No wonder if you search for ecchi harem anime and google shows you results for High school DxD. It is perfect because Highschool DxD is undoubtedly the best ecchi harem anime ever made.

2. Heaven’s Lost Property
- Logline: Tomoki Sakurai is shaken by surprise when a winged angel falls from the sky and starts calling him master.
- Year: 2007
- Anime Vibe: Fantasy
- Studio: AIC A.S.T.A
I often used to judge a show by the quantity of harem in it but soon realized that a solid story is what creates linking for a show, not the harem elements.
That being said, Heaven’s Lost Property is a superb show with a great story with a playful fan service narrative. The show sticks to its genre and never misses a chance to highlight the crux of the anime.
Summary
Adapted from the manga series Sora no Otoshimono, this anime follows the tale of a teenage boy named Tomoki Sakurai. Like you must have guessed Tomoki being the lead, is a lecherous person.
Tomoki is a follower of pacifism. His fanciful dreams of meeting an angel come to life when a winged female creature named Ikaros landed in front of him. Suffering from amnesia, she declares Tomoki as his master.
Tomoki being a pervert take charge of Ikaros’s business with both shock and pleasure. As the story progresses more beings like Ikaros, known as “Angeloids”, start coming to earth, contributing to the excitement of the plot.

Haganai is a highly creative effort to present a “How to Make Friends” themed show with a subtility of ecchi and comedy. Storywise, this is clearly not the best show on the list. A humane plot, refined character development, and the right balance of fanservice with comedy make this show an enjoyable one.
Summary
Originally titled Boku wa Tomodachi ga sukunai (meaning I don’t have many friends) is a story of a teenage boy named Kodaka Hasegawa.

This is one of the anime I can recommend to anyone. Even if you aren’t into harem or ecchi We Never Learn is a comical tragedy sewed into a harem that provides sheer entertainment in every episode. It’s a show with plenty of nonveg jokes, and hilarious comedy.

For the lovers of Harem, Ecchi, and fanservice, Sekirei is no disappointment. Sekirei has everything to be called a perfect harem anime. Excessive ecchi scenes, and a lot of beautiful anime women. This however doesn’t mean that the show compromise on its plot. Let’s discuss the plot summary.
Summary

Musubi, the woman, is discovered to be a mysterious being called Sekirei. She makes Minato realize his power as an Ashikabi, a rare gene that awakens the power within a Sekirei when coming to its close contact(you guessed that right).

This is a show you need to see to believe. Busty aliens girls falling for an average-looking human is a common ecchi harem setup but Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou pushes the boundaries of perviness. There is no point in complaining about ecchi elements if you are a true male.

- Year: 2007

- Year: 2011

I Can’t Play H is Studio Deen’s answer to- what’s a similar show like High School Dxd. Although it will be absurd to compare these shows “I can’t play H” is still a fun to watch show for an ecchi anime lover.

13. Shuffle
- Logline: Rin finds himself saught after a variety of girls.
- Year: 2003
- Anime Vibe: Fantasy
- Studio: Asread
Shuffle is a perfect example of what ecchi harem shows are about. I give special priority to shows what comes with any surprising depth in their story. Shuffle, for example, meets all criteria of a comical ecchi harem anime but the profound character profundity makes it stand apart from other animes.
Summary
This anime is set up in a fictional region called where all humans, demons, and gods live together in harmony.
The story follows a 17-year-old orphaned human boy Rin who lives with his friend since he lost his parents. His life changes when families of both, king of demons and king of gods become his immediate neighbors.

I can recall one a few ecchi animes that can hold action, fanservice, and an intense story together. Date a Live being one of such anime that I recommend to all lovers of ecchi and harem.

- Year: 2010
- Anime Vibe: Fantasy
- Studio: Zexcs
Another fanservice and harem masterpiece we must talk about is Omamori Himari. A short series with a decent story and adult action that goes off the charts. If you are motivated more by attractive-looking female figures than a deep story then this is surely your next fanservice harem watch.
Summary
The only sign left with Yuto Amakawa of his family is a rare and mysterious amulet given to him by his grandmother.
When Yuto turns 16 he meets a cat demon samurai named Himari she recognizes the amulet as part of the demon slayer family.
Since then she pledged to protect Yuto from the demons that are out to kill him but Yuto’s allergy towards cats makes the situation difficult to deal with.
16. DearS

- Year: 2004
- Anime Vibe: Comedy
- Studio: feel
A look-alike ecchi harem anime story but a comical relief makes it a show worth watching. If you are looking for a story-driven anime show I wouldn’t recommend this to you. Although if you seek to satisfy your dirty fantasies this series can prove to be a perfect watch

17. To Love Ru
- Logline: A tragic story of Rito Yuki who unexpectedly meets a runaway beautiful alien girl.
- Year: 2006
- Anime Vibe: Alien Life
- Studio: Xebec
To Love Ru is undoubtedly the best ecchi harem anime among the anime classics. Started back in 2006 it presents an ecchi plot that would beat off many new age harem anime. One main point that made me add this anime to this list is that being an ecchi anime it puts comical punches before fan service that adds to the liveliness of the show.
Summary
To Love Ru centers on Rito Yuki, a shy 16-year-old boy who thinks he would never be able to confess his love to his crush.
