Demon Slayer is one of the most popular anime in recent years. The series follows a young man named Tanjiro as his family is killed by a demon and his sister is transformed into a demon in the process. Rather than accepting his sister’s fate, Tanjiro insists on saving her life and turning her back into a human.

For fans that truly love Demon Slayer, there are plenty of other anime to peruse between seasons if they want to experience some more shows that explore dark, supernatural themes, epic fights, and compelling plots.

Update August 26th, 2020 by Louis Kemner: Demon Slayer has proven itself a popular and trademark series for the late 2010s and early 2020s era of all things anime. Many fans agree that Demon Slayer is one of the new “big three” of shonen action, but even then, plenty of other action shows are very much worth watching. While waiting for the second season and the first movie for Demon Slayer, fans can immerse themselves in more than a few similarly high-caliber shows.

15 D.Gray-Man

This is a somewhat older series, and although the manga has suffered some hiatuses, it still has a special place in the anime world. D.Gray-Man is set in Gothic Europe, a world where demons known as Akuma can pop out of people at any time.

Exorcists are magical warriors who patrol the streets to lure out and destroy Akuma, but that’s not all there is to it. Hero Allen Walker soon gets embroiled in the Millennium Earl’s wicked plot to destroy and remake the world, and only Allen and the other exorcists can stop him.

14 My Hero Academia

This series is another strong contender to be a member of the new generation’s big three. My Hero Academia imagines a world where most people are born with superpowered quirks, meaning there are more than a few heroes and villains doing battle in the streets.

The quirks are diverse and creative, and hero Izuku Midoriya was born quirkless, until he received the powerful One For All so he can replace All Might as the new symbol of peace.

13 Fire Force

Next up is Fire Force, an animated show that involves a world that rebuilt itself from the Great Cataclysm (an apocalyptic fire) some 250 years ago. But there still isn’t peace; some people erupt into Infernals, or fire demons, and the fire soldiers must battle them and send their souls to heaven.

Worse yet, there is a cult of white-robed people who seek to reignite the Great Cataclysm, and hero Shinra Kusakabe and his allies must put an end to this threat at all costs, or all will be lost in the flames.

12 Cells At Work!

At first, this series may seem rather different from Demon Slayer, but the core idea is the same. This educational anime imagines each specialized cell in the human body as a uniformed worker, and there are more than a few germs to fight.

In an amusing and educational way, Cells at Work! is a “monster hunter” anime that depicts the microscopic battles taking place in the human body every day. Germs and viruses are huge, scary and cool, and knife-wielding white blood cells must fight them to the death.

11 The Rising Of The Shield Hero

This is an isekai series where young adult Naofumi Iwatani finds himself summoned to a European-style fantasy world that’s about to face a deadly siege by countless monsters and undead. He bears magical shields, while three more heroes wield a sword, bow and spear.

It’s not easy fighting off such a multitude of monsters, especially when Naofumi finds himself an outcast who must fend for himself. So, he forms a new party and takes the fight to the enemy by any means necessary. But time is running out.

10 Beserk

The Beserk manga series has had several anime adaptations, but one should naturally start with the first to be released, 1997’s Berserk. This series focusses on the Black Swordsman arc of the manga and follows a talented swordsman who joins a group of mercenaries.

While the series only ran from 1997-98, it was a commercial and critical success with many praising its mature themes and suggesting that it is the finest example of dark fantasy anime.

9 Re:Zero – Starting Life In Another World

Re:Zero tells the story of a young man named Subaru who is transported to a fantasy world from the modern-day. In this world, Subaru learns that, whenever he dies, he comes back at a certain point before his death, giving him the chance to try again.

While Re:Zero has only had one season so far, it is an incredible anime that is a must-watch for anyone. Not only is the conceit of the show interesting and unique, but it also has some of the best anime characters of the past few years.

8 Ushio And Tora

Ushio and Tora tells the story of a young man, Ushio, who discovers a demon, Tora, beneath his temple with a spear embedded in the creature’s chest, pinning him to the wall and keeping him in place.

Eventually, this begins to attract other demons and monsters to the temple, forcing Ushio to free Tora in order to help fight them. Ushio ultimately teams up with Tora and the two begin to fight various supernatural forces around the world.

7 Dororo

Based on the manga of the same name and set in the Sengoku Period of Japanese history, Dororo follows the story of a young ronin named Hyakkimaru who, along with a character named Dororo, must battle several demons in order to get his stolen body parts back.

In the same vein as Demon Slayer, Dororo focusses on a historical world in which demons are prevalent and the main characters must battle them. This series has some intense fight scenes and should be more than capable of keeping Demon Slayer fans interested.

6 Goblin Slayer

Goblin Slayer, as the name suggests, is an anime about slaying goblins. Set in a fantasy world that bears a close resemblance to video game mechanics, complete with ‘levels’ and quests that are posted on an inn’s noticeboard, Goblin Slayer has the action and fantasy that a fan of Demon Slayer would enjoy.

That being said, the first episode is infamous for its disturbing content and would almost certainly not be suitable for all viewers.

5 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is considered by many to be one of the greatest anime shows of all time. The series follows two brothers, Edward and Alphonse, as they try to find the Philosopher’s Stone so that they can bring their bodies back to their original states.

During a fateful ritual in which the two brothers attempted to bring their mother back from the dead, Edward lost a leg and Alphonse lost his body. In order to bring his brother’s soul back, Edward sacrificed his arm and Alphonse’s soul entered a nearby suit of armor.

4 Black Clover

Adapted from the popular manga of the same name, Black Clover debuted in 2017 and centers around the life of Asta, who was abandoned outside a church as a baby. Despite the fact that (nearly) everyone is capable of magical power by birth, Asta does not have an affinity for magic.

Driven by the desire to become the next Wizard King, Asta and his friend/rival Yuno embark on a quest to join the Magic Knights.

3 Bleach

Bleach is one of the most iconic anime of all time. The legendary shonen anime tells the story of Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who ends up becoming a Soul Reaper after a chance encounter with another Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki. The series follows Ichigo as he hones his powers and abilities, defeating terrifying enemies in the process.

The series has some of the best anime fights of all time and will certainly be enjoyable for those who liked Demon Slayer, as both feature protagonists who are constantly training to get stronger in order to defeat supernatural threats.

2 Inuyasha

Inuyasha is another famous anime that has stood the test of time. The series follows a 15-year-old schoolgirl from modern-day Tokyo who falls into a well at her family’s shrine and ends up being transported back in time to the Sengoku Period in Japan. There she meets the half-dog demon, Inuyasha.

Aside from the presence of demons and high octane action, Inuyasha has an incredibly compelling story with fantastic characters that is a must-watch for all anime fans, nevermind just Demon Slayer fans.

1 Princess Mononoke

While this may be controversial as it isn’t an anime series in the same vein as others on this list, Princess Mononoke is one of the best anime movies of all time. Directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki and released by Studio Ghibli, Princess Mononoke follows a young man named Ashitaka as he becomes drawn into a war between humans and the old gods of the forest.

While demons are not slain in this movie in the same manner as they are in Demon Slayer, there is still demons in the movie and more than enough action to keep one invested. Princess Mononoke also has a strong narrative, great animation, and memorable characters.
