2024 was an outstanding year for anime, with a dozen or more fun series to watch each season. It was also a great year for anime fan service, with lots of shows that caught the attention of fans around the world. In this post let’s walk through all the top ecchi anime from 2024!

What Kind of Year Was 2024 for Fan Service?
A lot of fans are nervous that the popularity of anime coupled with the rise of anime funding coming from international streaming companies will make studios less willing to put sexy fan service in their works. But judging from 2024, I’d say that we don’t have much cause to worry. Heck, even Sony puts sexy visual scenes in their anime for us.
And we sure got a lot of sexy anime moments this year, with several fan service-heavy offerings to pick from each season. We delved into the world of fetishes with magical girls, were hit with the desire to become sexual slaves or reincarnated shota boys, and found out what it would be like to have a harem of cosplaying otaku girls in our school club.
Let’s Rank the Top Ecchi Anime of 2024!
Let’s go through the top anime fan service offerings from January to December!
Gushing Over Magical Girls Was Peak Ecchi
A series that came out of nowhere in January was Gushing Over Magical Girls, a wonderful show that deconstructed the magical girl genre. It explored every fetish we could want to see, plus a few I didn’t know about.

Chained Soldier Brought Us Amazing Sexy Visuals
The anime that made us all yearn to be enslaved to a harem of dominating girls raised more than eyebrows.
The Dangers In My Heart Gave Us Emotional Highs with a Side of Eye Candy
I positively loved The Dangers In My Heart, and did my best to evangelize it to J-List customers. It’s all just silly wish-fulfillment about the tall, beautiful and famous girl from class inexplicably being in love with MC-kun, but I couldn’t get enough of it. There were also some fun fan service moments to enjoy.
Seventh Prince Made Us Want to Be Reincarnated as a Magical Shota
What would you like to be reincarnated as? A slime? A great mage? The relaxing I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability made me want to be reborn as a shota with S-rank magical abilities. Read my blog post about the series here!
Blue Archive Gave Us All a Foot Fetish
We love the Blue Archive game and anime series, and stock all the English-subtitled Blu-rays, kawaii figures, and naughty doujinshi you could ask for. It was fun watching the reaction to this scene when it first aired!
Anime Fans Rejoiced at the Return of Holo the Wise Naked Wolf
Fans refused to let the original Spice and Wolf series die and kept buying the novels and figures for years after the show ended. Happily, we got a total series reboot of the show this year, and it was lots of fun. Browse J-List’s Spice and Wolf products here!
Mushoku Tensei, With Magical University and Ecchi Moments
I thoroughly enjoyed the second season of Mushoku Tensei, which showed us the ongoing life of Rudy as he grew into the adult he was destined to become. It was so wholesome, getting to see his relationships with several characters come to fruition!
Konosuba Season 3 Gave Us Fun Ecchi Anime Moments
I love it when a popular series gets a huge budget for a new season because you know the animation is going to be amazing. Even the ecchi moments were gorgeously animated! Browse our amazing Konosuba artbooks, Blu-rays and figures here!
Plus-Sized Elf Was The Ecchi Anime Of 2024
If you like thicc elves, then Plus-Sized Elf was one you needed to watch. Every episode was pure ecchi gold!
Alya Sometimes Trolls Us with Sexy Fan Service
Another hugely popular anime was Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san, about a half-Russian, half-Japanese girl who sometimes reveals her true feelings in Russian…not realizing that her crush understands that language. It was so good, even the English dub was good!
2.5-jigen no Ririsa Was the Ultimate Cosplay Harem
Anime excels at crafting outlandish scenarios that the protagonist often finds himself in — situations that, as (typically male) viewers, we can’t help self-inserting into mentally. One of these was 2.5D no Ririsa, which was loads of fun. Read my blog post on the show here!
Amagami-san Chi No Enmusubi Was the Quintessential Harem Anime of the Year
Looking for a show to replace Quintessential Quintuplets? You can’t find a better one than Tying The Knot With An Amagami Sister. If the show feels a lot like Quintessential Quintuplets, it’s because the writer worked as an assistant on that show.
DandaDan Was Strange and Wonderful and Ecchi
Finally, there’s DandaDan, the weirdest anime since FLCL. It’s got it all: aliens, ghosts, an adorable budding romance…and some great ecchi anime scenes to enjoy! Read my blog post on this series here!
