Naruto - My Hero Academia

Probably the most obvious to any viewer, My Hero Academia acts as the perfect successor to Naruto. For many fans of Naruto, it was hard not to notice the similarities between the show almost immediately. They both feature a young boy with lackluster abilities with a potential for greatness if given the proper the training and support.

Bleach - Jujutsu Kaisen

While quite different at a glance, Jujutsu Kaisen has managed to fill the void left by Bleach after the anime was cancelled and the manga finished in a way no other has been able to do.

One Piece - Demon Slayer

This one is arguably a bit of a stretch, but in many ways Demon Slayer has become something of a successor to One Piece. While in the last two examples the new shows shared many commonalities with their predecessors, in this situation it's more about the role that they each have played.

Honorable Mention: Black Clover

This one is a little tricky, as it no longer has an anime series, but regardless it shouldn't be ignored. What makes Black Clover important enough to mention is that it could be argued that it succeeds each of the original Big Three all at once, something that the other shows don't really do.

Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball is definitely on top of this list. From the fighting and the humour of the characters, you will surely get hooked on this anime series.

One Piece (1999)

"Are We Friends? Or Are We Foes? That Kind Of Thing You Decide Yourselves!". This line is probably one of the lines that make me want Monkey D. Luffy more.

Pokemon (1997)

Even after 24 years, I can say that Pokemon or Pocket Monsters are still in. Even the game Pokemon Go became a hit after its release. I still play it every now and then when I’m not too busy with my things.
