Shows that feel likeBoruto: Naruto Next Generations (2017–)
If you loved Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the closest series we have are Fairy Tail (2009), The God of High School (2020) and Ranma1/2 (2024). All three share Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold (2015).
If Boruto: Naruto Next Generations hit the spot, these will too

A found family of fighters where bonds power every victory
The difference: A massive episode count with even more filler to wade through

Ferociously animated martial-arts clashes between gifted kids
The difference: One rushed season — the spectacle sprints past the story

The same two preoccupations: martial arts, and based on manga
The difference: Played as sci-fi & fantasy first

A son training in his legendary father's long shadow
The difference: Grisly adult muscle-worship — no charm, no ninja mischief

Underdog kids solving impossible problems with teamwork and grit
The difference: Brains over jutsu — most battles here are ideas

A gifted boy learning that power matters less than growing up
The difference: Tight and complete in three seasons — no sprawl to live inside

Two things both keep coming back to: anime and adventure

Training arcs, rivalries, and battles that shake the whole planet
The difference: A trimmed retread of a decades-old classic — no next generation

Common ground in both: supernatural and superpowers

Common ground: supernatural

Both are working the same pair: spin off, shounen
The difference: Goes its own way on the wit

One thread runs through both: based on manga
