Shows that feel likeNaruto Shippūden (2007–2017)

After 2 and a half years Naruto finally returns to his village of Konoha, and sets about putting his ambitions to work. It will not be easy though as he has amassed a few more dangerous enemies, in the likes of the shinobi organization; Akatsuki.

If you loved Naruto Shippūden, the closest series we have are Naruto (2002), Ben 10: Alien Force (2008) and Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). All three share Naruto Shippūden's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Alchemy of Souls (2022).
