Ok, this is my first time writing one of these, so I hope it comes out alright. Although the plots are completely different - Mononoke Hime being more like the epic adventure type, this one being the touchy, makes-you-cry kind of short movie - they share common themes such as spirits, mountain gods and sacred forests. Both have slightly romantic atmospheres to them ('Hotarubi no Mori e' is a shoujo anime, so it's natural it develops more towards a love story than 'Mononoke Hime', in which the "love" depicted is more like admiration from one part). In other words, both revolve around ancient traditional Japanese beliefs. The thing is, if you want to sit down for a while and watch a classic, breathtaking movie, do so with Mononoke Hime. If you'd rather watch something short but that also has a beautiful and touching story to it, make sure to check this one out.

Scrapped Princess is also an adventure-type anime, and it's about world destruction as well, with god-like creatures that try to balance the world and stuff. Then, both have some sci/fic parts in them, and in which <in Scrapped Princess> it's kind of confusing. Overall, both are really good anime's and are worth watching. On the other hand, Scrapped Princess is longer <26 eps>. Enjoy! ^^
