Urameshi and Ichigo are similar. Both are delinquents, initially have no powers, and gain powers to fight spirits after meeting a female sent from the "spirit realm" to the "human realm." The Chapter Black arc in Yu Yu Hakusho and The Lost Substitute Shinigami / Fullbring Arc in Bleach are similar. Both have villains that are predecessors to Urameshi and Ichigo. The Lost Substitute Shinigiami Arc is likely inspired by the Chapter Black arc from Yu Yu Hakusho.

...then you might like Saint Seiya add

Both animes have similar art styles, have a tournament arc, and feature the main characters going through a trial of fighting strong enemies one by one. Both animes also contain a main character looking for their sister. Hiei is similar to Ikki in personality and shares similar plot points. Kurama's design is similar to the designs of Shun and the Gold Saint Pisces Aphrodite, as they all have feminine features and long hair. Additionally, Kurama uses whip-like weapons like Shun and holds a flower like Pisces Aphrodite.

...then you might like Fairy Tail add

The main characters of Fairy Tail are similar and inspired by the main characters of Naruto. Natsu = Naruto Gray = Sasuke Lucy = Sakura Erza and Sakura aren't similar personality-wise but they do share a similar plot point. Both series involve characters that go on missions, have a tier system for missions, and both require passing an exam/trial to take higher-ranked missions. The final arcs of Fairy Tail and Naruto are similar. I even believe Fairy Tail pays homage to Naruto in its final arc.

The Eminence in Shadow is almost like an isekai parody of Code Geass. Shadow = Zero -Both characters share similar designs, possess secret identities, exhibit overpowering abilities, demonstrate intelligence, and command formidable organizations. Shadow Garden = The Black Knights -Both organizations consist of strong members and seek to destroy an enemy that wants to rule the world.

...then you might like Hunter x Hunter (2011) add

Hunter x Hunter and Naruto share many similarities since Naruto is partially inspired by Hunter x Hunter. *Gon and Naruto both grew up without parents and want to take exams as a step towards becoming stronger (Hunter exams/Chunin exams). They also share attacks inspired by the Kamehameha from Dragon Ball (Jajanken/Rasengan). *Kurapika and Sasuke both have red eyes that make them more powerful at the cost of harm to themselves, are from clans where everyone can turn their eyes red, and both seek revenge. *Illumi and Itachi are both older brothers who manipulate their younger brothers (Killua/Sasuke), join criminal organizations (Phantom Troupe/Akatsuki), and have long black hair. *Hisoka and Orochimaru are both oddly obsessed with kids who have the potential to be powerful. They also both have pale white designs. *Both series have criminal organizations with strong fighters that accept missions involving killing people for money (Phantom Troupe/Akatsuki)

If you liked Naruto add

...then you might like Jujutsu Kaisen add

Jujutsu Kaisen draws heavy inspiration from Naruto, with many plot points in Jujutsu Kaisen bearing similarities to those in Naruto. I can't mention much without spoiling both series. However, I only recommend watching Jujutsu Kaisen if you want to watch fights due to its poor world-building and lack of meaningful character interactions. The main characters in Jujutsu Kaisen mirror the main characters in Naruto. Naruto = Yuji Sasuke = Megumi Sakura = Nobara Kakashi = Gojo Additionally, there are other characters I believe to be inspired by Naruto in design and personality. Shikamaru = Kokichi/Mechamaru Tsunade = Yuki There are only a few strong female characters in both series, and stronger male characters overshadow them. Although, female characters are treated better in Naruto. The Kyoto Goodwill Event arc in JJK appears to take inspiration from Naruto's Chunin Exams arc. In JJK, the students battle in a forest reminiscent of Naruto's Forest of Death during the Chunin Exams. Both arcs feature competitors from different regions participating in a competition, such as the Kyoto and Tokyo schools in JJK and the Hidden Leaf and Sand villages in Naruto. Additionally, there are parallels in the beginning of the arcs, as the Kyoto students haze the Tokyo students similar to how the Sand genin hazed the Hidden Leaf genin. Moreover, without giving away any spoilers, both arcs in Naruto and JJK culminate in similar events towards their conclusions.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Both main protagonists believe in a secret organization conspiring against them and have an otaku friend they've known since high school, helping them with their problems. Both series come across as quirky and outlandish before turning dark halfway through. Although, Steins;Gate foreshadows the series turning dark in the first episode, while in Welcome to the NHK, it's not apparent it would turn dark.
