If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Aria the Animation add

Mushi-shi is an episodic series largely carried by its masterful creation of atmosphere, leading viewers to be absolutely engrossed and immersed upon watching every individual episode, leaving them with a sense of awe and wonderment thereafter; the same applies upon watching ARIA. The intense and engaging characteristics that both series possess naturally hack into your biological reward system, yet perhaps paradoxically, all episodes are rather mellow and serene, not flashy, bold, and exciting. However, Mushi-shi has a largely pensive overtone in contrast to ARIA's largely sweet and charming overtone. Each standalone episode in both series are rich with thematic Aesops, philosophical/metaphorical/existential insights, and/or absolutely gripping mysteries, pushing you to crave more and more the deeper you get into each series.
