One Piece is known as the best-selling Manga of all time. It is considered one of the most consistent long anime in history.
While the story talks about Luffy and his goal of becoming the King of the Pirates, there are tens of mysterious things in the world of One Piece and an entire century that was erased from history. One Piece can make you feel the intimidating scale of powers without showing the actual fight of those characters. The manga has exceeded 1058 chapters, with each chapter being one whole Episode in the anime.
Anime that is similar to One Piece will be decided based on many things. The long journey for the main character, the friends they met on the way, the hidden mystery in the world, the adventures and silly moments of the crew, and many others.

Each Grim Reaper has its own special weapon. Their weapons can have two forms, with the second form being achieved with Bankai. Bleach will be coming back in October! Non-Bleach watchers better hurry up!!
2. Naruto
Everyone knows Naruto. Most anime watchers started with this show. But, if you happen to be one of the people who haven’t watched it, now it’s your chance. The show is about a kid named Naruto who was shunned by the village and labeled as a monster.

But don’t be fooled by this show’s happy atmosphere. HxH is a dark, gory, and twisted show with so much death and so much blood. The Phantom Troupe Arc and the Ant Arc are considered one of the best Anime Arcs of all time.

7. DragonBall
Love it or Hate it, DragonBall is the King of all anime. It is the major inspiration for many shows in the future. Iconic moves like Kamehameha had fans screaming their lungs along the character. Goku is an alien who landed on earth as a little baby.

The only issue is that he can’t use magic, he was born without any magical ability. Thus, it wouldn’t make sense to become a Wizard King. Although many told Asta to give up, he didn’t, and his life turned around with a magical book, the Grimoire, that enchanted him with powers.

10. JoJo
Whenever someone talks about JoJo, I like to put it in a whole different category. It’s not that JoJo is the best anime, it just shouldn’t be compared with normal anime shows. JoJo currently has six parts, with each part moving the title of the protagonist to a different character.
It all starts with Jonathan and Dio, two non-related brothers who rival each other. The kind-hearted Jonathan learns of Dio’s schemes to inherit the family’s wealth, and now he must stop him once and for all.

However, those humans will be granted this ability only after a certain condition is met. Follow the Story of Evans and his wielder’s Maka as they work together to fight under the Academy’s name.
14. Gintama
Gintama is the ultimate parody for every anime. It has mentioned One Piece and becoming the King of the pirates, mentioned Goku, and mimicked his Kamehameha move. This show is filled with jokes and constantly fueled with more by the characters.
Shinpachi, Gintoki, Kagura, and many others always end up in hilarious situations. Gintama isn’t afraid to break the 4th wall either. However, Gintama also provides a storyline and serious scenes that will leave you shocked.
15. Magi
Searching for treasure, power, and wealth is now much easier than ever due to the rise of new places around the world. Those places are called Dungeons, and each location is ruled over by a powerful being. If someone proves to be more worthy, then the terrifying power will be passed on to them.
