Let’s face it: once you’ve wrapped up High School DxD, it’s difficult to return to normal programming. There’s something too tempting about a show that combines high-speed fights, melodramatic supernatural conflicts, and so much fan service that your screen will blush. If you’re here for the demons, the melodrama, or the “accidental situations”, there’s a world of similar anime just waiting to be consumed. If you’re craving more magical madness and chaotic charm, these 10 shows should be at the top of your queue.
10. Date A Live
Imagine world-destroying Spirits and galaxy-spanning romance. In Date A Live, high school student Shido Itsuka doesn’t battle interdimensional menaces with his fists—he charms them. Yep, the way to avoid catastrophe is through flirting with strong Spirits. It’s all about harem pandemonium and supernatural romance like DxD, but with a milder, romantic tone.
9. To Love-Ru
One of the genre’s original OGs, To Love-Ru throws hapless Rito into the deep end when a naked alien princess crashes into his life. Things only go downhill from there. If you liked High School DxD’s over-the-top scenarios and harem-building vibe, this show dishes out a similar brand of goofy charm.
8. The Testament of Sister New Devil
Take your typical step-sibling awkwardness, add demons, magical contracts, and seductive power-ups, and you’ve got Testament of Sister New Devil. Basara, a former Hero, finds himself protecting his new (and very not-human) family members from supernatural threats—while navigating some very intimate spell mechanics. It’s bold, it’s chaotic, and it doesn’t hold back.
7. Sekirei
If you’re into fights with a flirtation on the side, Sekirei could be your favorite. Down-on-his-luck college student Minato finds himself at the center of a power struggle when he forms a bond with Musubi, a warrior from an unknown species. The more Sekirei that join his team, the more complicated things become. It’s a tried-and-true “battle harem” formula with good action and lots of fan-favorite moments.
6. Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero
Akatsuki Ousawa, having defeated a Demon King in a fantasy realm—oh, and he’s got the Demon King’s daughter in tow. Now a student at a magically gifted returnee school, he exists on the border between heroism and criminal-like troublemaking. Aesthetica puts DxD’s recipe and more swagger.
5. Rosario + Vampire
Normal school life? Not for Tsukune, who ends up at a school full of monsters. There, he meets Moka, a sweet vampire with a not-so-sweet inner self. As Tsukune builds a harem of magical misfits, he must hide the small detail that he’s, well, human. Expect romance, supernatural chaos, and the kind of antics DxD fans will find very familiar.
4. Infinite Stratos
A sci-fi twist on the harem genre, Infinite Stratos stars Ichika, the sole male in the universe who can fly an advanced exosuit—so he’s got girls all around him in a combat school. Insert fights, rivalry-inducing crushes, and loads of misunderstandings. If DxD’s extreme setting is your thing, this one brings it with mecha flair.
3. Heaven’s Lost Property
Tomoki’s peaceful life ends when an angel-like being, Ikaros, literally drops from the sky and starts calling him “Master.” What follows is a mix of outrageous wishes, bizarre scenarios, and a surprisingly heartfelt story. It’s funny, pervy, and emotional in all the right places.
2. Campione!
Slay a god, gain divine powers, and suddenly you’re the center of attention—for magical women from all over the world. Campione! Takes the mythological route, throwing protagonist Godou into high-stakes battles while juggling a harem of powerful ladies. It’s witty, fast-paced, and full of supernatural flair.
1. Trinity Seven
Magic school? Check. World-ending disaster? Check. Seven gorgeous mages with major power (and attitudes)? For sure. Trinity Seven sets up shop with Arata, whose life is turned around when a magical phenomenon wipes out his hometown. He’s introduced to a new world of magic, secrets, and yes, more fan service than an episode of a beach setting. Need a show that takes DxD’s energy but gives it more mystery? This is your number one choice.
Whether you’re in it for the chaotic charm, the flashy fights, or the “totally necessary” nudity, these anime scratch that High School DxD itch in all the right ways. Just remember to keep the volume low if you’re watching in public—you’ve been warned.
