One obvious recommendation is Baki, which is also on Netflix. Baki is about how Baki Hanma wants to be the very best, like no one ever was! To beat his father is his test, to train like no other is his cause. He will travel across the land, kicking ass and taking names. To face other martial artists to understand the power that’s inside. In this Netflix exclusive, the fight comes to him as a bunch of death row inmates from around the world break out to come to Japan and test their skills. Not only does the anime center around Baki, but his friends and foes who are entangled in this fight where their very honor as martial artists are at stake! Like Kengan Ashura, Baki uses privately sponsored underground MMA as its backdrop. As opposed to fighting over contracts, the fighting in Baki is mostly about honor as men. As to how the fights are executed, Baki’s fights are similar to Kengan Ashura’s as they rely more on hardened martial arts but compared to Kengan Ashura, the intensity of Baki’s fights are on steroids! And we’re not talking about any steroids, we’re talking about a cocktail mix of Russian and Mexican steroids! When you take into account that the season primarily focuses on fugitives, that’s the best way to describe how insane the fights get. When you watch the fights, every punch and kick thrown is with not just bad, but with the worst of intentions! Last, they’re artistically similar with its details to muscles, fighters with insane gimmicks, and crazy hair styles!

If you liked Shaman King add

...then you might like Soul Eater add

This series is similar to Shaman King in the sense that both use similar fighting styles. In Shaman King, the shaman’s ghost ally can merge with the weapon being used, whereas in Soul Eater, a human actually transform into the weapon itself. Both the wielder and the wielded have to communicate effectively in order to win the fight, and as both series progress, the characters learn how to overcome their personal obstacles in order to defeat their opponents.
