Radiant addpermalink

Both have great world building and a large caste of characters. Both have two main factions that have conflicted members that you can root for. Both main characters are in search of a mysterious MacGuffin (the Radiant=the One Piece) where the journey is more important than the destination. Both worlds feature traveling to islands in a vast expanse on unique ships.
They share a charming sense of adventure and mystery that keeps you wondering what the next step in the journey is and who the new interesting characters you'll meet along the way. 
I see Radiant becoming a lot like One Piece one day if it is cultivated right. read more

One Piece and Radiant have the same concept, where a young boy having a dream to become the strongest and finding something (Luffy wants to be Pirate King and find One Piece, Seth wants to be the strongest sorcerer and find Radiant).
To achieve their dreams, they have to go through adventures to gain allies as well as information about where the things are placed.

Both follow a similar pattern and premise.

Both stories follow the protagonist moving from island to island to become stronger and finding their objective (the One Piece and Radiant)

In both cases, the protagonists are seen as evil/the bad guys merely for who they are.
> In One Piece, Luffy and his gang are seen are evil because they are pirates and pirates are 'evil'
> In Radiant, Seth and other sorcerer's are seen as evil because they are sorcerer's

Also, there is a semblance in the antagonists.
> One Piece - the Marines
> Radiant - the Inquisitors

>>> The antagonists are law enforcers who try to catch the protagonists merely their 'occupation' and not by their character; it doesn't matter if they are good people and have not broken the law

If One Piece is in the sea, then Radiant is in the sky. Both anime is pretty similar, they travel to different islands, fight enemies, make friends and travel together. For One Piece, their journey is to find the treasure called "One Piece" while Radiant in the other hand is to find something called "Radiant"

Pokemon addpermalink

When I first started watching One Piece I thought "wow, this is like a mixture between DragonBall and Pokemon."
- main characters are similar (kinda slow, don't give up, their hats, their hopes & dreams)
- strong theme of friendship, dreams and never giving up
- similar art style and very similar music
- lots of travelling and seeing new places
- each new crew member in One Piece is like a new Pokemon or team mate is Pokemon
If you like Pokemon you will hopefully like One Piece and vice versa

Replace "Friendship" with "Oppai" and "Pirate King" with "Harem King", and this is essentially a similar kind of shounen anime but with fan service.

Love Live! School Idol Project addpermalink

While they are two very different anime at a first glance, both are incredibly similar in characters.
Both share quite a large group of protagonists who go on the same journey to achieve different goals and find themselves, often with relatable backstories along the way. Both crews are known for the chemistry between each other, the constant comedy of each character and "nakama" aspect of friendship that are as close as family, if not more. One group aims to become great idols, while the other aims to become great pirates.

Some characters are very identical, especially both protagonists (Luffy and Honoka) who are airheads that lead the group with their grit and whimsical nature, who follow their hearts and emotions rather than ever caring about logic.

Many of the character traits are usually played off in a very comedic nature, but are sometimes used for serious moments, and can even be a character's pitfall.
Robin and Kotori both have a fallout with the team at some point where they leave for a small period of time during a serious story arc, while Robin and Eli both have similar personalities after adapting to the group (and both are supposedly Russian). Nico and Usopp are notorious liars and often claim to be the leader of their group or the greatest idol/pirate, as the crew members ignore their antics.
Hanayo and Chopper were at some point incredibly shy and both pressured by the protagonists to join the crew, and both have a bubbly nature where they find things awesome or cute. Umi and Nami can be kind and high-spirited, but are known for their seriousness and keeping the protagonist in check, usually in a comedic nature, scaring the protagonist when they get really serious. Nozomi and Sanji are both perverted and share a love for cute girls, and both can even have a mysterious nature sometimes, although their (Nozomi and Sanji's) personalities are wildly different outside of those.

For most of both shows length, both shows crews consists of nine members lead by the bubbly, child-like protagonist, and is nearly always promoted as such. If you enjoy the chemistry between the characters, the comedy and relatable nature and love between the crew members above all else, you may enjoy the other anime as well. read more

Haikyuu!! addpermalink

If I were to describe Haikyuu!! in a single sentence to a friend, I'd call it the One Piece of Sports anime. Everyone knows One Piece. One Piece is an action anime that revolves around a no-name pirate who dreams big, makes an impact will not falter in his goal, has friends/crewmates who argue and get into funny situations (and pull hilarious faces) and much more in a epic story with some rivals and villains that you can't help but love because each character is so unique. And that also describes Haikyuu!! pretty well, too. Just replace "action" with "volleyball", "no-name pirate" with "short guy who can jump" and "crewmates" with "teammates". (And take out villains.) read more

Digimon Xros Wars addpermalink

This might seem surprising, but there are a lot you will find in Xros Wars that you find from One Piece. For example, some parts in Xros Wars might seem really cheesy or lame, but there are parts give you a heartfelt feeling similar to what could be found in One Piece vice versa.

Both are shounen anime involving both comedy and action where bonds between nakama are really important.

Hajime no Ippo addpermalink

They both have the same brand of humor.  Additionally, both can draw you into the emotional moments of the story.   Luffy is on a quest to become King of the Pirates, Ippo is on a quest to become stronger (aka, win the world feather weight championship).  The composition, the mix of humor and seriousness, is the same.  It doesn't really have similar setting and world , but that feeling you get from both anime are the same.  Both are as great of a shonen series as the other.

Shokugeki no Souma addpermalink

-Both have main characters that are very good at what they do
-However neither of these characters is the best yet, and their few losses greatly impact the plot
-Both of them feature a considerable amount of fanservice that manages to not feel forced and flows naturally
-Both of them focus on the bonds between your team mates overcoming an impossible wall (Polar Star Dorm vs Central/Straw Hat Pirates vs literally everyone)
-Neither of them have the buildup like other shonen. Characters are very strong to begin with and are presented with increasingly strong enemies to push them farther. However, it is executed in a way that makes it a goal, by setting a limit beforehand. (Elite 10, Yonko) read more

Shingeki no Kyojin addpermalink

I am actually surprised that no one have recommended One Piece to people who liked Shingeki no Kyojin!

One Piece and SNK are very similar, despite the difference in pacing, amount of tough violence, number of episodes and overall tone. The story of the two are about accepting the world, beating the unbeatable opponents and taking care of your loved ones. As tough as SNK is, it has always been about the dreams of those characters, their struggle to live and succeed, to be the "best worst generation", something that One Piece is always so good at!

I've actually started watching One Piece after I've watched 2 seasons of SNK, so I was able to catch the moments where you can just tell that the mangaka of SNK liked it so much that he took some of the ideas from OP and reworked them in SNK.

As of violence, I'd say that the violence in SNK is not the lustful one, it's there to move the story and not to satisfy someone's desire for blood and gore, the Titans action doesn't strike you as disgusting because of their perfect visual design and the way SNK shows the violent things. One Piece might not look like it has any tough moments, battles at first but the series progresses throughout its course and things are never the same.

One Piece and Shingeki no Kyojin are these two anime that are always going to make me happy and I do encourage you to take your time and enjoy One Piece. No skipping any of the episodes, no rewinding; just try to sit back, relax and get used the the way One Piece tells its stories. I can promise that if you will be fully open and patient, One Piece will most likely be the best thing to happen with you in terms of anime. read more

Kami no Tou addpermalink

>Both MC's have a specific goal in mind, for their own gain

>Both have a number of challenges to do until they reach their goal (Islands for OP, floors for TOG)

>Both have no way of telling when it will end (There could be infinite floors of the tower/islands)

>Both are ongoing

The differences lie in how TOG is much darker and has so far shown a much faster pace than OP.

One Punch Man addpermalink

Great action, funny, awesome fight scenes.  Overpowerd characters, cool attacks etc. And if you're liking the animation in One piece, try One punch man. In my opinion  One punch man has the best animation i've ever seen.

 One punch man is a much shorter serie, it doesnt have as good as a story as one punch man. Not as great as character development as one piece does. BUT, one piece is one of a kind. No serie out there that I've seen comes near the adventureous and unique story of one piece. So dont try too hard finding a serie that does. Try One punch man instead and if you were looking for great comedy, great fight scenes and awesome animation. You're golden. 

Thank me later ;)

Arslan Senki and One Piece are both incredible stories of a boy who sets out on an amazing adventure in order to become king and gain freedom.
Both main protagonists are able to gain many followers as well as strong and loyal nakama to accompany them due there unique personalities.
Both anime have a great contrast of humor as well as great seriousness that go well together.
To anyone who likes One Piece you will definitely enjoy Arslan Senki the two anime are incredibly different but if 1 appeals to you the other is sure to do the same.

Akatsuki no Yona addpermalink

I've found that pirate anime are hard to come by. OP focuses pretty much solely on pirates, but if you've been craving some more, AnY has an arc that is solely based around pirates.
Chosen family is also very present in both series, and the mains will do anything to protect their friends. 
Occasionally allies are left behind, but they tend to be referenced and you get the feeling that they'll be back.

Both are shounen action anime with carefree and independent main characters who nevertheless have a strong loyalty to their friends.
