non-harem/no fan service action anime recs?

i recently watched gachiakuta, dandadan, sakamoto days, and kaiju no 8 and really liked them. i was trying to look for other stuff on netflix and no matter what i watched, a bunch of women gathered around the male protagonist and did the whole “kyaaa!” “im gonna marry master!” type crap. i thought tougen anki would be fine but there’s not a single female character that ISNT ridiculously curvy and oversexualized. also thought about the eminence in shadow but i looked at the cover and the ENTIRE group the MC is with is just women. i just want to watch a chill anime with a cool protagonist who goes on adventures beating up different villains, but i can’t find anything like that. ive watched a lot of stuff so there might not even be anything else without harems, but if you guys have any ideas please lmk 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

Not action but try My Home Hero. It’s a good watch.

Katanagatari.

So underrated, such beautiful art, such a great story and incredible twist. And no fan service

The mafia anime "91 Days" is very light if all non-existant for T&A for the women. Then again, there are not a lot of women in the show.

Youjo Senki, Kaiju No. 8, Kingdom, Isekai Suicide Squat, Isekai Shikkaku, Spy x Family, Mob Psycho

Maybe Netflix is the problem.

wormdances2026-01-08 12:42

Why are you even watching anime? Maybe you should pick up a different hobby. Or watch anime for women. But they don't make a lot of action anime for women and even if they do there's not much action going on.

wdym “why do i even watch anime”? do you watch anime so you can see boobs?
