Anime To Watch If You Like Naruto
So, You Devoured Naruto? What's Next?
Finished binging Naruto and feeling that ninja-shaped hole in your heart? Don't worry, you're not alone! The world of anime is vast, and there are plenty of shows that capture that same blend of action, friendship, and laugh-out-loud moments.
For the Love of Underdogs: My Hero Academia
Ever dreamt of having superpowers? My Hero Academia throws you into a world where almost everyone does! Our hero, Izuku Midoriya, is a quirkless kid who dreams of becoming the world's greatest hero, just like his idol, All Might.
What's so heartwarming? It's Izuku's sheer determination. He's constantly pushing himself beyond his limits, and the bond he forms with his classmates at UA High is seriously inspiring. It's like watching Naruto try (and sometimes fail hilariously) to master a new jutsu, but with capes and superpowers!
Must Read
Sibling Bonds & Supernatural Shenanigans: Jujutsu Kaisen
If you enjoyed the dark undercurrents and demon battles in Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen might be your next obsession. High schooler Yuji Itadori swallows a cursed object (a finger, yikes!) to protect his friends, gaining immense power but also becoming the vessel for a powerful curse.
Think of it as Naruto absorbing Kurama's chakra, but way more intense! What's surprisingly fun? The characters are hilarious! Even while battling terrifying curses, they crack jokes and bicker like siblings.
Friendship Above All Else: Fairy Tail
Looking for something lighter and packed with adventure? Dive into the magical world of Fairy Tail! It centers around a guild of wizards, and their adventures as they take on various jobs and fight against dark forces.
This anime is all about the power of friendship! The Fairy Tail guild members are fiercely loyal to each other, always ready to lend a hand (or a spell) when someone's in trouble. And like Naruto's squad, Team 7, they are also total goofballs together.
The Thrill of the Fight: Hunter x Hunter
If you loved the complex fight choreography and tournaments in Naruto, Hunter x Hunter is a must-watch. Gon Freecss leaves his home to become a Hunter, an elite group of individuals with special abilities, in the hopes of finding his father.
What makes it so captivating? The battles are strategic and intense, but what's surprising is how the characters develop. Gon goes from a naive kid to a complex character facing moral dilemmas, and the same can be said for his friend Killua.
Bonus Round: One Piece
Okay, this one's a commitment, but hear me out! One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates as they search for the ultimate treasure. With over 1000 episodes, it's a long journey, but it's packed with incredible world-building, unforgettable characters, and epic battles.
If you loved the sense of adventure and the strong camaraderie in Naruto, you'll find a lot to love in One Piece. Don't let the length intimidate you; think of it as an epic quest with endless possibilities. Like Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage, Luffy's quest to be King of the Pirates is a driving force that keeps you hooked!
So, grab some snacks, settle in, and prepare for your next anime adventure! You might just find your new favorite show and a whole new group of characters to root for.
