Nah, I mean it involves supernatural stuff and exorcising evil things but that's about it. You can say they're in the same sub-genre but that's where the similarity ends.

It's very similar to hxh, and the author has gone on record saying he has been influenced by hxh.

I never really watched HxH, except a couple of episodes here and there. But I have a feeling its premise is quite different from JJK,how are they similar?

It deals with similar themes eventually, and the protagonists are somewhat similar. I feel like the similiarites really start to show the further into both you go

The idea of what makes someone human, for example the chimera ant arc in hxh is considered one of the best shonen arcs and tackles what makes someone a human. JJK explores similar themes with the cursed spirits and if they themselves are human or not.

That's a very common theme, though. In almost every movie, book, anime or series about artificial intelligence, this theme will be explored. Which is to be expected because humanity has been questioning our identity since the first palm marking was made in the cave paintings.

I mean it is a common theme, But its just an example I'm giving, hxh feels like the spiritual successor to hxh. With similar mc's, similar themes later on, the same sort of tone, similar power system. They are both also very dark for a weekly shonen jump manga, hxh or jjk aren't scared to show the brutalilty of the world they are set in

Hmm, sorry but I'm not entirely convinced. Gon and Yuuji look very, very different to me. Their appearance, background, goals, their growth curve are all very different. I can't fully comment on themes and power structure because I didn't watch much of HxH, but the "what makes us human" theme is a bad example, because that's explored in almost every medium of art.

And from what I know about HxH power structure, isn't it completely unrelated to curses? Unless you're saying the "nen" in HxH is similar to "curse energy"... But almost every battle shounen has a "magic capacity" or "chakra" or just something to measure a person's power.. I don't think that's really a valid similarity as well

Yes they look very different but have a lot in common, I'm surprised you know all about gon's background goals and growth curve from just a couple of episodes of hxh, the author has admitted to take heavy inspiration from hxh and it shows. I'm not the best at convincing people of my opinions but if you haven't gotten fully into hxh, i recommend you give it a shot! It has a reputation as a near masterpiece for a reason.

Just saw your edit, and I'll just give you this quote about the power system "Akutami stated that the magic system presented in the series is largely based on Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter × Hunter, whose fights, in Akutami's words, "rejects emotional arguments", but Akutami said that like Daisuke Ashihara, World Trigger's author, whose magic system featured in the series is also similar to Togashi's, he is trying to find and develop his own style."

No. It's 85% the same. The same plot, the same powers with alterations , slightly different characters, and etc. But only things that's different is the animation, pacing,fights,the main cast since itadori is fully human and doesn't have any siblings. Also Ren has blue flames while itadori has blue energy.

Also It's similar to Fullmetal Alchemist and D. Gray Man

They are not both of them have different premises, different motivation for MC to fight, there are no character like gojo in HxH, HxH have MC with his 1 friend or 3 not 2 like JJK, almost half of HxH is tournament based and JJK only had tournament for like 4 episode and even that was different to what HxH had, there power standards, rating and world premise and monster type are different so ya not similar in one bit.

If you brand similarity in such broad strokes, the entire shounen genre can just be said to be "similar". In fact, everything in a genre are all similar.

I mean Ao No exorcist character was demon not the vessel of one, they spend there most time in school and JJK character just went there for like very brief period, MC is completely different personalities and treat wise, friend of MC are different, there are no gojo like character and exorcist is kind of boring also

I'm not the best at convincing people of my opinions but if you haven't gotten fully into hxh, i recommend you give it a shot! It has a reputation as a near masterpiece for a reason.

I think it's weird that people use Akutami's acknowledgement of being inspired by other works as a basis to say his work is" similar" to other works. The song Vincent is inspired by Starry Starry Night, but these are very distinct pieces of art.

And no, I don't think I'll be picking up HxH again. I've watched some episodes and it never really managed to get me hooked. And it's too freaking long, has it ended yet? I can't tolerate series that refuses to end, it feels like the original creative inspiration is being milked for money until even not its husk is left. So I'll pass.

Well the anime ended in 2014, and the manga hasnt had a chapter for over 2 years. The author has constantly been inconsistent with his manga release schedule, but a lot of people consider the end of the anime a great end for the series

I feel like it’s a bit similar to black clover because nacht is like megumi, sakuna is like that one demon of asta (forgot his name) and asta leaks what him sensei and most his friends have but he has that one ability that could make him a strong character. Yuji has a close ability but he need to master it like black flash. He could master it better than anyone else

Not really One piece has some similarities with Dragon Ball but that's it. Plus Dragon ball was a comedy anime before it became a fighting one so it's fair. Besides that it doesn't copy any other shonen jump manga. Also Hitman reborn didn't follow the typical dumb and loud character who becomes strong quickly. Tsuna was a loser and didn't want to fight which you typically see the main character as someone who loves fighting. Plus if they were hit by something or the enemy they usually are knocked out and lose the fight. Also they got their powers from rings and boxes instead of something supernatural happening or born with it.

Generic Shonen input here.

All are similar. Just a theme change.

Alien for Dragon Ball, Ninja for Naruto, Grim Reapers for Bleach, Exorcists for Blue Exorcist, Sorcerers for this show, Pirates for One Piece, Shamans for Shaman King, Alchemists for Full Metal Alchemist, etc. Etc.

they both take place in a school mostly and what they both travel around japan like the kyoto arc in BE and the shibuya arc in jjk. MC are similar it's just that in jjk it's more fights instead of story while BE it was more longer fights with a decent amount of story. So you can't see it yet. Also I never read either of the mangas but I'm sure they both will end the same way.

I honestly feel like D.Gray-man is a pretty good comparison, I haven’t watched much of the anime, but I have read a lot of the manga and it definitely gives me D.Gray-man vibes. I’ve also heard the D.Gray-man anime is pretty good. (Honestly its a series that deserves more love)

I know it’s not an anime but chainsaw man and jjk are almost carbon copies of eachother.
Sukunas fingers= gun devil parts
Sukuna= pochita (in a way)
Devils = curses (the way they work are extremely similar too)
Then you have the possessed mc who everybody thinks it’s extremely vital to their world(jujutsu/devil hunting worlds)
There are more similarities but those are just a few

They're both by Gege Akutami right? So he's copying himself? LOLssss anyway from what I heard about Chainsaw man, it seems like the whole vibe will be very different from JJK. I imagine it'd be closer to the vibes of Dorohedoro

CM is by tatsuki fujimoto and it came out a year after jjk so he mightve gotten inspiration from gege. but i think it should be more like dorohedoro in terms of the feel of the anime

hahaha 10-15% anime take place in school mostly in Tokyo with Kyoto and Shibuya arc doesn't makes all them similar. It likes telling OP and Vinland saga is similar they both involves ship and ocean.
