Fairy Tail is one of the most popular magic anime of all time, if not the most popular. Are there similar anime with similar stories and themes? Today we are going to list some anime similar to Fairy Tail.
Reminding Suki Desu readers that we already have an article talking about the fantasy animes. Some anime mentioned in this article may be a little obvious, since the vast majority are quite famous.
Remembering that Fairy Tail is not popular for its magic, but for its adventure, action and complex story. So the anime listed in this article are not necessarily all with magic.

Magi: The labyrinth of magic
When we talk about anime similar to Fairy Tail, the first one that comes to mind is Magi, precisely because it also has magic as a theme. The anime mixes popular stories from Aladdin and Alibaba.
The anime tells the story of Aladdin who leaves his home to explore the world together with his mentor Ugo. Aladdin befriends Alibaba and they both decide to conquer the labyrinths called Dungeons.
There are several dungeon labyrinths scattered around the world, they were created by mages known as Magi. In the labyrinths are Djinns that are the creatures that grant power to those who complete them.

Hunter x Hunter - Another complete universe
My favorite anime, with a complete and unique universe, considered one of the best anime of all time by many. The anime has two versions, the most recent with 148 episodes and adapting the best arcs of the manga.
The anime's synopsis is very simple, it focuses on the story of Gon, a fun boy who is curious about his father's whereabouts. To find him, he takes part in a competition to become a Hunter.
Hunters are hunters who have perks around the world, as if they have an unlimited passport and a river of opportunities and tools. Becoming a Hunter is not an easy mission, in fact only the best can do it.
The anime starts showing Gon and his new friends during this rigorous examination that leads to the death and despair of many participants. Then the anime stretches into different complex arcs full of action and things we didn't imagine during the simple Hunter exam.
Rave Master - From the creator of Fairy Tail
We can not fail to mention the predecessor of Fairy Tail called Rave Master, previous work by Hiro Mashima. Just by watching you find many similarities in art, traits, characters and mascots.
Both stories involve a lot of magic, with the hero and other characters having their own specific powers. Striking similarities are noted between Haru and Ellie with Natsu and Lucy.
Just like Fairy Tale, Rave Master mixes elements of action, comedy, romance and more into a Shounen anime. Without a doubt, if you love Fairy Tail, you will also like Rave Master.

One Piece - the greatest of the best
One Piece is probably the anime most similar to Fairy Tail. Unfortunately, many don't watch it because of its gigantic size of 800 episodes, where they say it's far from over.
Luffy is very similar to Natsu, both are starving, carefree and smart. In addition to the similarity in personality, both of them continually hone their skills to defeat increasingly stronger enemies.
Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates are just as fun as the Fairy Tail Guild members, and One Piece's style is also visually similar. What do you think about giving the pirate king a chance?
Toei Animation – 1999 + 800 episodes and in release – Rating on MAL: 8.57
Shaman King
This anime is a little old but has similarities with the style of Fairy Tail. Yoh Asakura, a shaman who wants to become the Shaman King. Every 500 years a battle is held between competing shamans to claim the title.
Yoh embarks on a journey to meet other shamans and battle, in which he uses a combination of weapons, onmyoji magic, and summoning spirits. Yoh meets many friends and allies along the way just like in Fairy Tail.
It's a little different from anything else you've watched, while still being similar to other Shounen anime. The special powers and interesting cast are sure to appeal to Fairy Tail fans.

Nanatsu no Taizai
Nanatsu is undoubtedly one of the most recommended anime when the story is powerful protagonist, magic, fights and demons. The anime takes place in a world similar to the European Middle Ages.
Em Nanatsu no Taizai the Holy Knights of Britannia use magic to protect the region of Britannia. However, a small subset of the Knights allegedly betrayed their homeland.
They were defeated by the Holy Knights, but rumors continued to persist that these legendary knights, called the "Seven Deadly Sins", were still alive. The anime focuses on these knights.

Full Metal Alchemist
One of my favorite anime and it was the first anime I watched. The anime has its own universe based on alchemy, where the protagonists and villains seek the creation of a philosopher's stone to carry out their plans.
The protagonist Edward loses his arm and his brother while trying to resurrect his mother. He seals his brother Alphonse's soul in an Armor. Both join the army in order to research and find the philosopher's stone.
In between comes a lot of mystery, epic battles, charismatic characters and a perfect combination of action, comedy and romance. Undoubtedly, everyone who watched Fairy Tail will love it. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Bones – 2009 – 64 episodes – Rating on MAL: 9.25
Soul Eater
Soul Eater is set in the Death Weapon Meister Academy, where it equips a humanoid weapon that can transform to collect the souls of evil humans.
The Meister Academy certainly functions similarly to the Fairy Tail Guild, and the partnership between Maka and his Soul Eater scythe is reminiscent of Natsu and Lucy.
Soul Eater's cast is incredibly weird and quirky, and the anime uses this to comedic effect, in the same way as Fairy Tail. Maka and Soul Eater are always looking forward to a good fight.

Blue Exorcist
Ao no Exorcist follows Rin Okumura who has his world turned upside down when he discovers that he is Satan's own son and that his father wishes for him to return so they can conquer Assiah together.
Not wanting to join the king of Gehenna, Rin decides to start training to become an exorcist so he can fight to defend Assiah alongside his brother Yukio.
For this he chooses to enter a specialized school to train exorcists. And in this school, your brother is the one who will be your teacher.

KONOSUBA
Kazuma Satou dies and is reincarnated by a beautiful goddess named Aqua in a fantasy world. In this world he has to work to pay for this opportunity, things don't go as he imagines.
First he was given the opportunity to choose a item to help him on his mission in the new world. Enchanted by her beauty, he chooses the Goddess Aqua, but she is kind of useless, which leads to a super comical adventure.
The anime has a lot of comedy and its main theme is a world of magic. This is very similar to Fairy Tail. Some dare to say that Konosuba is far superior to Fairy Tail, being one of the best comedy anime.
