Naruto and Ranma 1/2 are both martial arts-based with magical twists; deal with school, learning, and fighting; and almost complement each other. Although Ranma 1/2 is milder, Naruto is a refreshing burst of maturity, and Ranma is a childish reminder of carefree days. Anyone who likes one will be addicted instantly to the other.
Naruto and Ranma ½ vary greatly in animation style, yet the characters parallel each other. Naruto and Ranma ½ contain martial arts and unrealistic yet fun to watch special moves that each character can offer. Naruto and Ranma, the main characters respectively, mirror each other in their cluelessness toward others' feelings. They are short tempered, not the brightest, but ready to fight for what they believe in. Overall, these two titles are sure to provide laughter because of the distinct personalities of each character, but also provide for sweet martial arts action.
