Despite following a fantasy-like premise with Demon Lords and Hero Clans,The Testament of Sister New Devilis primarily a harem series with extremely raunchy subtexts. The series ups the ante by turning the entire harem debacleinto a step-sibling situation, throwing all sorts of deviant fantasies into the mix.

Campione! Matsurowanu Kamigami to Kamigoroshi no Maou
Harem anime are often confined to mundane slice-of-life settings, merely focusing on the raunchy relationships at hand.Campione!defies this notion with its oddly intriguing premise — a harem of heretic gods.

Teenager Kurusu Kimihito’s luck lands him with several of thesebeautiful mythic women. From the reptile Miia to the centaur Centorea, Kimihito has all sorts of beguiling beauties gunning for his love.
Despite the ravaging perversion throughout the series,Monster Musumehas an English dub that is worth watching. The dubbed adaptation accurately captures the original’s charm, primarily owing to Sentai Filmworks' impressive selection of voice actors.
Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sisteris one of Fall 2024’s most promising romance entries, though the adaptation also qualifies as a harem anime. As the name suggests, the series features Uryu Kamihate at the forefront, who somehow ends up living with three Amagami sisters, and he is bound to marry one of the three. However, it’s up to the three sisters to influence his eventual decision.
Despite releasing this season,Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sisterhas already received a dubbed variant, with quality that clearly rivals its subbed counterpart.

With Cherami Leigh, the voice ofFairy Tail’sLucy andSword Art Online’sAsuna, and Jerry Jewell, the voice ofDetective Conan, the series is loaded with impressive voice actors famed for their work within the industry.
