20 Best Hentai Anime To See
1. To LOVE-Ru Darkness
• Release date: 2008
• No. of Volumes: 18
• Rating: 7.4/10
In the world of hentai animes, the likes of To LOVE-Ru Darkness is definitely a chart-topper. Released in 2008, this Kentaro Yabuki-written anime came with a total of 18 volumes. It dropped from the stables of Xebec studios.
The plot is centered on the inhabitants of Earth and the residents of what was referred to as the planet Develuke. The representatives of Develuke are females from the royal family, while the earth’s inhabitants are represented by Rito Yuki. Both sides had some twisted encounters that continued escalating.
When junior princesses Nana and Momo eventually transferred to Earth School, things were expected to move smoothly for the two as big sister LaLa was to (theoretically) watch over them. In the long run, Momo came in between LaLa and Rito’s relationship with laid-out plans to supplement it with some sisterly love, but LaLa wouldn’t have that.
Sadly, the Golden Darkness, Yami, came onto the scene accompanied by several possessed high school students, appearing with what was described as the subtleness of a supernova. Of course, Rito was at the receiving end of their plots, and his fate all depended on a certain semi-demonic princess to come to the rescue.
The review for To LOVE-Ru Darkness was quite good, as many viewers tagged it as the best anime they ever watched.
2. Yosuga no Sora
• Release date: October 4, 2010
• No. of Volumes: 12 episodes
• Rating: 6.2/10

The plot centers around the Kasugano twins, who were orphaned after their parents got involved in a tragic automobile accident and lost their lives. The devastating incident informed their choice to go back to their childhood home in Okukozome to be with their grandfather and try to reconstruct what remained of their shattered lives.
Though they were alike physically, the two lonely souls were so spiritually divergent and totally ignorant of the challenges these contradictory expectations will uncover in the coming days. Haruka Kasugano, who was uncertain about the future, decided to cling to her memories of their past with the hope of finding the needed strength to protect his ill sister.
As the plot unfolds, it unraveled four different storylines – The first talks about Kazuha Migiwa: rich but kind; the second centered on Akira Amatsume: polite but sad; the third revolved around Nao Yorihime: depressed but hopeful; and the final one was all about the life of Sora Kasugano: petite but fierce.
While many viewers agreed that a lot of Yosuga no Sora was really fun to watch, others were of the opinion that it is not worth the time.

• No. of Volumes: 16
• Rating: 6.6/10
From Lerche Studios comes the Okayado-written hentai anime entitled Everyday Life With Monster Girls. It has different kinds of monsters in weird and strangely erotic situations!

Kimihito attracted girls of different breeds like moths to a flame; this occurred when he was left at a Lamia named Miia as its homestay caretaker by incompetent Agent Smith – the interspecies exchange coordinator. This resulted in a constantly growing harem flush complete with attraction and eroticism.
Unfortunately for Agent Smith and the girls, the Interspecies Exchange Act strictly prohibits any form of interaction between the species except an experimental marriage. This did not stop the affectionate, passionate, and lustful ladies from hounding Kimihito for romantic affection. Needless to say, his life became fraught with sensitive interspecies law and creature-specific caveats.

These ladies fight dressed in skimpy pilot outfits.
