For those of you who are eagerly searching for some Anime like Naruto, you can check out the list we have made for you below. The following Animes which we have mentioned out here will without a doubt provide you with plenty of action and entertainment which you can enjoy during your spare time. All of these picks have a great story to tell, so all you would need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
1. Fullmetal Alchemist:
The very first one on our list of Anime similar to Naruto had to be Fullmetal Alchemist due to the action and drama quotient that prevails in most of the episodes out here. The story surrounds two brothers named Edward and Alphonse Elric, who try to resurrect their mother from the dead with the help of Alchemy. But the in the process of doing so, something goes terribly wrong and the elder brother, Edward loses his arm while the younger ones body deteriorates completely.
In a last ditch effort to save Alphonse, Edward sacrifices one of legs to attach his brothers soul to a suit of armor. Edward now uses auto mail limbs to replace the ones he lost, thus earning him the title of Full Metal Alchemist. Now the story revolves around Edwards’ efforts to restore his brothers’ body and his limbs by obtaining a powerful philosopher’s stone and also all the enemies he has to face in doing so.
2. D. Gray-man:
The main protagonist of this series titled D. Gray-man is a very young teenager by name of Allen Walker. Allen is an exorcist who is working on behalf of an organization called the Black Order which was formed to fight demons or Akuma’s.
These Akuma have come into existence by an evil entity called Millennium Earl, who creates these machine-like creatures with the powers of despair. Allen is the only exorcist who can detect any Akuma that is in disguise and the Black Order uses his ability to defeat the Akuma before they can destroy humanity. The major weapons that Allen uses to defeat these dark entities are the powers of his ‘Innocence’ and his demonic arm.
3. Hunter x Hunter:
Hunter x Hunter is another one of those Naruto alternatives which we can include in our collection. According to the story in this one, a hunter is a glamorous profession where a person gets to travel the world in search of undiscovered lands, hidden treasures and even get to hunt down and kill lawless individuals. The main character, Gon Freecss is a young hunter aspirant, who wants to join this profession and search for his missing father in the process.
But the road to becoming a licensed hunter is not an easy one, as each candidate is put through a series of rigorous physical and mental tests which are all part of a hunter’s exam. The episodes include a lot of fascinating action and adventure elements where you will get to follow the tasks that Gon and his friends will be up against in order to become a master hunter.
4. Dragon ball z:
Here is another brilliantly designed title that contains a lot of intense action sequences that you are sure to enjoy. Dragon ball z is all about a fighter by name of Goku, who discovers that he is part of an advanced and extremely powerful race called Saiyans, who had sent Goku to earth on a mission to take it over. But since he lost his memory after coming to the planet at a young age, he refuses to carry out this plan as earth becomes his home now.
Knowing this, Vegetan the prince of the Saiyans is enraged and decides to take matters into his own hands. So now Goku and his other powerfully gifted friends have to defend earth, which ultimately results on the death of this hero. This is where the Dragon balls come in as they are the substance used to revive Goku so he can now continue his mission to defend earth from Saiyans and other hostile beings.
5. Bleach:
Bleach can also come into this list of action oriented drama. In this pick you will get to watch a lot of epic sword fighting battles between the hero character and some vile supernatural spirits called Hollow. The hero we are talking about is Ichigo Kurosaki, who it seems is practically born with awesome sword-fighting skills. However, there is one unique quality that he possesses and that his ability to see spirits or souls.
This quality is one of the reasons why he is recruited to be a soul reaper (Shinigami) which is a society of fighters dedicated to vanquishing Hollows. There are many instances in this dark-themed title where you will get to witness some fast paced battles between Ichigo and other evil spirits that threaten the souls of everyone including our hero’s beloved sisters.
6. Soul Eater:
Soul Eater is the last option that we can recommend on our roster of Anime similar to Naruto that you should watch. This pick has another fighter in training type of story where the central characters out here are students in the ‘Death Weapon Meister Academy’.
The main objective of each student who enters this academy is to fight and defeat dark souls with the help of a weapon-like partner. One of characters called Maka is a Meister student in the academy and has a weapon partner Soul Eater. They will work together to fight demons in order to earn the much coveted rank of becoming a mighty Death Scythe.
Conclusion:
These are some of the best Anime like Naruto that you can get to watch. Once you begin watching the above six picks, it will become difficult for you to stop due to the solid action and interesting plots. Watching just one episode will hardly satisfy you if you a die-hard fan of action and fantasy, so you will need to set aside a decent amount of time to watch these to follow the story and understand the backgrounds of the various characters.
