Both are Action Shonen that are made by the same studio. Both are about a young boy who wear a headband that is a Orphan that has Demon living inside of him, both main characters have a similar personality and same dream to became the Wizard King/Hokage. The different between the two is Black Clover is more of a comedy and Naruto is more of a Drama, Black Clover also does a way better job with it's Female characters than Naruto.
-Both anime's MCs go from zero to hero slowly but steady
-Both MCs have rivals-friends they want to surpass
-Both male MCs have a similar goal they want to achieve
-Both are underestimated and they surpass the expectations of the others.
Black Clover borrows a lot of elements from Naruto. Both shows are about a talentless but determined kid overcoming his struggles on his journey to the top. The themes of friendship and rivalry are central in both of them.
If you enjoyed Black Clover, you're definitely going to enjoy Naruto.
Rivalry between friends: Sasuke/Yuno and Naruto/Asta
Sasuke/Yuno very good at magic/ninjutsus, has the respect of all village
Naruto/Asta bad at magic/ninjutsus, village doesn't like them/respect them, they don't give up their dreams (become hokage/emperor of magicians), both have a kind of demon inside that gives them power
Both MC have similar characteristic; never give up and uproar a lot. Both mc always think of the others and wanted to be the best of something; Naruto who wanted to be Hokage and Asta who wanted to be a Magic Emperor. Their attribute is alike, demonic attribute which people are afraid of. They are outcast of their society because they do not have things they need to live in their world; Asta with magic, Naruto with his ability. In the beginning their parents are unknown. And their biggest enemies are their own friend. And these enemies have similar character too. Both main heroines seem a little too big-mouthed. Both story grow by making the character to be acknowledged by other people by showing their somewhat of 'abnormal power' , and these acknowledgment will eventually lead them to their goal and defeating their sole enemy. Last but absolutely not least, both are typical shonen anime. read more

-Both of them shout way too much.
-Both are happy-go-lucky.
-Both are super obsessed with their goals.
-Both are got rejected by the girl they like (only at beginning though) Sakura and sister lily.

Etc.
This anime is similar to Black Clover, because both the main characters (Asta in Black Clover) and (Naruto in Naruto), begin at the lowest of the low, but they push themselves all the way to the top and that is ''The Wizard King'' in Black Clover and ''Hokage in Naruto". Both characters also really like screaming XD. They both never give up, were failures in the beginning and have rivals. Both animes also consist rivalry, because Naruto wants to train harder and harder to match up with Sasuke and Asta has a rival named Yuno who also aims to be ''Wizard King''
As well as Naruto, Black Clover is going to be the next big thing in anime. Somehow it gives me the same feeling as I'm watching Naruto.
Studio Pierrot is famously known for their work with the Bleach, Naruto, Boruto and Twin Star Exorcist series’. However, they soon might be known for another new animated production called Black Clover. The series is already being compared to other Shonen franchises such as One Piece and Fairy Tail, despite the series yet to premiere. In addition, the studio has already said that they want and expect Black Clover to be the next Naruto, as the two anime have a similar fan base.

Both anime is basicly about the same thing:
Annoying main character that is good at nothing and wanted to be the ruler.
In Naruto it's the hokage while in Black Clover it's the emperor
The main character on both anime have a "rival" who have a very different level of ability
And last but not least, Both MC posses an evil power
The main character in both anime is weak in the beginning
foolish who want to be the number one
has a rival who is stronger than him and has a cold personality
Both series have similar back ground stories, rivalry, and long term goals overall the series are similar, however both have unique characteristics, with the worlds the characters live in, to different villains types. The music of both series and op/ep fit very well.
Like in Naruto, Black clovers MC is striving to become a important figure and has a emence drive to accomplish their goal.
Both MC has a rival that they want to surpass.
Both are Shounen Jump anime series that share many similar themes regarding story and characters. Some ideas Black Clover borrows from Naruto are done better and vice versa. The first couple of episodes can be rough in Black Clover, but if you can sit through them you'll find an entertaining shounen anime with somewhat likable characters, decent story, and really good action scenes. Also if your a fan of Marilyn Manson like myself you'll enjoy the character of Gordon Agrippa. For me it was totally worth sitting through 170 episodes (excluding filler) just to watch this one character.
Both Main Character started off as a Nuisance to the society, they were pushed away by the people. But both were dearly Loved by their Friends
Both have joined Teams in their occupation.
Naruto and Asta both have started off as almost zero-powered idiots.
Both trained hard to perfect their skills and to gain attention of the society
Naruto wants to be the Hokage and Asta wants to be the Magic King of the Clover Kingdom
Naruto and Asta both have Demons inside them that make them OP
Both have strong Rivals( Naruto has Sasuke, Asta has Yuno)
-Both MCs are from zero to be a hero
-Both MCs are often underestimated
-Both MCs have terrible hidden powers
-Both MCs have a rival (Naruto-sasuke & Asta-Yuno)
-Both MCs have big goals to achieve (Hokage & Magic Emperor)
Surprise, surprise it's an obvious comparison to make.
Both protagonists are as loud as hell, they never give up, they seemingly lack skill, they annoy their peers often, they have something dark within them.
But it's not just that, the world building and supporting characters in both shows are superb, the personal growth both protagonists go through is heart warming, the fight scenes are crazy and memorable.
But most of all, the intros are always banging from both shows.
Sure it seems like a copy cat anime but with magic, but just as was Naruto was great so is Black Clover. The characters designs i love, and their personalities as well. The way they carry everything and care for everyone. The inspirement it places on people in a positive way.
But i personally love Black Clover. Other's have their own opinions. I honostly adore Asta & the fact that he shows so much admiration for others. But it isn't just this character. I don't wan't to spoil too much here, so check the anime out yourself and atleast TRY it. I've been keeping up to date with it and it's episodes and it is great so far and has good comedy and action!read more
The protagonists of these two series both share the goals of becoming the strongest of their worlds whether that is being the Hokage or the Wizard King. The journey they embark on to acquire these roles are similar. Both Asta, the protagonist of Black Clover, and Naruto, the protagonist of Naruto, come from similar backgrounds as both grew up without their parents.
Both series are about a loser (protagonist) and his closest friend/ rival who's talented, strong and the loser (protagonist) gets stronger by training/ collecting fighting experiences throughout the series.
These two animes are very similar in many aspects...
-The protagonist is underestimated but he still very confident and always keep his ideals
-Both main characters change people that are around they (In positive ways)
-Asta and Naruto are very strong and the source of they power isn't something common
-All the characters of these two animes are enjoyable and you could easly choose between then who's gonna be your favorite...
-The genre's of these animes is basically the same...
If you liked one of these animes I'm sure you'll like the other one...
1) both MCs are loud character , having greater power inside
2) fight for their friends, completely idiots
3) Naruto is ninja world where BC is magic world.
Black Clover has it's similarities with Naruto,
They both are misjudged because they are different.
They both want to reach the greater role in society to gain some respect and show everyone that no matter who you are or what abilities you have, you can become a Hokage/Wizard King!
Want to see some action and great history?
Then Black Clover is perfect for you!
It has the same weakest guy becoming the strongest plot as the main story. Naruto strives to become Hokage with competition from Sasuke whereas Asta strives to become the Wizard King with competition from Yuuno.
The mc in both these are very similar. They both want to become leaders, they both have some dark powers within them, they both were powerless in the beginning. But Black Clover is still enjoyable because their are many different elements in it despite being so similar to Naruto.
Both shows, naruto and black clover, share a very similar plot. Both of these shows are also battle shonen in the purest sense of battle shonen. While they may seem like copays to some people, I believe that both shows just use a lot of the same shonen tropes, however there is something to be said about the main characters. Both characters are looked down upon in someway by a large group of people, both have a huge amount if power inside of them, and both characters goals are basically the same just with a different title, and a slightly different job description.
They are both shounen anime, with a regular kid no one thought would do anything becoming a strong, fierce protagonist.
I would even go so far as to say Black Clover was highly inspired by Naruto.
Both main characters have ambitions to become a leader.
Give up words isn't in mind of this both main characters.
Both main characters have creatures inside on their body and this creatures giving power for them.
For me this anime was giving same hype like when i watch Naruto at the first time.
Both are fatherless childs and both are annoying but both have great anime/manga.
Both animes have a lot of similarities like being born and being laughed at, taking an exam, joining a team, training to overcome a person,...
I believe that whoever liked Black Clover will love Naruto.
Similarities:
Both Naruto and Black Clover are very similar story-wise and character-wise
Both anime's Main Characters go from having nothing (very weak) but is steady
Both MCs has rival friends who compete against them to get better
Both MCs have similar goals such as becoming the Wizard King or a Hokage
Both are underestimated and they surpass their limits which surprises their friends
Both Naruto and Black Clover are basically the same anime, aslo made by the same studio. Both are about a young boy that is a Orphan that starts off weak but gets stronger over time, both main characters have the same loud personality and same dream to became the Wizard King(Asta) and (Naruto)Hokage.
Both animes have the same type of protagonist. Cheerful who wants to help everyone and so on. The story is also super similar. One wants to become Hokage and the other Mage King, both with a rival who is his best friend. Black Clover is the Naruto of the mages.
They both have characters striving to achieve their goal, and not giving up. Asta wants to become the wizard king, but he has no magic, so he gets bullied a lot. Naruto wants to be the hokage, but he gets bullied because he's the host of the nine tailed fox. So if you like to see characters never give up to achieve their goal, then take this recommendation.
As well as Naruto, Black Clover is going to be the next big thing in anime. Somehow it gives me the same feeling as I'm watching Naruto.

Sort of like magi Naruto. kid is weak and strong suddenly gets a power up, hears that his power up is very rare etc.
But Black clover isnt just a Naruto rip-off, the characters are mostly well written and have a lot of personality.
Def worth a watch if u enjoy shonen.
Naruto is very similar to black clover in quite a few ways. We got a main character with exact same goal: to reach the top. Despite all the hatred Naruto has received in his childhood for carrying the 9-tailed-fox inside him, he aspire to become the "Hokage", which is the sole protector of the country or even the world. Aste on the other hand in Black Clover aspire to become the "Wizard King" who is the sole proctector of the country Clover Kingdom. Asta has like Naruto received a lot of hatred in his childhood as well, as have got bullied for not being able to cast magic. Two very similar shows, but with different story lines. read more
Both have very similar overarching stories with the main characters wanting to become a certain thing. Naruto wants to be Hokage and Asta wants to become Wizard King. Of course the things that happen in the shows are quite different but both have the same feel to them.
Both boys wiv headbands wiv a dream who also get doubted by people around him, personalities aren't too different, both got peak masters/trainers and friends to help them wiv their journey, both main characters also have a rival who they constantly compare themselves with to improve
oh and they both have demons inside of them
Characters and plot concept are very similar without making the series feel unoriginal. Enjoyable throughout both series, even through filler, as there are distinct goals set for the MCs to accomplish by each conclusion.
Both are battle-shounen anime, so they are very similar. The main characters in these two shows are also strikingly similar: a spiked-haired MC, a girl, and a cool guy. Unlike Naruto, Black Clover has a rocky start, but it improves over time... even better than Naruto in my opinion. The mc is also similar, not only in appearance but also in personality. They both want to get stronger. Naruto aspires to be a Hokage, while Asta aspires to be the Wizard King.
Both protagonists scream and have an annoying voice for part of the series - They are both shunned by everyone around them and work hard to achieve their goals, narutos being to become the hokage and astas to become the wizard king
Both anime revolve around boys who want to become the head of their village/kingdom. Also both the main characters are somehow related to demons/devils.
These two are basically the same anime but good in each their own way. They are 2 completely different worlds, but yet seem so familiar. There's almost a fight scene in every episode, so its packed with amazing fights and good animation. If you like Naruto you will 100% enjoy Black Clover
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.
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....
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you can replace Pirates with Ninjas and vice versa, Naruto and One Piece are a lot alike with the exception of art. Naruto=Luffy (Both pretty slow and oblivious to a lot of things, but pretty badass at fighting and can be brilliant in combat), Hokage=Pirate King (Both main characters strive to be the best in the world and their dream is often looked down upon or acknowledged by various people). Both series are very humorous, deal with characteristics of friendship/teamwork and have intense fighting.
These are both huge battle anime, where the main characters both have a huge goal, Luffy wants to find One Piece and become the Pirate King, and Naruto wants to become the best Hokage ever. Also, at the beginning of the series, Naruto and Luffy are very alike, causing mischief as they go along. Even though Luffy hasn't changed that much over all these years, Naruto has matured way more and has become more serious, now that the series is nearing it's climax.
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.read more
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!
Luffy is very similiar to Naruto. They´re both really childish characters with the biggest dream in mind.
Even though they act like an idiot most of the time (not a bad thing), when their friends are in danger they give all they have to save them.
There is in both an ero-dude. And there are people who were villains but eventually become nakama.
Both are awsome shounen series,has pretty much the same premise.The idiot main character then gets serious when it's needed,comedy,action,and characters you just hate to not love -__-.One Piece is not very story driven at all but is very enjoyable,while Naruto has a developing plot after the first 13 or so episode.If you liked anyone of these check out the other you'll love it.
Both protagonists have an ultimate similar goal they want to achieve. Fighting lots of enemies along the way and many great adventures. Humor and action are prominent in both series. If you like one you'll like the other.
Both have a main character that gets stronger throughout the story. Both main characters are sort of idiots. Both main characters fight to protect their comrades. There is a lot of comedy, and the fighting scenes revolve around honor and doing the right thing.
One piece is about pirates, and Naruto is about ninjas. They are both extremely long running, and they are both "gateway" anime. If you love one, then you typically will love the other one in my experience.
Both are unique in a lot of ways, and both are heavily inspired by Dragon Ball.
First of all, I started to watch both anime because of their first endings. Naruto ending is incredibly true&sad at the same time, even if - at the first sight - the story doeasn't look very smart it's deeper then you think - just watch first two seasons! One Piece first ending I also liked because of the song (it's catchy).
On the other hand it's easier to start watching One piece than Naruto, because like I said before, Naruto's story at the beginning looks pretty dumb. Much dumber than One Piece's ;D
BUT I like both these anime :) (much more Naruto <3)
•both are a shounen series,
•both main protagonists are a knuckleheaded, never give up, i will conquer my goal/dream type of person
•both males as the anime progresses through each episode, collect new friends and enemies along the way towards their goal they must achieve to be the best
•both have the never give up attitude with their super natural powers, to help good and conquer evil and be the best in the world
•there dreams as kids help them progress further to be more braver/stronger/protect friends
•they are a similar in a child sense yet mature way of portraying it, with the adventure and action.
Both series are long running (lots of episodes) series that center around action and fighting. The main characters are very good and the stories are very profound. Both characters don't have their parents with them anymore. They want to become stronger . The reason i just can't stop watching these series is because you can see the characters become stronger and stronger episode after episode.
Kind of common sense really.Along with a few other anime Naruto and One piece would be considered 2 of the 5 kings of long running anime. And by long running i mean 100 or so episodes. Anyway both anime are very similar in characters however luffy is strong but stubborn however Naruto acts dumb but when in tough situations he is quite the tactician. I'm one of those people who never really liked anime's such as death note. So yeah, it should be easy to fall in love with both anime. I will sow this however, both anime have a story which i would consider unique and leave others in the dust. Naruto may seem boring to others however it's watchable in my opinion. Where as one piece is always a laugh.read more
Both series involve a young character with one big dream; Naruto: to become a hokage and Luffy: to become pirate king. Both characters are also not taken seriously and doubted at first regardless of how much potential they have.
Both animes have a wonderful cast of characters and part of the big three (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach). They're both long running shonens capable of telling a great story, although it might be a bit slow at first.
Both are awesome, inspiring, looooooooong Shounen anime series that I think every Anime fan should watch (or at least start XD) at some point in their lives. ^3^
Both main characters are very active and hyper, giving the same tone to both.
Both stories revolve around one boy putting up a goal and trying to achieve along the course of the story.
Both are apart of the Big 3 and long running shonen battle anime.
The fights are really intense but
naruto as more dialogue in the story.
Both protagonists have the same energy. However, Naruto is young all the way through and there will be training arcs and tournament arcs galore, if you're into that. The early 2000s vibes are also very nostalgic.
•Both main characters in the series (Luffy from One Piece and Naruto from Naruto) share many similarities.
They also have the catch phrase where they want to be the best.
(ex. Luffy says, "He'll be the Pirate King" while Naruto says, "He'll be the Hokage"...
•The main characters have the "never give up attitude."
•Similar genres (action, comedy, fantasy, etc.)
•Both are long series.
Both Mcs have pretty similar goals, and set out on a grand journey to achieve said goals, on their way they make lots of friends, suffer losses, and fight in epic battles.
Both of these Anime have characters who have goals to be top of their game. One wants to be Hokage and other King of the Pirates.
Both meet people and become friends with them and go on many different adventures around the lands or seas.
Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.
both stories are full of heroes, heroines, villains with superhuman physical abilities, ridiculous training, fictional races and creatures, supernatural powers, and something like "chi". Both stories have a strong male lead as center character of the whole stories. Naruto and Luffy. you can see extraordinary battles that involve from fistfight to melee combat. from conjuring destructive elements to manipulating nature.
I really like these two shows because they have accompanied my childhood. Something similar for this anime is the main character's motivation. They have big dreams for their lives. also they are very committed to protecting their friends from harm. In addition, the plot formulas for both are the same. Then, some characters have similar strenghts.
Both anime about a boy who want to achieve his dream
Both anime has amazing drama
Both anime are shounen
Both anime has a main character who loves eating
Also One piece and naruto are masterpiece👌🏻
well, one piece is very similar to naruto (lmao no) they are both shonen animes. but one piece is wayyy better. it might be a bit longer, yes, but they watching experience is more satisfying.
i think the only aspect where naruto is better than one piece is that naruto+naruto shippuden have better songs.
In both series, the protagonist is trying to become something. In Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto wants to become Hokage while in One Piece, Monkey D Luffy wants to become the Pirate King. Both series are very long, the character development is good, while the plot is more better and more enjoyable for One Piece.
Both are long animes, so if you watched Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, you won't care about watching too many episodes of One Piece. I firstly watched Naruto and thought I wouldn't find something similar or even better, then, I started One Piece and i saw it's even better than Naruto. Both are my favourite animes now.
If you love shounen characters that love being absolutely ridiculous and yet strangely likable, Naruto is another classic you could start watching today with plenty of content! A horrific beast, named the Nine-Tails, is sealed inside the body of a young boy named Naruto. His ambitions to be a great ninja, and even the Hokage of his village, will not waver despite how much he's looked down upon. Much like Luffy, he's loud, ridiculous, and he never gives up.
If you are looking for fighting anime with good story development, good character development, and to get you laughing this is it. Both Naruto and One piece have this in common. But in my opinion, One piece suppresses Naruto in character and story development by a lot. In the end, they are both godly when it comes to fighting.
Don't be a pussy and say 'oh it's too long get your ass on One piece cuz it's going to be your favorite anime.
Both follow their titular protagonist to achieve a certain goal, in Naruto's case to become Hokage, and in Luffy's, King of the Pirates. As being part of the big three both should be recommended to new anime watchers.
Both series are long running (lots of episodes) series that center around action and fighting. The main characters are very good and the stories are very profound. The powers of the different characters will surprise you every time you get to see a new one. The main characters power never seem repetative and you will always want to see the next episode right away due the high level of suspense throughout the series.
A lot of the time when one is explaining a popular shonen servers, one hears the word "generic" but when explaining these two anime, the word to use is "exciting". HxH and Naruto are about young boys who start their journey to complete a goal of becoming something: Naruto wants to be Hokage and Gon wants to become a great Hunter. Both anime have many different characters which are unique and memorable. Both have many arcs that tie into a meta narrative. If you are looking for a fun action/adventure anime, then these two are a good choice.
both animes take place in alternative worlds filled with adventure and thrill. hunter x hunter (2011 version) is a great anime however if you like naruto only for their battles you may want to reconsider because hunter x hunter tend to focus more on the adventurous and thrill aspect of the story instead of the action of the battles (there is a great deal of fighting in it don't get me wrong! just not as much as naruto)
I'm not very good with words, but the Chunin Exams were very similar to the Hunter Exam. Also, Gon acts similar to Naruto, and if Kurapika and Killua were one person they would be a lot like Sasuke. They have their differences, but Naruto may have been inspired by Hunter x Hunter in ways.
Both shows are action,shounen series. Naruto at the beginning(19 episode) starts with the chunnin exam whereas hunter x hunter has the Hunter exam. The fighting system of both anime are similar, naruto is based on chakra and hunter x hunter is based on "Nen" which is aura. One of the protagonists in naruto(sasuke) has similar story to one of the hunter x hunter (kurapica). I don't want to imply anything but the manga of hunter x hunter came in 1999 so make your own assumptions.
This is another fun shonen with likable characters and a good story. However, the filler may be a problem for some and Naruto's voice can get annoying in the dub.
They've got a similar feeling to them, especially if you're comparing Pre-Shippuden Naruto to Hunter X Hunter. Both are good series about a young boy growing into a bad ass and it's clear that a lot of different parts of Naruto were inspired by HxH.
Both are about young boys who have dreams of becoming great, Gon (Hunter) and Naruto (Hokage). Both also have epic fight scenes and are considered shounen.
Both of these anime have similar story arc progression with a lasting quality that makes you involved with the characters. Each anime has it's own originality that I enjoyed since I didn't know what to expect next. Both of these are funny and left me smiling on more than one occasion although there are punctuations of very serious character and plot development that made me want more. Over all very good shows and you shouldn't hesitate to watch them for a full length experience.
-Exams
-Young boy on a journey
-Shounen
-Red eyes
-Revenge
-Themes very similar
-Dense and happy main character
-Main character/ no parents (well...with him...)
-Tournaments
-Main character both have spikey hair?! XD
Both are based on manga that were created around the same period and published by Shounen Jump. Both have a main protagonist who has no parents and never surrenders. They follow the main protagonist as he makes several friends, from which, one who comes from a notorious family and one who seeks vengeance for the murder of his clan. The first part of the anime follow these protagonist as they take a certain exam (Chuunin exams / Hunter exams). They also have similar villains: a shady criminal organization, and a pale man who takes an interest in the main characters and switches factions often.
Both series starts off with a early exam in Hunter x Hunter's case it's Hunter exam and in Naruto's case it's chunin exam. Both are anime's with much fight's but there's also a huge difference between the fighting styles Hunter x Hunter's fights focuses more on tactics than Naruto's fights which is usually just a normal fight. Both are long running action shounen. Both episodes have over 100 episodes. If you have not watched either of these series then you should start with Hunter x Hunter because in my opinion Hunter x Hunter is a much better anime.
-Both MCs have a goal in which they have to take some sort of test (Hunter Exam/Chunin Exam)
-Both have diverse types of characters
-Both have excellent fighting/action scenes
-Both have an organized crime group (Phantom Troupe/Akatsuki)
-Both are shounen
If you like shounen with cool action scenes, you'll like both.
-Both feature young children as the main characters
-Both have a tryhard protagonist
-Both have virtually limitless 'power' possibilities (Nen and Ninjutsu) that fall into 5 or 6 classes
-Both have lots of character development
Gon and Naruto are both very happy characters, believing in their friends and such, and their best friend is the darker type. Both story-lines can become quite serious and emotional, and the chakra part is similar too. If you like an optimistic main character both are perfect (as is One Piece).
Two long-running shonen series with incredibly uplifting, irreverent protagonists, a big broad world where you have to pass an exam to be recognized as a worthy practitioner of martial arts, and anime magic in the form of chakra/Nen.
Very similar type of series.
Follows a very similar story structure and gives off the same type vibes and feel. Naruto is heavily inspired by Hunter X Hunter and the authors of the two are close ad admire each other.
Masashi Kishimoto openly admits he was heavily influenced by Hunter x Hunter in creating Naruto
Both anime have characters with abilities (Nen/Chakra) .
Both main characters want to become very strong and have a goal they are trying to reach
Both anime have humor, lots of action, concentrated on friendship and scenes that touch people emotionally
The main characters are kids. They want to become stronger and has a specific goals to attain. They have powers to yet be discovered to learn and master.
Who likes shounen animes will love both. Hunter X hunter and Naruto are long stories about children and teenagers trying to improve their powers to became true heroes in their worlds. The friendship is the main theme of these stories.
There is both main character progress with his friends. the journey is the part you enjoy than the ending mission. there are both great characters ( there is no person as cool as Killua, tho). There are both great enemies: if you are someone who respects Meruem, then you might find a rival like that in Naruto, too.
The protagonists of this anime are really similar, and their goals have some similarities as well. They are of the genre shounen, and employ quite the classic "protagonism". The two animes are very extensive, containing more than 100 episodes.
Fans of Naruto will LOVE hunter x hunter. For one, the author of naruto was inspired by hunter x hunter and you can see many similarities as you watch the series, for example the chuunin exams closely resemble the hunter examination from hxh, akatsuki is loosely based from the phantom troupe and so on. A must watch.
- many episodes
- same genre (fighting shounen)
- MC who is still a child
- MC with a big dream
- MC with a best friend
---> sometimes associated with problems
The creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, was inspired by Hunter x Hunter to make his beloved franchise. So there are a LOT of similarities. The Scarlet Eyes and Sharingan(both significant to the story); Gon and Naruto(although they are pretty different overall) share the attribute of determination and have a deep fascination for their father; Kurapika is similar to Sasuke(or maybe I’m just reading too much into the eye thing). Akatsuki is like the Phantom Troupe, there are those villains like Hisoka and Orochimaru that make you question their and your sexuality. There are Chunin Exams in Naruto and there is the Hunter Exam in HxH. Both anime have a great OST, great openings/endings, great art and great action. The main thing is: they’re both amazing anime. Check ‘em out.read more
They are both from the Shounen genre which mean you get your typical young male character with insane powers or untapped limitless potential. The main characters from both anime have similar ages and though the plot might differ, there are a lot of similarities like how exams must be taken in order to reach a higher rank in both anime and the assignment of individual missions according to rank.
There are a lot more similarities not hinted here but watching Hunter x Hunter is definitely worth it especially if you are looking for the same thrill you got if you've watched Naruto.
I personally loved the Hunter x Hunter due to the diversity of it's setting. There are a lot of places in the Hunter x Hunter universe that not even the Hunters themselves can enter without repercussions. This leaves room for unknown threats and enemies, encouraging intense battles and major character growth which further increases the appeal of the anime.
If you've watched Naruto then there's no need for me to explain anything as even the first 5 episodes of Naruto will show you how intense it is. Though the animation might seem subpar by today's standards, which is no surprise because the anime came out way back in 2003, it is definitely worth the watch due to it's incredible character developments and their individual backstories which are actually relatable.read more
They are both popular shonen everybody has to see. There are a lot of cool fights and the protagonists (yes plural) are really interesting. The anime gets darker and more serious from episode 20 (or sth) on, but starts really light hearted. All the antagonists are good and some of them are even my favorite of all time. Overall I think if you liked naruto and the whole fighting and training aspect of it you will most likely also enjoy hunter x hunter. The power system of HxH is considered one of the best in shonen and is also kind of similar to chakra.
Both are adventure anime with similar themes explored throughout. Both have an exam arc, and characters such as Hisoka/Orochimaru and Kurapika/Sasuke are very similar. Hunter x Hunter is my personal favorite anime, and if you really enjoy Naruto you should give it a try, plus there are only 2 filler recap episodes and that's it.
There's a lot of similarities you can find in these two anime!
-Shōnen
-Have an exam entrance and similar studies for Shinobi / Hunter
-The stories begin with an orphan who became a Shinobi/Hunter, make friends in the way and accomplish quest.
- Chakra and Nen are very similar. They are basically energy in yourself that you need to learn to control and there's different Chakra and Nen type.
-And more
- Naruto and Hunter x Hunter, both are Action-Adventure, long running anime series.
- They are both battle-shounen anime.
- The power system in both of them are very much similar to each other.
- Both of them have good characters, story and world building.
- The story arcs are also somewhat similar in both of them.
Both are shonen that feature a young boy going on an adventure with similar world building, character stereotypes and build up to action. Both anime can be seen as taking inspiration from the other and to all Naruto fans I recommend Hunter x Hunter and vice versa.
Both are excellent shounens and both start off with a similar fashion that is an exam arc. The chunin exams are superior in that case but overall in my opinion Hunter X Hunter is a way better series. Ranging from the excellent protagonists and even better antagonists. This show has everything you expect from a shounen. Hunter X Hunter has EXCELLENT and when I say excellent I MEAN IT antagonists. Ranging from the bloody excellent Hisoka and the even better Chrollo. The best thing about the show is that the writing of the antagonist makes them antagonistic but does not make them "EVIL" which is brilliant. The show also has the best power system I have ever seen in an anime. Yes it is better than stands of JoJo in my opinion. Nen is complex but its so beautifully written and the fact that it has such a high range makes it amazing. Tbh im not gonna talk more. Just watch the series. I can guarantee you will enjoy it :) read more
Ok so let me just say this i had to pick a show that this show is similar to but i dont actually thing this show is like any other show. this is my favorite anime and i have too much to say about it that i dont want to overwhelm you so ill keep it very simple. just watch it and thank me later. id even watch it with you, its amazing
-The abilities in both animes are explained and work in a similar way (chakra and nen)
-The protagonists have a similar personality.
-Both protagonists are governed by an immense desire to achieve their goal.
-In the plot, the friends and allies of both protagonists take a strong part in helping them to achieve their goal.
Both Naruto and Hunter x Hunter are established anime that have redefined the shounen genre for generations to come. Both consist of numerous arcs that set up the story for their protagonists and others around them in a gruesome but satisfying way.
Fighting 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.
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 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 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. ;]
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 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?
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.
These anime are just the same type. Main characters just do all their best to save the world)) an alternative reality, special supernatural abilities, interesting fights... Both anime contain all these aspects. Of course these series are really childish and rather simple, but it can help you to give a rest to your brain! So, enjoy)))
Both are long-running action packed TV series, with extremely similar main characters. Both Ichigo and Naruto, besides having orange/yellow hair, are not-to-bright extremely strong brute force fighters who both have next-to-no techniques besides from they're signature moves, but who prevail through sheer willpower and strength. One involves swords, the other ninjas :)
Both anime tells about one guy who wants to be the best and protect everyone. They start from level zero and raises to high level with training. There are awesome fights all the time and are both funny too.
Both are shounen and involve quite alot of violence. There is not much of a romance in it although naruto may be a bit more emotional than bleach. They both start out with a guy that is inexperienced, but as the story progresses they improve dramatically
Both series provide you with similar characters, who start off as newbies and as they make friends, enemies and fight their ways through, they realize they have amazing potential and learn what friendship really means! In both Bleach and Naruto, you'll harness action till you drop!
Naruto derives from the same plot outline as Bleach, in which Naurto starts out as a weak ninja and as the story progresses, he gets stronger and fight tougher enemies.
Both series are long running (lots of episodes) series that center around action and fighting. The main characters are very good and the stories are very profound. The main characters both start of as inexperienced but very stubborn and determined to become the best. Gradually they learn what the toll is of the world they live in while they become stronger.
Both main characters have powers and a strong willed mind. They never give up and fight mainly for the sake of their friends (I've just described the shounen genre). Both develop their powers throughout the anime as they keep training and fighting. One as a substitute shinigami and the other one as a ninja. The cast of Bleach is older than Naruto's but the target audience is not very different so if you've watched one and are looking for something with the same feel to it, give the other a go.
Let's start by comparing the story, both have similar shounen elements of that fighting spirit; Bleach = spiritual energy and Naruto = chakra. The Story's main protagonist seeks to become stronger after each encounter to protect their families (although in the beginning Naruto's motive is to not be seen as an outcast) The development of the protagonist is conveyed in a simple formula of finding that inner strength to overcome their opponent (speaking which both suffer inner demons to which they must also struggle against and control to unleash their full potential), however this simple formula is made entertaining by the interactions with a long list of supporting characters and the choreography of the fight scenes.
The OST is probably the most outstanding feature of both Naruto and Bleach. They both evoke this primal instinct to fight and be poised for a fight (also evident through their extensive training regimes). It's heart pounding and raises the tension/excitement factor to set the scene for some epic shounen battles. The fight/battle scenes are generally dragged out to showcase both the parties moves and special abilities but also act as its foundation to the plot. (i.e. introducing new abilities, developing new abilities or creating plot points)
The animation is solid throughout both shows, especially considering both shows' length. It certainly will not be a deterrent. However, one point to note is the amount of fillers may be an issue for a lot of viewers, to overcome this issue, I recommend seeking some great filler guides on the internet to watch the show in its canon form especially if the filler is not to your liking. read more
No doubt, with some strong power comes a huge responsability, the characters will face huge difficults and because a huge plot you will have to choose wich one is your favourite
They both follow a main character who starts off as almost useless but each character gets stronger as time goes on. They each have a group of friends whose powers stem from same source of power. Both main characters have different forms that increase their power but at the price where they have to fight for control. And at some point one of the main villians becomes immortal.
The main characters of both shows, Ichigo and Naruto, are quite similar in terms of personality. They are both brash, energetic and have a tough exterior, although they have a kind heart. Both shows have the main character train to become stronger and protect his friends. Overall, these anime have similar art and animation, a lot of action and similar comedy, a large cast of characters, a similar plot and an overall similar vibe.
The two main characters, ( Naruto and Ichigo) both have sad back stories, giving them the will to help others especially their friends. They both start off as very weak and steadily surpasses their superiors one by one until everybody notices and relies on them.
If you like watching shounen anime where you follow the protagonist and watch them grow throughout the anime you'll probably enjoy both series. Both protagonists grow stronger as they constantly fight tougher opponents and learn to control their unstable powers. Both series also have impressive fight scenes, Bleach with swords and Naruto with hand-to-hand combat and using special techniques called "ninjutsu".
Being a shonem anime, this is the best recommendation I can make at the moment. An anime whose protagonist develops as he sees his weaknesses, recognizes them and fights as if that were all... In Ichigo's words: "I don't fight thinking I'm going to win, I fight BECAUSE I HAVE to win!!"
The anime brings together everything that Shonem Naruto gives us in a different world (soul reapers), comedy, action, emotion, dedication and overcoming! I believe that all Otakus must already know the anime Bleach, but this is a recommendation for beginners...
<portuguese>Em se tratando de um anime shonen, essa é a melhor recomendação que posso fazer no momento. Um animes cujo o protagonista vai se desenvolvendo a medida que vê suas fraquezas, reconhece elas e luta como se isso fosse tudo... Nas palavras de Ichigo: "Não luto achando que vou vencer, luto PORQUE TENHO que vencer!!"
O anime reúne tudo que o Shonen Naruto nos proporciona em um mundo diferente (ceifeiros de almas), comédia, ação, emoção, dedicação e superação! Acredito que todos os Otakus já devem conhecer o anime Bleach, porém essa é uma recomendação para os iniciantes...</portuguese>read more
Long-running shounen manga that share similar themes like friendship, self-sacrifice, and achieving one's best. They both have a lot of battles and likable characters.
Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.
In both series the main characters have some demons and they both start through intensive training to become stronger, and they go through many adventures with their friends to become stronger or to help each other.
Bleach and Naruto both start off with the main protagonist being powerless nobodies, who lost important people in their lives out of their control. But overtime, they gain the help of their friends, and become much stronger. They become very powerful, and discover they had insane power just sitting inside them all this time.
Tho these anime have some complications between them...... Naruto and ichigo both are overpowered and lack a parent XD. Fight between ichigo vs Naruto does not make sense. Naruto's plot and bleach's plot are north and south . But both are long and a masterpiece.
Bleach is part of what people call the Big 3 - alongside 'Naruto', so obviously, you've to give it a watch and also it's final arc is getting adapted this October!!
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 ^_^
Both are shounen with heroes who are a bit slow. In Fairy Tail, Natsu is a bit more competent, but both he and Naruto serve as comic relief at times. Both Natsu and Naruto also have a strong loyalty to their friends. Both characters were also have a small sense of being cast aside because of something that happened in their pasts.
Friendship, loyalty and a mix of love is w00t these two animes have in common.
Not to mention they all have a huge variety of characters, all with differrent kewl techniques and powers. Both shows also finds a good way of mixing humor at the right time, but still manages to keep up a good suspense when needed.
Also, the three main characters have huuuge resemblances.
Both talk a lot about friendship as being important, the action is also similar. Naruto is more dramatic than fairy tail though, but fairy tail makes up for this by being hilarious XD. Both are also must sees in the anime world no matter what genre you're into, to be honest if you watch anime you probably know what Naruto is anyway lol, but still Fairy Tail, in my opinion is equally as awesome!
Both anime have similar characters, natsu ... naruto , gray ... sasuke ,lucy ... sakura , and similar powers like earth,wind,wather,lighting and fire magic (jutsu) , for example natsu use fire magic like sasuke use fire jutsu , erza use weapons like swords and throw them like ninja throw there kunai and so on.if you like fairy tail then you certainly you will like naruto.
They way the headcharaters act is smiliar even though Naruto has a hard time fitting in and Natsu is looking for his "master". But they both tries to be the best in wath they do.
Both have amazing characters, with both knowing the pain of losing people important to them (Naruto & Natsu). They both are hot headed and never back down from a challenge. It contains a lot of battles and awesome quotes and characters and you really should watch the both of them!
The way they portray friend relation ships and the character personalities are similar. They are both action and cute comedy shows, which can turn into tear jerkers...
Both main characters are hot-heads and impatients.
Even female main character is same as other.
You will not regret watching this!
Adventure + Shounen + Comedy = Fairy Tail & Naruto
The cast is very similar in that they also find a way to win and never give up.
Both series are set in a similar environment (Guild Hall/Hidden Leaf Village)
Both series have the main characters going on missions to earn money and make the village/guild stronger.
They both end up having fights with the others Guilds/Villages
Both series are very good and I highly recommend watching one if you like the other. You definitely wont be disappointed.
Hot-headed, fiercely protective, always wanting to throw down in a battle of skill... Remind you of someone? Naruto Uzumaki? But also, Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail.
Both characters are in search of something.
For Naruto it's a place in the village, for Natsu, it's his adoptive father the dragon, Igneel.
I believe that both animes are quite alike and with similar supporting characters (Sakura from Naruto and Lucy from Fairy tail), although the story isn't alike, both are about taking risks for friends and protecting the ones you love, while fighting for what is right.
They both have a balance of action, suspense and comedy while maintaining a good plot. Both also showcase each character with their own background which influences their actions.
Both are shounen anime that focus mostly on humor and action, as they follow a group of main characters who go on quests trying to fulfill their missions. Both have many similar elements, such as fighting techniques and power-ups, fighting tournaments etc. Both have the same vibe and atmosphere.
Characters have special magical abilities.
People divided into groups (For example- Fairy Tail: the Fairy Tail guild. Naruto: the hidden leaf village.)
Some groups are good and some groups are bad.
Focus's on one particular group who fight evil.
Naruto and Natsu have similar personalities.
The groups split into smaller teams to go on missions.
Fairy Tail was without a doubt a more interesting and character/relationship building anime than Naruto. I feel that Naruto gets repetitive and there's too many filler episodes, whereas in Fairy Tail every episode is exciting and you start to feel attachment towards characters. Fairy Tail brings out more emotions in the viewer than Naruto would and the Fairy Tail music is much better than Naruto's music, however the sound track for both anime are great.read more
both share a lead set of main chartcers that form a team to compete mission around the land
friary tail do this buy using magic and shear will power usual causing a lot of destruction Naruto dose this buy using ninjujitsu and genjujitsu with the willpower playing a key role
Not only is Fairy Tale on its way to being one of the biggest anime series compared to Naruto, both series share the same atmosphere, fight scenes, and comedic moments. The similarity between magic and Ninjitsu in both series are also quite similar.
Taking place in an imaginary world where the Earth is inhabited by magic guilds, with each possessing their own significant abilities. One guild stands out the most as the most menacing, reputing guild in the land for completing tasks set forth before them.
Which is why a young girl named Lucy wants to join them, because they're the best at what they do and she feels she can develop very well into a mage.read more
Both long shows which are easy to binge, there's a coherent plot with fillers and there's a dumb main character that gets stronger by almost being defeated. They save the world a couple times and the power of friendship pulls them trough
Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.
both stories are full of heroes, heroines, villains with superhuman physical abilities, ridiculous training, fictional races and creatures, supernatural powers, and something like "chi". you can see extraordinary battles that involve from fistfight to melee combat. from conjuring destructive elements to manipulating nature.
The main protagonist from each series Naruto (Naruto) and Midoriya (BnHA) share a weakling persona in the world that they live in. They also share a dream reaching the top of their respective societies (Hokage for Naruto and #1 Hero for Mirdoriy). Each protagonist is also paired with a much more gifted and talented rival. The setting are very different but both series revolve around students gaining the proper training, experience, and licensing needed to become a professional in their respective worlds (Ninjas in Naruto and Heroes in BnHA). Aside from the main characters the rest of the casts for both series are immense full of likeable unique characters with divers personalities, designs, and abilities. This is not limited to the heroes in either series as they both have wonderful antagonist who are also likeable and unique. read more
These both are underdog tales of sorts, MC's who were losers and struggled in the past but gave it their all and became the strongest of their time. They both have super powered characters and battles. They are both JUMP series and shonen battle anime.
- MC are very similar; the usual "I can do it" belief. Both aspire to reach their ultimate goal with the same mentality, that are similar to one another.
- It's the usual shounen story with a nice twist to it; heroes in BNH and ninjas in Naruto
- Many consider BNH to be the next Naruto
If you enjoyed Naruto, or miss It, Boku No Hero Academia will definitely fill the void. Bones have done an incredible job and the story is executed extremely well. Must watch.
Story about teenagers who are being trained in a school dedicated to cultivate people with special abilities by teachers who also possess such special abilities. Those special abilities are usually diverse with most of the characters weilding a disctinct style of abilities. After fighting with other students to prove their strenghte. they then go on to beat up some bad guys, at start usually under the teacher's supervision.
Both shows focus on younger kids that have various abilities, who battle each other and go to a school to train these abilities. The style of the characterization is pretty similar along with the structure of the story.
The art is somewhat different, but both are bright and colorful and evoke a similarly exciting feeling from the viewer.
This is a recommendation made based on how the MC resemble each other, and to some extent, lead how the story is going to progress. Both series featured a young boy who is shunned and looked down by society, and thus driving them to proved those stigma wrong by becoming 'the best'. It's an intriguing coming-of-age-type stories that will make you rooted for the MC in order to reach their dream.
Both MC's are weak, had a rough past and didn't had support of parents.
Both MC's want to be strong and help others
Both have a little comedy, lots of action, scenes that should touch viewers emotionally
In these two series, it’s needless to say that we get to watch the main character grow in more ways than one. While the main character in Naruto is a delinquent, and the one in My Hero Academia is a timid and polite boy, similarly they only wish for the best for the people around them. If you like a story about characters who start off with nothing and prove to everyone else that they can be something, then you’ll most likely like these.
This is a common recommendation, and for a reason:
-The protagonists have that 'If I try hard, I can do it!' personality
-They both involve diverse special powers
-Both are shonen series
-Both have rivals that the protagonist strives to overcome
This is the modern version of what the best of shounen has to offer. The way that Hero Acedemia paces the action, plot development, fights, and character interactions are all top notch.
In both series the protagonist starts as someone who is seen as weak by others and vows to become the strongest to show everyone that with hard work he can do it too. Both series have great fight scenes with characters using special abilities in them. If you enjoy watching shounen anime where the main character grows throughout the show you should like both of the series.
Weak but ambitious main character on his way to reach the top and proving himself to the ones who doubted and wronged him. The main focus lies on his journey to power up, finding friends and rivalry.
(Action, Fantasy, Superpower, Shounen, Comedy)
- The loser one
- the better one
- the loser one tried hard to keep up the better one
- the loser one and the better one fight each other
these two anime have the same way of characters
Great character designs , colorful color palette , a distinct and diverse huge pool of characters , tactical battles , A school setting. It takes what made the Original Naruto series so popular and tries to recreates that magic in a Superhero genre.
deku and naruto are hopeless losers that seem weak and dumb, but they have a big spirit and receive a grand power to strike down evil and change the view of others towards them, also tournament arc and rivalry between main characters is there, they are also very palpable to the mainstream audience
Both of the main characters strive to become recognised in their own rights
Both anime have characters with quirks or abilities .
Both anime have humor, lots of action, concentrated on friendship and scenes that touch people emotionally
- Great fights
- Similar story and main character (the mc starts weak and gets stronger as he learns how to use his powers)
- Same goal to become the strongest hero/ninja
- Evil organazitaions (Akatsuki/League of villains)
Both animes show a weak protagonist that aims to become a strong person. The two animes have amazing side characters such as Kakashi and All Might in Naruto and Boku no Hero, respectively.
Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.
both main characters aim to be the best in their world, and they both have a rival.
both bnha and naruto follow the main character becoming stronger and stronger experiencing fights and strong villains.
both anime have epic fights, comedy and of course painful moments.
Both shows have a vast array of characters. They follow the story of someone going from zero to hero. Also, they both include superpowers/special abilities type things within the meta of the show.
If you loved watching my hero academia then there is a likely chance you are gonna love Naruto as well. Both the shows belong to the same genre and in both the shows the MC is somewhat powerless at the beginning. But the character development is great in both the shows and both the protagonist have a strong sense of justice and has a goal that they wanted to achieve.
Like the atmosphere is like very similar like there is school for shinobi in naruto there is a school for heros here. Deku is like Naruto who starts off weak and later grows stronger as the anime progresses. Like Naruto there are interesting classmates and side characters with well written back stories.
Both obviously seem very different however Naruto and Deku seem to be more similar because of their drives and especially with the side characters and villains seem so similar to Naruto
Well... Boku no Hero is basically Naruto but instead of ninjas we have heroes.
- The classic shounen with 'If I try hard and don't give up I can do this' protagonists.
- In both there are several well-built characters whose anime pays attention to them without focusing entirely on the protagonist.
- Awesome battles with strategies and powers. (And a exciting action music lol)
- A ''school'' where the characters train and study to be a ninja/hero.
- Both series tries to make you laugh, cry and get upset. (And usually they can)
- And best of all, both are awesome anime.
A red-haired protagonist, with an evil being inside him, who grants him more power and tries to overcome his consciousness. So this protagonist fights with bad guys/curses. There's an ongoing bromance and rivalry with a cool dark-haired guy, and a senior white-haired guy with face covered by mask (but the masks are in reverse). And many charismatic supporting characters.
Hello kakashi sensei
little shift in theme but overall it all feels like same people.
maybe naruto more about growing
and juju is about getting in phase with epic battles without watching tons of fillers.
Both about OP orange haired main characters who hold a powerful dark entity sealed within them. This dark entity will often come out to aid in battle making the MC even more brokenly OP.
Both masterpiece JUMP series.
-Both focus on a quartet of main characters, with three students and one teacher
-Both protagonists have an extremely powerful demon inside of them that grants them adequate fighting power from the start
-Both see students with unique powers as the primary cast, and have a skirmish with an opposing school early on in the story to demonstrate relative power levels
-Both focus on a similar format, where the heroes will go on a mission, perform their duty and then return to home base, potentially being promoted. In both, missions contribute a little to the overarching story, usually in the form of a villain appearance.
~Itadori is like Naruto, both are jinchuriki holding a demon inside
~Fushiguro resembles and acts like sasuke, is Itadori friend and rival in a sense
~Kugisaki resembles and acts like sakura, but kugisaki isn;t useless like sakura
~Gojou is like Kakashi, cool and powerful and is like a teacher/senpai to the trio
Basically it's Naruto but instead of ninjas it's demons and curses.
- Both feature a similar quartet of main characters which I will mention below:
- Yuuji and Naruto are both naive protagonists with a strong drive to succeed, both possess a dark
demon inside of them that grants them immense power
- Megumi and Sasuke are both dark-haired guys with a cool exterior, they have a fiery friendship/rivalry with the protagonist
- Nobara and Sakura are short-tempered girls, they are especially irritated by the protagonists' antics, although I think Nobara is a much more competent character compared to Sakura
- Gojo and Kakashi are seniors who play the role of the teacher for the trio, they both have a relaxing and nonchalant front which hides their true, more powerful nature, both are grey/white-haired, both wear a black mask on their faceread more
The personalities of the 3 protagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen literally mirrors the trio from Naruto. The design of the MCs from Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be based off of Naruto too with the teacher Gojou resembling Kakashi especially.
Jujutsu Kaisenreminds me of Naruto in many ways. In the protagonist Itadori, Yuuji lives the strongest demon in the universe, Sukuna like in naruto kyuubi. teacher Gojou very reminds me of Kakashi they are gray-haired. kakashi reveals sharingan in battles and Gojou opens both eyes. I think if you are fans of Naruto you will definitely like Jujutsu Kaisen.
Both feature incredible powers used in dynamic and interesting fights, beautiful animation which is/was ahead of it's time, and both have Kakashi-sensei.
I think jujutsu can be considered the seinen cousin of naruto with obvious character parallels & similar sources for its magic system (咒术-忍术；jujutsu-ninjutsu). Also more likable characters & less filler too IMO.
Do you like Naruto? Well you’d love Jujutsu Kaisen then. Each show has the same premise and character relationships. Gojo is like Kakashi, Itadori like Naruto, and so on. Plus the idea of some type of monster being associated with the main character like that is in both of these shows. They are amazingly well written, and they succeed in giving you just happiness. I fully recommend it because they are alike enough, to give you the same feeling of excitement, happiness, and just pure joy when watching it.
Both have a spiky haired doofus with a good heart for an MC on a quest to fight evil with some kind of monster living inside him. There's a rivalry with a cool dark-haired guy in each, and each teacher is a super powerful white-haired guy. The girl Nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen may not be in love with anyone like Sakura was, but they're totally sharing the "I like to be looking cute but love kicking butt" vibe.
both have a main "trio" of friends, in both jjk/naruto this is 2 boys and 1 girl along with a male sensei who guides them and is quite strong yet carefree. both are well regarded shonen series with good action and plot and both incorporate a good amount of comedy in between. both mc's have a power sealed inside them, in jjk its a curse called sukuna, in naruto its a nine tailed fox, kurama
Both are Shonen-type, action-packed series. Has protagonist mysterious background before it was revealed in the very later episodes. Though there are some notable differences, both are still worth watching. With a hot OG white-haired sensei's that covered parts of their face, and iconic trio. One is a ninja set on the earlier times, and the other deals with sorcerers on modern times.
A red-haired protagonist, with an evil being inside him (like nine tales), who grants him more power and tries to overcome his consciousness. So this protagonist fights with bad guys/curses. There's an ongoing bromance and rivalry with a cool dark-haired guy (Sasuke), and a senior white-haired guy with face covered by mask(Kakashi).Comes in a highschool to
to become a jujutu and meets a girl that completes the team seven. The red-haired protagonist learns how the cursed energy (Chakra) works and learns how an attack that gathers cursed energy in hands and has a late impact (Rassengan).
Jujutsu Kaisen has a similar cast of characters to Naruto. Jujutsu Kaisen's main charcters are Gojo, Itadori, Fushiguro, and Kasumi. For example, Fushiguro has similar traits to Naruto's, Sasuke. Both characters have black hair, good at what they're doing, and they speak less than other chacters around them. Jujutsu Kaisen also have similarities in its plot. I won't go into much detail in the show's plot, but both shows kinda follows the Shounen fomula. Though Both of the protagonists has a monster or a strong being in their body. To sum it up, if you seen Naruto, watch Jujutsu Kaisen next.
Well main similarity is is the characters. now just like naruto theres a protaganist whos not the strongest in the group. he's fun and all. that is yuji in jjk and naruto in naruto lol. then we got the useless female main character. in naruto its sakura ofc and in jjk nobara. now nobara is not useless but she is the least powerful and is very weak. then we got the cool and badass male main character. in naruto its sasuke and in jjk its megumi. both of them r very cool and powerful. then we have the cool sensei. in naruto its kakashi and in jjk its gojo. read more
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
Imagine a world where kids have to take on the jobs of adults. Such a world is the world of Hunter x Hunter as well as the world of Naruto, yet neither series does anything to sugar coat what goes on. Death is completely a possibility for these young adventures no mater the job they take on, but they also never once think of giving up, the main character that is.
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.
if you like Naruto than you should know that more than half the stuff in it was already taken from hunter x hunter. the most obvious is the fact that a clan of "red-eyed" people were slaughtered because of their red-eyes. thee's also the fact that there's a survivor that's bent on getting revenge and will do anything to succeed. remind you of someone?....
other than that "idea"
both main characters grew up without their parents.
both their dad's are great people.
both "act" rather than "think"
they both have a 4 main character squad (team 7 with kakashi, and than Gon's team)
both have an exam at the beginning.
both have an antagonist group that's bent on destroying the world or something related (akatsuki = the spiders) and the "red-eyes" want to find this group.
both have some sort of chakra/ki/energy related stuff that they learn
both have shounen battles and tournaments.
both have something ridiculous with them (Naruto wearing a bright orange jumpsuit while he's a ninja, and Gon fighting with a fishing rod) yet somehow their able to work with it.read more
the main male characters are the xcept that in naruto the guy's more idoitic and hyper but both guys are hardworking and never give up. they both also talk bout clans and enemy clan. oh and in both one guy has red eyes. i recomend this if you liked h x h
In the same way that HxH was deeply inspired by Dragonball, Naruto is deeply inspired by HxH. For one, both series make their money from their attachable characters and bright outdoor style. Second, many plot element from Naruto are almost simply ripped off HxH (chuunin exam and hunter exam, chakra abilities taken from a nen ability - the puppeteer for instance).
However, just as HxH was more serious than DB, dropping a lot of the humour for more daunting psychological trauma, Naruto pushes that further to the point of sounding emo at time. Yet, overall, it remains light.
Both Hunter x Hunter and Naruto experience the same events and similar writing, Its very clear theat Naruto is similar to Hunter X hunter with shonen style fighting,charactors , abilities ,and saga's
Both are based on manga that were created around the same period and published by Shounen Jump. Both have a main protagonist who has no parents and never surrenders. They follow the main protagonist as he makes several friends, from which, one who comes from a notorious family and one who seeks vengeance for the murder of his clan. The first part of the anime follow these protagonist as they take a certain exam (Chuunin exams / Hunter exams). They also have similar villains: a shady criminal organization (Phantom Troupe / Akatsuki), and a pale man who takes an interest in the main characters and switches factions often (Hisoka / Orochimaru).read more
Masashi Kishimoto openly admits he was heavily influenced by Hunter x Hunter in creating Naruto
Both anime have characters with abilities (Nen/Chakra) .
Both main characters want to become very strong and have a goal they are trying to reach
Both anime have humor, lots of action, concentrated on friendship and scenes that touch people emotionally
Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.
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...
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
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.
The series - though different - share a common interest with one another and that is ninjas. Ninjas with a goal to protect the ones they care about, and all in goal to stop an enemy from taking over the world or reconstructing it to their liking.
Both Nabari no Ou and Naruto hold some strong similarities in that, but also hold strong differences with each other. But a series that both should be tried.
Both series tell about a ninja world. Nabari no Ou tells about the current world and Naruto has its own ninja world. In both anime, there is a guy who has the power to change the world and other people are trying to use it. Both of them want to protect their friends and the world. They are both very good anime with action, drama, comedy, and more.
They both share the concept "Ninja" as well as similar characters. **SPOILER** Ramei Shimizu from Nabari no Ou swears to kill her brother who massacred the whole clan, just like Sasuke from Naruto.
Nabari no Ou is extremely similar to Naruto, one of the on;y differences is that it's not unnecessarily drawn out.
Nabari no Ou, and Naruto both have
1) A character that is emotionless on the outside, but the main character wants to save them
2) A fox spirit targeting the main character
3) A character who's older brother murdered the rest of their family
4) A doting sensei, who will do anything to protect his students
5) Ninja
6) Hidden shinobi villages
7) A scroll that the characters at one point or another, aspire to get
And much more! I apologize, it's been about 4 years since I've seen Nabari no Ou, I just remember loving it, and it's characters, but it also hitting me hard in the Naruto feels.read more
Both series are about ninjas, ninja clans, and a special main character with an unstoppable, unknown power which lies within. Although Naruto is, without a doubt, much more popular, maybe a change of pace like this more underappreciated ninja show could be for your tastes.
When I watched this anime, it immediately reminded me of Naruto. Mainly because of the MC having something sealed inside him & the characters being ninjas, although in Nabari no Ou ninjas live, dress and work like normal people. What made me recommend this is the similarity of the situation & past of the samurai siblings. It's reminded me of what happened to the Uchiha clan & brothers. In Nabari no Ou though, the circumstances are more forgiving & reconciliation was less complicated. There is also the element of solitude in both animes that allowed the two main characters to form a special bond.
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!
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.read more
Naruto relates to the character Black Star in Soul Eater very much(as mentioned by others)--the difference is that Black Star is much cooler(IMO).
Both animes have a similar relation with the characters being mediocre at first and eventually grow stronger. Soul Eater however is fairly more organized in episodes and actually has an ending(also, it didn't exceed over 100 episodes!).
There's lots of your humour and action just like Naruto too.
Some of the characters resembles each other like...
Black star and Naruto who thinks they're better than everyone else
Death the kid and Sasuke who are bad asses
maka and sakura who feels the need to be stronger
When watching Soul Eater i instantly thought "this is like naruto only a bit cooler" Both have characters coming out of a school where they are trained to fight at young ages and get put into dangerous situations leading to fighting some sort of ultimate evil.
There are a lot of resemblances between the two. Some of the main characters are like main characters from Naruto. Me and my friend joke around and try to assign a Soul Eater character to a Naruto character. So far we have matched Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Kabuto, Orchimaru, and the Mizukage.
1. In Soul Eater, they have powerful wavelengths and they try to control it. Same as Naruto, they have strong Chakra and they have to control it.
2. Both anime have groups of 3: Maka, Death the Kid and Black star. And Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke.
3. Naruto and Black☆Star both love attention.
Soul eater is very similar to Naruto as it about groups of young people who fight. It might not be long and it might have shallower plot but it's better made with nicer sense of humour and not that long. Extreme similarities can be seen on some charachters such as Naruto and Star.
Soul Eater and Naruto are very similar because they both contain great comedy and fight scenes. When I first started watching Soul Eater, the first person that reminded me of Naruto was Black Star. They're both loud and obnoxious, but do care about their comrades intensely. Black Star also reminds me of Sasuke because they have similar back stories. Then there's Maka, who reminded me of Sakura because of their kind and caring personalities and also their tendency to punch/chop people that annoy them. There are so many other people who remind me of the characters from Naruto, but if I listed them I would probably spoil it for you.
Then there's also the comedy that made me crack up constantly. There were also some pretty heartfelt scenes and sad back stories but they weren't as sad as the ones from Naruto. Even though there aren't any couples, you will probably end up shipping a lot of the characters.
So, if you enjoyed Naruto or Naruto Shippuuden and you think there are too many episodes or you don't want to put up with lots of filler episodes, then I recommend that you watch Soul Eater!read more
the similar are the charaters personalitys
i would have to say that Naruto and Rin are alike they are some person who likes to help others, and let them understand peoples feelings, Naruto and Rin know when people are being hurt or know that when they need someone, they know that they have to be the one to be there. Like Naruto helping Gaara, Naruto new that Gaara was like him, and the same thing went as Rin wanted to stop Ryuji making the same mistake as what he did to his own father. Everyone didn't like them, everyone knew that he had a demon in side of Naruto, and everyone called Rin a demon because he act like one.
But i also think that Rin is like Gaara too, because people keeps calling them a demon. And that Father Fujimoto is like Naruto too because he understand Rin and Rin knows that he under stand him.
so i would say that it's equal to equal to each character
Naruto is like Rin and Fujimoto
and Rin is like Naruto and Gaara

Things that made Ao No Exorcist "the same" as Naruto:
- There a students that is styding on a school for becoming something
- They are on missions outside and need to survive without the teacher (tho, that episode was very exciting!)
- They can make animals and things come and help them only by saying special formula or something.
- They can bite their fingers and use their blood to make the things they get from the formula to be stronger.
- The story start's also about a boy that is borned demon and got a horrible childhood.
- The demon boy also lose his control over his demon powers, but ends with mastering it in the end.
- The boys was also found outside alone when they were babies and somebody took them home. (I'm not going to say anything more about that, because that is a very interesting story!)
- The demon boy is also in a class where he is fighting with another boy and taking about who is best etc..
- There is a old/young/good looking lady that got big boobs in both of the series.....
- The mine teacher in both series are acting the same to the mine character (Rin and Naruto)
- They both get flames when they using their power, only that the colour is different.
Now I can't think of anything more, but yea...read more
Both main characters have been born with powers from Evil that they will have to master in order to save the World from destruction and avoid their friends to get hurt by that same power.
Both protagonists are loud mouth idiots that are shunned by their peers because they're cursed with awesome and they both strive to become the best despite their stupidity and naivety.
They have the same protagonists who have a darker side which they initially hated but later on accepted. Both try to show others that what they really are is not the ONLY thing that defines them.
Both are centered around a boy who learns that he is gifted with immense demonic powers, and must find a way to control them in order to protect the people he loves.
Now switching the ninja world to a world with two sides, Ao no Exorcist is another anime that will remind you of Naruto because the main characters are so much alike. Rin Okumura is the illegitimate son of Satan. He was created to be a suitable vessel for Satan, so he can travel and conquer the human world. Demons can only travel between the two worlds as long as they can possess anything that exists within it. Rin, on the other hand, does not want to be associated with the demon lord and decides to become an exorcist to fight and protect their own world.
Naruto and Rin both share the quality of a helpful main character. They both feel like it is their obligation to save others away from harm, despite being born differently and being treated as trash by others. Also, they both have inner demons which they will try to learn to control over time. The concept of studying in a school and going on missions is also very familiar, just like with the Naruto series. If you are looking for a Naruto-ish character set on a much darker themed anime, you will surely enjoy Ao no Exorcist.read more
It is truly fascinating that how much in common Naruto, and Blue Exorcist has.
Both main characters from the shows (Naruto, and Rin) are motivated to become someone who can save the world by their parents. Therefore they would study at a special school where they would eventually graduate and follow the path of justice.
The characters are born with powers that are not what normal people would have, but rather on the more evil side. However, they use this power for good purposes.
Both have an inner beast inside them
Both anime's have similar story telling
Both protagonists friends/people were scared of them beacuse of their beasts inside them
Both anime's use magic
Similar protagonists
Both MCs have a hidden power within them that they cannot control. They both are also unpredictable and willing to do whatever it takes to help a friend.
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.
Influences by Dragon Ball? Of course. Naruto though, attempts to take the original style and change it up ever so subtly into a new style that is a nice balance between the not so realistic style of Dragon ball and the super realistic styles of other series, not that either of those styles are bad. Naruto also takes the element of wacky adventures and implements it a manner which is also in between the two types of story telling. There are also a lot of bright colors for both series.

Both are based on manga published by Shounen Jump. They both tell the adventures of a young kid, who has no parents and comes from a remote village, as he makes new friends and fights against strong enemies. Also, both anime show the main character train in order to become stronger and also participate in battle tournaments.
Naruto and Dragon are both highly recognized shounen anime. Dragon Ball shows the life of Goku as a child where he trains to get stronger, just as Naruto does in this series. Each of them are great prequels to serve as a stepping stone towards their even more action-packed sequels.
The series have a very similar premise. Both have a young protagonist who trains to become stronger while facing powerful opponents. Both series have impressive fight scenes where characters use special techniques using their inner energy. If you enjoy watching shounen series with combat in them, you'll probably like both the series.
Ever hear of a little series called Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z? With the main character Goku? Yeah. Luffy from One Piece Gon from Hunter x Hunter and Naruto from Naruto were both inspired by Dragon Ball's Goku. The creators say as much themselves.
Naruto takes a lot of inspiration from Dragon Ball, which is rather clear. I watched Dragon Ball first, then later on watched Naruto. It's a good watch.
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,
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)
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.
I have never thought that I will find any similarities in these animes (except that they are both long shounens). Those who watched Naruto and Naruto Shippuden will definitely like/love Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (but I can't promise the same if the opposite)...
Both Of The Characters:
- Start to build their way up and develop their real personality and image from the very 0. Naruto is a recluse, who never had any close or far frinds, because everyone is afraid to mix with him, because of his cursed mark and the rumours about beast, living inside the boy. On the other hand he is a complete looser,
who does something silly all the time, sometimes more than one silly thing at a time. He got used to living alone, and even though his new friends don't seem to like him much, that doesn't stop him for aiming to fight and achieve his goals.
Tsuna doesn't have many friends and he is used to the live of a loner (loner, not lonely). Unlike Naruto, he has a family and couple of, well, friendly classmates on his side, but he doesn't mind being alone at all.
- Have kind hearts, pretty much strong will when it comes to fight and definitely strong will when it comes to protect someone, and fight for justice and rescue the world.
- Are said to be leadrers. Naruto's dream is to become a Hokage and protect his friends and village, as a leader. Tsuna has to become a mafia Boss in addition to protect his friends and family.
- Have to go through special training to gain enough experience. In addition of becoming stronger and fight for what they one day will achieve, you can see the character total transformation and how are they growing mentally and physically.
- Need to tame a *** beast.
In The Both Stories:
- Elements like Earth, Wind, Mist, Wind, Fire, Water... are used by characters in their fighting techniques.This is adding an unique quality to each character's personality and inner power.
- The character chakra/flame has a form of an animal, which along with the elements describes their individual personality.

Their main characters (Naruto and Tsuna) start ridiculously weak and get really strong as time flows. They also have friends that help in the journey with their different powers. Both are mainstream shounen anime. Both give you a good time, but remember, friendship is always the most important thing! If you liked one, you will definitely like the other.
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.

Being Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Z creator) a main inspiration for Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto marks the starting point of many anime viewers. In the 90's Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z was the Shonen anime that made a lot of people fan to the anime. In this time, Naruto is the Shonen anime that had made a lot of people fan to the anime being Naruto their first anime. Packed with a lot of action, martial arts fight (Ninjutsu) and the road to be the strongest, Naruto is an action anime that any DBZ fan would love and plus has a more thriller drama.read more
The two are very good because, many adventures, battles and some characters and techniques remind me a lot of Dragon Ball Z, but I go more for Dragon Ball Z, because it is my favorite anime.
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 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!
Imo Naruto and Kenichi are very alike. They both strife to get stronger while using martial arts. They both have top level, weird, funny masters. Also the humor in both shows are very alike.
If you liked the comedy in Kenichi than Naruto should be the next thing to watch and vice versa.
if you want an anime with characters that start off weak and level up with an honorable goal this is your similar anime to watch.....
if you are looking for an anime that stars a main character who has a good reputation of reforming the bad guys with strong motivational speeches and emotional talk, kenichi and naruto are two peas in a pod when it comes to that......
both main characters are outcasts with a lot of compassion for others...
kenichi's love life is kinda like naruto kenichi likes the main girl (miu) while a shy girl (izumi) likes kenichi sorta like naruto likes sakura while a shy girl hinata likes narutoread more
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.
Both main theme are set in the ninja world. Both involved great ninja fight between the good and the bad. Both had a good characters development to go with a good storyline.
Definitely for those that are interested in ninja, fighting type anime.
Uzumaki Naruto and Hanabishi Recca are both ninjas. They share similar ideals, and strive to become stronger to protect those close to them. If you're a fan of Naruto, I highly recommend Flame of Recca.
i think so if you have seen naruto you will like rekka no honno both involves ninjas and the word hokage is mentioned.In naruto hokage is the head of the leaf village but in recca no honoo its is a tribe of ninjas. there is humour in both the series and in naruto kurama is strored inside him in rekka no honno there are the 8 dragons inside him.
Imagine Naruto in Japan (Tokyo). This is it.
I'd reckon the mangaka of Naruto kind of copied this anime, as they both include ninja's with the elemental powers, hokages, and both contain these monsters that can pass on from child to child that reside within them to become overwhelming powerful (tailed foxes and fire beasts (IDK what they are actually called)).
- Disclaimer, One piece obviously copied the character ability of Minamio. Minamio is a character made of rubber that can stretch his limbs like Luffy, as well as nullifying punches
There's seriously no way that you won't like Yu Yu Hakusho if you liked Naruto. Both shows are about a teenager who has powers and whatnot, and has to save the day from an evil menace by entering tournaments, foiling the plans of bad guys who've been planning a Machiavellian revenge scheme for years, and have to constantly pull a hidden/inner/bloodline/etc power out of their ass every few episodes.
Story starts off with a delinquent who likes to beat up bullies and cause trouble to catch attention only to involved in an accident that starts for real.
They are later joined by companions with an experienced mentor whose past is tragic, a stoic, ruthless, and intelligent black haired individual said to be their competition, and a useless, annoying, and whiny brat who wants to get stronger to reach their goal.
By partaking missions until they encounter a powerful antagonist to kick off the story (Toguro for YYH and Akatsuki for Naruto).
I find Naruto to be YYH but with ninjas if you can swap HxH but it does have elements with HxH due to Togashi being Kishi's good friend.read more
Like Naruto, Yuu Yuu Hakusho best moments are the fights which are epic and usually decided by a cunning strategy. Pretty much all the characters are likeable.
in both shows, the main hero is extremely rude...
in both shows the main hero is teamed with a very dark, brooding anti hero who specializes in eyes and fire
both shows deal with demons
Both are 1990's shonen fighting anime with high school age protagonists. Both anime also feature spirits/demons, although Yuu Yuu Hakusho is more focused on them.
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.
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.
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.
This show is almost like Naruto.
1. The relationship between Marshall Cross and Allen is similar to the relationship between the Pervy Sage and Naruto. With the masters mistreating and giving their students a hard time.
2.The clan of Noah is like the Akatsuki
3. Kanda and Sasuke are alike in their personalities, they even look alike. And they both wield swords.
4. Allen and Naruto are both called something like "Bean sprout" and "knucklehead". They both seem or appear to be immature but Allen is a lot more smarter and calmer.
5. Both shows have missions and somebody giving out those missions like the hokage and Kumoi Lee
6. Allen and Naruto are both weak at first but Naruto works a lot harder than Allen, whose power just levels up
7. Lenalee and Sakura are alike they are both useless. Though Lenalee is A LOT nicer.
8. Both plots have the good people have something inside that the enemy wants to take away. Like The Clan of Noah takes people innocence and the Akatsuki takes bijuu.
9. Both Allen and Naruto have sayings like " my ninja/whatever way", "I made a promise...".
10. The whole exorcist and ninja things are alike.
11. War
12. Each person who wields innocence has a different power, just like in Naruto except in Naruto you have to learn different powers, and some people can have same powers like more commonly shadow clone or ..... clones. Naruto does have some rare powers like Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan the three ocular powers.
Naruto tops D.Gray Man because the people in Naruto especially the main character are more hard working while the characters in D. Gray Man just get power.
Also Miranda lotto's episode with the recurring time in a city is just like Haruhi Suzumiya's endless eightread more
d.gray-man has a energetic main character [allen walker] who is a lot like the main character in naruto [naruto uzumaki], a cold-attitude friend or comrade [kanda yuu and sasuke uchiha] who has a dark past, and an energetic female character who wants to protect their friends [lenalee lee and sakura haruno]. both stories are on fighting, but are laced with humour along the series. if you liked one of them, you may like the other. i cannot guarantee that you will absolutely like it, as everyone has their own unique preferences.
Both anime have characters with quirks or abilities .
Both main characters want to become very strong
Both anime have humor, lots of action, concentrated on friendship and scenes that touch people emotionally
Both are great shounen anime that have a mc who strives to be at the top. In my hero the protagonist has someone who he wants to defeat and prove himself to. Same with Naruto who wants to beat his rival and prove that he isn't what they think. They both have a battle arc. In Naruto it was the churn exams, and my hero has the UA sports festival. I think that they are both amazing anime and are similar in many ways.
after picking up FMA, it's difficult in finding an anime with such a riveting storyline and appealing characters. Naruto was the series managed to satisfy a new anime craze for me. Admittingly enough the story is not as tight as FMA, there is somethign about the series which draws you in and it's worth picking up
with an interesting plot and surprising twists, it's a perfect anime for someone who likes a lengthy story... although it is not for the faint hearted with a few bloodied scenes.
the story starts with a confusing scene that draws the viewer in, and it explains the characters lives at an understandable pace... definitely an anime that makes you care about the characters enough that you want to shout at them to get up if they get knocked down...
very much the way Naruto makes you feel. (at least, it makes me feel that way!)
it not just that though... this anime is laced with Japanese folklore for people who like stories with a bit of truth in them. That is... a bit anyway...
however, this is not the reason I chose to continue watching this anime. I actually love the lessons they knock into you e.g. "those who abandon their mission are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum"- Hatake Kakashiread more
Both fairly known Animes, character focus, and a lot of action. If you're getting into anime from Naruto, I'd suggest Full Metal Alchemist. Not only for the action, for the love, comedy, and general mood of it.
Both "Naruto" and "Fullmetal Alchemist" are series that easily are classified as mere fighting animes. In both cases I would disagree with the "mere"-part. Both of these animes have plenty of fights, but the also have the ability to go deeper in a way that will make them appreciated not only by adolescents, but by adults as well, and as such they both represent the cream of the crop of fighting anime.
Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu and naruto have some similarities: "betrayal and friendship"
The MC have different traits but they have the same dark past, one of them is always motivated and the another want to sleep all day.
sasuke and sion are the same, both of them are good friend of MC but they have different traits
Both is about war,friends,Comedy and betrayal.Both of the Main character have a monster inside of them , Greatly affected by sadness but still they choose to love people.
both the main character are best friends at first and end up becoming enimies.

both have very deep friendship bond
both the main characters are very strong
both main character have been abused, insulted ,tried to kill,because they are monster.
both have people hunting for they power to and kill them
The MC has a secret power that is hated by all people, tot he point that people like him are executed and/or banished as monsters. They both have elemental magic system of combat as ell as a little swordplay. There is also a fair bit of betrayal between friends and a lot of plot twists.
Both series see a prodigy orphan train himself to his limits in order to gain strength for his goal.
Both JUMP series.
Orochimaru is similarly dark to Muzan.
Both have great OST's, characters, world building and stories.
Both have amazing main characters, a great and compelling storyline, Simp characters, characters that just make you laugh, and great action! Though I will say if you're comparing the video quality Naruto/Naruto Shippuden has a lot less of that while Demon Slayer literally blows my mine with it's beauty ✨
-Both have 'trials' that the main character must overcome
-Both have Japan/Ninja oriented themes
-Both use a music style involving lots of foreign sounds to us westerners
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
So, you liked the tragic tale of Oboro and Gennosuke and you're looking for more epic ninja action? Don't worry! I've got just the show for you. It's this somewhat unknown gig called NARUTO. In NARUTO, the world also has secret villages populated by ninjas that have all sorts of weird abilities, and who are destined to fight each other. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!
Basilisk fans know that EYES are a very important part of this show's story. Both clan leaders have special eyes that have unique capabilities. Gennosuke's may kill anyone who looks straight at him, whereas Oboro's can cancel any other form of ninjutsu. As such, for you, fellow eye conoisseurs, you'll be happy to know that NARUTO features not only ninjas, but also NINJAS WITH SPECIAL EYES. And their eyes are even more diverse than Basilisk's! They have more properties, they can be fused and change over time, they can even be PASSED DOWN BY IMPLANTS. It's the true show for eyes lovers, and if you consider yourself one, you don't want to miss this.read more
There are some very similar characters in these two anime (Naruto/Sakuragi and Sasuke/Rukawa).They have similar humor. However, Slam Dunk is a sports-anime and Naruto is about ninjas. They are both PG-13, but I think Slam Dunk has more depth.
both main characters have similar personal... naruto and hammanichi both of them act the same way and even likes a girl who is intrested in another guy.. sasuke is similar to rukawa
Naruto is about a Ninja who is looked down on because he had the Demon Fox sealed inside of him. He progresses afterwards so he became famous in his home town. It's similar to pokemon because Ash wasn't good when the series started. He just had patience and was not lazy to achieve his dream, just like Naruto
Both share a focus on the main character trying to be the very best in their respective positions and of course, a focus on a lot of friendships they make just as they do with the rivalies along the way as well too.
-Both protagonists have sad and lonely childhoods
-Both protagonists have special powers
-Both protagonists have cool transformations
-Both protagonists have lost their parents
The characters are quite similar,
Naruto is like Inuyasha, both stupid, loud, but possessing hidden power, descendants of extremely powerful characters.
Sakura is like Kagome, always walking next to the main character and acting a bit harsh, often bullying the main and causing the main to have feelings for them.
Sasuke, like Sesshomaru, is the main opponent, cold and always stronger than the main, not a righteous side nor a villain.
Jiraiya is like Miroku, they both guide the main in thinking, they all love beautiful girls, they are all perverted
Orochimaru is like Naraku, both are villains, has a rather eccentric personality and has gender issues, white skin like a ghost, or gives birth to disgusting things from his body.
In particular, both stories have costumes and landscapes similar to ancient Japan, influenced by generations of Samurai, and both stories talk about the image of a beast with many tails, the Kyuubi by Naruto and Kirara by Inuyasha.read more
Naruto was probably influenced by Saint Seiya's concept of lower class soldiers fighting and defeating those of higher hierarchy. The upper class soldiers notably underestimates their lower class opponents and are overcome.
If you like Epic battles, you can't go wrong with another of the most popular anime ever: saint seiya
Naruto (specially the saga where they have to rescue Sasuke) was heavily influenced by the great 1 vs 1 fights of saint seiya, you will begin to notice the cool similarities right way!
Both anime teem with combats in which fighters rely on some inner strength that grows subsequently as the story develops. In Naruto, it is Chakra, while in Saint Seiya, it is Cosmos... Both anime do tackle similar themes such as: loyalty and brotherhood.
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.read more
-both main characters are really similer, one of them being they both have blond hair, and the other being that their father's are "special"
-has a character that is both an enemy/rival/friend, that they end up trying to save.
-Sasuke = Alviss, they also have a "curse mark" that makes them stronger but less human.
- both don't have any parents
- both sad past
- both deal with fighting
- both have power within them like Naruto has the 9tailed fox inside of him, and Teito has the Eyes of Mikhail.
- both lost their best friends because of this evil person and both dedicated their lives to find and destroy the person
- both never had any friend until they a guy came into their life. ( naruto and sauka, and teito and Mikage.
- both great and addicting animes.
Both main characters have something special inside of them that the opposing group wants. The main characters doesn't realize the special thing there at first and it comes out when there angry or in danger
Both action heavy super powered shonen shows with main characters who are stigmatised for events in their past that were completely out of their control. Both also seamlessly switch between lighthearted humour and serious/dark scenes
-Both MCs are trying to become a significant figure in their setting (Hero, Hokage)
-Both worlds are unique and creative
-Characters have some kind of powers
-Both series have martial art based fight scenes
-Both MCs are disliked for something they can't control
The main characters are both fools who want to reach for the top of their respective fields. They usually use their innate talent and determination to break through the barriers set by their peers, who look down on them. The main characters are arrogant and see themselves in high regards. All of their teammates see themselves as on their level or above their level. There's that girl who admires the ignorant main character without their knowledge.
(alright for the record if i compare the Persona 5 animation i also at the same time mean to compare the game but video games ain't in the myanimelist so this will have to do) Persona 5 and Naruto have little similarity in albeit certain details...the Joker and Naruto each start out being ostracized and gossiped against...Joker with a false criminal record /Naruto with the 9 tails...both of them set out to make a difference and strive to become heroes...both of them make a point to reform their enemies ...also Joker starts out with a squad similar to the squad Naruto starts out with the comrades...Ryuji like Sasuke is an angry guy who is the protagonist's best friend..Ann like Sakura is the girly preppy of the team the first female team member in the group Ann is nice to Joker but Sakura is mean to Naruto but never the less in a team of 3 (Team 7 and the Joker, Ryuji, Ann trio) they bear some similarity ..also Joker like Sasuke is dark haired and is brooding and cool headed while Ryuji like Naruto is blonde and rowdy and brash and kind of a knuckle head read more
Both focus around the friendships the characters have made around the way in their journey as well as a daredevil like main character who sticks to what he thinks is right and also the main character being something of an outcast from where he was from originally due to a certain event, that has happened in the past as well too.
similar lovable hectic protagonist who yearns to be acknowledged. both shoyo and naruto possess a fatal physical flaw that stands between them and their goal, but instead of dwelling on attempts to fix what can't be fixed, they search for effective ways to weaponize and use it to their advantage. naturally, a black haired depressed rival guy comes with the package.
They have very similar characters, they even look like copies, they have children of these similar characters that also look like copies, and it also looks like a sequel, but it's shit.
Storyline is placed in early Japan.Involves some sort of magic in both.Both anime includes a kind of non-human evil god(or devil)-like character and 1 group trying to protect it and the main character group trying to defeat it.Plot twist in Naruto is SOOO REAL,but in Donten,it just gives a mini plot twist.
-Fun and intelligent fights
-Character building is king
-Like Naruto, there are many different squads you meet over the course of the show, each with distinctive fighting styles and are recurring characters
-Outside threats as well as inside (mostly) friendly competition
-Long form show with a 100 or so episodes so far
-MC is an underdog
-Unlike Naruto, it is a bit slow at first, doesn't quite start off with a banger like the Zabuza arc
-Has guns, sort of, still lots of melee experts or "Attackers" though
"That's my ninja way "..."that's my righteousness"...
Both shows have teams. Both protagonists started off as being the weakest, but got stronger through hard work, training, and pure will. They both also become strongest when they are protecting others. They both are somewhat airheads, but make up for their idiocy through sincerity. They truly are the good guys, and this trait of theirs often turn enemies into friends :) If you love Naruto, you'll like Ueki as well :D
Similar to Naruto, Yugioh GX is about a young kid in a fictional school where his talent starts to get recognized by everyone which later saves the day from a dangerous threat.
Looking for another story about a hot-headed protagonist, who also happens to be short, blonde and an orphan?
Look no further than Edward Elric and the anime series's Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood.
Unlike Naruto who is searching for his place in his village, Ed is searching for something else, but both characters fight through the hardest of times to get what they're looking for.
Both are my favorite
Like Naruto, FMA: Brotherhood has a huge lineup of diverse characters whom you will love and look forward to in every episode. Much like ninjutsu used by shinobis, the power used by alchemists in this series will remind you of summoning techniques. Another similarity worth mentioning is that Naruto somehow represents Edward; they both have a unique motivational drive to succeed despite all the boundaries they have to face. If you want a more mature anime similar to Naruto Shippuden, FMA: Brotherhood is one epic anime you don’t want to miss.
Both combat focused anime with peculiar/original eye art designs/artwork. Both have great character designs and art styles. Both series characters have their own forms of super powered attacks.
I think it would be fair to compare The God of High School with Naruto's Chunin Exams arc in many ways. Both anime focus on a competition between students, both have an initial focus on martial arts, which eventually paves the way for characters developing more supernatural powers, and both anime use mythology to derive their concepts from, with Naruto's Tailed Beasts being the most obvious similarity to GoHS's Charyeok system.
I watched yugioh and was recommended this, assuming I wouldn't like it and yugioh would be the only anime I ever watched. Naruto is equally as good and still contains a magical element just as yugioh did. The first episode is amazing, and the second and third are good also.
I'm about halfway through episode 4 and I thought I would recommend this to other yugioh fans looking for something else to watch. I'm alternating between the 2 now :)
both are based around supernatural competition as well as also focusing on a blonde hair mc as well too and lots of action as well too and nice art and character designs.
-Both Renton and Naruto hold some massive power they dont fully understand to start off with
-also both shows have a similar comedy element revolving around the main characters' romantic incapabilities
Like Naruto, Renton is also a youth with sort of a hippie complex wishing for peace and unity instead of war who is determined to restore peace between 2 warring factions. He tries to make sure everyone is getting along and also he's romantically involved with a girl who just happens to share the same english voice talent with the girl who likes Naruto..both Eureka and Hinata have Stephanie Sheh in common. in fact both E7 and Naruto characters have a majority of the same group of the english dub cast in common. and also there's a bitchy girl dubbed by the same VA as Sakura who's also a bitch. Kate Higgins as Talho/Sakura...... Eureka also in ways can be like a female Naruto because she has this dark history that she has to deal with even as she is turning over a new leaf and is in fact ostricized like naruto with his nine tail historyread more
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).
-Main protagonist has similar personality and wants to become strong.
-Qin's Moon has very inspiring philsophy, some things are similar to messages within Naruto.
- Both have action, some of the fighting ways are similar.
Similarities: based on historical times, main protagonists have no parents, main protagonists travel with a girl they like, a lot of assassins, friends that split up into their own paths, evil geniuses that pretend to be good guys, both protagonists aim to be the best of the best, and similar events that happen to Naruto on missions happen to Tianming on his travels
Differences: Qin's Moon is a Chinese 3D animation, Naruto is a Japanese 2D animation; Qin's Moon takes place in the Qin Dynasty, Naruto takes place in a Japanese-style fantasy world; Tianming doesn't help people through words as much as Naruto
A lot of humour, great battles, many many techniques, characters, etc. All these are features from both anime. The protagonist—a smiling guy, dressed in orange/red and blue. Naruto is blond. Goku can be blond. Both are great anime with great battles and many funny moments.
Similar stories, except Kingdom have no magical or supernatural elements. Both Naruto and Xin in Kingdom are orphans. They are strong, and both have the same lack of respect for rank and formal authority. Naruto dreams about being a hokage and respected by all. Xin has the same dream, except he wants to be the greatest general. Iruka is the big-brother figure in Naruto and the first one to really see Naruto’s strength. That’s Heiki in Kingdom. He, like Iruka, isn’t not one of the overwhelmingly strong characters, but he cares about and watches over Xin. Shikamaru is the smart friend, Xin has Kario Ten and Mou Ten (And I guess Shika’s dad would be Shoheikun in Kingdom). Jiraya is Naruto’s strong mentor, but Xin has Ou Ki. I could go on much longer, like Ou Hon is the aloof and antagonistic noble in Kingdom, that might become a friend in the future, just like Neiji is in Naruto.read more
Xin Li and Naruto are both aiming to become #1 military ranks. Both involve a lot of epic fights lasting many episodes, while Naruto is more about super power, but Kingdom is also looking mysteriuos at time, though it tends to be realistic. So these start a very long journey towards the glory, and who knows where it is gonna lead them...
As much as one anime is much longer than the other, both contain that one main character with a tough past and are consumed by revenge, in addition to both containing tattoos which sort of "trigger" their rage.
Lots of action, only Naruto's action doesn't exactly come with armored suits like Garo does.
Lastly, both animes have their protagonists, who both have hidden potentials, undergo awesome character development.
Naruto and Dragon Ball Super are both related to martial arts: Dragon Ball Super is related to pure martial arts along with some super powers whereas Naruto is related to Ninjutsu along with some super powers. Both Naruto and Dragon Ball Super have characters who don't have much intelligence but are skillful and also characters who are arrogant and proud. Both have characters who work hard to achieve an really difficult goal.
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.
The stories are a bit different but the feel of the stories are similar. The Naruto-Sakura relationship is very similar to the Leif-Jasmine relationship and Barda is pretty similar to Kakashi. Leif is quite like Naruto in the beginnings of the series. I think if you enjoyed this series you'll enjoy the other.
The protagonists resemble each other because they are both funny, and also, they were the worst students in a school, but both went ahead and triumphed.
Though Naruto is not a show meant for everyone, what it has in common with Cowboy Bebop:
-Existentialism and Nihilism
-Characters unable to forget the past due to a tragedy or an incident
-Episodic moments revolving around each characters to fill in the circle
-Are said to be popular among each generation
-Deaths that keep the story rolling
Both anime are based on manga published by Weekly Shounen Jump. Also, Kishimoto has cited Ninku to be one of the major inspirations behind his Naruto. This can be seen in the backgrounds and abilities of the main characters: both are skilled ninja, who combine ninjutsu with martial arts. Both Fuusuke and Naruto can use clone and replacement techniques, as well as Rasengan/Kuatsuken (as called in the respective series). In both anime, the trio of main characters protect villages from evildoers. Also, they both have a similar mood and comedy.
Though genres are quite different both anime has a main character that's weak at the start, but then he meets that someone special who keeps helping MC on his way. Nice character development, action, very engaging story. Great animation and soundtracks.
So ever since I started watching Naruto - I've read the manga, and only recently decided to give the anime a go - I've been, for some reason, unconsciously comparing it to Shingeki no Kyojin - my all-time favourite manga.
After the first episode of Naruto, I gave the show an 8. It was good. I'll give you that. The majority of anime don't get any more than a 6 from me usually. Shingeki no Kyojin, after the first episode, also got an eight. But I only changed that 8 to a 9 after the tenth Naruto episode, while Shingeki no Kyojin's eight turned into an immediate 10 after the second episode. Now, why is that? I'll try and explain.
Firstly: sfx and music. The atmosphere set up in Shingeki no Kyojin by the music accompaniments is absolutely flawless. In Naruto, I find that those things aren't as good. Some of the sfx and music are cliché. A lot of the 'touching' moments are filmed in such a terrible way that I couldn't decide if the show-makers intended us to understand it an a parodied way or a serious way. Maybe that's just me. But oh well, we all have our personal opinions.
Secondly: characters. This may be because I've read the manga previously, but I feel that the characters in Naruto, from the very first episodes of the manga, are very predictable, excepting a few choice moments. In SNK, there is no such thing. Every new development is a surprise. Every twist, every turn of the wrist and every trip decision comes as a complete shock.
Thirdly: direction of plot. One of the first things we hear Naruto say is that he wants to become the next Hokage. Since the show is named after him, we can safely assume, even from the first episode, that he will surmount all the coming obstacles and ascend to the position of Godaime no matter what obstacles lie in his path. I like the show, I really do. BUT THAT'S BORING. I don't like 'predictable' things - one of the reasons I prefer Shingeki no Kyojin. With SNK's plot, and with its developments, we have no idea whether or not killing the titans will ever be achieved. The main character's - Eren's - goal is to discover the outside world, and to do that he has to destroy the titans. He has no choice in the matter. It's that or getting killed. But with the number of deaths within the main characters and supporting characters, we could just as well safely assume that he'll get killed himself before he can even find out what the heck it was that his father left in his basement. Hell, even as I speak, Eren is being held captive in some rich guy's basement and about to be eaten by one of his best friends. And there seems to be no possible way out of it. A lot of the fans agree that it's possible he - the main character - will die. Naruto dying? Not possible. Never even considered. There can be no NARUTO without Naruto.
Fourthly: this last one is personal taste, but I tend to prefer really serious mangas/animes with very few comic relief (Sacha and Connie are two of the only comic relief characters in SNK, while ALL of Naruto's characters provide comic relief), heavy plot, manipulations, intrigues, and whatnot. I find that Naruto (the show, not the character, because Naruto Uzumaki is one of the characters I relate to the most in any anime) has TOO much comic relief, and takes TONNES away from the beauty and intensity that could be the show.
There's more, but I can't think how to put it into words. I tried my best not to give any SNK spoilers. No names.
Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been thinking the same thing or was looking for a comparison of the two. If you want to contact me to talk about this, or for any other reason, actually, then do! I'd be glad to meet someone new.
This isn't anime bashing by the way. I think the two shows are very good; I was only trying to put into words what made them different. Hope it makes you want to read whichever one you've not read/watched yet! ^^read more
Ib both shows the male MCs are pretty similar, they are thought of as monsters and are isolated by the common people. Despite that both male MCs are trying to save them from the threats they face. Also, they have pretty similar goals like being the greatest sorcerer/hokage. In their journey towards their goal they make friends/allies and enemies.
-Both are epic animes with unbelievable fighting scenes
-The relationship between Sasuke and Naruto is similar between Ryuuko and Satsuki
-Both histories are great, Naruto´s is still not ended, kill la kill is nicely ended.
-Kill la Kill is more outrageous and it´s music is better, Naruto is longer (so much more longer)
-Friends are the key of the tale in this animes
Both animes have a positive lead who will do anything to become stronger. Both main characters have the same basic personality, loud, impulsive, and melancholy when reflecting on his own failings. Both lost their parents at a very young age and had to grow up faster than those around them.
Naruto and Neon Genesis Evangelion are the deconstruction of their respective genres:
-Naruto is this to shonen while Evangelion is this to mecha
The plot of both shows take place after a post apocalyptic phenomenon:
-Naruto has a setting that took place after Tsuki No Me involving the Ten Tails while Evangelion took place after the Second Impact conducted by Adam
The Trio of Characters led by the Mentor are identical:
-Naruto is Shinji, Sasuke is Rei, Sakura is Asuka, Kakashi is Misato
The power within the mc is similar and the supernatural beast that they use are too:
-Naruto has Kurama while Shinji has Eva and they are both said to be the chosen child destined to save the world from destruction
Later in the story they are joined by a certain "friend"
-Kabuto Yakushi and Kaworu Nagisa
Child Soldier is the huge aspect of this shows as children are being sent into battle realizing how crap the world is and how much of a huge consequence and toll it could bring upon them leading to trauma and other psychological factors. War is hell on Earth and it is something that can ruin your life if not prepared mentally and physically making both shows feel real to the viewers.
In both series you will see a lot of emotional rollercoaster and drama dealing with Jungian and Freudian psychology and has more to do with character development. Not to mention it gets dark later on. Religious themes are heavy something akin to the story's purposes.
If you enjoy one then you should enjoy the other.read more
Both deal with main characters that have been ostracized from society because of factors they cant control. In Naruto, the titular character (Naruto) is hated by society because a destructive fox beast was sealed within him, while in Shield Hero, it's more of a set up by higher ups to keep the main character disliked and disadvantaged. However, over time, they come to gain the respect of the people who once doubted them. Nothing is handed to the main characters of these anime. They have to fight and prove themselves worthy of respect despite overwhelming odds. Both great stories of redemption and have good manga adaptations too!read more
Both series are action and fighting series, and both involve a school. The main characters are very good and the stories are very profound. The powers of the different characters will get you hyped every time you see them. The main characters "ability" never gets repetitive and you will always need to see the next episode right away due the immense level of suspense and excitement the last episode left you with.
Hear me out,
- Fruits Basket and Naruto are mainly stories of the outcasts. Most of the characters in both series have tragic backstories.
- If there's anyone who can match Naruto's 'talk no jutsu', it's Tohru Honda.
- Both have themes of self-improvement, self-acceptance and moving forward.
- Both are motivational.
Absolutely one of my fave anime, if you are into RPGs then this is definitely for you too. Very similar plot like naruto, but completely different world. Amazing anime with cool fights and good story
Another action packed anime. This is a but more on the darker side as the two above (similar to naruto) are more on fun side of the spectrum. Tokyo ghoul is another great Anime with with maneating ghouls, fighting, love and much more. absolutely a must to watch
Just like Naruto, JoJo's in an amazing Shounen anime. In both anime the main character has to train to become stronger to defeat the villain. Didn't like Naruto's filler episodes? Now, don't you worry, for JoJo's has no filler!
Okay, this might sound weird, but both deal heavily with the concept of breaking out of the cycle. A major plot point to both shows revolve changing the attitudes of their community as well as dispelling old grudges and discriminations towards characters caught in the crossfire of strifes that started way before their time.
both shows deal with social alienation, prejudice, characters with sad/traumatic pasts, brooding anti heroes, regret, revenge, betrayal, loneliness, similar emotional themes, loss of loved ones, similar sad themes, moments and conversations that grabs your heartstrings i havent BUT I'm sure so many have cried over both elfen lied and naruto at some point or another on so many occasions. one of the main villains orochimaru/kakuzawa subjects people to cruel experiments. sasuke and naruto in some ways or others are both like male renditions of lucy gaara is another one like lucy and also there's a girl with pink hair

I`m really suprised no one recommeded it yet. Never giving up, surviving and chasing your dreams, no matter what - Rainbow is Naruto of real life. Make no mistake - Rainbow is heavy drama set in post war Japan, no fantastic elements here; teenage characters in both anime. I always put them one next to other.
Two of the biggest shonen titles of their respective eras. Plenty of different cool characters, ninjutsu, special attacks, constant fighting, life or death situations and above all the power of friendship and tenacity.
both series feature a delinquent type outsider who is frowned upon who works to better himself and selflessly helps others and is liked by a weak shy girl who puts up with him...also this is a mixture of comedy and tear jerker
both talks a lot, but naruto intends to tell more of the story, while gintama is just random comedy. naruto gradually gets stronger while gintama , the protagonist is strong from the start
They have the same directors of Naruto, a soundtrack very similar, both animes have fights and powers, the script is already quite different, while Naruto already has its objectives, in Gunjou no Magmel, they are "exploring" a continent. I recommend.
Protagonist is dumb, naive and goofy but also a kind, generous and charismatic person.
Both shows are your typical shounen with classic shounen tropes: hard action, slapstick comedy, teenager problems, nakama power etc. Also some enemies may turn into friends in process.
If you are a fan of this genre, you'll like it. If you like one show, you'll definitely like another
Okay, we know it is fated to recommend naruto to Japanese feudal anime. But the recommendation goes through the soundtrack extremely similar, and also for having an ambiance and a certain "aura" similar to Naruto.
-both protagonists are rejected, misunderstood and underestimated.
-both protagonists has great power within themselves and need to learn to control it
-both animes have action scenes and adventure
-both animes have super powers (zero no tsukaima has magic and naruto has jutsus)
main characters have blond hair both hair and are dumb, and full of themsevles but get serious when a friend is in danger so
only difference Naruto develops strength and Mitsu is already strong
and a love hate bromance going on throughout the show
Naruto and Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma are both about ninjas. While they both have different tones (Blood Reign is horror while Naruto is Shounen action), both titles feature a rivalry between the two main character. The relationship between Hikage and Marou in Blood Reign is similar to Sasuke and Naruto. They are both filled with action and characters with crazy ninja techniques. If you like one, you will probably like the other.
At first glance they probably don't look like they have anything in common but both have similar characters
two boys who both have incredible power in the form of a beast in them that they didn't know about. They learn about their power due to another intervention whose interested in helping them become stronger and helping them learn how to control the power. Both shu and naruto interest in becoming stronger leads them to find a rival in their team mate. jiro and sasuke both have a painful past that motivates them to fight so the can gain revenge.
Both anime deal with ninjas. The main protagonist in both titles are a young ninja must learn to become stronger while trying to protect the people that they value the most. Both tiles are also action-packed anime with lots of fight scenes and characters with powerful ninja techniques. Both titles also feature a giant monster that wipe out a village that plays apart of the main protagonist's past. If you like one, you should enjoy the other.
Both shows have a character named Rin (Kakashi's childhood friend) and Rin (rival of Haruka). Haruka's calm and nonchalant personality is similar to that of Sasuke Uchiha's. Finally, both main characters are very inspirational.
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.
Both shows have ninja's, deadly villains & battles. Both have great world building, character designs and art styles. Both have historical influence and unique looks. Both have 10/10 OST's.
You might think that there is not much in commen with both But there is
They both have food in them
They have martial arts in them
Fighting
Dialogue
A cute chicks
Well, oriental setting, and with that Naruto occasionally manages to deliver the same kind of tranquil 'zen' feeling that Mushishi is completely based on. If you're into Mushishi's atmosphere and characters and don't mind the occasional martial arts sessions, then you'll like Naruto too.
Also the way the Mushi in Mushishi twist reality is sometimes similar in its weirdness to the use of Ninjutsu in Naruto. Both series' worlds therefore contain a mystical layer with them.
the story line is not the same but the characters are very simular in looks and personality + in both animes the main characters were best friends and then became enemies . I watch Naruto for years and when I first saw Break Blade it was the first thing that I thought was that the characters are exactly the same
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.
Stories of friendship. Mato tries her hardest to recover the bond with her best friend Yomi, just as Naruto tries to keep the bond with his dear friend Sasuke.
Naruto and Endou Mamoru has the same voice actors. And Inazuma eleven is Naruto jutsus(supernatural powers) and Tsubasa combined. If you love Inazuma, you should love Naruto.
The interaction among the characters is the same, but above all, the drawing style is the same: the main character of Roots looks really like Sasuke of Naruto, both in drawing and mind.
Both anime are about fighting against evil and making a dream come true
In both anime are the two main characters (yoh and naruto) serious about their mission, but they don't seem like they are
The tension between yomi and kagura really reminds me of Naruto and Sasuke, especially the fight at the end, which in both animes the characters fight because of their love and care towards each other. The storyline isn't similar at all though, so you won't feel too bored watching one after the other.
I found Yugioh ZeXal and Naruto similar by some points. First, both of them aimed for younger audience. Also, The main characters are very similar. Yuma is like Naruto, annoying, bullied, weak teenager who wants to be master at something (Yuma to become Duel Champion, Naruto to become Hogake), and of course he'll do it with many powerups and the "power of nakama". Kotori is much like Sakura, useless cheerleader. Also, Kaito is Like Sasuke. Epic cool-like rival, but sadlly he is more tsundere. The relationship of Kaito and Yuma is very similar to Sasuke and Naruto's relationship. Both anime are pretty bad. But if you liked Zexal you'll probaly love Naruto. read more
Both Claymore and Naruto follow the adventures of a low-ranked longshot who ends up being one of the most powerful members of the group. The moods of the shows are pretty different, but there are great fights and fun powers, so if you liked one, you might like the other.
Follows the cast of children that are training to become ninjas, using combat and espionage techniques. Main difference is that while Nintama Rantarou is for kids, Naruto is for teens.
"Naruto" and "Beyond the Boundary Movie" / "Kyoukai no Kanata Movie: I'll Be Here - Kako-hen" surround a brash young male protagonist who has a powerful being within him that can cause widespread havoc if released. The being also grants him rapid regenerative healing and other powerful abilities when provoked or under extreme conditions.
In both series, people sacrifice themselves in order to protect the protagonist in order to ensure the safety of the world.
Attack on Titan Picture Drama isn't focused on action, and the art style is very different from Naruto.
However, the antics within it reminded me of the antics from the early episodes of Naruto. The style of comedy is almost exactly the same. It was unmistakably similar, which made me think it was worth a mention.
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).
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*

"Iron Man" and "Naruto" tell stories of a arrogant and conceited male protagonist who is seeking approval or recognition from a land filled with people who think of him as an outsider.
However, slowly but surely, the main character is seen as a postive force through the eyes of people close to him who were affected by his selfless actions and gain the respect of people who understand the purpose behind his life goals as well as what he hopes to achieve.
Naruto is shounen anime, Metal Fight Beyblade is adventure title more for kids. However, they have much similarities. Both are about fighting, in Naruto as ninjas, in Metal Fight Beyblade in Beyblade with beys. Main male characters - Naruto and Ginga are very similar in many ways - both want to fight no matter what (most all day), they're fighting to the end, never give up etc. Both loves to eat. They have dreams - Naruto wants to become a hokage, Ginga wants to be the best blader. Both have rivals and meats many friends in their ways. Also, both animes are very exciting and gives much emotions.read more
Fun and enjoyable, but dark tone at heart. Both have great animation, and epic fight scenes. Both shows are about children striving to become heros/ninjas and protect society from evil.
The dynamic between Naruto and Sasuke vs Midoriya and Bakugou is very similar.
Kuusen and Naruto both have a strong airheaded character who has to lead an inadequate team of three. Both teams have a skilled, an idiotic and an avarage character. Even their haircolour is almost the same pattern. The only difference is that in Naruto all three are flatchested.
