Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is another action-packed anime similar to Hunter X Hunter. It tells the tale of two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who lost their mother to an incurable disease. They turn to “alchemy” in order to revive her using the forbidden act of human transmutation. Their deed quickly backfires and they both pay a horrible price for their wrongdoing. Edward loses his leg and sacrifices his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. The traumatic event motivates Edward to fix his body using mechanical limbs called “automail” to try and become a state alchemist. His brother joins the journey as they try to find a way to revert their bodies back to their original form.

Like Hunter X Hunter, FMA: Brotherhood focuses on not so powerful characters that progress and develop as the story goes further. Both series have magical attributes that are presented in two very different ways. Another unique similarity that these shows share is, they are both remakes of an already good anime and despite the length of the series, there are zero fillers in both of them. If you want an entertaining shounen anime that is intelligently created and filled with never ending kickass fights, FMA: Brotherhood is one epic anime you don’t want to miss.

If you want another anime that doesn’t take a generic approach like Hunter X Hunter, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic is another series that will keep you entertained. The story centers on Aladdin, a young magician who carries a mystical flute with supernatural powers. He starts a journey traveling all corners of the world accompanied by Ali Baba, a teenage merchant who dreams of conquering dungeons. This is not a walk in the park adventure as these labyrinths are ruled by powerful entities called Djinns. Our heroes try to defeat these supernatural beings on their quest for fame and fortune.

Like Hunter X Hunter, this anime is also mixed with a pinch of comedy and heavy action. The main characters, Gon and Aladdin, are energetic and make a lot of friends that play important roles as the story progresses. Also, the maturity of both these characters, given their young age, is also very noticeable. Both anime also have magical powers if you are looking forward to those. What sets these two apart from other shounen anime is their deep and dark elements. It may seem pretty normal and funny at the start but they are both filled with dark secrets. If you are looking for a series packed with adventure that contains a surprisingly dark theme, Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic will definitely keep you stuck to your seat.

Jumping from Hunters to Heroes, One Punch Man is the story of Saitama, a superhero who has trained relentlessly and lost all of his hair in the process. He is the most powerful hero alive thus beating his enemies with…Yes. As the title suggests, one punch. He has become so powerful that he became quite bored from doing heroic deeds. He later meets Genos, a young cyborg who asks to be his disciple. They both join the Hero Association to gain popularity and help society by defeating all kinds of life threatening monsters.

Both of these anime look kickass awesome. The fight scenes are very detailed and the characters will automatically get stuck in your head from the moment you first see them. Also, these anime have organizations that similarly have ranks and character assessments. Threat to humanity is also a similar theme they both share and the villains are not your typical push-overs as they are wickedly strong. Let me stress the crazy fights packed in both series, given that they were made by the same studio. If you haven’t already watched One Punch Man, I suggest you drop everything you are doing right now and experience the greatness of Saitama.

Jojo no Kimyou no Bouken: Stardust Crusaders is another anime that is very fast paced like Hunter X Hunter. The story starts quickly when Joutarou Kuujou locked himself inside a Japanese jail cell as he is convinced that he is possessed by a powerful evil spirit. Holly Kuujou, his mother has asked his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, for assistance to convince him to leave the prison cell. Upon seeing his grandson’s evil spirit in physical form, Joseph explains that the power he has is what they call a “Stand”. Accompanied by Joseph’s friend, Joutarou faces another person with the same evil spirit and is forced out of prison to get some answers about his “stand”. He quickly learns that there is a much greater threat lurking around the world and the story progresses only to unravel a much darker secret that surrounds the Joestar family.

Hunter X Hunter and Jojo’s Stardust Crusaders are classic shounen anime that both feature the journey of the characters. The main protagonist is on a search to find a certain person and is accompanied by a group of very unique friends. Most of the fight scenes in both of these titles are won by strategy rather than brute strength which make them really interesting to 1watch. If you want more NEN-like action, Jojo’s Stardust Crusader also has a lot of supernatural abilities involved. The story itself is very engaging and unpredictable; it will surely get you hooked as soon as you watch the first episode.

If you want more kids with special talents, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Is another great anime that will remind you of Hunter X Hunter. Tsunayoshi Sawada is a talentless and desperate student who fails in everything. His sad and miserable fate takes a surprising turn when he meets his baby tutor named Reborn. Shockingly, Reborn is assigned the task of finding the next heir to the Vongola Mafia family. He then helps Tsuna to overcome his weaknesses while also training him to become the next Mafia boss. Complete with criminal henchmen, Tsunayoshi and Reborn take on an adventure to succeed in school and the mafia life.

Similar to Hunter X Hunter, the main characters will start weak and grow stronger by training themselves. They both have daddy issues and will do everything in their power for the sake of their friends. There are also a lot of characters that play major roles all throughout the series and some light comedy every now and then. Fighting powerful foes will also be a familiar scene as the characters develop. If you miss the long and fun journey you had while watching Hunter X Hunter, Ketekyo Hitman Reborn! will surely keep you preoccupied for days.

Akame ga Kill! is an action packed anime much like Hunter X Hunter. The story starts with Tatsumi, a well trained fighter who has left his village, which is drowning in poverty created by the authorities. He is shocked to face the truth when he realizes that the Imperial City is taken over by corruption, evil and greed from supernatural entities. He finds himself in the care of a covert group of assassins that was assembled to overthrow the current Prime Minister. Faced with a lot of challenges, the Night Raid’s ideals have convinced Tatsumi to join the group and together they must eliminate the Empire who has left their nation in ruins.

If you are looking for great fight scenes like in Hunter X Hunter, Akame ga kill! is packed with plenty of super power fights that is visually entertaining to watch. Despite the light comedy in these titles, both of these anime also have mature and dark themes added to them. The concept of killing for a good reason is also stressed as the story progresses. They both have a lot of characters who try everything to reach a certain goal and they both share the adventure genre. If you are looking for a more mature story, Akame ga kill! should give you things to think about after every episode.
