Here are my favorite picks for anime like Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs. Keep in mind the list is in no particular order. Enjoy!
Invaders of the Rokujouma!?
After Koutarou Satomi’s father is suddenly relocated for his job, the first-year high school student is faced with finding a cheap place to live by himself. Naturally, he jumps at the chance to move into Corona House’s Room 106 for a mere five thousand yen a month. But while everything goes well at first, Koutarou soon gets a lot more than he bargained for after stumbling upon a mysterious cave while working his part-time job.
The following night, Koutarou is visited by various seemingly mythical figures, all claiming ownership of the poor student’s apartment. Among the invaders is Sanae Higashihongan, a ghost supposedly haunting the room, magical girl Yurika, alien princess Theiamillis Gre Fortorthe, and Kiriha Kurano, a direct descendant of the Earth People. But more importantly, each of these four girls needs Koutarou’s apartment for her reasons and won’t back down without a fight!
To LOVE-Ru
Timid 16-year-old Rito Yuuki has yet to profess his love to Haruna Sairenji—a classmate and object of his infatuation since junior high. Sadly, his situation becomes even more challenging when a mysterious, stark-naked girl crash-lands right on top of a bathing Rito one night.
To add to the confusion, Rito discovers that the girl, Lala Satalin Deviluke, is the crown princess of an alien empire and has run away from her home. Despite her position as the heiress to the most dominant power in the entire galaxy, Lala is surprisingly more than willing to marry the decidedly average Rito to avoid an unwanted political marriage.
Elegant Yokai Apartment Life
Inaba Yuushi’s parents died in his first year of middle school, and he moved in with his relatives. Though they did care for him, he could tell he was a burden. After he graduated, he happily prepared to move to a high school with a dormitory. Unfortunately, the dormitory burned to the ground before he could move in! Yuushi does not want to live with his grudging relatives, but finding lodging as an orphaned student with little money is rough. He finally finds a room in a nice old building which seems too good to be true.
The catch is that it is a Monster House, where humans and supernatural creatures—ghosts, mononoke, etc.—live together. Another high schooler lives there, a cute girl named Akine, and she is completely unfazed by the monsters. She can even exorcise evil spirits! Yuushi’s high school life got much stranger than he ever bargained for!
Grand Blue

But things do not exactly go according to plan. Upon entering the shop, he encounters a group of rowdy, naked upperclassmen, who immediately coerce him into participating in their alcoholic activities. Though unwilling at first, Iori quickly gives in and becomes the heart and soul of the party. Unfortunately, this earns him the scorn of his cousin, Chisa Kotegawa, who walks in at the wrong time. Undeterred, Iori still vows to realize his ideal college life, but will things go according to plan this time, or will his situation take another dive?
