Animes on Crunchyroll – Top 10
10. Tsugumomo
- Year: 2017
- Studio: Zero-G
- Episodes: 12
Opening the list of 18+ anime, we have "Tsugumomo." It's the kind of anime that blends action with a touch of fanservice. The story follows Kazuya, a boy who has a headband (which looks more like a regular piece of cloth) that is actually a spiritual object, a tsukumogami , which transforms him into the beautiful and witty Kiriha. At first, you might think it's just another comedy anime with a healthy dose of ecchi, but you soon realize the plot has more layers. The plot mixes intense fight scenes with a good dose of humor and, of course, a good dash of romance.
But the truth is, the show really stands out for the interactions between the characters and, of course, the awkward (and funny) situations Kazuya gets himself into because of Kiriha. If you enjoy this kind of anime with a good dose of action and comedy, but without losing that warm vibe, Tsugumomo is a great choice. You can binge-watch it quickly, and before you know it, you're already laughing at the characters' antics!
09. Manyu Scroll
- Year: 2011
- Studio: Hoods Entertainment
- Episodes: 12
"Manyu Scroll" is the most daring offering and certainly not for everyone. The story follows a warrior named Kagekiyo, who fights to protect a very peculiar secret: a magical scroll that grants her extraordinary abilities. However, the anime isn't just about fighting and mystery. It's packed with fan service, with plenty of sensual moments and very spicy scenes. This could be a draw for those looking for an anime that combines action with more explicit content.
While the main focus is combat and the pursuit of power, the anime also makes room for scenes of sexual tension and more daring elements. This creates a balance between epic fighting moments and more "steamy" situations. So, if you enjoy an anime that blends a touch of samurai history with a touch of provocation, "Manyu Scroll" might be your choice for a more irreverent binge-watch.
08. Shin Ikki Tousen
- Year: 2022
- Studio: Arms
- Episodes: 03
"Shin Ikki Tousen" is a continuation of the famous "Ikki Tousen" series and, like any good anime with that name, it's full of intense battles, but also with a touch of sensuality to make everything even more explosive. The plot revolves around a group of students with combat skills who end up facing each other in epic duels. Each character has a connection to historical battle figures, which gives a touch of respect to Japanese culture, but what really grabs attention here are the moments of pure action and the scenes that explore the characters' hottest sides.
Furthermore, "Shin Ikki Tousen" isn't afraid to put fan service front and center. If you're ready for fierce fight scenes mixed with a dose of blatant sensuality, this anime will please. And if you've already watched "Ikki Tousen," you'll notice that the formula remains the same: action, sensuality, and that frenetic pace that keeps you hooked until the end.
07. The Garden of Sinners
- Year: 2007
- Studio: Ufotable
- Episodes: 01 (Movie)
Now, if you're looking for something darker and with a much more adult vibe, "The Garden of Sinners" (or Kara no Kyōkai ) is an anime that will leave you speechless. With a complex plot full of twists and turns, the series follows Shiki Ryougi, a girl with supernatural abilities that involves mystery, murder, and a lot of psychology. It's not an easy anime to digest, but that's exactly what makes it so fascinating. The visuals are stunning, with breathtaking animation, and the atmosphere is dark and mysterious, as if reality itself were constantly at stake.
What truly defines "The Garden of Sinners" as an R-rated anime is the way it handles violence, complex themes of identity, and even the supernatural, unafraid to show the darker side of life. If you're looking for a more mature and challenging experience, this anime is the right choice. Just be prepared for a journey that demands more attention, but will undoubtedly leave you thinking long after it's over.
06. Recently, My Sister is Unusual
- Year: 2012
- Studio: Project No.9
- Episodes: 12
"Recently, My Sister is Unusual" is one of those animes you probably wouldn't tell your grandmother about, but it will make you laugh and feel awkward at the same time. The story follows a young man who ends up getting involved with his sister in a rather unusual way. After the death of his parents, the protagonist's sister returns from an exchange program and soon begins to display some rather... unusual behavior. The anime blends comedy, ecchi, and a dose of romance, but the main draw here is the unusual situations the characters find themselves in.
If you're looking for something lighthearted yet edgy, "Recently, My Sister is Unusual" might be a good option. It plays with the boundaries of absurdity and morality, but in a way that ends up being funny and even a little captivating. Of course, if you prefer a more serious, less forced plot, this might not be the ideal anime for you, but for those who want a lighthearted and spicy comedy, it's worth giving it a try!

Finally, this one couldn't be left out of the list of R-rated anime. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a young man who becomes half-ghoul after a tragic accident and must learn to navigate his new identity in a world where humans and ghouls are constantly at war.
