Inuyasha is a favorite anime of many for its mythological themes, interesting characters, cool fights, and juicy drama. For some, it was what introduced them to anime. While the show ended in 2010 with its Final Act season, fans do not need to fret about finding other decent historical fantasy anime. There are more out there that have a lot of the same themes that made Inuyasha so good.

Here are ten anime we think Inuyasha fans should check out.

10 Zenki

Zenki actually aired before Inuyasha back in 1995 and has a total of 51 episodes.

This is a show to watch if you loved Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship and personalities. The main characters of Zenki, Chiaki and Zenki, are nearly the exact same characters. Like Kagome, Chiaki is a young girl who comes from a shrinekeeper family. Like Inuyasha, Zenki has a stubborn and sometimes hostile personality and can change forms.

9 Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan

This anime aired in 2010 with two seasons that are each 24 episodes long. It focuses on Nura who is 3/4 human and 1/4 yokai. He is human during the day but changes form at night. The battle between his human self and demon self is the focus of the story. Inuyasha was similar since he was half demon and half human and was an outcast due to being a half-breed.

As one can imagine, there is a lot of Japanese mythology in Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan which also makes it similar to Inuyasha.

8 Fushigi Yuugi

With 52 episodes and two seasons, Fushigi Yuugi ran from 1995 to 1996. Like Kagome, the protagonist Miaka is transported into the past except instead of feudal Japan it is feudal China. It is also the same genre: historical fantasy. In terms of personality though, Miaka is more like Usagi from Sailor Moon. They're not very bright and love food more than anything.

Fushigi Yuugi does have interesting twists that separate it from Inuyasha. For example, Miaka's best friend also travels to feudal China with her. Also, they are not exactly in the past. They are in a book.

7 Rurouni Kenshin

This show is not exactly historical fantasy, but it is historical fiction. The main character, Kenshin, used to be known as a merciless killer swordsman but he has become a passivist and does not want to hurt people anymore. The show is set in the Meiji era, which is what took place between the feudal era and modern era.

Like Inuyasha, there is also romance and friendships are made. Kenshin does not have Inuyasha's personality, but he still starts off as a loner who has issues connecting to people until he meets the female protagonist.

6 Ranma ½

Ramna 1/2 had to be on this list because it was made by the same manga artist who created Inuyasha. Both English and Japanese voice actors who worked on Inuyasha also worked on this anime. Like Inuyasha and Kagome, the protagonists Ranma and Akane and have a love-hate relationship.

While Inuyasha is an action-adventure story with some romance and comedy thrown in, Ramna 1/2 is the opposite with comedy and romance with a little action-adventure thrown in.

5 The Twelve Kingdoms

This is another anime that follows a high school girl that is transported into another world. Instead of feudal Japan though, it is a place called the Twelve Kingdoms. While the show finished in 2003 with 45 episodes, the novels are still ongoing.

A lot of the story is inspired by Chinese mythology, much like how Inuyasha is inspired by Japanese mythology. The show was popular enough to get two PlayStation 2 titles released in Japan.

4 Kamisama Kiss

Like Inuyasha, this show focuses on the relationship between a high school girl and a yokai. Instead of a half-demon though, its a kitsune man (a fox demon, like Shippo from Inuyasha but an adult). Similar to Inuyasha and Kagome, the two main characters have a pretty rocky relationship. Kamisama Kiss is primarily romance, rather than a grand-scale adventure. However, it does have some action moments. It has been described as a combination of Inuyasha and Fruits Basket. It has comedy and drama that is similar to Fruits Basket. So if you are a fan of both those shows, then this is definitely for you.

The show ran its first season in 2012 and its second season in 2015, totaling to about 25 episodes.

3 The Vision Of Escaflowne

Much like Kagome, the female protagonist of this show travels to another world and finds out that she is going to play an important role in that world. She is also in high school but instead of going to feudal Japan, she travels to a place called Gaea. The main characters are Hitomi and Van and they have a growing romance as the show progresses and also collect companions on their adventure.

While it is not historical fantasy, it is a fantasy anime with the same amount of action-adventure content as Inuyasha.

2 Ushio And Tora

Ushio is the son of a shrinekeeper family. He finds a demon, Tora, sealed in the temple basement that his ancestor fought and pinned down with a spear. When the town is being ravaged by monsters, he unseals the demon and uses the spear to control it to help protect others. That is almost exactly like Kagome and Inuyasha's story!

Like Inuyasha, Tora is not as evil as he appears. Tora and Ushio gradually become friends as the show progresses. The show also delves into some Japanese mythology like Inuyasha does.

1 Tsubasa Chronicle

Inuyasha and his team are on a journey to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel. In Tsubasa Chronicles, they are on a journey to collect feathers that stand for Sakura's memories.  There isn't a girl who travels to another world, but the group does travel to multiple dimensions.

The team is similarly built to Inuyasha's as well, consisting of five people (well, one of them is an animal-like creature). It is essentially the same mix of genres as Inuyasha, except for the historical aspect.
