Looking for reccomendations similar to Future Diary

I just finished up watching future diary, and to be honest I am such a big fan of those survival game animes where others are tasked with outsmarting and out playing one another. But what I loved most of all was the romance, I'm more used to Romcom's so seeing the super obsessive yandare arctype was honestly a suprising change that I really enjoyed, especially seeing it bloom into something more than just obsessive one sided love to actual passionate mutual love. I'm now desperately searching for another anime that's similar to Future Diary, if anyone can send some good reccomendations my way I'd really appreciate it. And for what it's worth if you have any romance anime reccomendations that go farther than hand holding and not something super dragged and boring send me some of those as well, I'll look at every reccomendation. Thanks!

Fate Stay/Night: Unlimited Blade Works is closest I can think of.

FriggyRS2026-01-23 01:45

Oooh, I keep hearing about the fate series. I'm definitely going to give it watch sometime tonight thanks!

Btooom! is a survival with romance but not a yandere.

Big order is by the same author but the show is ridiculously bad.

FriggyRS2026-01-23 02:09

Heard big order is so bad it's good lol I kinda wanna see it just to see if thats true

Okay, don't shoot the messenger: **Mushoku Tensei**.

Hear me out; You wanted survival? The MC spends a massive chunk of the story surviving the Demon Continent the most feared place on the planet.As a child. It’s pure survival. Grown hardened adventures are eaten alive around him as he completed quests on the Demon Continent.

**Regarding the romance:**

the MC, Rudy, is basically the 'Yuno Gasai' in this scenario. He is intensely, deeply obsessed with his partners, and the show actually lets the romance progress into a passionate, mutual love that goes way past hand-holding. If you slapped a wig on Rudy, he’d be Yuno. It’s high-stakes, the romance actually moves, and it’s never boring.

Now sure the show does have some issues but overall for this vibe I think it nails it, if you swap the PoV.

Don’t worry no shots will be fired because I actually really like Mushoku Tensei! I’ve actually read the manga to about where season 2 covered since I couldn’t wait for season 2 to come out lol. But you did remind me to pick it back up!
