stepsisters. Little does the high schooler know that his new sisters are actually demon girls.
One is a daughter of a demon lord and the other is a succubus servant. Luckily for Basara though he ends up becoming Mio’s master by accident thanks to a reverse contract.
Comparing this series to High School DxD, it’s almost the same. Rias is a daughter of a demon and so is Mio.
Issei gains unbelievable power and weapon and so is Basara. Their weapons look similar, too.
Plus, each is action-packed and contains ecchi moments that will make you blush (or maybe grin)! So, watch this in succession to see the difference.
Freezing
This anime is one of the few that have an actual, interesting plot. It’s not just fanservice with no substance behind it. There's actually some really cool stuff going on here!
In West Genetics Military Academy, students train to become “Limiters" so they can fight off the Nova Clash, an alien race.
Limiters have stigmata implants on their spine giving them enhanced abilities and superpowers.
The harem anime progresses well and has good humor with it too! There is no shortage of female characters with an abundance of sex appeal.
If you enjoy a good anime ecchi between two attractive characters, then look no further than Freezing!
Maken-Ki
Maken-Ki is a fun, action-packed anime featuring Takeru Ohyama, an ordinary teenage boy with a dream of having his own harem.
As you would expect, he's typical in terms of appearance and personality.
But this time around there are some surprises waiting for him at his new school, a newly turned co-ed! Moreover, the academy is actually a training school for maken-wielding students.
All students have maken, a weapon used for fighting, except for Takeru.
Much to his disappointment, his hopes of happy high school life are crushed. Despite this, this young man continues to enjoy his life at his new school.
Date a Live
“Date a Live” may sound like your average Shonen anime about school-boy antics. But this popular show has an especially interesting premise.
The main storyline is about an average boy whose life changes when he realizes that there are strange phenomena. These phenomena are called spatial quakes, created by beautiful spirits.
To save his town from destruction, the main character dates these spirits and makes them fall for him. The ultimate goal here is to save them from getting killed.
Date A Life might seem like an ecchi series at first glance but there are deeper themes underlying every episode. It is a fun, romantic anime about saving the world from destruction.
So, I Can't Play H!

When this young gigolo met Lisara, he thought he was super lucky. Little did he know that the beautiful goddess is a Shinigami who wants his “essence”.
After their encounter, Ryosuke loses all the lustful desires that make him a degenerate to girls. Now, he must take it back by joining the girl on an adventure of a lifetime.
You’ll be hooked on the story of this anime, from start to finish.
The characters are so relatable, not to mention their battles with demons in H-scenes will keep your blood pumping and hot!
Sekirei
Minato Sahashi has failed 2 college entrance exams because of low self-esteem. One day, out of nowhere, a seductive woman named Musubi literally falls in him (or rather in his lap).
With a kiss, they’ve become partners in a battle, called Sekirei Plan. But his misfortunate or maybe his luck didn’t end there because five other Sekirei wants him to be their partner.
The story is almost like the manga series, although there are some changes with the ending. Done by the Seven Studio Arc, the art is amazing.
You can tell they took care in making sure everything looked nice while keeping things interesting between scenes. The harem anime is a must-watch, definitely.
Highschool of The Dead
The premise of this anime is sure to keep you entertained. It takes the definition of ‘ecchi’ and runs with it.
As a result, the series creates an entertaining storyline that doesn't shy away from any aspect but instead embraces them!
The storylines are great and add in some memorable characters for good measure too.
Total chaos broke out in Japan when the dead began to rise. The only survivors are a group of friends.
It doesn't take long before this group is forced beyond desperate measures.
You'll be on the edge of your seat with this action-packed anime. The fan service is relentless and so are these heart-pounding scenes!
Tsugumomo
In this series, you get to meet two types of tsumogami: the violent amasogi and the harmonious tsugumomo.
Kazuya always kept his mother’s obi with him after she died. One day, he almost died when an amasogi attacks him. But this kindred boy was lucky to have been saved by a tsugumomo.
It was the obi he had been holding to for years after the mysterious death of his mother. Now, Kazuya is the new owner of this tsumogami.
When it comes to anime like Highschool DxD, there are plenty of male leads who fall into the reverse harem category.
But what makes this one different? The answer is simple: ecchi visuals and humor!
Princess Resurrection
Hiro Hiyorimi’s heroic act of saving a mysterious girl ends up in his death. Fortunately, the girl named Hime is an heiress to the Monster Kingdom. Thus, she has the power to resurrect the dead
The complications didn’t end there. Now, Hiro is unknowingly tied to the battle between Hime and her siblings for the throne.
Being a half-dead, half-immortal hero, this young man needs to get the hang of his new life if he wanted to survive. He must face vampires, werewolves, and other monsters.
But, this battle has become weirder when Hiro has to face the not-so-typical monsters. You should watch this to know what I’m talking about.
Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia
If you're a fan of High School DxD and other anime with high-quality fan service, then this should be right up your alley.
Kizuna Hida has a special ability called Heart Hybrid Gear. So, his sister asks him to enroll in Strategic Defense Academy and enhance this ability.
Much to his embarrassment, most of the students are female with big breasts. What’s more perplexing to this young man?
A lustful encounter with him enables the other young females to recharge their energy. Although Kizuna doesn’t like the situation, his sister has other plans.
Whether he succumbs to these erotic encounters or not, he has an Earth to protect. So, this gifted young man must do his best.
Princess Lover
Teppei Arima grew up in a humble household. He didn’t know that he has a rich grandfather until the death of his parents in an accident.
His grandfather took him in. In return for his generosity, this young man has to take care of the business.
As part of the preparation, he enrolls in an elite school where he will get his training. During his time at school, Teppei learns that he’s engaged with the beautiful Sylvia van Hossein.
Like Highschool Dxd, Princess Lover is a comedy harem anime. Being a harem series, expect some ecchi scenes that will make you cover your eyes (if you’re super modest and conservative).
Seikon no Qwaser
Seikon no Qwaser is a bit weird if you look closely at it. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with breastfeeding but when you see it an adult sucking like a baby, well, you know what I mean.
Although the manner of getting the power is weird, the abilities of a qwaser are really awesome. Each qwaser can control a specific element.
In this series, our main male protagonist can control iron. With the help of this silver-haired boy, the two sisters want to find out why these creatures are suddenly after their father’s icon.
Tomo and Mafuyu are clueless why their father suddenly dies. And, they must know the connections before someone else gets killed.
Daimidaler: Prince vs. Penguin Empire
The battle between the Penguin Empire and Beauty Salon Prince continues, with each side developing its own ultimate weapon.
In order to fight back, the Beauty saloon prince created their ultimate weapon: Daimidaler!
Now, they need a hero to control the weapon. Thus, Koichi Madanbashi is selected.
So, this series is like Highschool DxD in terms of ecchi and comedy. It also has a mecha theme. The main protagonist is hentai who is crazy over big breasts.
Aside from these, the anime targets the seinen demographics in Japan. I recommend that you watch it to make the comparison. I don’t like to ruin the fun.
Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan
Peter Grill is one of the strongest fighters in the series. He is a simple-minded guy who just wants to find his perfect female partner.
Unfortunately, the world he revolves in is not as simple as he thinks it. Females throughout the country seduce him into having an intimate moment.
For an ordinary teenage boy, this attention is quite ego-boosting. Plus, it’s dream come true.
Like the Highschool DxD, it’s borderline hentai. Although some ecchi moments are scandalous, they become a great part of the story.
I would recommend this for guys who want some action-packed stuff, but not if you're looking exclusively at anime artwork and sex adventures!
Redo of Healer
Keyaru got a healing power and could heal any injuries, severe or not. This young man thought he could become a great hero. But the opposite happened.
Instead, the MC suffered a great deal of agony. As heal one injured person to another, he decided to collect their memory. Keyaru wanted to use these skills and memories.
When he got the necessary power, he lost everything. So, his final act is to redo everything. Would everything go back to where it was?
This ecchi harem genre anime has a mature theme. It’s all about revenge. I’m not really sure but the ultimate goal of redoing history to exact revenge is rather selfish for me.
Still, you can give this anime a go for its ecchi if you’re into that.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
Sakura Kusakabe is a normal boy with a normal life until Dokuro came into his life. With her spiky club, he experienced death and resurrection numerous times.
This poor boy doesn’t know why Dokuro is being a nuisance in his life. Unknown to him, this girl is an angel sent from the future to kill him.
Why? Because he’s destined to create an abominable technology.
The series is like high school DxD in terms of ecchi and school setting. It’s not a harem so don’t expect a lot of girls coming in and out of Sakura’s life.
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san is one of the series with supernatural themes on this list. It revolves around a psychic and a ghost.
Kogarashi can see ghosts and exorcise them. He intends to stay in the boarding house (a former hot springs inn) where ghosts inhabit.
Unfortunately, the news of hostility about these lost spirits is nothing but an exaggeration. This young psychic learns that the female ghost has some unfinished business that needs to be uncovered.
This series is an ecchi harem. So, yes, you’ll see lots of pretty girls who are mostly tenants of the same boarding house.
Its comedic scenarios will make you laugh and give relief from everyday stress.
Val x Love
Takuma Akutsu is a socially awkward and lives alone in a big house. One day, Odin chooses him to be the lover of Nine Valkyries.
Despite his anxiety, this young man decided to help the girls. But, there’s a catch. The sisters/Valkyries need to level up their skills through Takuma.
So, it’s obvious. Val x Love is a harem anime. The question is: can the boy overcome his social anxiety with the help of these gorgeous?
A socially awkward man and gorgeous ladies who are skilled warriors are ingredients of a disaster. Watch this anime for hilarious moments.
Warning though! This anime has some nudities. So, minors don’t watch without supervision.
Interspecies Reviewers
Every race imaginable is living in this fantasy world. But, there’s one question raised so often in taverns. Who is the sexiest race?
So, a group of adventurers thought of creating a review for the benefit of everyone.
I think you where this synopsis is going. Yeah, the adventurers namely Crimvael, Stunk, and Zel, decided to have a taste of whatever comes their way.
The premise is sleazy but the anime isn’t hentai (well not in the sense you know). It has some nudity but the comedy on the anime is quite refreshing if you have some dark humor residing in you.
Anyway, episodes on Interspecies Reviewers are hard to find. But they’re out there.
Ladies Versus Butlers!
In this list of anime like Highschool DxD, Ladies vs butler is one unique story. First, the male MC is evidently flawed with a scar on his eyebrows. The first I’ve seen.
His eyes are red, which is only associated with demons and vampires in the human world. As to character, Hino Akiharu is your typical boy struggling with life because he lost his parents at an early age.
Second, beautiful girls dislike him or are afraid of him because of his facial scar. And it’s a harem ecchi.
You would expect that the male protagonist is flawless and charming to ladies but he’s the opposite. One thing is consistent. He is kind and responsible.
Trinity Seven
What would you do if the sun stopped shining?
The people of Arata's town were victims of an unknown phenomenon that caused their destruction and disappearance. All seemed lost until Arata used a magical grimoire given by his childhood friend to reconstruct everything.
Unfortunately, his rebuilding of his town triggers something. Now, a girl wants the grimoire back or his death.
Instead, Arata decides to enroll in an academy where 7 girls are dominating it. To save his town, he knows he must control these girls.
One boy and seven girls, representing the famous seven deadly sins (Pride, Wrath, Envy, Greed, Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony), are the right ingredients of a harem.
You’d enjoy this anime, definitely.
Strike Witches
The year is 1939. Humanity faces destruction at the hands of a mysterious alien race known as Neuroi. This alien race nearly annihilated all humans but didn’t succeed yet.
Every nation united and use its power to create a weapon as countermeasures. Thus, the Striker unit is born. It enhances the power of witches.
Several years later, the battle continues. Now, humanity is intent on ending the war. One group, named Strike Witches, recruits girls with immense magic to fight.
This anime has young women as casts, so no harem for you guys. But it still is ecchi anime. Since it’s all-female, you might find some yuri scenes here. It's time to dig in.
Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero
Well, this is an interesting anime. It's very similar to DxD in many ways but there are some differences too!
The main character has to face off against an evil dark lord and return to the human world with a girl. From there, the two have to work together to survive attacks of enemies.
The hero isn't just any regular human being anymore. He acquires some magical and powerful skills after defeating the evil lord.
Devils and Realist
The story is about William, an intelligent young man with a taste for adventure. One day while exploring his uncle's estate, he discovers something that has been hidden from him all these years.
The young man finds a secret room filled with cursed treasure and ancient magic spells! Accidentally, he summons a devil named Dantalion, and everything changes.
This anime is like Highschool DxD because it involves demons and a brilliant male MC who can overpower the villain. But, it’s not ecchi or girl fanservice anime.
All the characters in Devils and Realist are boys. So, it could be a yaoi or BL. Find it out by watching. The boys are gorgeous.
Kämpfer
Males transforming into females? That’s the premise of this anime. Natsuru finds himself in a girl's body or rather transformed into a female.
For some reason, the so-called Moderator chooses him to be a Kampfer, a male turning into a female. Now, Natsuru must find the courage to fight other Kampfers, too.
His only indication of these people is the bracelet they wear just like his. Would he be able to defend himself?
I hope you find this list helpful if you really want to binge-watch anime like highschool DxD.
