A youth, due to various circumstances, is on an aimless journey around the world they live in. The series tells the stories of their adventures and the day to day lives of the people they meet.

Both have a relaxing vibe while the main character explores the world on a journey, encountering new people and new places along the way.

Understanding and treasuring lives of living things as well as non-living things. These two journeys show us how we shouldn't take things for granted and how precious things will become which we only realized it when we are desiring it. You should walk with the protagonist(s) and observe their slow-paced journey. Each episode is carefully pieced and progressed to arrive at a final 'destination'. They have a lot of similarities although in a different world concept, so take your time and enjoy the two shows.

Character-driven drama that showcases humans and their psychological trouble, suffering even. Yet, they still show the positive drive towards exploring the world.

The first anime that popped into my head after watching it was Kino no Tabi, both of which are about traveling to different places. With their own interesting stories in those places. It's laid back, but there are also times when some action happens.

Kinos journey is more about a young girl and her motorcycle buddy traveling from city to city in order to understand the world more clear. Somali is about a young girl traveling with a golem who she calls her father. The golem travels from places to places in order to find humans and return the girl back to her parents. Throughout both series, they both carry relaxing vibe, beautiful scenery, heartwarming and heartwrenching themes. They meet many different people in their journeys and make great connections, then move on to the next city leaving a bittersweet ending each time. If you like one, you'll like  read more

If you're into slice-of-life anime with psychological themes, Kino's Journey and Death Parade are some of the better series you'll find. As the name might give away, Death Parade is on average a little heavier/darker, and a little more coherent; in that I mean that it culminates (kinda like Violet Evergarden). Kino is just as impartial as Decim, and often also put in the role to make weighty judgments. Idk, at least the series are fairly similar in my mind.

Both of these are short storys that focus on the time we spend vs the destination. Both make you feel something.  
report Recommended by Caeruleus_CCXVI
Both have young protagonists adventuring the world with a weird companion. The story structure is similar in that they both have self contained stories that are resolved in one to two episodes but Kino no Tabi is more serious.

Both have the MC exploring the world Both have beautiful art Both have the MC wanting to achieve something Both have amazing supporting characters Conclusion: if you like the feel of well concluded story combined with awesome art, this is the anime for you.

They both have beautiful world building, and gorgeous, vibrant animation. Both tend to be quite philosophical at times (of course, Kino no Tabi more than Mahoutsukai), and have a very serene feel. Even though they're different in a lot of ways, they share the same sort of atmosphere, and are both about seeing the beauty in a confusing and often painful world. There is a lot more character development and overall plot in Mahoutsukai (Kino no Tabi is episodic), but if you like one, I'd encourage you to give the other a try. XD

They may not share the same aesthethic, like one is in apocalyptic world and the other doesn't, but what this two series shared is the theme (I guess ?), where the MC using a motorized vehicle visiting one place / city / community / nation / what have you, to another. And each place they visit have their own quirk and problems - I'm just copy pasting the same text from the original one. Tho I recommend both of them, yes they have some similiar place, but there's also an original one that the 2003 one doesn't have P.s Sorry if my english is bad

These two shows both sport concepts about exploration, as well as some gray moral areas

Smart main characters that are both faced with tragedy in a steampunk type of setting where corruption is a common occurence. 
report Recommended by Gbex
A guy, a vehicle, a journey. So similar yet so different. What I find interesting is that the shows represent not so different protagonist, they are both pretty distant initially and they don't let the environment around influence them too much. For some reason tho, even if they react very differently to things that happen during their journey, when I think about what I remember about those series, I get a similar feeling. I think this is due to the fact that they act very differently, their story is different and the feeling they and the emotions they experience are different. But as I viewer I  read more

These two are similar because they both contain the beautiful aesthetic of nature. While one does contain a little more plot and a bit of sadness, they both reign as wonderful anime's that display the beauty of exploration and being one with nature and the world.  
report Recommended by AshDash300
Both shows feature the main character travelling from place to place and experiencing different things. Although Kino no Tabi is more leaning to the philosophical side of things while Kenja no Isekai Life mostly on the Fantasy. I feel like if you enjoy one of these shows you might enjoy the other!

Both of these are about young girls and their attachement to their motrcycle. While both share slice of life elements, Kino no Tabi delves more into drama/psychological themes. 
report Recommended by abystoma2
They both are about the main character who travels the world from city to city, place to place, in order to see what the world is like outside of where they once belonged. They meet new people along the way and learn of their cultures and history. Both seems to be very interesting and have emotional stories to tell

Both shows are reboots of their respective shows that are considered classics of the late 90s'& 00's era. They revolve around traveling, gunslinging and touches into stories about morality and exploring humanity.  
report Recommended by IchiroEX
I guess I'll reiterate my recommendation from the original; Both revolve around traveling, gunslinging and touches into philosophical stories about the human condition. In a world that can be cruel, and yet beautiful at the same time, both shows do a great job at portraying this concept. Where henceforth; "The world is beautiful because of the people you meet along the way. They are what shape the world that we live in".

They are similar in aspect that both are adventure anime in which the main 2 characters go from country/city to country/city, meeting new people on their journey. The biggest difference between the two is that Spice and Wolf also features a romantic plot between the main 2 characters.

Exploring a new world, which follows different rules from ours, in an episodic format is what the two series are about. In Hakumei to Mikochi we are introduced to the world of small creatures(everything from ants to 9 centimeters tall humans) and in the meantime Kino no Tabi presents us a world with a lot of different countries, each with it's own philosophy on living a good life. 
report Recommended by JokerDBlue
They both have that slice of life episodic feel. Meeting different regions of people. Not having much of a backbone of a story but the story of each encounter.  
report Recommended by Takishima_Shin
Just to name some similiartities from the top of my head: - Both main characters have a talking companion (Hermes, the motorcycle in Kino no Tabi and Chamber, the mech in Suisei no Gargantia). - Both worlds have their populations live in enclosed spaces with different rules and world views (Countries in Kino no Tabi and Fleets in Suisei no Gargantia). - While both anime have some fight scenes, the plot mainly revolves around the life-styles of the people in the countries (Kino no Tabi) / on the fleets (Suisei no Gargantia).

They are very similar in terms of them travelling around and experiencing different places. Both are very philosophical animes and I feel like if you like one them, you will like the other.

They give off the same vibe, it's hard to explain but there's a new story episode, both have young teenagers taking a responsibility due to hardships through their childhood. If you like one you'll probably like the other
