Anime Like Fairy Tail
One Piece
Besides Rave Master, One Piece is probably the anime that is most similar to Fairy Tail. We had to include it in this list of anime like Fairy Tail, of course!
First and foremost, this comes in the way of the two series’ heroes. Luffy is a lot like Natsu, carefree and kind of slow-witted, but courageous and loyal to the end. Both characters have an almost unending appetite for food, and they both hold a very specific power unique to themselves. For Natsu, this is his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic that lets him use his power to boost his attacks, while Luffy uses the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit to stretch his body in any way he wants.
Both of these characters are incredibly similar in not only personality, but how they continuously find a way to use new moves and powers to beat increasingly powerful enemies.
Outside of just the main characters, however, One Piece sports the same over-the-top jokey tone that Fairy Tail has. Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates are as colorful a crew as everyone from the Fairy Tail Guild, and the Shounen style of One Piece is visually quite similar as well. The good news is that if you jump into One Piece and love it, which you probably will if you like Fairy Tail, there’re over 700 episodes to keep you going. It’s one of the most popular anime series of all time for good reason.
