Shinigami no Ballad.

Did you like Shigofumi? Well, Shinigami no Ballad has a similar theme, however, it's a step before something the Shigofumi's would be sent. Both Momo and Fumika have similar attitudes, and there's also a cool sidekick! Daniel and Kanaka! 

The main chracter of Shigofumi, Fumika looks and have similar characteristics to Momo of Shinigami no Ballad (i.e. white hair and an unemotional voice). They also have colourful assistants in Kanaka and Daniel, respectively. Furthermore, both anime deals with death and about the people that are (or will be) left behind. However, Shinigami no Ballad is a lighter series than Shigofumi. 

Both involve supernatural girls and a non human partner observing and sometimes interfering with the lives of others, especially the surviving friends/family of the recently departed. 

Both anime are about beings from the world of the dead interacting with the living: in Shigofumi we have a girl delivering a letter from a dead person, in Shinigami no Ballad we have a girl tasked with taking the dead people to the afterworld, but usually she also helps them straight things out before their departure or even watch over living in the dead's person stead. It should be noted, that Shinigami no Ballad is only a collection of unconnected stories (with the exception of main heroine) unlike the Shigofumi. 

Similar premises, about a girl and her talking pet/staff helping people to come to terms with death and their regrets. Each episodes focuses on a different story with a different group of characters, with their own problems and internal conflicts, and the stories usually play out in a similar way in both shows. The art is also very alike, with realistic colors and character designs, which really adds to their dark and melancholic tone. 

Both animes have to do with a young girl delivering peoples' souls. Both are sad, though Jigoku Shoujo is a bit darker. 

both deal with showing different sides of people don't deal with only the main character 

Both series focuses on a seemingly harmless girl yet have deeper personalities. Additional, both anime(s) deliver the justice to accomplish one's imminent death's wishes. Of course, that involves the theme of death and what it means to die. Although both series features the "shinigami" fulfilling wishes for opposite reasons, both anime(s) focuses on the theme of afterlife.  

While Shinigami no Ballad focuses on death and the effects of the lives of those after loved ones perish, and Aria focuses on life as a gondola boatsperson, both have very similiar aspects. The laid back slice of life, moral-of-the-story type anime makes both likeable. Personally, I prefered Aria, but both are decently enjoyable if you are looking to ease a day's stress away. 

Both are slow and relaxing (or sleep-inducing) short anime of the slice of life genre. Even though Akari & Momo have opposite personalities, both of them come into contact with many people because of their work, and always try to help them. 

Both animes are sad and dramatic... I think they're really similar, and whoever watched Shinigami No Ballad will like Hanbun No Tsuki Ga Noboru Sora. 

These are two very calm anime, and the stories are all sad to begin with. Moreover, both are short anime, and you enjoy them for sure. 

Boogiepop Phantom, and Shinigami no Ballad. This may at first sound like a great leap, because they aren't really tied together firmly by anything. However, where Boogiepop Phantom will produce a dark and twisted delusion, a perverted morality that is ultimately corrected --- Shinigami no Ballad is a direct line to the most "wholesome" moral path. It is exactly this counter-balance that makes them good to watch together. While I think it would be better to see Boogiepop Phantom first, because it is longer and more appropriate to adult minds, either way would work fine. As both are very well-done balancing acts between morality and point, it is only fitting that they balance one-another out. Boogiepop Phantom adult and shades of gray on the one had . . . and Shinigami no Ballad pure innocent goodness on the other. read more
