Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
I know there is a lot of these requests around, but i don't really like the shows that people recommend from these threads, so i'll try to make my own.
So i am in search of a new anime that is kinda like Naruto and Dragonball.
To get a better image of what i like, i'll tell you what i like about these two shows.
Naruto:
I was hook'd from the first episode.
The story is great, i like that it's a big world where all the other countries matter.
There are a lot of people involved around the main plot of the serie and it is not just one to three people doing everything.
Everyone is involved in the ninja world.
The martial art fighting.
The way they have to outsmart their opponent in order to win (Shikamaru is a specialist).
The funny moments.
They have some sort of supernatural power that makes them stronger.
I like the training episodes where naruto gets stronger (especially the one where he invents the Rasen shuriken and sage mode) and then impresses everyone with it.
I even like the few sad moments in the show.
Dragonball:
Well i grew up with Dragonball (db dbz and dbgt) and i just enjoy it.
Big world and a lot of characters.
The martial art fighting.
They have to find their opponents weakness, or simply outpower them because of their emotions (like goku going SSJ vs. freeza because of krillins death, Gohan going ssj2 vs. cell because of android 16's death etc.)
Their supernatural powers are even more epic than in naruto.
I like the episodes where they power up and impresses everyone with how strong they really are (Gohan fighting Cell, Goku reaching ssj3 etc.)
The funny moments.
Well that is a few things i like about naruto and dragonball.
I just tried watching Bleach, but that show was just boring from the first episode. His supernatural power is that he can see ghosts? His character lacks something, he is just a tall skinny guy with a big sword.
I tried looking up some fight scene on One Piece and was not really impressed, but i havn't tried watching it yet since i am watching naruto over again (because its so fucking nice).
Death Note doesn't sound like something i would like. It seems too dark and lame.
Well this is what i had to say, and i hope that someone that feels the same way that i does, will come with a good anime that i can start watching.
Cheers
Ravn.

Everything here plus One Piece, if you ask me. Honestly a great list- check it some of those out.

Code Geass is a really good anime, you should check it out.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
Ok, i have now watched:
FullMetal Alchemist
Code GEASS
Steins;Gate
I really like fullmetal alchemist because of the storyline, and the fact that it is not in a modern time. There is no future "gadgets" and such.
Code GEASS was a bit too much with the big machines and the geass itself. The only thing that made it worth watching was the end, really surprised me.
Steins;Gate has some sweet points, you have to follow the show to keep up with all the things that are going on. I wouldnt say it was the best anime ive watched, but it was pretty good. Downside was that i couldnt find english dub for it.
I have now started watching DeathNote, which is completly different from what i thought it was. I like the way he has to think to avoid being caught by L, and they way they play mindgames on each other. I am only at episode 10 or so, so don't spoil anything!
Is there any other than the ones already mentioned?

OMG you're joking, right? You love Naruto but you...omg, how, why, what?

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
If you like fighting and having to outsmart your opponent, you could try Hajime no Ippo. Also you might want to try Samurai X.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I would recommend, at least season 1 ;p I dont really know what genre I would put it in since its like philosophical plus slice of life. Really funny show ;D sometimes maybe it can get little melancholic but not too much despite the title.
If you only seen one fight from one piece then that is not enough! One Piece must be given a proper chance for it is simply amazing!! Give it a fair chance before you brush it off. It has tons of great characters, great fights, great comedy, Luffy is also a smart fighter, and of course the story is just EPIC, it really is an EPIC! ;> Its just huge! And so creative and just wow ;> Omg I cant describe how good it is just try dude watch it more. If you dont like it after a fair chance then that is fine.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
I think Fullmetal Alchemist, One Piece and Fairy Tail would fit perfectly for you :D

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
While to me it seems like you aren't too interested in stuff that asks you to stop and think of what just happened so while I've included some stuff that is really good that you may not like I'll still put some others more like Naruto and DBZ and recommend:
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Soul Eater
Blood+
FLCL
Princess Mononoke (really anything by Hayao Miyazaki)*
Tokyo Godfathers*
Tekkonkinkreet*
.Hack//Sign
Rurouni Kenshin
Angel Beats!
ToraDora
All those with *'s are movies.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
Bleach (Unique world, Likable characters, pointless fillers just like Naruto haha)
Code Geass (Very well done)
Soul Eater (Good story)
Fairy Tail (Lot's of good and likably characters, unique world)
GinTama (because it parodies DBZ and Naruto a lot lol)
Black Cat (Because Train Heartnet!)
D.Gray-man (My favorite! lol)
Full Metal Panic! (Good Mech series, also see FMP The Second Raid)
Katekyo Hitman REBORN! (At first you're like... the hell is this? but then it gets ineteresting)
Kuroko no Basuke (If you don't mind sports anime)
Claymore (VERY intertaining, Gory, Good story)
Darker Than BLACK (Amazing lead character)
-
Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Bleach
Fairy Tail
If you liked Naruto, you'll most likely undoubtedly find Bleach, Fairy Tail, and KHR to be very good.
Obviously they all start off slow, but later on, it picks up and gets insanely epic.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
Wow, thanks alot all of you. Now i have something to watch! I will report back as soon as i've seen some more animes! :)

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
I would suggest Inuyasha.
It is funny,it has action,and is long running.
I warn,if you are a fan of romance,no matter how small,you will want to slap Inuyahsa alot.Also be warned,there are alot of fillers,but they are easy to get over.

Re: Need help to find a new anime series. (Like Naruto and Dragonball).
Ok, time for a new update!
I have finished the storyline in Bleach, which means i have skipped 2 filler arcs (the zanpakuto arc and the gotei 13 invasion arc).
Bleach is really awesome and i like how he gets stronger and stronger throughout the series.
Something that is awesome aswell is that they have this "spiritual pressure", that is almost like "energy level" in Dragonball, that shows how strong an opponent are.
I also like when they are moving faster than the eye can follow, especially when ichigo turned bankai for the first time against byakuya and when he used the final getsu against Aizen.
Right now im in the middle of watching D.Gray-Man, i've just watched the 50th episode.
This show is really boring compared to what everyone says. I have heard a lot claiming that this is their favourite show, but i don't know why.
Their powers and weapons are really lame.
They don't really get stronger or faster, and its all about the history i guess.
The villain is really retarded, they could have made him more scary and not some big lame guy that you cant even be the tiniest bit scared of.
When i watch this show i don't really have the urge to keep watching, atm i am just forcing myself into watching it to the end.
My next series will be Hitman Reborn, and i really hope its better :)

Well.. i won't say to much about One Piece because i had the same thought as you had when i looked up some fights. But oh boy am i glad i marathoned it during the summer break. I personally think the fights in One Piece have much more emotion into it... i also like the names of their attacks alot more than in Naruto because hearing Rasengan for the 200th time gets old. =/
I won't tell you should watch it, but if you liked DB and Naruto, then you owe it to yourself to give it another shot or to give it a little more time.
I also wanted to say something about Bleach, but read just a sec ago that you've already watched it for the most part. Glad you did it. Because i wanted to let you know you should give that another shot too. xD
