Harem or reverse harem animes are not everybody’s cup of tea. Some of us like them and some of us despise them too much. Maybe one of the reasons is that harem anime most of the time sexualizes characters too much, and they collaborate with the genre ecchi very often. Honestly, if you search the top lists of any anime database website, you will hardly find any harem anime. So for the sake of anime fans, today, we have made a list of the top 10 best harem anime.
1. Nisekoi
Nisekoi literally means fake love and this is probably the best harem comedy anime on this list. Based on the manga that goes by the same name, Nisekoi has two seasons. It is a rom-com anime with Tsundere characters and the comedy is top-notch. There are not many ecchi scenes in this anime. Lisa did the opening song for season 2, she also did the super catchy opening songs for Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Nisekoi anime also has a short collaboration video with Bakemonogatari since both anime are from the same studio.
2. Date A Live
When you have to date beautiful and sexy girls to save the world, it must feel like heaven on earth. That is what happened to the protagonist of Date A Live. This anime will feel like a mixed version of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sword Art Online. So if you are a fan of these two anime, go for it.
Sci-fi and harem is an odd mixture but it is not entirely very uncommon. At least better than an Isekai Harem in my opinion. And Date a Live might be the best one in the Sci-fi-harem genre.
3. Highschool DxD
Highschool DxD is a super ecchi anime. So don’t even think about watching it with your family. And yes, the DxD in the title is exactly what you think, you pervert!
Plot wise Highschool DxD does not have any depth, but it does play its role as a good example of harem anime. The main male role, Issei is voiced by the famous voice actor Kaji Yuuki, who also voiced Eren from Attack on titan. This anime is extremely popular and has four seasons, the last one came out in 2018.
4. The Quintessential Quintuplets
The Quintessential Quintuplets is currently the best harem anime on Crunchyroll. It tells the story of a Quintuplets sisters and their tutor Futaro Uesugi, who happens to be only a 2nd-year high schooler, and their classmate.
Now, these sisters are the absolute troublemakers and no way they trust Futaro. But he must earn their trust since his payment depends on the good results of these girls, but that will not be easy at all.
The first season of The Quintessential Quintuplets came out in 2019 and the 2nd season in 2021. It also has a movie that came out this year.
5. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
The world of this anime is called Orario, a real fantasy setup. Here, adventurers work together to find treasure in the underworld called the Dungeon. But the main man of this anime has ambition for neither rich nor popularity. The only thing that matters to him is women. And what other place do you think is best to pick up damsels in distress?
Romance-wise, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Indeed one of the best harem romance anime on this list.

6. Ouran High School Host Club
Ouran High School Host Club is one of the best shoujo romance anime ever existed. And yes, it is also the best harem anime on Netflix. If you like old shoujo anime like Kaichou wa Maid-sama or Fruit Basket, you will love Ouran High School Host Club, also known as Ouran Koukou Host-bu. The few romance anime that studio Bones has produced, this one is the 2nd highest rated anime, (the first place is owned by Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi).
7. Kiss Him, Not me
If you are a hardcore Otaku, you should already be familiar with the term Fujoshi. That is what our female protagonist is. She was fat once, but then her favorite anime character died. She cried a lot and this somehow helped her shed a lot of body fat. Now that she is skinny and pretty, all the boys in her school want to date her. But she would rather have the boys go at each other than actually date them.
8. Hana Yori Dango
Does the name Boys Over Flowers ring any bell? Well, you will be shocked to know that the famous Korean Drama that became Lee Min Ho’s career’s turning point is actually based on a reverse harem manga. Honestly, you will be amazed to know how many popular Asian movies and dramas are just adaptations of manga. The manga became so popular that it was later adapted into anime, J-drama, K-drama, C-drama, Thai-drama and Taiwan-drama.
Hana Yori Dango has a total of 51 episodes and a movie that came out in 1997.
9. Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja
Also known as The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest, it is the best harem anime of 2022 produced by J.C.Staff. It is based on a light novel. If you are looking for a romance anime you might want to skip this one, because Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja is a fantasy shounen anime with no clear indication of romance. The voice cast consists of seiyuu like Ono Daisuke, Hino Satoshi and Eguchi Takuya.
10. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge
Nakahara Sunako, the female lead of this reverse harem anime, I can totally relate with her. A girl with no desire to be a lady who is also obsessed with horror movies, coffins and gore. But her aunt has another plan.
When Sunako is forced to live in a mansion that her aunt owns, she finds herself living with four beautiful boys who have placed a secret bet with the aunt to make Sunako a proper lady. Will Sunako be able to resist the temptation of the pretty faces and stand her ground? You have to watch the anime to find out.
