Shows that feel likePercy Jackson and the Olympians (2023–)

Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus's master bolt and stop an all-out war. With the help of his friends Annabeth and Grover, Percy's journey will lead him closer to the answers he seeks: how to fit into a world where he feels out of place, and who he's destined to be.

If you loved Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the closest series we have are Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024) and ONE PIECE (2023). All three share Percy Jackson and the Olympians' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Odyssey (1997).

Bullies often target someone frail and weak—someone exactly like Yûgi Muto. He treasures his Millennium Puzzle, an ancient Egyptian artifact that was brought into his grandfather's game shop. Believing that solving the puzzle will grant him his wish, he completes the puzzle, unleashing a new personality within him, the soul of the "King of Games." The new personality named Yami Yûgi is the exact opposite of Yûgi. Upon any injustice toward him, Yami Yûgi takes over Yûgi's body and forces the opponent into a "Shadow Game".
