4. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts)

Absolute-Duo-dvd-300x376 6 Anime Like Absolute Duo [Recommendations]
  • Episodes: 13
  • Aired: January 2010 – April 2010

The story centers around Akihisa Yoshii, the "baka" of the title, and unlike our other titles in this list where the protagonist pretends to be an idiot, he really is one. He attends Fumizuki Academy, where the staff rigidly divides the students based on the results of their academic scores, and assign benefits based on it. The higher the grade, the better the class and classroom, the better the benefits

The school happens to have developed experiments to summon fantasy creatures, and the anime revolves around Akihisa and the F class as they try to take on the higher-tiered classes and seize their perks an all-out battle for school supremacy. Full of slapstick humour, ecchi, plot twists, more blood spilled than Attack on Titan and a warm overarching theme about true friendship and love, this is one of my favourites in this list.

5. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darouka(Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?)

Absolute-Duo-dvd-300x376 6 Anime Like Absolute Duo [Recommendations]
  • Episodes: 13
  • Aired: April 2015 – June 2015

Widely known for invading the internet with the “blue ribbon underboobs”, Danjon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka –or DanMachi for short– takes place in the city of Orario, a huge labyrinth in the underground. Its strange name attracts excitement, illusions of honor, and hopes of romance with a pretty girl.

In this city of dreams and desires, new adventurer Bell Cranel has his fateful encounter with the tiny Goddess Hestia. A light hearted comedy about a boy striving to become the best adventurer and a lonely goddess searching for followers, both working together to fulfill their goals. With an increasingly heavy plot and a fresh take on friendship and “the meaning of getting stronger”, you tend to forget it’s supposed to be a comedy/ecchi anime.
