Shows that feel likeThe Owl House (2020–2023)

Luz, a self-assured teenage human girl, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to a magical new world where she befriends a rebellious witch, Eda, and an adorably tiny warrior, King.

If you loved The Owl House, the closest series we have are Star vs. the Forces of Evil (2015), KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! (2016) and Steven Universe (2013). All three share The Owl House'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 No Game No Life (2014).
