Shows that feel likeHigh School DxD (2012–2018)
If you loved High School DxD, the closest series we have are DreamWorks Dragons (2012), No Game No Life (2014) and Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man (2012). All three share High School DxD's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ranma1/2 (2024).
If High School DxD hit the spot, these will too

Dragon-powered adventure that keeps raising the scale of its battles
The difference: All-ages and earnest — zero romance, zero raunch

Gleeful wish-fulfillment fantasy that revels in its own excess
The difference: Battles of wits instead of fists — and one season with no real ending

Wisecracking teen hero balancing school with escalating super-battles
The difference: Saturday-morning safe — quips stand in for any adult edge

A teen juggling class schedules with a secret supernatural double life
The difference: Squeaky-clean Nickelodeon fare — none of the fanservice or bite

The same two preoccupations: harem, and romance

Big magical brawls, loyal comrades, and a wink of fanservice
The difference: Eight seasons of filler-padded arcs — a far longer commitment

An overpowered student hiding jaw-dropping strength behind normal life
The difference: Sweet and sincere underneath — restraint where DxD goes leering

Irreverent fantasy that treats demons and damnation as punchlines
The difference: Western sitcom rhythms — meandering plot, little action payoff

The same preoccupation in both: superpowers

One thread runs through both: supernatural

Cursed teen, martial-arts chaos, and a suitor pileup played for laughs
The difference: Vintage and chaste by comparison — slapstick over sleaze

Both are built on the same subject: supernatural
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than High School DxD does
