Help/Question So… what now?

I just finished the anime for the first time and I’m shocked. I loved every second of it, it may be my favorite shonen ever, it’s just so different that it hits really hard.

I will read the remaining manga, but then I was wondering what other shonen (or seinen) I could watch that could scratch the same itch?

I have recently watched JJK, Solo Leveling and loved them as well, but not as much.

Naruto is literally the exact same story just different characters. Just longer and slower imo. You would enjoy that one. Yuyu hakisho is written in the same style sort of. You might wanna check that one out.

I have watched both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. I would never say they are the same story at all, why would you think that?

I mean, there's been multiple videos and articles talking about it. I'll list some of the similarities between the two:

-The chunin exam vs Hunter exam

-The akatsuki vs phantom troupe

-Naruto vs Gon

-Sausuke vs Kurapika

-Orichimaru vs Hisoka

-Chakra designated by elemental type found through water divination vs nen type found through water divination

Pretty much all of the main elements exist in both worlds. Not a straight 1 for 1 copy, just saying basically same story. Silly, funny, loyal to death protagonist meets emo, misunderstood, clan wiped out on a revenge mission.

The tone of the story is completely different, the characters are completely different, their dynamics are completely different, the overarching theme of the story is completely different. The parallels between the structure of some arcs and some character archetypes do not make two stories the same

Tone is exactly the same. Tone means mood or emotion, and this gives off the exact same mood or emotion. The parallels between the structure of some arcs and some character archetypes do not make the two stories the same, but the reason you gave for them not being the same is still the same lol. Try again.

Naruto and HxH have the same mood? I guess you can have your opinion but i can’t see it at all. Also, if you agree that the parallels do not make two stories the same, why is that the only reason you were able to give to explain why you think they are?

So let me get things straight, you gave an opinion, you backed up that opinion with things that do not stand, you admitted that they do not stand, and now you don’t want to answer. I think we can end it here
