Top 10 Anime with Fan Service on Animelab

The term fan service just implies anything in a fictional work that services the fans, but in the world of anime, things get a little sensual. To be honest, I always hated fan service in most anime, but there are some I find where the use fan service tasteful. Some of them are listed below.

Animelab is one of those services which has a separate category for anime with fan service, so it only makes sense to pick the best.

10. Highschool Of The Dead

This is the definition of a trashy harem that ends up becoming a guilty pleasure. All I can say is expect the unexpected, as the physics is very real in this one.

Highschool of the dead is about a present-day zombie apocalypse due to a deadly pandemic. The story revolves around Takashi Kimuro and Rei Miyamoto, and other students of their high school who band up together in order to combat the zombie pandemic.

Together they end up tackling issues that come hand in hand with societal collapse, with their goal of reaching a safe zone.

9. Free

This one is for the Fujoshis out there. The art and animation are absolutely beautiful, and the music gets you super pumped. This is a bit different from other sports anime, as it focuses more on the individual mindset of an athlete.

The story revolves around the rivalry of Haruka Nanase, a childhood prodigy, and Rin Matsuoka, a gifted swimmer. Along with their friends, they revive the Iwatobi high school swim club.

8. High School DxD

As soon as you saw the title, you knew this was going to be on here. Every harem trope that you are familiar with comes from here. This is one of the better anime coming from the genre. Also, the dub is on par with the sub for this one.

Issei Hyudou is a standard horny high schooler who dreams of having his own harem one day. He ends up getting killed one day by a girl who turns out to be a fallen angel. He is revived by Rias Gremory, a top-class devil who revives him as her servant.

Issei is forced to adjust to the ruthless world of demons and angels he is dragged into. He must train and fight in order to survive while keeping his new life a secret from his friends and family.

7. Prison School

You might get into this for the fan service, but that is not even the best part! Although this anime does not shy away from throwing an exposed view every other frame, the comedy is what makes this amazing. This is one of the very few anime that actually made me laugh.

This anime takes place in Hachimitsu Private Academy, a prestigious all-girls boarding school that is about to open its doors for the boys for enrollment.

Kiyoshi, Gakuto, Shingo, Andre, and Jo are the only male students in the school. Unable to communicate with their female counterparts, they decide to peek into the girl’s bath.

Unfortunately, their plans are ruined by the Underground Student Council, who take away their freedom and force them to spend a month in school prison.

6. Mushoku Tensei

This is what isekai was supposed to be. Even with the usual isekai tropes, this anime distinguishes itself with its perfectly paced story and human characters. Studio Bind absolutely knocks it out of the park with amazing visuals and music.

Mushoku Tensei is about a 34-year-old NEET who is reincarnated into another world as a baby. Leaving his past identity behind, he begins his life as Rudeus Greyrat in a medieval world with magic.

With his second chance at life, he hopes to make something of it and works on himself in order to gain everything that he did not have in his previous life.

5. KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!

If Mushoku Tensei was what isekai is supposed to be, KonoSuba is a brilliant parody of all others. The story is consistently hilarious with its band of useless characters who cannot do anything properly.

Kazuma is a shut-in NEET who dies an untimely embarrassing death. He then meets Aqua, a goddess, who offers him to reincarnate to a parallel world. She offers him any object to take something to this world, he chooses her.

In a seemingly game-like world, Kazuma is tasked with defeating the demon lord with his rag-tag party of useless members.

4. Fairy Tail

Despite its many obvious flaws, it is still one of the best shounen anime out there. The characters and the sense of family amongst them will make you fall in love with this series, with some tasteful fan service sprinkled in between.

The story takes place in the world of Earthland, where wizards use their magic to fulfill quests in exchange for money. Lucy Heartfilia is a mage who wishes to become a full-fledged wizard by joining a famous guild of Fairy Tail. She meets Natsu Dragneel and Happy, who she teams up with to achieve her goal.

3. No Game No Life

This is a mind-boggling isekai that will dazzle you with its pretty colors and seemingly simple games.

Sora and Shiro, together known as Blank, are an undefeated group of gamers in the online world. One day they are challenged by a god to a game of chess, where they easily win.

They are summoned to the world of Disboard, where all the citizens are prohibited from harming each other and all the conflicts can only be resolved by games.

Together, they aim to rule all sixteen species of the world to challenge the God of this world once again.

2. Food Wars

Despite being second on this list, Food Wars is probably the best anime that utilizes fan service to enhance its plot. How else is someone supposed to express one’s emotions for a heavenly tasting plate of food?

Yukihira Souma is a fifteen year old who works as a chef in his father’s diner. He dreams of owning the family diner someday.

One day out of nowhere, his father decided to close the diner to test his cooking abilities around the world. He sends Souma to Totsuki Culinary Academy, a prestigious cooking school where every dispute can be settled with a  “food war”.

1. Bakemonogatari

This is where you begin the Monogatari series. This is considered to be a masterpiece by many, and I am not protesting. This series has the best dialogue in all anime. Although it can be a little quirky and dialogue-heavy for some people, I think everyone can find something they can enjoy, along with some nice scenes.

Koyomi Araragi, a third-year high school student, survives a vampire attack with the help of Meme Oshino, a strange man residing in an abandoned building. Despite being healed completely, he retains some characteristics of a vampire.

One day he encounters Hitagi Senjugahara, a weightless girl. He enlists the help of Oshino to solve her problem despite her protests.

He now seeks to help other people with their supernatural problems.
