One Piece
Synopsis:
Long ago the infamous Gol D. Roger was the strongest and most powerful pirate on the seas. As he was about to be executed he revealed that he hid all of his wealth, including the legendary treasure known as One Piece, on an island at the end of the Grand Line - a treacherous and truly unpredictable sea. Monkey D. Luffy is a spirited, energetic and somewhat dim-witted young man with a very big dream: to find One Piece and become the Pirate King! However Luffy is no ordinary boy, as when he was younger he ate one of the Devil's Fruits and gained its power to become a Rubber Man. Now in this grand age of pirates Luffy sets out to gather a crew and sail to the most dangerous sea in the world so that he can fulfill his dream... and maybe even his appetite!

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 recThe action in One Piece is great and a similar thing can be said about Naruto. If you liked one, try the other and see what I mean.
One Piece and Naruto are very much alike. Both are funny, and the episodes are almost never-ending, so the fun will never stop!
In One Piece there are pirates, and in Naruto there are ninjas; while that isn't a similarity, both stories are about the main characters and their goal to become something big. On the way to reach their goal very much happens including friendship, enemies and much more.
You can't like one of them without liking the other.
If you are a fan of One Piece, check out Naruto!
In both series, the main character is a comical, but enduring person. They differ in that Naruto only understands those that have experiences close to his own, while Luffy has a knack for understanding a situation before anyone else. Their core principals are remarkable similar: stand by your dream, no matter what. And in their pursue of their dreams, both make lasting friendships that they stand by no matter what. In the end, both shows attempt to make you feel like you can take on the world, which is rare these days.
It's hard to not pick Naruto for its shounen appeal. Naruto is the clear replacement for the Dragon Ball series. Where Naruto excels is the broader line-up of characters you meet, and keeping the story-line focus and closed. Just like One Piece, it's about becoming stronger and better.
If you like the action in One Piece (beat 'em 'up challenges), you'll definitely enjoy the battles and fights in Naruto.
I think One Piece and Naruto resemble each other in many ways. They both have action and comedy, they both have characters who fight with special (magic) powers, and these characters have a dream of becoming something and always want to protect their friends. A difference is the drawing style; if you've watched Naruto first, then you might have to get used to the drawing style of One Piece, but that'll probably happen quite fast. Anyways, I'm sure you'll like one, if you've liked the other.
Both One Piece and Naruto are funny, action-packed, long, have many fight scenes, and need to be watched; they are both classics, and can give you a good laugh.
One Piece is a hillarious anime! Well, so is Naruto. That might be the only reason for a one to wacth both of them! Luffy reminds me of Naruto sooo much (with the exception of Luffy being a bit smarter!!!). They both act stupid but are also very close to their nakama. Both Naruto and Luffy have a dream, that one might consider impossible, but their determination never stops them! They fights of the Naruto shinobi and the One Piece pirates are intense and enjoyable! Yes, if you've watched one of these 2 anime, you should defenitely watch the other!
Both place alot on friendship been a key part in winning a fight. Both are action packed with the main person and their friends fighting to reach their goals.
Naruto wish to become the Hokage, the best ninja in the village.
In One Piece Luffy wants to become the pirate king, both Naruto and One Piece is stories about people who are trying to make there dreams come true, they are full of exiting adventures and fighting scenes.
The main character for both series are comical yet a bit dull in the head. They are both strong people who value friendship and are ruled by instinct or emotion. Fighting scenes and excitment are evident in both of these stories.
Both Luffy of One Piece and Naruto of... well... Naruto are similar in character. They are both nobodies that dream of being the greatest they can become. Luffy as the Pirate King and Naruto as the Hokage. If you enjoy watching a person overcome any obstacles in their way in order to achive a desired goal and make tons of colorful freinds on the way then both Naruto and One Piece are for you.
Though the subject matter is very different, both One Piece and Naruto have strong central characters with an unwavering dream. If you liked the determination of the protagonists and the action packed aspect of one, then you may want to check out the other.
Naruto and One Piece's story seems to be alike. They have both goals to become the Hokage and the Pirate King. Both Naruto and Luffy are alike because of their attitude.
I know a long-standing hatred exist between pirates and ninjas, but it's hard to not recommend Naruto and One Piece together: The long, desperate fights; a huge cast of characters; familar themes; and more episodes than I would, or could, asorb in three months. The final word: watch the other if you liked either one, when you have the time.

add recOne Piece and Hunter X Hunter share the same depth of story with similar elements -- action, adventure, comedy -- ranging from light-hearted fun to gripping drama. Both series starts out with the main character gathering friends, and throughout the series the interaction between characters shows the depth of friendship they have. Both series have the same grand, epic adventure premise (Luffy to become the Pirate King, Gon to become a Hunter). Along the way they'll meet up with tough opponents, and through each challenge they become stronger Both series are easy to follow, but Hunter X Hunter is the more action-packed of the two.
One Piece and Hunter X Hunter are shounen anime where a strong character works towards his lifetime goal, growing along the way. Both have a long story that is sometimes interrupted for some fun ass kicking.
The protagonists in both series are very similar in moral and in heart. One Piece's Luffy and Hunter x Hunter's Gon both possess a natural simplicity that dictates their actions and outlook on life. They are both doers, keeping the big picture always in sight. Morally and ethically, both Gon and Luffy are one and the same. The drawing factor for many fans of these two series is the likeability of their main characters; both protagonists are enviably righteous and true, characteristics of which good people strive to achieve everyday. Fans of either one will undoubtedly find the enjoyment of the other.
The first thing to hit me about HxH was the similarity between Gon and Luffy. The two main male leads come across as very simple people who ask very little of life, but dedicate themselves to their friends and nakama.
The formula between HxH and One Piece is very similar - a band of seemingly unlikely heroes fighting against the odds towards their ultimate goal. They both blend together action, adventure and comedy and fans of one will definitely enjoy the other.

add recIf the fight scenes in One Piece were what interested you the most, you'll like Bleach.
Both One Piece and Bleach have strong characters, action, and stories that have episodes that keep you coming back for more. If you like action anime with a great story and humor, these are two shows for you.
Bleach and One Piece aren't that much alike. One Piece has a totally different animation style than Bleach and is about pirates, while Bleach is about Shinigami; but still, they both have a lot of action, comedy, sad moments and cool fighting scenes. They are both long, so you can enjoy them for a long time. If you liked one, you'll like the other.
Both are about a guy who gains a mystic power, they team up with other with skills to help reach their goals. Both animes ar action packed with parts of comedy too.

add recBoth series have an excellent atmosphere of outlaw adventures, be it a bags of gold, being chased by law enforcers or glorious escapes from jail. Both series also have really outstanding character designs: even the secondary characters which don't appear on the screen for long are thought over and fun to see. You won't see a saw-nosed man other than in One Piece, but you could see a smoking cupid with rifle in Jing.
When I first saw Monkey D. Luffy, determined to make himself King of the Pirates, instantly I remembered Jing, the selfnamed King of Bandits. They travel over the world with their best friends searching for treasures and adventures having a lot of fun.
Both series have an excellent atmosphere of freedom from oppression, being chased by law enforcers or glorious escapes from jail.

add recOne Piece is an anime that's about friendship and friends you need to protect. In One Piece there is an captain that has to protect them all and in Hitman Reborn it is the new Vongola Boss, Tsuna, who needs to protect them from time to time, and of course, sometimes the other way around. That's what's so simular between these animes and that's why you'll love Hitman Reborn.
Every time I watch both series I feel a kind of strong similrity between them: the ones need to protect, the strong relation between the main characters, the wonderful comedy, the great action, and the main point is that One Piece is giving its unique view of pirates, and so do Hitman Reborn with the Mafia. If you enjoyed one of them, be sure to watch the other!
It's a great adventure anime, I really enjoyed both and liked both :). I hope you will too! They both evolve around a GROUP of characters, and not only one main character who gets stronger etc. They ALL get stronger. They both have comedy in, which is always good for an anime :)
Enjoy them both :D
