15 [Similar Anime] Like Rise of the Yokai Clan – Demon Capital

A main character who inherits something from their grandparents. Rikuo inherits the yokai blood where as Natsume inherits the Book of Friends. Both anime revolves around yokai/ayakashi and Japanese culture. Although Natsume Yuujinchou is more of heart warming and has slice of life elments, Nurarihyon no Mago is more into action and battles. But both anime potrays an unique world of ghosts and spirits. I enjoy them both.

The main characters live in an environment surrounded by demons/yokai, and by birth their status puts them at least a little above other demons (Inuyasha's father was a powerful and renown dog demon while Rikou's grandfather is the supreme commander of the Nura Clan/Lord of Pandemonium). They have a mix of human and demon blood, as Inuyasha is a half demon and Rikou is 3/4th human. As they adventure they discover that their human sides can serve as a strength and is not something to be ashamed of.

Both characters have something to do with demons and they both have powers sleeping inside them that they can use only when certain conditions are meet, in Ao no Exorcist Rin gets his powers when he draws his sword, in Nurarihyon, Rikuo can only transform at night

I've always felt Nurarihyon no Mago was strongly influences by Yuu-Yuu-Hakusho despite one dealing with a human gaining supernatural powers and another who is a demon hybrid. The characters in both series are quite colorful, but the demons stand out as being unique as well rather than run of the mill generic like some other series.

Both Anime has Demons and Exorcist of different type. Nurarihyon story is mostly located in Japan where are D.Gray-man story location is through out the world. The Antagonist on D.Gray-Man looks funny but suprisingly strong along with some of his followers. D.Gray-Man is definitely not to be missed.

one person has two identities
NnM - nura and his demon form
DNA - niwa daisuke and dark
secondly, their families are well aware of their powers and they have the same powers too.
NnM are about demons
DNA are about phantom theifs

Both Tsuna and Rikuo are getting stronger in order to face one of their greatest threats. Both are expected to become leader of group through bloodline.

Nurarihyon's Hagoromo Gitsune arc is eerily similar to Bleach's Soul Society arc. It starts with the a character getting kidnapped, the main character is forced to train in preparation of the inevitable invasion they need to do to get said character back. The invasion fails in case of the entrance so they need to improvise another plan to enter. With them traveling to retrieve their friend they get stronger in the process. The main character has to fight an enemy that only wishes to fight the stongest. At the end a character pulls an "Aizen" and all hell breaks loose.

Both are shounen with a dark atmosphere at times (Nurarihyon is more light-hearted in the first season).
Both contain historical elements from Japan, although Nurarihyon's setting is modern Japan (for the second season, there is an important flash-back in Edo era rather than Taishou era for Kimetsu no Yaiba).
Both MC are fighting demons (youkai or ayakashi) who eat humans, but the MC is one quarter youkai himself (still far from Nezuko).
Both MC use a special katana to fight.
Both are Nekketsu shounen and both MC fight overpowered enemies (in season 2 mostly for Nurarihyon).
Both get stronger by training in a forest (season 2).
Both main antagonists are immortal and eat a lot of humans.

Similarities:

-Main character's hides his abilities and wonders if his friends find out , they may think that hes weird
-Creatures that cant be seen by humans / hide from humans

Both series left the school life from previous seasons and focus more on plot and fight scenes.

both animes story line is about youkais! the stories in general are different but it's the same when it comes to youkais and a lead character who wants to protect everyone! both anime are exciting and deserve watching!!

Both of these Anime feature a male lead with semi to full slice of life style storyline dealing with the supernatural events going on around them that cause them to be different from the rest of the world. They are also dealing with their grandparents legacies.

Both deal with the spiritual world and both man characters are powerful, but powerless because they don't know how to use it.
