Top 10 Anime Like Hunter x Hunter 2024
Jun
With Hunter x Hunter’s irregular schedules and updates, here are 15 great anime to watch while waiting for the next chapter of Gon’s adventures. Hunter x Hunter is widely regarded as a masterpiece shounen anime. It has everything a person could want: memorable characters, fantastic story arcs, deep worldbuilding, and arguably the best and most detailed power system in any anime. There was an anime adaptation back in 1999, but the one that people are most familiar with is the 2011 anime. That anime ended in 2014 but the manga continues where the anime left off.
Well, apart from Hunter x Hunter, there are lots of nice anime to watch, here’s top 10 anime for you to enjoy. Let’s find out!
Seven Deadly Sins
First up on this list is Seven Deadly Sins. When the kingdom of Liones is taken over by the traitorous Holy Knights, Princess Elizabeth must seek the help of the Seven Deadly Sins, the kingdom’s most wanted criminals. Like Hunter x Hunter, Seven Deadly Sins is an action-adventure anime on a grand scale.
Seven Deadly Sins features a large cast of memorable characters and a story full of twists and turns. The fight scenes are also to be commended. Taking a page from Hunter x Hunter’s playbook, the fight scenes in this anime require more strategy than typical anime action scenes.

Made In Abyss
At first glance, Made in Abyss seems like a fun, lighthearted anime about adventuring in a mysterious land in search of wondrous relics, but the more you watch, the darker the themes get. That’s something many Hunter x Hunter fans went through when they first started the series thinking it was going to be a fun anime about a boy going on adventures with his friends only to find dark themes about losing one’s humanity.
If Hunter x Hunter has left you craving for a well-executed, adventure-focused anime filled with compelling drama, stunning art, and beautiful—and often terrorizing—music, then Made in Abyss is the anime for you.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
If you’re looking for an anime with a unique power system that has oddly specific rules like Nen in Hunter x Hunter, look no further than JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Like how Nen abilities have specific rules and conditions that must be met to be used, Stand abilities are usually very specific, like a Stand that can control someone’s movements but only through the person’s wounds and the Stand has to be above the target. Like Nen in Hunter x Hunter creates more cerebral fights, the conditions and limitations of Stands leads to battles that require strategy more than brute strength.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
If you love Hunter x Hunter and haven’t seen Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, do yourself a favor and go watch it. Like, right now. The anime follows two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, searching for the Philosopher’s Stone to restore their bodies, which were lost when they used alchemy to try to bring their mother back to life. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the perfect anime to watch if Hunter x Hunter left you wanting well-developed characters and a story that explores deep themes.

My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia is great if you’re looking for the fun, dynamic fights scenes that you’re used to in Hunter x Hunter. Featuring a large cast of memorable characters, My Hero Academia is the story of young Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where almost everyone has powers and his journey to become the greatest superhero.
The anime could have taken the easy route and made the fight scenes all about strength, but during battle, the characters have to be strategic with using their powers, which should be right up your alley if you’re a fan of Hunter x Hunter’s fights.

One Piece
Hunter x Hunter is an anime with a grand scale of adventure that few anime have been able to match as well as One Piece.
The anime centers on a young man named Monkey D. Luffy who dreams of becoming a pirate captain and finding the legendary One Piece treasure left behind by Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King. One Piece is the longest running anime on this list but you only need to watch a few episodes to fall in love with its swashbuckling adventure and ensemble cast of characters.

Yu Yu Hakusho
What better anime is there to watch if you love Hunter x Hunter than Yu Yu Hakusho, an anime made by the same creator? Yoshihiro Togashi created Yu Yu Haskusho before Hunter x Hunter but both anime have a similar feel.
Yu Yu Hakusho follows Yusuke Urameshi, who died saving a young boy and becomes an underworld detective, solving mysteries concerning demons that have been let loose upon the human world. This classic anime explores themes similar to Hunter x Hunter and the characters can be seen as precursors to the characters in Hunter x Hunter. If you love Hunter x Hunter, it’s very difficult to imagine that you wouldn’t like Yu Yu Hakusho.
Dr. Stone
Dr. Stone is focused on the story of Senku and his friends whose lives change forever when a strange phenomenon turns the entire population of humans on earth into stone. Thousands of years later, Senku wakes up but finds himself living in the Stone-Age once again. With nothing but his brain to aid him, Senku sets off on an incredible adventure.
Just like Hunter X Hunter, the story of Dr. Stone sees a prodigious protagonist adventure across the unknown. If that’s something you enjoyed about Hunter X Hunter, you’ll definitely love Dr. Stone as well.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba
A story written incredibly well, Kimetsu no Yaiba is certainly one that could rival the likes of Hunter x Hunter. The anime premiered in early 2019 and was treated to a mind-blowing reception. The adaptation by Ufotable was precisely what the show needed, however, the story for the anime is its strongest asset.
Demon Slayer follows the story if Tanjiro who lives in a world where demons exist among humans. Tanjiro’s days go by in peace right until his sister gets turned into a demon as well. Ready to give up everything to return her back to normal, Tanjiro sets out on an incredible journey that sees many others join him with different goals in their minds.

The Promised Neverland
Speaking of Demons, we have another masterpiece which Hunter x Hunter fans will absolutely adore. The Promised Neverland anime is kind of similar to the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter, although a bit darker, and there is no Nen for kids to defend themselves from Demons who see them as livestock.
The story follows the journey of Emma, who lives happily among other children in an orphanage run by a sister. Often, children are sent off to families willing to adopt them. When Emma tries to say goodbye to her sister, she finds out that none of what they’re told is true. Instead of being sent to new families, the children are eaten by the demons. With no escape, Emma must plan with her allies to save everyone from meeting inevitable doom.
