Here are the 10 best romance anime with badass MC
These anime series feature badass main characters, so if you’re looking for the best romance anime, you’ve come to the right place. Either way, these anime are sure to keep you hooked and captivated with their compelling stories and heartfelt romances. Here are our top 10 picks.
10. Star Driver
You know, how those dystopian apocalyptic anime always keep throwing monsters at you? Well, this time it’s stone giants, but don’t think Star Driver is that sort of show that’s going to throw some apocalyptic monsters into the mix and then try to craft a story out of it. It also adds a lot of new elements like realms, secret organizations, prophesied battles, and everyone’s favorite mecha.
The story also starts in a very unique way when one boy with a mysterious power is saved by a group that fights these stone giants. Even though the story won’t start with a strong premise, it gets better and better towards the end.
If you’re going for the romance, get ready for the good old romance inside the giant robot anime shows. Star Driver is an action-romance show, so you get plenty of romance and action to satisfy you.
Dubbed – No
Season – 1(25 Ep.)
09. Akiba’s Trip The Animation
This is another anime with apocalyptic monsters. Oh wait, this time it’s vampiric cosplay monsters so you cannot call them apocalyptic. Also, how does our main character plan to defeat them? Well, with a baseball bat. Corner the enemy and hit them with a baseball bat so they can straight up fly to heaven.
But all jokes aside, this anime is like a love letter for all the weebs around the world. You’ve got game references, fan service, manga references, computers fan service, maid cafes, and vampires.
Our main character also transforms into half a vampire midway through and then becomes overpowered, so this belongs to the overpowered main character getting the girl type of list as well.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(13 Ep.)
08. Kurozuka
Here we follow a man named Kuro who is trying to find his lost love and I should mention his lost love is a vampire lady. Also, Kuro is a swordsman who had an affair with this vampire lady and turned half immortal.
Now he wakes in a futuristic world ruled by an army known as the red army and he tries to find his lover amid the chaos. Kurozuka belongs to the dark romance genre because there’s a lot of blood and gore flying around.
It also is one of those anime with samurais who swing around swords, so you can see how our main character is a badass.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
07. Aquarion Logos
First, don’t watch this anime expecting some serious mecha action. There’s definitely some mecha action in here, but there’s also a ton of lighthearted comedy to replace the serious tone of the show. Perhaps this is why this is received with a ton of mixed reviews. The monsters of this show are called the MJBK, which stands for “Menace of Japanese with Biological Kinetic Energy.”
I don’t know who came up with that name, but this anime is about people trying to defeat these MJBK. This is your regular mecha verse monster anime, but this time, the monster is Menace of Japanese with Biological Kinetic Energy.
This is also a kind of sequel to the Aquarion Evol anime, so make sure to watch that one before you approach the show. But if you need some great action, good comedy, awesome romance, and a fierce battle against the MJBK, then this is the show for you.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(26 Ep.)
06. Tsubasa Chronicle
Yeah, it’s that anime with the butterflies or that anime where the girl becomes a butterfly and flies away without any explanation. Tsubasa Chronicle follows a boy named Syaoran who finds her childhood friend, princess Sakura, making an appearance at an excavation site with mysterious wings on her back.
Then the wings disperse into many feathers and disappear. He figures out that she lost her memory because of it. Yup, this is your good old; my memories are gone so who are you the type of story done for the millionth time, but it’s actually good.
Do you know what else is good? The Yuki Kajiura soundtrack. She was the one who did the soundtracks for the Fate Series, so get ready for a bunch of banger soundtracks from this lady.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 2(52 Ep.)
05. Trinity Seven
Here’s an anime where the main character is chad. Are you tired of anime where the main character starts sniveling and shivering when there are too many girls around him? No, not this guy. This guy straight up gets the girl and then brags about it.
Trinity Seven happens in a dystopian world that is destroyed due to the grimoires. Arata, a guy who survives the apocalypse, is recruited by a magical academy where the powerful Trinity Seven is trained. Trinity Seven is a group of seven girls excelling in magic and more powerful than other mages. Trinity Seven involves an overpowered protagonist who isn’t shy to get the girls.
Honestly, seeing a character like this is so refreshing after you keep seeing a ton of romance anime where the guy acts like he has a serious case of Gynophobia.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
04. Hitsugi No Chaika
Hitsugi No Chaika happens in a world that is entering a peaceful state after the eight heroes executed a tyrannical emperor named Arthur Gaz. Our main character is Tooru Acura, who comes across a white-haired wizard named Chaika Trabant as she hires Tooru and his adopted sister Akari to help with her journey to gather the scattered remains of her father to give him a proper burial.
However, when Tooru realizes that Chaika’s father is none other than the late emperor Gaz himself, he must decide between either helping her with her task or upholding the peace that the people desperately fought to obtain all these years.
Unlike other anime in this list, this series isn’t very strong on the romance factor, but the anime ends with the main couple and a relationship so this one counts.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 2(22 Ep.)
03. Devils Line
Time to have a romance anime with the minions of Dracula. Just kidding, this is like Tokyo Ghoul but replaces ghouls with vampires and replaces Tokyo with whoever she is. Here we follow a 22-year-old university student named Tsukasa Taira who learns the existence of vampires when her friend turns out to be a vampire.
While trying to discover more about it, she finds Yuuki Anzai and soon finds herself getting attracted to the boy. On the other hand, Yuuki is an open book always revealing his feelings and embarrassing Tsukasa.
The couple soon develops a forbidden romance, with Yuuki desperately trying not to do what vampires normally do drink blood. Now, this might feel like that anime version of Twilight you badly need, but at least we don’t get Werewolves.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 1(12 Ep.)
02. Aria the Scarlet Ammo
Here’s another anime where your average overpowered guy must survive with the crazy lolly who is also a tsundere. If you’re tired of the overused tsundere lolly trope, then don’t leave. This anime has some great action too.
Our main character Kinji Tooyama was a dropout of this elite academy but after a run-in with an infamous killer caused him to meet Aria Holmes Kanzaki and she realizes his potential as she demands Kinji to become her partner.
Now even though there is a romance tag in this show, it’s way more popular for its over-the-top action. Come on, the main girl of this show is introduced when she lands beside the guy on a parachute and starts shooting him. There is also a sequel for this, but the original series was better than the sequel for me.
Dubbed – Yes
Season – 2(22 Ep.)
01. Record of Grancrest War
The Record of Grancrest War follows a girl named Siluca’s efforts to create balance in the war-torn land of Atlatan with a noble prince named Theo. The girl’s efforts are to unite the world and fight the greater threat, the embodiment of chaos itself.
Even though it sounds like some epic fantasy against the forces of chaos, this anime is actually about starting from zero and conquering everything in the kingdom.
It also involves tons of politics so if that’s your kind of thing then you’ll love this show. The star of the show is Siluca Meletes, a girl who has the brain and can hold the best girl title at the same time.
She is behind all Theo’s victories and the only one who could survive the cunning game of politics. Record of Grancrest War is one of the best romance anime with badass MC, and if you haven’t watched this one then definitely give this one a try.
