Yu Yu Hakusho
Anime Like Hunter x Hunter
Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime classic, up there with other 90s anime like Dragon Ball Z and Rurouni Kenshin. It’s an easy recommendation for any fan of Hunter x Hunter, considering they’re both created by the same manga artist, Yoshihiro Togashi. Because of this, you can expect a similar art style, story, and characters, even in the anime adaptions.
Yu Yu Hakusho is about a young boy named Yusuke who is struck and killed by a car, and eventually is resurrected and appointed the title of “Underworld Detective,” tasked with investigating cases involving demons and apparitions in the human world. Both Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter have a group of four main heroes, that each possess their own unique power. Although they each have their serious moments, both shows are also quite comical and have some great character development throughout their various arcs. If you haven’t watched Yu Yu Hakusho yet, you owe it to yourself not just because it’s like Hunter x Hunter, but because it’s an all-time anime classic.
