20 Best Anime to Watch If You Love High School DxD

If you’re looking for anime like High School DxD, start with The Testament of Sister New Devil or Trinity Seven for the closest mix of supernatural school battles, harem comedy, and fan service. Rosario + Vampire is another strong choice, especially if you want monster-school romance. The 20 picks below are an editorial shortlist, not an objective ranking: each offers a different slice of the series’ supernatural conflict, school life, comedy, romance, or ecchi humor.

How to choose your next show

High School DxD combines supernatural conflict, a school setting, comedy, harem dynamics, and conspicuous fan service. Those ingredients do not appear in equal measure in every recommendation. Some shows favor combat and academy life; others shift toward romance, bawdy comedy, horror, or drama.

The order here reflects closeness to that overall mix, with the first three as the most direct starting points. It is the writer’s ordering, not a ranking established by a source or a claim that all 20 are equally similar.

• For supernatural school action: begin with The Testament of Sister New Devil, Trinity Seven, or Rosario + Vampire.
• For harem and ecchi comedy: try To Love-Ru, Sekirei, or Monster Musume.
• For a tonal change: Highschool of the Dead brings survival horror, while The Quintessential Quintuplets puts romance ahead of supernatural action.

20 anime to watch if you love High School DxD

2. Trinity Seven

Choose it if: you want a supernatural school setting, harem dynamics, and fan service alongside the action. It overlaps with several of DxD’s defining ingredients.

3. Rosario + Vampire

Choose it if: monster-school romance and comedy appeal more than a straight battle-focused story. Its supernatural characters and school setting make it a natural companion pick.

4. To Love-Ru

Choose it if: you want alien harem comedy and abundant ecchi situations. The emphasis is more on romantic-comedy chaos than supernatural battles.

5. Sekirei

Choose it if: you want supernatural combat wrapped in a harem-centered setup. It leans into the action-and-romance side of the comparison.

6. Freezing

Choose it if: you would rather have a more dramatic, battle-focused story. Its military-academy premise supplies a school overlap, but the tone shifts away from DxD’s irreverent comedy.

7. Heaven’s Lost Property

Choose it if: you want a lighter, absurd supernatural comedy with angel-like beings and ecchi humor. It favors outrageous comic situations over a serious school-battle feel.

8. Highschool of the Dead

Choose it if: you want action and fan service in a darker survival-horror setting. This is a bigger tonal shift than the academy comedies on the list.

9. Date A Live

Choose it if: you like a mix of romance, comedy, action, and supernatural beings. Courtship is central to its premise, giving it a different route to the harem-comedy appeal.

10. Strike the Blood

Choose it if: you want a vampire-led supernatural battle story with a school-age lead. It is a fit for the action and supernatural elements, rather than an exact match for every part of DxD.

11. The Asterisk War

Choose it if: academy battles and rival or partner dynamics are what you want more of. Its school-combat framework is the main point of overlap.

12. Absolute Duo

Choose it if: you want a school for combatants, partnered action, and harem-comedy elements. It combines academy life with fights and romantic dynamics.

13. Prison School

Choose it if: bawdy, deliberately outrageous school comedy is your priority. This one is a tonal choice for the irreverent humor, not for supernatural battles.

14. Demon King Daimao

Choose it if: you want school fantasy built around a student connected to demonic power. Harem-comedy beats bring it closer to DxD than a conventional fantasy academy story.

15. Campione!

Choose it if: mythic powers, supernatural action, and multiple romantic interests sound appealing. It tilts toward action and romance rather than a school-centered version of the formula.

16. Is This a Zombie?

Choose it if: you want an eccentric supernatural ensemble and suggestive humor. Its comedy is the draw, with a more unusual tone than DxD.

17. Maken-Ki!

Choose it if: you want school action-comedy with ecchi and harem elements. It is a straightforward option when the school setting and fan-service comedy matter most.

18. Haganai

Choose it if: club-based romantic comedy and harem dynamics matter more than supernatural combat. It is a lighter, less action-oriented alternative.

19. Monster Musume

Choose it if: creature-girl harem comedy is the main attraction. It prioritizes ecchi humor and romantic chaos over supernatural battles.

20. The Quintessential Quintuplets

Choose it if: you want a more romance-centered harem story. It has much less supernatural action, making it the farthest shift from DxD’s battle side.

Content notes and where to check availability

This is mature-leaning material, not a family viewing list. Crunchyroll’s High School DxD series page lists advisories for sexual content, nudity, and violence.

Crunchyroll lists High School DxD in its catalog, with Japanese and English audio and several subtitle options shown on the page. That listing does not establish that the series—or any of these recommendations—is available in every country. Streaming rights vary by territory and can change, so check the catalog available to you. A 2017 Crunchyroll announcement named the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland for availability at that time; it is historical, not a current territory list.

For physical media, the Crunchyroll Store lists a Season 3 Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD and a High School DxD New complete-series Blu-ray. Check the store listing for current stock and edition details, and confirm that the format and region are compatible with your player before buying.
