The Best Harem Anime of All Time

Harem anime is notorious for multiple heroines and fanservice, but it is more than that common notion. They are also known for their out-of-the-world plotline, be it fantasy or slice of life with well-written characters. 

Over the years, there have been many harem anime coming out, and it’s a matter of what to watch. Well, don’t worry, we got you! Here is the list of the top 10 harem anime to add to your binge list. 

10. To Love-Ru

Tu Love Ru is a classic harem anime where the main character gets pretty girls going gaga over him. Yūki Rito was a normal 16-year-old high school student until he encountered a cute alien princess, Lala, who fell for him

Although he only has eyes for his kind classmate, that doesn’t stop Lala, his younger sisters, and other girls from growing fond of him. We don’t know about Rito, but Lala certainly has no problem sharing him with others.

9. The Quintessential Quintuplets

Fuutarou Uesugi is an academically bright student who is given the job of tutoring the five quintuplet sisters. The series revolves around Fuutarou’s growing friendship with the quintuplets and their daily shenanigans. 

The five sisters, as expected, do fall in love with him throughout the series. But the anime is by no means a standard ‘harem’ as MC ends up with one of the sisters. This harem anime is very wholesome, with the best part being the Nakano sister’s bond. 

8. In Another World with My Smartphone

Another harem isekai, where the main character with the superpower gets many girls. The story follows 15-year-old Touya Mochizuki, who gets reincarnated into a new world after accidentally getting killed by God

Since Touya now has power, he uses it to battle powerful opponents and save beautiful distressed heroines. He has a total of nine fiancees, but there is totally no competition between them, as polygamy is completely normal. 

7. Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

Don’t get intrigued with the anime’s title, as the plot is even more intriguing. Saekano is about otaku Tomoya Aki and his group of  ‘female’ recruiters who help him develop a visual novel. That’s how ‘blessing Software’ comes into existence

The new group puts all their blood and sweat into creating their envisioned project and, in the process, does become closer. All the beauties are impressed by Tomoya and want to be with him, but sadly, he has his eyes set on one girl. 

6. Rent-A-Girlfriend

Chizuru Ichinose is set up as the main love interest, but this doesn’t stop his ex-girlfriend and other girls from trying to win the affection of Kazuya.

Naoya Mukai finds success in wooing his childhood friend but later also falls in love with his shy classmate. But the count doesn’t end at 2 when an obsessive stalker and a rich girl come into the picture. 

The anime is really entertaining, with plenty of hilarious moments and appealing characters. It’s a light-hearted drama, definitely not meant to be taken seriously.

Mushoku Tensei stands out more for its interesting storyline than its harem subplot. This new-gen anime topped the viewership’s charts and is often praised for its world-building and character development. It’s a harem isekai done right. 

The story occurs after a middle-aged man starts over in the new world after getting isekaied. As of now, with season 2 ending, Rudeus has two wives, with the third one soon to make her entry. 

1. High School DxD
