Undertaker Riddle is like the modern lovechild of Pandora Hearts and Black Butler's shinigami sector, mostly resembling Pandora once you read more into it. Both series share a similar supernatural/fantasy theme involving contract making, surrealism, explosive candy, and Alice in Wonderland aesthetics set in an alternate dimention which the characters enter later on.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World add

...then you might like Majo no Tabitabi add

I feel like the closest comparison you can get to Kino's Journey is Elaina's. The series both share the same storyline of "traveling girl goes to different countries and observes their customs while maintaining a neutral perspective and not interferring". The countries and people she meets serve as metaphoric equivalents of real life human nature and the episodic stories revolve around the circumstances of the characters she meets rather than the MC herself.

If you liked Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - The Animated Series add

...then you might like Majo no Tabitabi add

A traveling girl goes to various different countries, spending a couple days in each and observing their unique customs which are metaphoric of the real life controversial nature/actions of humanity and its concepts. Both series have bright slow paced atmospheres, character designs, and presentations. The girl only ever observes from a neutral perspective without interfering and the stories revolve predominantly around the people who she meets and their circumstances rather than the MC herself. I consider Kino's Journey to be the spirtual predecessor to Elaina.
