Top 5 Anime Like Hunter x Hunter
Hunter Hunter is a phenomenal first anime for many. It's a suspenseful story and interesting characters pull viewers in like light to a black hole and it has stayed on many "favourite anime List " for years. The near-decade-long hiatus though has left many non-manga readers hanging on the edge of their seats, anticipating the probable return of the series. So here are 5 anime for you to watch while we all wait for Hunter Hunter to break its hiatus if it ever does.
Number 5: Naruto
Both Main Characters are Young, Hyper-energetic, Prepubescent boys who have a dream and work hard to achieve their individual aspirations. Naruto wants to become Hokage of the Leaf Village, his hometown. Gon wants to become a hunter. Both boys want to follow a path similar to that of their fathers and meet a host of interesting and diverse characters along the way.
Number 4: One Piece
One Piece is a Very LONG anime. Currently, at the time of this blog, it has approximately 1004 episodes and it is still airing. In NO way do I expect you to start this anime in hopes of finishing it because I assure you, that is a task for the extremely bored. Monkey D. Luffy at the beginning of the long series is 17, he aspires to be a pirate in the golden age of pirates which is the setting of the anime. Both characters have an aspiration and work towards it. They have similar personalities given that Luffy tends to be a little more energetic and emotional than much younger Gon. They also share admiration for a role model in their life and strive to be like them to an extent. For Gon, this is his father who abandoned him. Luffy admires Gol d. Roger.
Number 3: Black Clover
Currently, as of this posting. Black Clover is on Hiatus which we of the anime community are very familiar with. Both anime feature similar main characters. Characters are full of sympathy and respect for their elders while being the most stubborn things alive. Their individual series follow similar premises. A boy who strives to become something and ultimately succeeds in doing just that. Black clover takes on more of a dark tone, exploring topics such as racism and the way society complements those who are already on the top rather than those who strive to be. It could also get pretty boring after a while for experienced anime viewers who by the first few episodes would have been able to predict what would happen from thereon. Overall, It is an "alright" anime for beginners who are looking for something to fall in love with again.
Number 2: Katekyo Hit Man Reborn!
I very much enjoyed this anime. At 203 episodes you can bet that it was a very slow burn. besides the time it took for the real action to happen. It was a very fun watch and always had something new to grab its viewers' attention. Both Gon and Tsuna start the series living in what seems to be a normal world. that is until both our and their perspective on how their world works to change. this happiness through characters, situations, and simply seeing for themselves things that were before sheltered from them. the premises of each series is not as similar as other anime on this list but I and others believe that it is a very enjoyable anime that mimics the love feeling I got from HxH. it won't hurt to try.
Number 1: Shaman King
Shaman King might be the most HxH like anime on this list. The premises is very similar to Hunter Hunter and it goes in more or less the same manner. The setting and world-building remind viewers a lot of HxH. The story is of a young boy who wants to be shaman king Yo wants to become Shaman king because he wants to grant others wishes. his personality sounds quite like some other kind and compassionate green spike head we know. It is the most similar to HxH in my opinion, then again. No one wants an exact copy of Hunter Hunter. we simply want something that is "similar" to our beloved Hunter Hunter.
