If DBZ is the king of fighting anime, then YYH is the prince. Both have incredible characters, faster than the speed of light movement, more energy attacks then you can shake a stick of Pocky at, and more insane battles than you'll know what to do with.
Now, that said, I recommend checking out the anime before you read the manga, especially if you're new to otakudom. The YYH has been known to turn off some readers, but the anime is very crisp considering it was animated over ten years ago.
Totally Similar!! I watch Yuu Yuu Hakusho first and then watched DBZ.. I said YYH is copy of DBZ.. another friend of mine watched DBZ first and then YYH.. He said DBZ is copy of YYH..
Martial Arts, Shounen, Fighting Tounaments.. Totally similar actually..
While Dragon Ball Z is a latter series to Dragon Ball, both Dragon Ball and Yuu-Yuu-Hakusho are popular action series which would go on to influence later mangaka in the direction they would choose for their own series.
Yu Yu Hakusho is like a twisted version of Dragon Ball Z. They have plenty of things in common, from fighting to save the planet to a splash of romance to lighten things up.
Basically both animes start out as the person not knowing who he is, what he is, and what he can do. Centered around fighting and friends. Both excellent... if you liked one you will 100% like the other.
main character + comrades all get stronger & learn more about their abilities & self by joining in various fights against stronger opponents. big action scenes & powerful inner spiritual powers makes them a must see...
Uber Energy, After Lifes, Alternate Realms/Worlds, Enemies that reveal themselves conveinently in order of accending power levels, Chris Sabat, Why the hell not?
Basically if you liked superpower type with a little bit of comedy, then you'll also like Yu Yu Hakusho because they have similarities in many ways from humor and also fighting scene
Both Yu Yu Hakusho and Dragon Ball Z are good and well respected TV series. They share similar aspects such as those of the dealings with the spirit world, and fighting strange yet powerful opponents.
DBZ fans will surely love Yu Yu Hakusho. Although YYH is less fictional than DBZ, it still has that deadly competition and intense aura. The caracters in YYH are slightly darker, wich gives you a certain curiosity. I really recommand YYH, it as one of my favorites Anime's as well as DBZ. They both are great and jaw dropping.
Fighting tournaments. Spirit world and King Yama. Energy techniques. Yusuke even kinda goes super saiyan at one point. Also, Hiei and Vegeta are twins. They're both arrogant and awesome short fellows that aren't from earth and have spiky black hair. Difference is: YYH is a bit darker and the battles go by quicker than in DBZ. I liked YYH more.
These are the best of the best when it comes to shounen. Best fights, best characters. Yu Yu Hakusho just may be the winner when it comes to character development and plot though. These 2 anime have the most bad ass of all fights known to mankind and Yu Yu Hakusho is the BEST comedy out there. The only anime I have ever found truly funny is YYH. Check it out, it's very similar to DBZ but very special
Both shows combine action and comedy, and have a heavy shounen influence. The combat is similar in both of them, using lots of energy attacks, and both series feature a spirit world.
The major differences between the two are the art style and the characters.
Tournaments, inner energy Ki - Spirit Energy and the main protagonist constantly powering up through the mentoring of a sensei such as Genkai for Yusuke and Roshi, Korin, Kami and a few others for Goku other characters share similarities such as Hiei and Vegeta
Translated as Ghost Fighter or Poltergeist Report in some countries, this 90’s classic revolves around the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a 14-year old delinquent who surprises the spirit world by sacrificing his life while committing a completely altruistic act – saving an innocent boy from certain death. Faced with the reality that it was not really his time to die, Yusuke gets another chance at life working as a Spirit Detective, a person tasked to protect the Earth from the onslaught of demons from the spirit world.
Capturing much of the humor and intensity of Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho will immerse you in its fascinating world of spirits, demons, and humans who are courageous enough to take the mantle of mankind’s protector in order to keep the world safe. Just like Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho is also endowed with a cast of colorful characters and epic battles, all revolving around the theme of strength and the human heart’s desire to protect those it holds dear.read more
Both Dragon Ball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho are awesome shounen anime. They are also classics, and the latter is said to be the spiritual successor to Dragon Ball Z. One way that you could compare the two anime are in its art/animation quality and its themes. If you watch either anime, then you might as well start watching the other anime if you haven't already.
If you grew up off of Toonami, this another show that would come on late at night along side Dragon Ball Z! It is another classic that got us all into anime!
- Anime fans who grew up in the 90's and 2000's are nostalgic over these shows.
- Both feature some of the most epic fights in anime history.
- Both have tournament arcs
- Hiei is very similar to Vegeta personality-wise.
Main characters are similar, lots of action, fighting and comedy. Both series place importance on teamwork and friendship. Interesting character designs, same animation studio.
Well, not only do the authors keep making the story more interesting as it goes a long, they also keep adding seemingly impossible things into the plot. Also both series have a goofy main character who always wants to protect his friends and family.
Monkey D. Luffy (Main) and Zorro Roronoa are very similar to Goku and Piccolo in their personalities. One is nice, the other appears bad but eventually they become allies. So Have fun! ^ ^
Main characters are similar, lots of action, fighting and comedy. Both series place importance on teamwork and friendship. Interesting character designs, same animation studio.
Both the main characters of the shows, Goku and Luffy, are very alike. They both love food, both are insanely strong and they both love their family/friends.
Fighting and overcoming foes are a big part of both shows. And they both have some humour in them.
Neverending Powerups. Innocent (or just dense) main character who is searching for a treasure that can fulfill their wishes (In case of One Piece it's becoming pirate king) and their encounters on the journey. Everything is possible with the Power of friendship.
Beware of filler episodes!
(Adventure, Comedy, Action, Fantasy, Superpower, Shounen)
There both really good anime's with epic and sometimes over the top fighting scenes and Goku and Luffy are pretty much the same person but in different anime worlds
Both series have a main character who wants to achieve something and try to achieve it. Strong opponents to defeat and many friends who must be created.
I recommend Hunter X Hunter is you are a Dragon Ball Z fan for 1 very important reason. The first time I watched this series I couldn't help but make constant comparisons between Gon Freecs and Goku. They have an especially similar story arc that the anime hasn't reached yet, but the manga series has finished that reminded me of the Cell arc (I mean, really close in a lot of ways).
Manga aside, Hunter X Hunter feels like a smarter version of Dragon Ball (but with no dragon balls). There are great characters in both, and If you like Dragon Ball then you should like Hunter X Hunter (2011) as well.read more
Both are Shounen with the heroes training and fighting different types of threats for their friends and to prove themselves.
HxH feels almost like a homage to DBZ. The main character Gon is similar in temperament to Goku. Even his attack looks similar to the Kamehameha. Meruem's appearance is obviously based off from Cell. Don't make the mistake of thinking that HxH is a rip off of DBZ though, since the imitation is tastefully done and doesn't get in the way.
With that said Hunter x Hunter is way more mature and realistic than Dragon Ball Z. The emotions and motivations of the characters is examined in great detail. Dragon Ball for adults if you will.read more
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.
The energy or should I say aura is coming from their own body and must have training in order to achieve. The MCs like to become stronger because they want to face stronger enemies. The 2nd MCs are pretty alike in terms of character development.
Same genre, Shounen. Deals with abilities/aura. Lots of fights. HxH has stronger animation, characters, fights and plot. I also saw a lot of things DBZ did wrong and HxH did it right.
If you like Dragon Ball Z you'll love Naruto Shippuden. These are both the second part of amazing series. There both more high action to their original and go into further depth with the characters and story. The one part I like about Naruto Shippuden over DBZ is that the main character, even though may not get as much screen time, has a tremendously better backround and character development.
Both are classic animes any anime fan should know and has the same action filled sequences with somewhat repetitive storytelling and the main character uses that 'one' attack in every major battle
Both anime are sequels of other anime ( dragon ball and naruto ) in which the characters were children and now they have grown up. Moreover are action anime and have amazing action scenes and clever plot.
First of all if you enjoy the Shonen genre in general you'll most likely be compatible with the Naruto Shippuden series.
Aside from that here's the similarities of the protagonist in both shows:
1.) Work hard for their goals e.g: becoming stronger
2.) Eat food, and I mean a lot of food.
3.) They both have there long running rival shown early on in the series. I'll let you notice the similarities yourself.
To understand "Naruto Shippuden" I'll advise you to watch "Naruto" the original series, much like "Dragonball" is to "Dragonball Z."
So to quickly conclude if you want to relive you childhood's adrenaline, edge of seat, fist pumping action then run down to your nearest DVD store and pick up a copy.
*Side note: My opinion the series just gets better the more you watch it, don't be an "Impatient Percy." read more
both is similar character,story,fight,backstory character
naruto = goku
sasuke = vegeta
both is great sequel from dragon ball,naruto
but dbz is better than naruto shippuden
These our people's childhood anime , these have great action scenes and good character development and more to mention. anyways would recommend for both anime and good for starters.
would rate 10/10
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.
well its a shounen action type anime with awesome, very funny and unique characters it has a good storyline and awesome art and animation .If you liked DBZ you should like Fairy Tail
Both are completely absurd, over the top, pointless, silly, and a lot of fun. Obviously they are both shounen action series and neither one takes itself seriously.
If you're looking for a anime you can get attached to, with characters to love, don't look any further. The worlds of Fairy Tail and Dragonball (Z) will take you on a journey where you will find yourself laughing, crying, or maybe both at the same time. Goku and Natsu have the same mentality and will do anything to protect the ones they love. Let them take you to their worlds, where struggles are there to overcome and where the words 'giving up' don't exist. You'll most likely come to love -or already love- both anime and their interesting characters.
These two shounen anime are quite similar. Both are shown to rely heavily on teamwork and friendship, powering through and always coming together as one,and not allowing yourself to get taken down so easily. The main characters are quite similar in a few minor aspects, and the characters from each series are likable to a certain extent. If you like Dragon Ball Z, you should try Fairy Tail, and vice versa.
Both are long-running Shounen series each with over 150 episodes.
Both share action and adventure, and are filled with lots of battles.
Both have similar art styles and humor.
Many of the characters share similar traits and personalities.
If you’ve watched and enjoyed one of these series, I’d highly recommend you watch the other.
The similarities between these anime are endless. Happy-go-lucky protagonists, evil villains who might aswell have been in the opposite series, their personalities, the humor they share. The series as a whole really remind me of one another and give a very similar vibe.
OPM simultaneously mocks and pays homage to many shonen tropes, most of which can be traced back to DBZ as it can be argued dbz influenced the entire genre to such a degree that every series that came after was in some way influenced by it. If you enjoy these kinds of shows you're more likely to enjoy the comedy show OPM as you will get most of the jokes and references while it retains a lot of what appeals to people that like these types of shows. DB/DBZ/Super is no slouch when it comes to humour either.
Both anime have OP heroes fighting Aliens, Both have comedy, Extreme high levels of danger, Super powers are both in their genre. Both of these Animes HYPE level Is OVER 9000!!!!!
- Pointing out the Obvious From the first episode we have a purple Namekian looking alien similar to piccolo despite the color, as well as our main hero Saitama facing against aliens similar to Goku who is also a main character in his series.
- Both Saitama and Goku are physically powerful and both are very nonchalant in the way they act and fight.
- Also both seem average looking in their outward physical appearance
(saitama even more so)
- Both series contain Dynamic high octane action as well as some fun humour and Insane villains.
- Last but not least obviously both Saitama and Goku always seek to fight stronger opponents for a challenge somewhat for fun.read more
Both anime focus on a very strong protagonist, who protects humanity from monsters and other malevolent creatures. They have a lot of action and fights, but also a lot of lighthearted comedic moments. The character design is also somewhat similar, especially the first villain that Saitama faces, who looks like a blue Piccolo.
Both anime feature overpowered characters and are both humorous. All the characters are lovable, the fights are great, and the villains are just as good. The major difference is that OPM is a parody and shouldn't be taken seriously while DBZ is a more serious show. It's clear that OPM got inspiration from DBZ.
it's got the fantastic fights that go on for episodes at a time, it has the fantastic plots, defeating enemies ten times stronger than you, losing, then training then winning, the main character always faced with constant challenges, when i watched this, i couldn't help but think that i hadn't seen such a good fighting anime since DBZ. though many of the characters are nothing like each other, the style of the anime's are the same, if you enjoyed DBZ, go for bleach!
Both are formulaic battle-shounen anime, based on manga by Weekly Shounen Jump. They have a similar main characters, who are always fighting against new foes and menaces in order to protect their friends, and who are always training hard to get stronger. Both are quite action-packed, have similar comedy and an overall similar vibe.
both DBZ and Saint seiya are the best and most popular shounen anime of the 90's.
If you haven't seen it yet, you can't miss this jewel.
Both Train the Chi/ki/cosmos (spiritual energy) and the battles are epic, Saint seiya is a little more balanced and emotional/passionate so you'll find it similar to the great Gohan SS2/Cell battles :)
Dragn Ball Z and Saint Seiya, both true legendary anime series. Both series involves fights, special skills and techniques, and based in an specific culture (Dragon Ball was originally based in chinese culture, Saint Seiya was based in greek culture). Both series talks about an orphan boy who trains himself and fights to become in the strongest warrior (Goku and Seiya). In both series, the main character becomes friends with his opponents (Goku becomes friends with Piccolo and Vegeta, Seiya becomes friends with Shiryu and Ikki). In both series we can see an special kind of heroes (Saiyans and Saints). These Warriors can become in a higher class of warriors (Super Saiyans and Gold Saints). Both unmissable anime legends.read more
- Both are shonens from the same decade (80's-90's) that have a close style of fights and a lot of characters.
- The plot gravitates around the fights.
- The soundtrack is somewhat similar.
both are pretty long, arduous to watch, and unite together along with King of Fighters to create the holy triumvirate of central/south american otaku culture
G Gundam is pretty much non-stop action. It doesn't quite have the comedy of DBZ, but if you're looking for a series that's all about the fights, this is a good one to watch.
G Gundam is the closest you are going to get to Dragon Ball Z in a Gundam series. The central focus is on combat between individual Gundams, complete with signature named moves and plenty of cheesy quavering eye close up reaction shots. In short, G Gundam is full of high energy combat scenes and entertaining melodrama.
Both series have non-stop action and adrenaline. The character designs are also similar. Both also have main characters who participate in fighting tournaments. The only difference is that Gundam has mecha fights.
Okay so you love martial arts? super powers? amazingly overpowered characters? epic fights? adventure? power ups, gods, dragons... ? then you should learn If you are DB fan or Goh Fan you should know how those two are similar and great to watch & read.
Goku and Mori Jin, both mc are kind, little stupid, funny, always looking for a good fight, both doesn't know who they are really. great humor, funny moments, characters development, epic moments etc.
(SPOILERS, If you don't want spoilers don't read this)
both are Sun Wukong from journey to the west, in both show characters are planetary, universe level. basically mori and goku are same person. read more
- both is awesome fighting anime, martial arts, gods, super powers
- mori and goku are very very veryyyy similar characters (spoilers) both are sun wukong
- Similar vibe
- Stupid but kind protagonist that always are hungry, both of them loves to fight, both are funny
- awesome arcs.
- tourmanets GOH and Budokai
- funny and very good humor
both MCs Goku and Kenichi generally have a similar hairstyle
both fight with a sense of justice
both have co-stars that via funimation are voiced by chris sabat and kent williams
training before each battle and gradually getting stronger each time
there's a perverted master in both shows
Both series involve a MC who is trained in martial arts by several different masters. Both series increase the scope of the strength of the challengers throughout the anime as they achieve new techniques and skills. Both series have a memorable supporting cast that often pull their own weight in fights. If you like Dragon Ball Z for the characters and fights Kenichi The Ultimate Disciple is a excellent reccomendation.
Galo Sengen is basically a parody of DBZ, so while you must have some knowledge about Dragon Ball to enjoy it, if you are DBZ fan there is a high chance you will really enjoy it.
Well, Galo Sengen is kind of a DBZ parody, since it features characters that look like Super Saiyan Vegeta. So, I guess if you like DBZ, you might Galo Sengen too, considering it's just a short music video.
SHounen, both have a good splash of comedy mixed in with the seriousness of it as well as action sequences that are all different, complex, yet easily understandable. They all hold that rheum of fantasy. And I just find that people who liked DBZ typically like FMA as well.
It's just like dbz. Adventure + sweet action. Hunter just expands on it with a concrete plot, action scenes that are not overly drawn out. keyword overly. The characters are likeable. there are also a slew of them, just like dragon ball z. For the most part it has the light hearted action packed with some character definition. i found the beginning to also be slightly slow just like with dbz. But it quickly makes up for it.

One of the most influential shonen of all time, and perhaps one of Toriyama's inspirations for the type of drama found in the Cell saga? Both have exciting martial arts battles. Both had bad initial dubs.
Both are from Toei Animation.
Hokuto No ken influenced Dragonball Z majorly, in the supernatural and martial arts content
Both serie´s were higly populair, and still are
No rushed story´s , leftovers or crappy endings like Most of everyday anime
Both serie´s , THEY NEED MORE PRAISE!!!
Dragon ball z is the type of show that as you go through it you can attach to the characters and not expect them to die(well they come back every time) Soul eater also falls into that category, and you can tell(or i could) from the 2nd episode what kind of show it was. Soul eater is much shorter so its kind of like 1 or 2 sagas of DBZ. but its still definitely worth watching and if you liked DBZ i think you will like Soul eater.
Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest.
They are very similar to each other for so many reasons
first of all, original designs for dragon quest is made by Akira Toriyama, not story tho. when i first saw Dai I tought it was in some manga by akira toriyama.
Dai and Goku are very similar characters too, both kind, little stupid, both were sended from somewhere and were found by old man who took care of. Raised in wild with animals and etc...
Many actions, super powers, transformations and amazing adventure! I want to recommend Dragon Quest to all of Dragon Ball franchise fans... If you love Dragon Ball, You will also get to love Dragon Quest: Dai No Bouken too!
Hope This Remake will be full adaptation of original Dragon Quest Dai no bouken manga! If this series will be ongoing and it'll have 100+ series then All I can say is that this adaptation is going to be perfect!
this series is amazing. If You are fan of Dragon Ball or Dragon Quest, this both shows are very similar to each other.

Both anime were made around the same period, and they share similar plot points. First off, the art and animation are similar, as well as the character designs. Secondly, the characters in both anime often participate in battle tournaments. Also, they partially revolve around a conflict between two siblings. They also have a very successful game franchise built around them.
These animes can unify humor and fights in the best way possible. Well-designed muscles, powerful fights and lots of blood. Also, they are adapted from mangas of the same epoch.
Since they're both based on Akira Toriyama's mangas, they have a similar art style and wacky sense of humor. Cashman behaves a lot like the Great Saiyaman. They also take place in the same universe.
This not only came out at the same time DBZ was airing but several characters blatantly look like the original characters. They even have Piccolo and Krillin ripoffs.
Many similarities in battle system, overwhelming supervillains, energy meter, powerlvl boosts, rival->ally transitions etc...
However, fight animation differs drastically and that's a major problem for SK.
Bot these Shonen have an underrated plot, hilarious jokes, litty battles, interesting side characters, and amazing world building.
Both of these Protagonists are some OP happy go lucky Bad asses.
Overall great both are great series to get into that will really get you invested into these characters and their relationships
At school, boys used to talk about Dragon Ball Z, and girls used to talk about Sailor Moon.
We can say that Sailor Moon is the feminine counter-part to Dragon Ball Z.
Both anime share the same values : friendship, family, loving and caring for people.
Both series were created by one of the largest anime studios in Japan, Toei Animation.
Both series have kickass fighting scenes that will mistaken for a shounen anime like super transformation, rapid fire fisticuffs, flying kicks and energy beam attacks similar to Goku's Kamehameha.
Both series were dubbed in English albeit by different dubbing studios (Funimation for Dragon Ball Z and Studiopolis/Saban Brands for Smile PreCure).
Both feature an awesome elite fighting squad whose responsibilities are defending the world from evil forces that bring destruction. (Z Fighters for Dragon Ball Z and PreCure/Glitter Force for Smile PreCure/Glitter Force)
Both have heartwarming and funny moments.
- Both series start off with a girl trying to find 7 of something (well, original series, but you get my point.) and end up finding one of said "something" within the first episode.
- Both main characters start off fairly strong.
- Both have a talking pig (Woot!).
- Both main characters have hidden powers within them.
- Main character and main side character have an epic rivalry.
- Epic, fast paced, non-stop tactical fights.
- Shounen
Both of them are long shounen series with the major themes of growth, friendship, teamwork, and loyalty. The main characters seem to be immature and irresponsible at first, but when the right time comes, they turn out to be badass. While one of them aspires to be the pirate king and collects crew mates, the other heads toward being a leader in an infamous branch of the mafia and increases the size of his "family." As more episodes go by, the series and characters grow to become more mature and serious; the series start off kind of slow and overly immature, but once they get read more
Where to Start tho??
-Both Of the Main Characters are from another Planet with OP Supernatural Abilities.
-Both of them have Epic Fight Scenes with a lots of Power Up's and Explosions tho.
-The Humour in Both Shows are very Funny as well.
-both of the Universe from both Shows are Kinda Similar and Unique at the Same Time.
If you like Action Heavy Anime With some Comedy in it then those two are for you tho.
Both Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge and Dragon Ball Z are action-packed anime with fast paced action sequences and characters with extraordinary powers that fight over the fate of the Earth. Both anime have characters that have the power to destroy planets. They are both very entertaining to watch. If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.
Amusing action with overpowered characters. High level fights with many interesting powers. The characters enhance their skills and abilities, getting ever more powered. The protagonist learns important revelations of his/her past and his/her origins.
Adventures of a team of strong warriors have to facing many enemies, including some really powerful villains. There are many super powers to see, and really epic battles.
Both titles are action-packed Shonen anime with fast-paced action sequences. The main protagonist in both anime learns that they have an alien origin and must project the Earth from powerful evil enemies by using extraordinary powers. The biggest difference between the two is that Babel II is only four episodes and has a shorter story compare to Dragon Ball Z. If you enjoyed one, you should like the other.
Dragon Ball Z and Voltage Fighter Cowcaizer are both action-packed anime with lots of fighting. Both titles have characters with extraordinary abilities fighting over the fate of the Earth. They both have fast paced action sequences with extended fights. However, Voltage Fighter Cowcaizer has way less episodes, has more blood and nudity compare to DBZ. If you enjoyed one, you should like the other.
If you enjoyed the action in Dragon Ball Z you will enjoy the fight scenes in Get Backers! Like DBZ it has a great cast of wonderful characters with awsome abilities. Enimies become friends, everyone helps out, and like in DBZ, the most powerful character always has a smile on his face!
I began to watch Groove Adventure Rave (Rave Master) shortly after DBZ, they are both fun animes with tense battles and interesting characters. If your looking for action and drama similar to that of DBZ, Rave Master is a great choice
Both series have non-stop action, characters using different fighting skills and feature a rivalry between the two main character. Both titles have the main character train and improve throughout the series after facing many enemies. If you enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.
They share the same kind of goofy, over-the-top sensibilities about fighting and humor. Both have a cast of crazy characters(Kinnikuman moreso than DBZ) and both are stories of unlikely heroes rising to the top. You might want to skip the initial episodes though, as it starts out as a fairly bad gag anime before it shifts gears.
where as angelic layer is more on the cutesy side of things both of these shows have a turnament in which the main character must win or overcome. the stories are really good but with the longer shows the characters just have to keep fighting in more turnaments.
*Both MC's train to become stronger to defeat a much stronger enemy.
*The two series have amazing action and martial arts elements.
*Both MC's become very strong after all the series of training they do surely after they both achieve the status of strongest by many people.
*Both MC's always want to fight for whats wright and protect the ones they love.
If you like Dragon ball Z i think you'll find this anime suits your needs, Claymore is more bloody but both have intense fight scenes and constant upgrades with both main characters trying to achieve what is out of reach for low class warriors.
The concept of transforming to get stronger and using the power of your friends to get even stronger is prevalent throughout both. The heroes in each anime are on journeys to save their (worlds) from whatever evil threatens them and adorn explosive battles that get even more explosive as the series goes on.
The True Elite of their respective genre's. DBZ is the King of Shounen Battle Anime, with an Unsurpassable Power Level, while LOGH is the Unrivaled Poem of Space Battles, Political Power Struggles, and Philosophical Battle of Ideal Government Systems.
They share Dozens of the same Seiyuu for both series, most notably Horikawa Ryo as Vegeta and Reinhard, and Wakamoto Norio as Reuenthal and Cell.
The main characters are quite similar, with Yang and Goku both being the last hope and viewed by their friends as the Eiyuu/Heroes to save them from dire straits. Vegeta and Reinhard share not only the same voice, but both are Princes that demand their rightful place and want to seize the universe. They both share an Eternal Rival that they fear, respect, and ultimately want to subjugate, in Yang and Goku, who are relentlessly in their way. Julian and Gohan are similar in that both of them have the obligation to take over when their respective fathers can't be there, even though they fall short of the Legends that have to try to match up to.
Both are from the late 80's into the 90's, so their Animation is old, but the strongest Gems and Staples in Anime are from these decades.

Kosuke-sama features similar character design unsurprisingly as they're both done by Toriyama. Fans of Tori's unique style will enjoy this short movie which is very reminiscent of early dragon ball with similar characters to Goku, Kennosuke, General Black & Icarus.
These are similar in that they both have over powered characters with over-the-top battles. They both have amazing OST's with great characters and character designs. Both shows also have great senses of humour and art styles. They are both shonen battle anime whose protagonists have black spiky hair.
Both shows with prehistoric influenced world building. They both have main characters with black spiky hair, a pure-hearted and simple demeanour with masses of strength and potential. Both main characters also have important family ties that are intrinsic to the plot of the series.
Heartcatch is basically a magical girls counterpart of DBZ during the fights:
Flying and teleporting characters, crazy kicks and punches, visually absurd energy moves clashing each others... Even some sound effects!
If you like the fight style in Dragon Ball Z you are likely to at least enjoy the action in Precure.
