add recHunter x Hunter has the same mood and feel of Law of Ueki when you are watching it. The plot of Law of Ueki is similar to that of Hunter X Hunter. I also think that you would find some of the characters to be the same in a funny way.
Both anime incorporate extremely varied fighting techniques, which produce very entertaining fights. Also, the main characters are both easily likable which is one of the most important things.
However, while Hunter X Hunter is more plot driven, Law of Ueki is all about the fights and gags.
Both Hunter x Hunter and Law of Ueki are about slightly simple people who just about always manage to pull through in the clutch and never give up no matter what. The series are both rather humourous, but not without a serious side.
The similarities in some of the battle scenes and skills gave me the impression that Law of Ueki was the predecessor to Hunter X Hunter, but after a little research I learned that not only were they not directly related, Law of Ueki was made after the last Hunter OVA.

add recThe tournament to become God or the tournament to become Shaman King? Competitors gather around Ueki and Yoh because they like their personality and convictions and together they go to the trounament to defeat people who want to use the prize for evil. These two anime have very similar structures and main characters so if you enjoyed one you should enjoy the other.
Although I've not finished watching Shaman King myself (yet) it's already displayed a strong tournament theme similar to that of Ueki. Both contain fights which are organised by a higher power, and both main characters have opponents they either look forward to fighting, or don't really want to fight. If you like anime where the action is a bit more structured, these two are for you.
Both these shows take place during a large tournament, to become God or the Shaman King. There are a few main characters, with new friends and enemies appear every few episodes. There's plenty of life lessons including friendship and trust. The characters are similar in the way that some are just wacky looking so you remember them.
Konjiki no Gash Bell!!

In return, Kiyomaro must help discover the secrets behind Gash Bell’s amnesia and his past, with only a red book as a clue.

add recGash Bell and Law of Ueki remind me an awful lot of each other, though not for anything tangible. Yes, both are shounen... but beyond that, they each have a similar blend of random comedy, action, and battles. As each of these series is fairly unique in this regard, I think this is a good recommendation. If you liked one, try out the other!
If you enjoyed The Law of Ueki you might also be interested in looking at Zatch Bell! They both share the same basic story element of getting a power and participating in a tournament to become king with many side adventures along the way. So if you like the idea of a teen acquiring powers, getting into lots of battles and entering into a tournament to become king then Zatch Bell would be a good anime to check out.
In both anime there are a lot of battles that will determine who will be the new king of an world seperated from the human world. there a a lot of candidates that come to fight and they have special powers. So if you like one of these anime you'd like the other one. Zatch bell and The Law Of Ueki have a similar plot, but each anime is unique.
Naruto
Naruto Uzumaki is a young ninja who bears a great power hidden inside him, a power that has isolated him from the rest of his village. As such, his only dream is to become the Hokage - the most powerful ninja, and leader of the village; but first he needs to graduate! 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.

add recBoth anime incorporate extremely varied fighting techniques, which produce very entertaining fights. Also, both are (for the most part) a light-hearted anime.
They both have a tendency to make the "bad guys" seem like good guys who are just misunderstood or were led astray at some point, too. Oh what happened to the good old days when a villain was just evil, instead of a deeply-hurt and emotionally-scarred tree-hugger?
While Naruto has more story depth and episodes of the two, Law of Ueki will more than likely be the funner ride.
In both Naruto and Law of Ueki there is action and comedy. The characters have special powers and want to protect everyone, and both of them make friends with almost all of their enemies.

add recBecause they both have tournaments. And this anime has an adventure filled with comedy just like Law of Ueki. It's a shounen anime, therefore, I can also recommend Flame of Recca.
One's based around Flames (or Ninjas as the anime likes to call it) while the other is based around Plants/Trees...at the end of the day, they are both typical shonen animes...if you like one, you'll def. like the other...and if you don't like one, there's very little that's different in the other (similar stories, typical boy/girl relationships, enemies that later become friends and so on)Y
