Tons of action and fight scenes in both shows. Basically both characters start out really, really sucky and you get to see them get their asses kicked time and time again. Eventually they become stronger to fight bigger baddies only to get their asses kicked...AGAIN. Power-ups galore.
though the styles are totally different there yet the same
every average anime watcher will find himself in a dilemma on which he should watch.. i suggest both !
there both funny, yet serious but then again... also Cruel and theres drama..
they both got em all :D
It has the same "protect friends" motivation in fights, pumped action ^_^ and inner powers. Bouth are preatty long and are funny at times. Both have fillers but the realy looooong (and crapy) ones belong to Naruto, so don't watch the episodes from aproximatley 150 forth.
Fighting, usage of magic, and great character development. Because of the expanse of different characters, there is bound to be one (or a couple) that instantaneously become your favorite.
Both are anime which have the main protagonist overcoming odds to gain huge power and vanquish evil. Both are epic anime with a lot of in-depth background story and beautiful battles.
The genres are quite alike, and they are universes where fighting is necessary for surivival. Where Naruto is more about emotions and the craft of a fictive universe, Bleach presents more extreme fighting scenes with a stench of Dragon Ball in it. Both are great animes.
both main characters fight for their friends. Both animes are wonderful!!!
When both characters start they suck, but eventially they become better. In both series there is a lot of action, and some humor.
Looking for action, comedy, drama and more action? This is the one for you. Along with a whole bandwagon of great characters to love.
A lot of the same type of action. While Naruto has jutsu, Bleach has weapons with special abilities. The stories are similar and if you enjoyed Nartuo you're probably going to enjoy Bleach
Similar (read great) fighting scenes, similar animation (same animation team).
In every way, these anime mirror one another ranging from factors such as the similar main characters to the concept of a traveling group of cliches. More fundmentally, the storyline takes you nowhere.
Both of these have lots of fighting, with very dramatic and involved plots.
Both has extremely cool fights, supernatural scene's and some funny times in the anime.
Same company, lots of fighting, orange-haired protagonists, fillers, both mainstream shounen.
It has action, adventure, love and even some comedy which is what makes these two anime seem so similar. But there are some differences of course, however the 2 characters kurosaki Ichigo and Naruto have extremely similar personality traits such as their will to protect those around them and their will to survive no matter what!
Both Bleach and Naruto have intence story lines and extreme butt-kicking scenes with large scale
battles and amazing story lines!
Another popular shounen title with lots of action and i bit of echhi
People who like one of these usually like the other too. Both are extremely long and very good at the beginning but get a bit boring after a few hundred similar episodes
There is a couple of similarities such as Powers, Teams, and leaders of groups....but as far as that I think that is all....but if u do like one u will most likely like the other.
It's very similar. They fight for dreams. They're fighting dreamers.
Both are about teenagers with superpowers fighting bad guys. Both are mainstream shonen series.
Both great shounen series.
Both main characters try to be stronger and save their friends. In both anime is a lot of fight and action. And both anime have stupid, boring fillers. ;]
Both have similiar storylines and are both shonens.
Same animation and animation studio, same non existent storyline, same "fight for my friends" motive while getting their asses handed to them, same repeating boredom,and the same fact that NOBODY DIES IN THE SERIES. So if you liked Bleach, I can assure you that you'll like Naruto.
Both main characters are stubborn but are loyal to their friends and would do anything to protect them.
Both are long main stream shounens which are super popular. With loads of training and main chars always protect their friends.
Both series are about an outsider who tries to become stronger to protect his friends. In addition, Naruto, as well as Bleach, feature unique battles with super powers (Jutsus in Naruto and Soul Slayer attacks in Bleach).
Typical shounen animes. Hero with strong powers, will and many friends. Katanas, swords, battles, talking during these battles, evil organization and so on... similar, ne?
its full of fighting and has the funny scince like bleach
Both shonen anime, many funny caracters and a great story. Also a lot of fighting! The opponents get stronger and stronger.
In both - many battles and this is the most important - both are tapeworms :)
if you liked Naruto, then Bleach is definately the next shounen that you should check out!
Both have a main character that gets stronger and stronger as the show moves on. Both have an outstanding cast of support characters. Both are filled with action and all sorts of powers and blend in comedy at the right moments.

They are both very hilarious and full of action moments and both very awesome.
Both are great shounen series with "fight for nakamas" plot, and goals characters have made their mind to accomplish. Also it looks like naruto somewhat resembles Luffy. If you enjoyed Naruto, I'm sure you will find One Piece amazing.
The mood of the series is pretty similar and the goal of the main characters is to be the best in their league. That's what I noticed when I completed Naruto and began with One Piece. If you liked Naruto you might like One Piece even better.
With the main characters wanting to become the best at what they do and wanting to protect those that are precious to them. Wanting to achieve their dreams, they become more powerful and meeting more friends along the way too.
(its pretty similar aside from the famous Naruto filler)
you can find the action piling up in this anime series as it also filled with nothing but action and adventure and many more of the Drama and comedy moments that will surely bring you to tears and laughter....
I really like onepiece because it tells the classic story of the hero archetype, i like the refreshing way in which the story is told and the way the crew overcome obstacles, i would rank naruto and onepiece joint first in my favourite animé due to the hilarious humour and invigorating take on a well known character archetype.
Two people that have their own goals and dreams. The main characters for both show are very similar. They are very clumsy, lazy, and funny, but when it comes down to protecting their friends from danger, they get serious. Both is filled with excitement, action, adventure, comedy, and fantasy.
Shonen anime. About a young hero who wants to become the best. Similar messages about friendship and determination to reach your goals. Characters fight using their super powers to defete evil villians who stand in thier way.
Both have main characters that act pretty dumb/stupid. And both act without thinking and do unexpected things. Also both main characters are willing to risk their lives for their friends.
Shounen, action, adventure manga, both with a main character who wants to fulfill their dreams. Both of them have many special combat elements and a similiar story line as getting new friends, win against enemys, some drama sequence etc.
All in all I find that One Piece stands more out, but give Naruto a try!
In both anime protagonists continue to go on a life with the dream which was defined in their childhood. And which has strongly changed their life. It helps them to meet new friends and as to overcome the difficulties arising on their way.
In both anime the main character has the promise, given to the friend, and as" likes to eat ". xD
In both anime very interesting abilities of heroes, their characters, charisma. And as the important place is borrowed with friendship and fidelity.
At both anime as there is a lot of humour, the cat well dilutes many heavy situations occuring during adventures of characters. So despite of all duration of anime to look them it is a pleasure.

Both of these series follow adolescents. The main characters both follow a set goal where each is trying to prove something to someone. The character development is superb and goes into exquisite detail for everyone. Both series have specific powers or abilities that each character maintains. Action scenes are also extremely intense and well animated.
Instead of becoming a ninja, the energetic protagonist wants to become a Hunter. Similar teams and setups as well as similar action.
Both about a young man on a journey to becoming a hunter/Ninja. Very Similar and both AWESOME!!!
It's a battle/competition type anime, like Naruto, only it's more condensed. A very fun one to watch. Enjoy!
Aside from the stubborn-ness and will-to-succeed-no-matter-what personalities of both lead characters Naruto (Naruto) and Gon (HxH), the display of a wide range of fighting styles using a certain energy-manipulating concept (chakra for Naruto; nen for HxH), the dangerous examinations storyline (Genin/Chuunin exams; Hunter exams), and the search for an important person (Naruto's friend Sasuke; Gon's dad Jin), the quality of humor and adventure in both anime gives the viewer similar highly enjoyable experience :)
Both are Shounen which includes several test's and fights...
A little boy who goes out on a journey while finding friends, fighting against an evil organisation and is an image after his father who is an legend.
I highly recommend this show to any Naruto fan out there. It's funny and has a really good story. The animation is good when you think of how old it is and the music is fitting. Also at some parts it feels like Naruto has adapt some things from this show like the exam and an evil organisation.
Do I even dare to say that HunterxHunter is much better than Naruto? Well, yeah I do.
A shounen with a, in my opinion, little more mature approuch than Naruto, sacrificing a little bit of fighting for a lot more psychology etc.
Also, Naruto has several influenses from this anime as far as i can see.
Both animes start out with the characters taking exams. From there you see what hapens to them during the exams and the harsher realities of the aftermaths.
The series have many things in common. The main character is a boy who has to pass a difficult, often life-threatening exam using jitsu/spiritual energy, and he does it with the help of his friends. There are lots of fights and many episodes are focused on training.

Soul Eater is more like a Naruto-ripoff from BONES, except...why would anyone ripoff from Naruto....?
They both have a light-hearted (and sometimes perverted) sense of humor, same style of drawing, same style of characters.
Both typical action-oriented shounen titles. Plus, Black Star is the splitting image of Naruto!
Both have the same shounen-ness to them and they both deal with characters searching for power
If you see black star and naruto you will find similiar clumsy character.Because they both have the same idiotic that alway's rushing into thing's without thinking first.they also have strong will & dream.That why i recomended this serial because they both funny,and if you like naruto series i confident that You also like this series.Please Enjoyed!
it has that kind of feel you get when you watch naruto. and plus its a great masterpiece.and it has a lot of action.
The art style for Soul Eater actually is rather similar to Naruto's in the fact that it uses rather thick lines and bright, solid colours. Even the tone of the anime is similar, adding light-hearted and funny moments in-between epic action. Soul Eater injects a bit more humour than Naruto, but they both do a good job of relieving tension with humour at the right moments. Both anime focus on building up the quirky characters (which are very lovable and memorable) as they progress further into their world and as they get into more fights. Both stories are essentially following the main characters getting stronger and maturing as they strive towards their ultimate goal.

Generic shounen super-power type anime similar to Naruto.. though Naruto was way better in it's first season
Both are animes where a crowd of heroes fight to save the world from the evil guys. If you ever watched Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach or any anime like these ones, you will find them pretty similar.
It's another typical shonen. Lots of action, friendship is a recurring theme, similar characters and the same type of humour.
Both have a similar storyline, plot, and characters.
The tags and genres are roughly the same, and both series are made up as universes instead of stories. Action, emotional and funny scenes are present in both animes, and you'd definitely get to like some of the characters.
similiar type of male lead characters who have super hidden abilities that surpasses each new enemy they meet. They are rather child-like and bond quickly with people they meet.

This new anime, Nabari no Ou is very similar to Naruto, even some animes don't go that far to have techniques that uses nature so this really have some similarities. The main character seems to have something hidden inside that that is very powerful...
They both use ninja themes on the serie. And there is also lot of action in both of them. And both main characters hold some big power inside of them.
Naruto was born as Jinchuuriki and the main protagonist of Nabari no Ou was born with the hijutsu , that everyone wants ..^^
Both Are SHOUNEN Animes , and both about
Ninja's And are .. Comedy,Action .
Both protagonists have a special ability that makes people chase them. Though most people would say they are completely different, both of the protagonists care deeply for the people around them and hate to see them hurt. Even to the point of giving themselves up to the people chasing them. Though Nabari no Ou is shorter than Naruto they both show that they get stronger to protect themselves and the ones around them. They are both quite similar if you think about it.
Very very similar - main characters have something powerful inside them.
Story is about ninja and their world.
Friendship of Naruto and Gaara is just like Miharu and Yoite

Tsuna is kinda like Naruto in the begining, a loser with no much talent, comedy is playing a big part and friendship too. Later does it became more serious and much more action and both Tsuna and Naruto becomes very strong.
virtual unskilled young male lead...through struggles and training become stronger....long drawn battles which displayed alot of amazing battle strategies.. comarade with friends...both leads are the clowns (butt of jokes)
Hokage Is the Boss.
The main charactar start to be a lonely week drop-out, No-good, but as times flow they start to grow, and become stronger, Naruto Wants to become hokage, while Tsuna which is the main charactar in Reborn, is forced to become the Boss of the strongest mafia, Vongola.
To become a Boss Is like becoming the Hokage, The Boss's responsibility is to protect his "family" and the hokages responsibility is to protect the village.
Comedy is a big part in Naruto, and In Hitman Reborn too,
Katekyo hitman Reborn is very similar to Naruto in some ways. First is the main character. Tsuna and Naruto are both no-good at the start. Then some trainings are similar. Patience, determination and strenght are just a few. Try watching KHR to know more. Trust me, you'll love it! If not, comment me.

Both have a main-character who wants to become the strongest of all by defeating their enemies. Thanks to their friends they will come very far...
And if you want to laugh, this a good one too!
Same type of "leveling-up" occurs for the characters. Kenichi and Naruto are definitely similar in that there's martial arts, and both main characters start off basically sucking. Kenichi is much shorter though, so you'll be able to enjoy a feature filled show without all the fillers.
Both anime about to becoming strong and fighting.

Ninjas! Uber fantastic fights! and i can't believe how much Naruto took some of the names and ideas from this show O_o maybe the same studio? anyway, watch it!
They both include ninjas and tournaments with loads of fight scenes. Both main chars have demons inside them.
Although they are not essentially similar, except for the fact that both anime has something to do with ninjas, I think that if you like Naruto you'll also like this anime. If you're a die-hard ninja fan Flame of Recca is also worth checking out.

As well as Naruto, Fairy Tail is going to be the next big thing in anime. Somehow it gives me the same feeling as I'm watching Naruto. There are a lot of characters, a lot of funny moments, and I'm looking forward to the next episode! So I think that if you like Naruto, you may like Fairy Tail too!
Same atmosphere, fights, funny moments. The art is very same as well.
And ya, Natsu reminds me Naruto greatly, 'cos they are both quite silly, but cute and powerful ^_^
|

Well, it's pretty much the same idea.
You have KI in DBZ, Chakra in Naruto..
Fist fighting, kicking, power controling. Yes, very similar ;)
They are about the same.The guy who writes Naruto gets a lot of his ideas from DBZ

Both "Naruto" and "Ninku" have similar plots and characters.
Their protagonist is a precocious young ninja who is misunderstood and feared by others.
Also, both characters use similar ninja techniques (look at the picture for "Ninku's" entry; that kid definitely has a big 'ol handful of rasengan).
Kishimoto actually cited this as inspiration in his notes section

Fullmetal is somewhat similar to Naruto.
Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric, two brothers, both have the same dream: To get the Philosipher Stone to bring their old bodies back to them after a tragety had happened to their mother, they tried to break the laws of nature and bring her back to life: Edward lost an arm and a leg, and Alphonse lost his whole body. They must become Alchemists for the military and risk their lives for and do whatever it takes to bring their bodies back and repent for their sin, while struggling through heartbreak, near-death experiences, and meeting new friends and foes along the way, as well as losing people precious to them.
Naruto is about hopes, dreams, and goals. Naruto Uzumaki wants to become a hokage, a leader, and have rightful respect for him since the people in the villiage shunned him for having a demon inside him, the Nine-Tailed fox. Sasuke Uchiha wants vengance on his brother, because his brother killed his whole family, and many more events in Naruto.
i think that´s the same type of anime
it´s very similar
|
|
|
The fighting and transforming is very similar. The main character is also a young boy.
|
|
|
both great shounen were a boy trying to get stronger for other sake.
|
|
|
Jing sometimes looks smarter than Naruto, but his adventures are similar to Naruto's. If you like series concerning a young hero defeating (or try to defeat) enemies with comic elements, it's your choice. Without a common plot, Jing is more like Naruto's filler episodes, but that's not a bad thing.
|
|
|
Kishi might has well said hey everyone look what I'm ripping off
|
|
|
they both have people wanting to follow thier dreams and not stoping until they do.
|
|
|
I Recommend this to everyone that likes Hinata (Naruto-->Ai yori Aoshi)
|
|
|
If you like battles, ninjas and shamans you must watch it!
|
|
|
Because both have request 2 do but they also have crushes like Naruto likes Sakura and Sakura like Sasuke and Sasuke likes Sakura 2. And Daisuke has another person inside of him.Dark Mousy.And Nruto has another thing in him.The Nine Tailed Fox.(Yeah.) *shake head*
|
|
|
the same ninjia style combat with each ninjia having his her own style but alot more less mature and fun, more comedy and silly moments, but be aware, its a very very long series which is still going
|
|
|
Well they're both shonen animes about rivalry between two men, err boys. Going further they're both between a rambunctious orphan and a serious orphan. With much more interesting side characters and annoying female support. So if like one you should like the other despite the differences.
|
|
|
A lot of humour, great battles, many many techniques, characters, etc. All these are features from both Animes.
The Protagonist - A smiling guy, dressed on orange/red and blue. Naruto in blond. Goku can be blond.
Both are great Anime with great batlles and many funny moments.
|
|
|
Very similar humour, main character, who cannot concentrate on fight, but who have amazing amount of strength, hand techniques and much more...
|
|
|
Well the charcters on these show are similar. Naruto acts like genta, Sasuke acts like Alvis, Shikamaru acts like jack, and sakura acts like snow as well as hinata.
They act the same by the way they fight, their attitude towards people, and their efforts to others as well as fight.
Naruto is similar to Genta by the way they fight, the fight even if they might not be able to win in the end. The eat alot as well like someone who likes some on else.
Sasuke is like Alvis because of their same atitude towards people. They don't wantto show any weakness toward the one the are rivals with.
Sakura and Hinta re like Snow, because they like some one who either likes them back or dosen't. They are as similar as one can be.
Shikamaru is most like jack because they really don't feel like doing any work at all. Most people would do what they are told but these two are different because they will argue with the person and then end up doing it. They also don't feel like fighting some one stronger than them.
They also have a nighing mother.

Naruto and YGO!DM have similar themes of fighting and friendship, as well as good mix of action and comedy with some romance thrown in. However, Naruto is much more action-orientated, while YGO allows for more strategic battles using the card game "Duel Monsters" (and in some arcs, with real monsters and magic). Both series have well developed plot and characters, and if you're a fan of one you'll most probably like the other too.

A shonen anime about samuria, which are good if you can't get ninjas. An awesome anime that has three story arcs. I revolves around the Mutsu clan who fight using an unarmed style called Mutsu Enmei Ryū. It has some nice battles, although they are more focused on sword play than hand to hand(the other characters are swordsmen).
|
|
|
Both are shonen, but if you've seen DB in your childhood and you're looking for something similiar to it Naruto should do. The difference is that of course Naruto has better animation (well, it was aired almost 20 years after DB). Both have many fights and both are funny.
|
|
|
Both anime have strong male protagonist determined to fulfill his dream. Both of them will encounter many interesting friends and rivals. Their road to success wont be easy but rather filled with sweat, tears and pain.
