If you liked Naruto: Shippuuden add

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

Hunter x Hunter is pretty much what Naruto COULD have been, and personally, I'm surprised it doesn't get more recognition. It could easily replace Naruto as one of the Big Three. So, if you're disappointed in Kishi for wasting his potential like I am, here are a few good reasons to turn to HxH. - Characters: HxH has a large cast of memorable characters that feel more fleshed out. One of Naruto's strong points was the secondary cast, which was tragically underdeveloped, but HxH makes up for that by having an interesting main cast AND secondary cast. Here's a "quick" comparison of some of the characters. - Killua respects Gon as a comrade and an equal and values his friendship, and they also value each other's thoughts and ideas without judgement. Naruto and Sasuke bicker almost constantly, and Sasuke laughs in his face when he offers his help. Gon and Killua's friendship more or less forms the emotional core of the story, and unlike with Naruto and Sasuke, it does a good job. - On Kurapika's mission for revenge, he refuses his friends' help because he doesn't want to put them in danger. Sasuke believes he doesn't need friends at all. I'm not really knocking Sasuke's character for this, but I still don't like it. - The Phantom Troupe could be compared to the Akatsuki in a few ways without saying either one is superior. Most notably, the Troupe works as a collective and sticks together, even mourning their dead comrades, while everyone in the Akatsuki has their own hidden agenda but is more or less forced to work together by circumstance. Combat: Battle is the core of most shonen anime, and HxH's combat is concise, fast-paced, and based on real strategy as opposed to Sharingan asspulls. In place of chakra, HxH has nen, which creates almost endless possibilities for special powers and really works well. Story: Gon's goal of meeting his father is much simpler than becoming Hokage, but the journey that eventually leads him there is an interesting one. It is divided into six arcs, each having a unique flavor while still meshing well together. Particularly, the exam arc at the beginning is about half as long as the Chuunin Exams and feels very challenging. The Chimera Ant arc in particular is an emotional rollercoaster and definitely the high point of the series. At 61 episodes, it's the longest arc, but doesn't suffer fatigue unlike the war arc in Naruto I would last like to talk about how HxH deals with its villains. You're not expected to sympathize with them most of the time, but they don't feel generic or one-dimensional. When it does make its villains sympathetic, it does it through their character development. Naruto likes to trick you into thinking its villains are sympathetic by giving you a Tragic Backstory after all the time it spent making them out to be generic bad guys. However, villains in HxH, especially Meruem in the CA arc, become more sympathetic through their development. I won't spoil anything else, but it does it well. If you're in need of a long shonen series that's also GOOD, then please give this series a try.
