Short introduction
Fifteen-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki is a typical teen with fighting skills, two caring sisters and a special trait: he can see ghosts. However, when Ichigo and his family find themselves under attack by a huge beast, Ichigo discovers that there’s more to the supernatural world than the everyday specter. Vengeful spirits known as Hollows roam the world in search of devouring souls, and Shinigami – soul reapers – work tirelessly to defeat them and guide normal ghosts into a place called Soul Society. Ichigo valiantly fights the Hollow that threatens his sisters, but on the verge of defeat a Shinigami named Rukia gives him her powers, turning him into a Shinigami himself. Ichigo must now adjust to his new life of both vanquishing and saving souls for the sake of Soul Society.

Bleach and FullMetal Alchemist are both action-packed animes, featuring a spunky male lead who combats evil and, in general, plays the hero, all the while sporting a fairly combative attitude. While they put up a tough front, both have a sensitive side, and are very caring and willing to defend the weak and fight for justice. Although Alchemy and Shinigami abilities are very different, they have that same element of fantasy. The plots in each are larger than one would give them credit for in the beginning. As the plots slowly unfold, the battles are becoming more intense, and manage to hold the viewers’ attention.

In addition, there are a lot of crazy and wacky side characters who lighten up the mood of otherwise dark stories. They are both very well written, jumping between light and dark moments with a re-evaluation of whether the enemies are actually evil or just victims.

With this strange device, Kazuki gains the power of Busou Renkin — Arms Alchemy; a power that will come in handy when monsters (and worse) begin to plague his town! Kazuki soon meets the girl from his “dream” (named Tokiko) in reality, and she tells Kazuki to get on with his life; but with his sister and friends in danger, that might not be possible.

The worlds of Bleach and Yu Yu Hakusho are pretty similar. Both worlds feature a “heaven” and “hell”, and a teenage main character who can both see and fight spirits. Bleach centers around a guy who is negative towards others, but gradually gains friends he trusts and would gladly give his life for. Yusuke is quite similar in that aspect. They both gain some unworldly power and are able to become stronger at a rate that surpasses all others. Also, both main characters fight for what they believe in and will never leave anyone behind.

A meister’s ultimate goal is to collect ninety-nine pre-kishin souls and one of a witch so that his or her partner will become an all-powerful Death Scythe. Maka and her partner Soul Eater; Assassin Black Star and his partner Demon Blade Tsubaki; and Shinigami’s son Death the Kid and his partners the Demon Twin Pistol Thompson Sisters each vie for their ultimate goal, but plenty of challenges and adventures lie in their way!
Number of Episodes: 51

Soul Eater and Bleach revolve around the death and after life of humans while sharing many of the same motives, for instance, both tell the tale of the protagonist wielding a huge weapon that is a living spirit.

Finally, Bleach and Soul Eater each have a good mix of action and drama, while keeping a flare for comedy.
1. Naruto

With his inability to perform even the most basic ninja techniques, it seems that all Naruto has going for him is his determination to succeed no matter what. Teamed up with the genius Sasuke, book-smart Sakura, and their team leader Kakashi, Naruto embarks on his quest to become the Hokage. But with outside forces posing a threat to the entire Hidden Leaf village, Naruto discovers that he must become much stronger if he ever wants to realize his dream and protect the friendships he’s forged.
Number of Episodes: 220
Release Year: 2002 – 2007
Naruto and Bleach are two vastly different animes, yet at the same time they are amazingly similar. Both series are about a boy with vast powers that at times they don’t understand, looming in the background and threatening to overtake them if they don’t gain control. Though the plots start a bit slow, each soon dives head first into action through story arcs that build and affect the character development. The characters are easy to relate to, plus they all have emotions and their own uniqueness. Another trait that both share is the comedic aspect that is often present. Both are serious at the right times and full of stunning plot twists and turns. The fight scenes are amazing, full of action, and unique in every battle.
