SPOILER WARNING!

Here's my top 5, I'm sure you'd like it all!

Like Naruto eh? So, you want shonen anime ... well, I've got lots which you'd definitely like:

Fullmetal Alchemist
Number Of Episodes: 51 episodes
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Drama, Action, Shonen, Comedy
Edward and Alphonse Elric were children living in the rural village of Resembool in the country of Amestris. Their father, a talented alchemist, had left home when Edward was very young and Alphonse was still an infant. Years later, their mother, Trisha Elric, died of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, the two boys decided to attempt to revive their deceased mother using alchemy. They studied alchemy with a teacher and then used their father's books and notes that he had left behind to recreate a human transmutation circle. However, this attempt failed, costing Edward his left leg and Alphonse his entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix his brother's soul to a suit of armor. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are fitted with two sets of Automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb. In the original Japanese, the term "Fullmetal" is used to describe a person who is stubborn.A State Alchemist by the name of Roy Mustang arrives during the failed human transmutation in response to letters the boys had sent out seeking information about their father (in the hopes that they could get the attention of their father so that he would come home). After seeing their skill at alchemy, Mustang suggested that the way for the two boys to achieve their goals would be to become State Alchemists and work for him. Spurred on by the man's proposal, Edward set out to become a State Alchemist, enabling him to use the resources available to State Alchemists to discover a way to restore what he and Alphonse had lost. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher's Stone and set off in search of it as a means to restore their bodies. Along the way they discover secrets about the Philosopher's Stone and find other people who seek it as well.

Bleach
Number Of episodes: 104(current)
Genre: Shonen, Action, Supernatural
Ichigo Kurosaki is a rough-and-tumble teenager who has always had the special ability to see ghosts. The story begins with the sudden appearance of an oddly-dressed stranger in Ichigo's bedroom. This stranger is the shinigami Rukia Kuchiki, who is surprised at his ability to see her. Their resulting conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a hollow, an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded during battle trying to protect Ichigo, she decides to transfer half of her powers to Ichigo, hoping to give him the opportunity to face the hollow on an equal footing. Ichigo absorbs all of Rukia's powers during the attempt instead, allowing him to defeat the hollow with much ease.

The next day, Rukia turns up in Ichigo's classroom as a transfer student. Much to his surprise, she now appears to be a normal human. She theorizes that it was the unusual strength of Ichigo's spirit that caused him to fully absorb her powers, thus leaving her stranded in the human world. Rukia has transferred herself into a gigai — an artificial human body — while waiting to recover her abilities. In the meantime, Ichigo must take over her job as a shinigami, battling hollows and guiding lost souls to the afterlife.

Getbackers
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Mystery, Shounen, Supernatural
Number Of Episodes: 49
The manga tells the story of a pair known as the GetBackers, consisting of Ban Mido and Ginji Amano. The duo reside in one of the seedier areas of Shinjuku in Tokyo, and are often broke and resort to sleeping in their car. Ban and Ginji operate a freelance repossession service or dakkanya (奪還屋). For a fee, they will recover any lost or stolen item for a client. The two boast an "almost 100% success rate" (100% in the anime). Their motto is: "We get back what shouldn't be gone".

However, Ban and Ginji are not ordinary human beings. They each possess mysterious abilities which they use to carry out their many recovery missions. Ban's powers include the "Snakebite", a skill which gives his hands a grip of 200 kilograms-force, and the "Evil Eye" ("Jagan", 邪眼, a Japanese term roughly meaning "evil eye"), an ability to induce minute-long hallucinations of Ban's choosing in whomever he makes direct eye contact with. However, this ability cannot be used on the same person twice in a 24-hour period, and he has to rest between uses. The Evil Eye can also only be used three times in one day. Ginji, on the other hand, can generate enormous amounts of electric energy in his body for tasks such as attacking opponents, or overloading electronic systems; this has earned him the moniker of "Lighting Lord" (雷帝, "Raitei", a Japanese term also translated as "Thunder Emperor", or "Lightning Emperor").

Despite the simplicity of their job's description, Ban and Ginji's profession often places them into bizarre and dangerous situations in order to obtain the objects they must find. Their targets range from everyday objects such as a video game a school kid has lost to an even much more dangerous object which might just affect the safety of the nation (such as a vital part of a nuclear bomb). As such, the plot mostly revolves around the dangerous (yet sometimes silly) adventures they both go through, which is often complicated by connections to the pair's dark and twisted pasts, and a mysterious place called Infinity Fortress (無限城, "Mugenjou", a Japanese term also translated as "Limitless Fortress" and "Maze City").

There are numerous "acts" in the story. Each act, divided into a number of chapters, describes a different recovery task taken on by the GetBackers. As the story develops, new characters (some with past relationships with Ban and Ginji)are revealed, and details of a shadowy conspiracy involving the GetBackers slowly rise to the surface.

The plotline of the anime is initially similar to that of the manga, but diverges sharply after the 25th episode as the anime attempted to compress the ongoing story arcs into a manageable anime arc with a reasonable ending. The second Limitless Fortress arc is not in any way connected to the one in the Manga, though some of the characters featured have also recently appeared in the manga.

Rurouni Kenshin
Genre:Action, Adventure, Comedy, Historical drama, Fantasy, Philosophical, Romance, Shōnen
Number Of Episodes: 95
The series tells the story of an assassin named Himura Kenshin, who was known as the Hitokiri Battōsai ("Man killer - Master of Battōjutsu"). Kenshin later grieves for all the lives he's taken, and vows that he will never kill again.

Samurai 7
Genre:Adventure, Fantasy, Steampunk
Number Of Episodes: 26
Samurai 7 tells the story of a friendly rice village, Kanna, with a significant problem. Every year during the harvest, a group of bandits, known as the Nobuseri, come and steal away almost all of the rice that had been harvested that year. Not only that, the Nobuseri are becoming more demanding, now taking women and children in addition to rice.

The elder of Kanna has declared that to protect the village they must hire samurai and fight against the bandits. However, they have no money and thus must find samurai willing to protect the village for the price of all the rice that he/she can eat. He sends three members of the village out to the city to begin looking. And thus the journey begins...

I have a question too. No offence but what are you guys so obsessed by Naturo? Is it because it is airing in the States and you guys only knows this one? Because when I look at the questions, 1/3 of them concerns either Naruto, Inu Yusha or Bleach.

There are plenty of anime much better than these out there yet only these seems to interest you.

Bleach 105 isn't on youtube yet because it hasn't aired yet.

But if you want good anime : Slayers, Full Metal Panic, Basilisk, 12 Kingdoms, Evangelion, Escaflowne, Great Teacher Onizuka, You're Under Arrest... the list is too long

i like jap cartoons extra effective than American cartoons. the jap sketch manufacturers merely look to place plenty extra attempt into their cartoons in approximately each and every factor. The characters are extra effective, the story is extra effective and a large variety of the time unique, the combat scenes if any are continuously extra effective whilst they are jap made. Animes that are made for human beings that are mature, continuously have some variety of deep, attractive, customarily which potential storyline it particularly is exciting and emotional. while i stumble on that American cartoons that are for mature human beings(15+) are meaningless, very stupid, pointless and very nearly continuously crammed with over the authentic sexual references/jokes and easily too plenty swearing, because of the fact it variety of feels the makers think of once you have those you're immediately comedy gold. e.g South Park, Drawn jointly. they have not any storylines in besides and the characters are very shallow. i do no longer particularly care if human beings call Anime cartoons reason that's what they are easily, although I do get aggravated whilst human beings say "Anime? it particularly is like for 8 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds, enhance up guy".

Ok, they are not called "Japanese cartoons", they are called "Anime - Ah-nee-meh".

I like Inuyasha, FMA, Fushigi Yuugi, AIR, Rurouni Kenshin, Karin, Moon Phase, and MANY MORE!!!

Also, if you like anime, if you haven't already, read Manga (Japanese comics. sorry, it just seems like you didn't know anything about anime or manga because you called anime - Japanese cartoons - which they ARE, but the name for them is Anime.). many anime have a manga to them.
