If you liked Kyougoku Natsuhiko: Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari add

...then you might like Mononoke add

If you liked Mononoke, then you my friend, for sure should try out this series called Hundred Stories. The series revolves around a writer who is looking for ghost stories all over the world which he can write about, in the journey of which he comes across three entities who indirectly guide him through his venture, simultaneously fulfilling their own purposes. Mononoke features an unnamed entity who goes by the title of the "Medicine Seller" who wanders around the land casually, coming across various spirits whom he exorcises one after the other.

...then you might like Yami Shibai add

If you have a taste for Japanese Ghost Stories or Japanese Urban legends, then this series titled Yami Shibai is a perfect recommendation for it. Each episode of this series deals with one separate ghost story from Japan, and the runtime of each episode being approximately 05:00 minutes. Compiled in three separate seasons, each season carrying 13 episodes; Yami Shibai is a perfect must watch especially if you want to spend your weekends alone and are looking for thrills. Hundred Stories is a similar series in the nature that each episode of Hundred Stories encircles a separate ghastly happening in the ancient Japan.

If you liked Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror add

...then you might like Mononoke add

If you are interested in any anime series which deals with supernatural and bizarre sotylines, with separate arcs in every episode, then this short series of 11 episodes is one of them. You should watch it, the entire series being based on three different stories relating to the demons and ghostly entities from Japan; and know what? The last three episodes of this series feature the 'Medicine Seller' in the Mononoke series, which is a spin-off of the same.

If you liked Blame! add

...then you might like Biomega add

Biomega contains references to Blame!, Nihei's previous work. This is a standalone storyline and does not have direct connections to his other works such as Blame!, NSE and NOiSE (though, throughout Blame!, TOA Heavy Industries is mentioned several times). Plot: Set in the future, the plot follows Zoichi Kanoe and his AI companion Fuyu Kanoe, whose luminous form is integrated into the system of his motorcycle. They are agents sent by TOA Heavy Industries to retrieve humans with the ability to resist and transmute the N5S infection, which is spreading across the world, turning humans into "Drones"; disfigured, zombie-like beings. The art in Biomega is similar to Blame!, with its complicated concrete sprawl and extremely vast, empty spaces. In this manga, there is emphasis on the swiftness of the attacks made by Zoichi, such as the gun being holstered just before the enemies fall to the ground. Speed is crucial in this manga, unlike in Blame!, and the plot develops quickly.

If you liked Memories add

...then you might like Manie-Manie: Meikyuu Monogatari add

If anyone has watched Memories, then the person shall also give Neo Tokyo a try. Since both the 'Movies' are based on a combination of three different short stories; individually, with alternative plots, the viewer may find it interesting while watching. However, another similarity between the two movies as a whole is the plot setting - bizarre and unpredictable - which takes certain turns with the varying story lines. The epilogue, in both the cases remains a sort of punny. The viewer may interpret and deduct the endings as per his/her own perspective, which varies from person to person. In either way, both Memories and Neo Tokyo, if watched one after the other will give the viewer an experience of six short anime films, all total.

If you liked Mononoke add

...then you might like Un-Go add

Un-Go is similar to Mononoke as it deals with the life of a detective Yuuki Shinjuuro whom people refer to as The Defeated Detective for some professional results. He hangs out with a young boy who is actually a demon who's taken a human form. Yuuki often uses the helping hand of this demon (Inga) to expose the truth or the lies in people's hearts in order to solve his cases. However, it is also a limitation of Shinjuuro who cannot do anything significant unless Inga asks one question to a particular person, as prescribed by Yuuki; which people are bound to answer.

If you liked Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko add

...then you might like Dareka no Manazashi add

Both are animated short-films revolving around rather, narrating the lives of two girls, individually. The stories in both the works of Makoto Shinkai are narrated throughout by an unknown narrator whose identity gets revealed in the climax, in a subtle yet beautiful manner. Both the stories involve cats who form the essential element of the short-films.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Kimi ni Todoke add

Both the anime series revolve around the life of a single girl who had to go through a lot of social and emotional issues everywhere and had to struggle through their lives when they come across one certain situation where she feels to be like the luckiest person in the world because of one or a few handful of people who make her feel special and important. Kimi Ni Todoke is more of a Slice of Life excluding all sorts of Fantasy Content portrayed in Fruits Basket but in the end, both make two different series worth watch. :-)
