Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

También puedes leer este artículo en:Español

It doesn't matter your sexual orientation or your taste in anime genres. How can we deny the chance to watch beautiful girls seducing each other and maybe getting some action?! Yuri content is not new to anime, but we can definitely say that those stories that get an anime adaptation are just a minority in the vast sea of yuri manga and light novels.

Sure, using your imagination to fill in the blanks is fine, but watching girls kissing and touching in all of their audiovisual glory is even better! So, how about visiting some of the best yuri ecchi anime in existence? Some are better than the others, that’s for sure, but you will find girl on girl action in all of them, with all kind of plots and characters.

10. Cutie Honey Universe

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: April 2018 - June 2018

Cutie Honey Universe is the latest entry in the Cutie Honey franchise, a classic shounen anime that became famous for its use of yuri ecchi. However, the plot and characters here are nowhere near the original adaptation, so watching it should be considered merely as an introduction to Cutie Honey and not as the "ultimate experience" for Cutie Honey fans.

When the first thing you see is two hot girls in bikinis making out during some sort of pool party, then you know Cutie Honey Universe is not fooling around. Sure, the next couple you see enjoying themselves may not be that hot, but to each their own, right? Even if it could have been better, the one thing that any Cutie Honey story must respect is that love is always in the air and sexual tension moves the plot forward. Now you know what they mean by "action" anime!


9. Tachibanakan Triangle

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: April 2018 - June 2018

Don’t let the word “triangle” fool you: this anime kind of revolves around a conflict between 3 girls, but the other characters also add something to the yuri ecchi mix. You see, the main character is Natsuno Hanabi, a freshman student who moves to the Tachibanakan dormitory and falls for a naked mysterious girl, and that’s when her childhood friend’s jealousy comes into play. As soon as she arrives, a set of cute and sexy girls approach her in more than friendly ways, and so a number of misunderstandings and lewd scenes unfold.

Don't ask why every girl here has a yuri inclination or why everyone is comfortable with groping; just sit back and enjoy it! Tachibanakan Triangle's plot is just an excuse to showcase girls touching each other or being naked, so having three-minute episodes is not that bad in this case. To be honest with you, this is by no means the best yuri anime you will find, but it's hard to avoid it when you only need 40 minutes to binge it, right?


8. Kuzu no Honkai (Scum's Wish)

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: January 2017 - March 2017

Ok, this is not a yuri anime, but how far would you go to find good yuri ecchi scenes? If you want to know, then you can try watching Kuzu no Honkai, a really good anime with a really hard to swallow plot. Kuzu no Honkai is the story of two heart-broken adolescents faking a relationship just so they can avoid loneliness. The thing is, Hanabi and Mugi are in love with their teachers, who happen to be dating each other.

As now we don't really care about straight couples, let's talk about Hanabi's friend Sanae, a girl who secretly loves her after she saved her from a sex offender. Unlike other options here, what starts as your typical drama anime suddenly transforms into something way more obscure, but not before giving us a lot of yuri ecchi material to enjoy, courtesy of Sanae and Hanabi. Remember, Kuzu no Honkai is not for everyone... but you can always google the yuri ecchi scenes!


7. Yuri Kuma Arashi

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: January 2015 - March 2015

Imagine a world where bears can transform into humans and get along with them. Now, imagine a world where a meteor impact transforms this once pacific bears into killing machines craving for human meat. Well, that's how society lives in this anime, one where humans and bears are only separated by a wall. Yes, this is still a list about yuri ecchi anime!

Ginko and Lulu are two bears who disguise themselves as girls, trying to infiltrate an all-girls school and eat every student they encounter. However, the death of Sumika Izumino unravels a lot of secrets regarding bears, humans, and the mysterious Invisible Storm. With every episode, ecchi scenes between girls become more and more common, and they don't even need a reason to flirt. If you want steamy scenes and a weird story with a few plot twists, try watching Yurikuma Arashi.


6. Netsuzou TRap

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: July 2017 - September 2017

Let's move on to a more recent story, but one where the yuri content comes from an abusive relationship between friends. Aside of the yuri ecchi part, Netsuzou TRap also deals with subverted NTR situations; the problem being that not every person likes netorare, and with ten-minute episodes, there's not much you can do to help the situation.

The main character is Yuma Okazaki, a sweet girl discovering love with her first boyfriend. The other girl involved is Hotaru Mizushina, her childhood friend now turned into an abusive and jealous lover wannabe. As Yuma asks Hotaru for some words of advice in terms of dating, she takes advantage and goes beyond friendship while sabotaging Yuma's relationship. But wait, what if Yuma secretly enjoys kissing and touching Hotaru?


5. Kuttsukiboshi (Stars Intertwined)

  • Episodes: 2
  • Aired: August 2010 - May 2012

If you're looking for something short then your best bet is Kuttsukiboshi, a two-episode OVA with a straight-to-the-point plot. Although this is the story of 2 young lovers discovering themselves, Kuttsukiboshi is also an anime about trust and lust, with a supernatural element in between. The couple here consists of Kiiko Kawakami and Aaya Saitou, a girl with psychic powers and her closest, horny friend.

Even if they have feelings for each other, part of the "love" comes from sharing a secret and the uncertainty of not knowing what would happen if said secret was used as blackmailing material. If you think this is something dark, then please take a look at the second half of the first episode and what happens later on! Sure, there are some plot holes and this story would have been better if explored with more time and calm, but you can always overlook all of that in favor of the sex scenes.


4. Sakura Trick

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: January 2014 - March 2014

Sakura Trick is the tender story of 2 high school friends trying to protect their friendship, and it all started with a kiss. As they got seats apart from each other Haruka was jealous of Yuu as many new potential friends quickly got in the way, and so they kissed to show their fidelity… but nobody would kiss a friend just to prove a point, right? These girls evidently had something going on, and one kiss led to another, and another, and another. What a way to start the high school years!

As we mentioned before, you won't find many lewd scenes here and things never really get as hot as in other recommendations, but Sakura Trick is really good if you like moe things and comedy in your yuri anime. As for the ecchi part, double meaning and sexy camera shots are an integral part of the story. And so is people —especially Yuu's older sister— trying to figure out what's actually going on between the girls!


3. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei!

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 10
  • Aired: July 2014 - September 2014

When you look at the Fate series, sometimes it’s hard to see that it was once a visual novel with a fair share of sexual content. On top of that, Fate/kaleid is a spin-off anime with magical girls and not directly based in a free-for-all war, so a lot of fans were skeptical about it before it aired and thought of it as a Fate anime made for kids. How wrong they were!

In terms of yuri ecchi, the most interesting part is Fate/kaleid's second season, with the introduction of Chloe von Einzbern, also known as Kuro. She's a second personality of Illyasviel von Einzbern, a darker version of her who conveniently drains her magical energy through kissing in order to stay alive. Another magical energy source for her is Illya's friend Miyu, so basically we're talking of a mahou shoujo anime with a girl frequently french kissing her companions. Kids anime, huh?

2. Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: October 2015 - December 2015

They say you can do anything with just the power of love, but Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid takes it to another level. After being abducted, Mamori Tokonome wakes up only to find herself on an island in the middle of nowhere, and 2 girls wearing bikinis come to greet her. Oh, but don't think Mamori is on unexpected vacations! Suddenly, one of these women starts touching the other's breasts, thus transforming her into some kind of heavy machine gun.

If you think that's weird enough, a few seconds later Mirei Shikishima falls from the sky and protects Mamori, kissing her, touching her, and transforming Mamori herself into a sword. From there on, Mamori and Mirei will have to find a way out of Mermaid Island and some answers about the situation, but you can be sure that yuri ecchi scenes are just getting started. Pro tip: there's also an uncensored version!


1. Citrus

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: January 2018 - March 2018

After her father's death and her mother found a new love, Yuzu finds herself moving to a new city and starting life in a new school. Being a popular gyaru, this was the perfect opportunity to cause the best first impression and conquer every boy's heart... if it wasn't because she now attends an all-girls academy with very strict rules. On top of it, her new step-sister is the student council president, and she's not happy with Yuzu's happy-go-lucky attitude.

Citrus tries to be the dramatic story of a lesbian "incestuous" (not blood-related) relationship, full of hot scenes but sometimes adding some comedic relief to soften your heart. While Yuzu is sweet and cute, Mei is harsh and manipulative as she doesn't care about love; for Mei, kissing and teasing her sister is a way of demonstrating who's in charge of the situation, but Yuzu's unexplored feelings may change that sooner or later. You have fanservice, you have relatively developed characters and you have a plot so, as long as yuri anime goes, Citrus is one of the best and most recent options out there.


Final Thoughts

A good yuri ecchi anime is not that easy to find, and the offer generally divides into slice of life anime with cute girls flirting at each other or some random action anime with an excuse to have girls in revealing outfits, touching and kissing like there's no tomorrow. On the other hand, shoujo-ai is slowly gaining ground, and there's a lot of new anime with yuri innuendo but without really showing us girl-on-girl action.

We hope to see you soon browsing Honey's Anime but, before you go, maybe you can help other fellow anime lovers in need. Do you know any cool yuri ecchi anime aside from these 10 recommendations? Several of them are already quite old, that's for sure, but some are still considered jewels of the genre!

Hey! I'm Rod, and when I'm not watching anime or playing video games I'm probably writing about them, but I'm also a graphic and web designer, and I even published a comic book and worked like 4 years for a well-known MMORPG. Curiously, my favorite series are quite different from each other, so I'm still trying to understand what I really like in an anime...

Candy Boy

Yuri, if you ask me, is the purest form of love. Why is that? Well, it’s about two girls falling in love and make out. That is sweet, cute and sometimes hot, and, uh… Let’s save that thought for another time, another topic, shall we?

Though I admit that when you hear the anime has yuri, they usually go for the sappy romance stories, and really they’re not for everyone. There is nothing wrong with these kinds of stories and I do find them interesting when character building is done right, but if I just wanna see shows with plain jane yuri fanservice, there’s a bunch of them. And coincidently I’m gonna list 10 of them here!

Let’s get started!

10. Yuru Yuri (Happy Go Lily)

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: July 2011-September 2011

Yuru Yuri is centered around the daily lives of Akaza Akari and her friends Toshinou Kyouko, Funami Yui, and Yoshikawa Chinatsu. The group of friends form the Amusement Club — a club with activities that consist of basically lazing around and doing random fun activities.

I think this is the third time I mentioned Yuru Yuri in my articles and for good reason because Yuru Yuri is one of the best shows when it comes to yuri fanservice. It is generally tame, but the show has a good amount of adult humor that keeps you asking “how old are these girls again?” There are no gratuitous panty and boob shots, or anything like that, and the jokes usually revolve around Chinatsu obsessing over her crush Yui, Kyouko pulling pervy moves on Chinatsu, Akari’s sister being creepy, Chitose fantasizing, Ayano seeing tacos, etc.


09. Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox (Battle Girls: Time Paradox)

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 13
  • Aired: April 2011-June 2011

Hideo Yoshino is your typical average schoolgirl who one day was transported back in time while praying at a local shrine to help her with her upcoming test. She is sent back to the Sengoku Period when Japan was in constant conflict. During this time, Yoshino met one of the of the three warlords of that time, Oda Nobunaga. However, there is something amiss: Oda Nobunaga and the entire population are all women.

We’ve been here before: Fantasy anime centered around Japan’s Sengoku Period like Samurai Deeper Kyo or Sengoku Basara, and Sengoku Otome is no exception. The unique twist this time is that in this fantasy world, men don’t exist and every figure from Date Masamune to Oda Nobunaga are all female. The yuri fanservice is on the lighter side, but entertaining. Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide getting all jealous and thinking pervy things about Oda Nobunaga offers great laughs. I wonder how the real Oda Nobunaga would react if he saw that his female version is a tall redhead with huge boobs and wears a skimpy and impractical getup.


08. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san (Nyaruko: Crawling With Love!)

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: April 2012-June 2012

Yasaka Mahiro, your average and blandest boy (fact) around was minding his own business until he met a mysterious girl named Nyaruko. This girl is a special agent who was sent to Earth to protect Mahiro from monsters. Why are the monsters after Mahiro? Does he have something that they want? And who is Nyaruko? And is H.P. Lovecraft rolling in his grave after he found out Japan turned his Eldritch horrors into cute and sexy girls?

While technically not a yuri show, it does have a good amount of yuri fanservice thanks to our lovely Eldritch abomination Cthuko aka the lustful and fiery red hair twintails girl… or something. Right. Cthuko is so in love with the main heroine Nyaruko, she goes to great lengths to get to Nyaruko’s undergarments. Cthuko literally jumps at Nyaruko every time Nyaruko does something suggestive like seducing the main hero Yasaka Mahiro. If I were to personify Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Cthuko fits the bill.


07. Kämpfer

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: October 2010-December 2010

If your wish is to become a girl, then Senou Natsuru is one of the luckiest guy on the planet, as he can do just that. Unfortunately for him, there is a consequence to his transformation: He/she is now a Kämpfer, a female warrior with powers who are locked in an eternal struggle to fight other Kämpfer for… some stupid reason. The story is lackluster and it made me feel bad just to write the synopsis...

It’s so bad, it’s good — This sums up Kampfer quite well. The main draw is the yuri fanservice mainly because the characters and their designs are hot, the main villain is also hot and they all want the female Natsuru. The story is just, well, too meh to bother, so if you’re planning to watch this, watch it for the ladies.


06. Kuttsukiboshi (Stars Intertwined)

  • Episodes: 2
  • Aired: August 2010-May 2012

Kawakami Kiiko is a girl with supernatural powers: she can move things with her mind. Kiiko meets an attractive young girl named Saitou Aaya and starts developing feelings towards her. The two eventually get together and while everything’s fine for the both of them, Kiiko will soon discover that Aaya holds a secret that could ruin their relationship.

This is the most unique entry on this list because the entire series was written, directed and animated by one guy named Ishikawa Naoya. It’s very hard to describe the story without spoiling too much, so let’s just say that you can get anything you want through force. Oh and space lesbians.


05. Queen’s Blade

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: April 2009-June 2009

The Queen’s Blade tournament is held every four years to determine the most beautiful and powerful Queen. Enter Leina Vance, the heiress of the Vance Family and next in line for the throne, is seeking the title of Queen. As she travels the land of Gainos, she meets other warriors from various lands also seeking the title.

If you combine all fetishes, personify a few of them, and put them into an anime, the result is Queen’s Blade. There’s a story here and there, but let’s be honest here, you watch it for the huge cast of female characters in very skimpy outfits. Each character is very unique with their very own style and quirks, voiced by popular VAs, so there’s someone for everyone. Who is my favorite? Airi-sama all the way!


04. Seikon no Qwaser (The Qwaser of Stigmata)

  • Episodes: 24
  • Aired: January 2010-June 2010

Oribe Mafuyu and Yamanobe Tomo rescued a wounded boy without realizing what they were getting themselves into. The boy is named Alexander Nikolaevith Hell and he is a Qwaser, a kind of superhuman who can draw the power of elements and use them as powerful weapons, as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The bizarre twist is that the Qwasers require a special kind of liquid to recharge their powers and this liquid is none other than breast milk.

While breastfeeding is the anime’s main fetish and main attraction, the arguably best parts are the antics and homosexual relationship of Ekaterina "Katja" Kurae and her slave Katsuragi Hana. Even though their relationship is in an S&M kind of way, they do feel real affection towards each other. This probably made the breastfeeding scenes involving them an extra punch.


03. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei!

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 10
  • Aired: July 2014-September 2014

A sequel to the anime of the same name, 2wei! takes place right after the first season. The girls are once again called back on active duty when they find out that the Cards have left some very nasty side effects on their world. However, their seemingly easy mission goes totally awry with the appearance of a dark stranger who looks just like Illya.

The overall tone of the anime is pretty gay especially when Chloe, Miyu and Illya are involved. Chloe needs constant magical energy to keep her going and in order for her to do that, she must “extract” the energy by physical contact and the most efficient way is French kissing. Her favorite source of magical energy are none other than her companions Illya and Miyu. There are times when Miyu gets jealous and tells Chloe to get energy from her instead of Illya. Chloe happily obliges, obviously.

02. Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo (Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons)

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]

  • Episodes: 25
  • Aired: October 2014-March 2015

In the far future, Earth has finally reached total peace after humanity obtained the ground breaking information transfer and material generation technology called "Mana." With this power, pollution, famine, and wars have disappeared. However, peace is not really what it seems. The Norma or people who cannot use Mana were cast out of society and live in oppression.

The main character of the story is the first princess of the Misurugi Empire, Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi and is a strong believer that the Norma should not exist in this world and must be exterminated. On her baptismal ceremony after she turned 16, her elder brother Julio exposed Angelise as a Norma. Angelise was exiled to Arzenal, an island in the middle of nowhere and starts her new life as a soldier to risk her life to protect the world that hates her.

More like Cross Ange: Gundam with Lesbians! *ahem* I mean, come on! The show is riddled with Gundam references (notably Gundam SEED) and the show wasn’t shy showing the yuri fanservice goodness. To put it simply, the main character and outcast Angelise Ikaruga "Ange" Misurugi is stuck on an island filled with nothing but women and is forced to fight dragons while wearing impractical skimpy suits for battle. Yeah, I know.

Yuri-kuma-Arashi-capture-Wallpaper-700x394 Top 10 Yuri Ecchi Anime [Updated Best Recommendations]


01. Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid

  • Episodes: 12
  • Aired: October 2015-Ongoing

Tokomome Mamori is a special kind of girl who was transferred to a mysterious island chain in the middle of the ocean in the most unconventional way. The young cast away was suddenly attacked by the island inhabitants, but then was luckily saved by a girl named Shikishima Mirei. As their assailants pressed on with their attack, Mirei suddenly kissed Mamori, and Mamori turns into a sword!

At first glance Valkyrie Drive looks like an Ikkitousen clone and Senran Kagura 2.0, but upon closer inspection, the shows are nothing alike. Unlike Ikkitousen, Valkyrie Drive is fun and not a pain to watch and unlike Senran Kagura, the yuri fanservice in Valkyrie Drive is on constant overdrive. The main fanservice is the fact that the Liberators must sexually arouse their partners, the Exters, to turn into weapons before fighting. The process usually involves near explicit lesbian sex right in front of everyone. And yes, it’s one of those anime that defies classification.

Plus the anime is currently airing and they might pull another bold move that’s, well, bolder the the previous lewdness.

And there you go!


Palabras finales

If I want to give an honorable mention, it’d be Agent Aika. Agent Aika or AIKa holds a special place in my heart as one of the first anime I saw that made me go “WTF” due to its excessive fanservice. To be fair, the fight scenes were very well-animated, but distracting… If you want to know what I mean, go Youtube search “Agent Aika Fight Scene” and click on the first video to see what I mean.

The list you just read is made for one purpose: to titillate, excite and get a few great laughs with a yuri twist. The shows aren’t all totally yuri, but a majority of anime right now have some form of yuri fanservice in them. If I wanted the list to be pure yuri, then I would be forced to list all of the yuri shows from my Top 10 Yuri again and probably add in Ikkitousen: Dragon Desti—ugh, man, that show was awful… *ahem*

What do you think of the list? Please leave a comment below!

I've been an anime fan for as long as I can remember. Actually, anime is very much a part of me now for I have extended my reach beyond just watching them.
