RELATED: The Most Popular Anime Genres & The Titles That Defined Them
Since there are a finite amount of episodes for Rakshasa Street fans, these viewers have been looking for alternatives to binge-watch. The good news is that there are plenty of shows for fans to busy themselves with. Moreover, these dabble with the genre in creative ways for these shows to feel both similar and pleasantly unique to Rakshasa Steet.
10 Natsume’s Book of Friends
Takashi Natsume is a boy who has the powers of perceiving ghosts and spirits. Unfortunately, he’s ostracized as being strange due to this ability until he learns that he’s been bequeathed a book by his deceased grandfather containing the names of spirits she had trapped.
As is the case with Rakshasa Street, this anime also deals with communication with spirits and the threat they might pose. Filled with breathtaking visuals, Natsume’s Book of Friends is more of a mystery-supernatural series, as the main character has to figure out how he can release the spirits from their servitude.
9 Bleach
Ichigo Kurosaki acquires the powers of the Soul Reaper, making the defender of humans from wayward spirits as well as the shepherd guiding souls into the afterlife. This also brings him into direct conflict with powerful forces who seek to upset the system.
This series frequently sees the main characters venturing into the world of spirits, with plenty of over-the-top action to behold. It’s a lot more action-packed than Rakshasa Street, but Bleach also brings in a number of dramatic arcs to balance everything out. The series should easily satisfy the three-episode rule for most anime fans.
8 Hell Girl
When certain people have had enough of those they despise, they opt to contact the Hell Correspondence website that sics the Hell Girl onto the target party. This leads to both the victim and the person making the contract having to deal with the consequences of being sent to Hell.
Hell Girl is one of the few anime to defy genre tropes by making the titular character a thing to truly fear. The series progresses over the seasons into becoming a supernatural thriller as more characters are introduced. Rakshasa Street fans will enjoy this subversion of the supernatural genre, especially for the thrills it brings.
7 The King’s Avatar
Ye Xiu, considered the greatest esports player of the game Glory, is kicked out for not complying with the developers’ standards. Looking to redeem himself, he begins the game from scratch to once again rise up the ranks to become champion.

The “spirits” in question here are the game’s avatars, as The King’s Avatar largely takes place in this virtual world. Rakshasa Street viewers will be intrigued by the variation provided by this anime, as it takes place in the same genre but employs a creative twist of characters finding reality in a virtual environment.
6 The Unparalleled Black & White (Heibai Wushang)
Two young demons are employed at an organization whose main goal is to balance the living and spirit world by killing humans who interfere with their practice. However, the main characters’ lazy nature ends up causing more trouble than they’re worth and they have to scramble to fix their own mistakes.
The series is a mixture of comedy and action-adventure, with the first set of episodes being lighter in nature after which things take a different turn. Rakshasa Street fans will find the creative premise appealing, as the series is firmly shown from the point of view of the demons.
5 Wangpai Yushi
The system of the world gets destroyed, as humans and monsters are thrust together to coexist. In order to keep the new normal right, the main characters have to combat monsters who seek to threaten everyone’s existence.
In this series, the spirit world is the actual world itself as everything is out in the open. Rather than contain an overarching mystery, this show sees the characters knowing who their foes are and fighting them in the name of good.
4 Blue Exorcist
Rin Okumura learns that he’s actually the son of Satan and has inherited his devil father’s powers. In order to stop Satan’s bid for power, Rin joins the True Cross Academy to learn how to be an exorcist with the mission of becoming powerful enough to battle his own father.
Rakshasa Street viewers are used to having a split experience between the human and spirit world, but this anime’s main character gives them the best of both worlds. The limited-series run enables Blue Exorcist to tell its story in a quick and satisfying fashion, with the show benefiting from the likable lead character.
3 The Legend of Ancient Soul (Shen Qi Huan Qi Tan)
Before the old gods were sealed away a long time ago, they stored their essences in artifacts within the HuaXia clan. In the present day, these artifacts are awoken, ushering in the souls of the gods into members of the clan as they all seek to coexist.

It’s a lot more serious than Rakshasa Street, but this anime delivers a mature outlook on the dark fantasy genre. The series is also packed with enough supernatural action to keep viewers enthralled, with a lot of the focus on character quality also placed.
2 The Devil Ring (Jie Mo Ren)
Zhou Xiaoan is in for the shock of his life when he puts on a mysterious ring as the devil takes possession of him. Zhou is then taken on a roller coaster ride of an adventure, going up against the undead and beings from the supernatural.
This anime is certainly very fast-paced, carrying a style that sees the plot kick up into overdrive right from the get-go. It can be something of a palate cleanser for Rakshasa Street fans since this show takes all the aspects from the genre and turns into a thrill-seeking tale of a man versus the forces of evil.
1 Death Note
High school student Light Yagami uses a notebook called Death Note in order to put an end to evil forces. Death Note is an extremely dangerous object, however, as anyone’s name in the book leads to their death, as they then have to contend with Light.
Rakshasa Street fans looking for horror material will have their fair share with Death Note. The series has been widely popular for its mastery in delivering the scares while remaining in touch with some comedic material as well. The aspect of the main character taking on evil spirits is made infinitely more interesting due to said spirits having personalities of their own.
