If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Saraiya Goyou add

There is a relaxed feel to both anime. Good for a rainy day when the pace will not bore you to death. At times it can seem a bit dark and sad, but at the same time, it's light hearted and doesn't sadden you too much. You'll enjoy one if you like the other, when you're in the right kind of mood to watch it ;)

If you liked Samurai Champloo add

...then you might like Saraiya Goyou add

Samurai Story. In genre these anime are totally different as far as action, comedy, adventure, etc. They are however historical and involve samurai, so if you are search of those, you might like to watch Saraiya, but don't expect to see a lot of fighting in it.

If you liked Gankutsuou add

...then you might like Mononoke add

They are both like an animated painting. With beautiful patterns rather than colours and shading, which give an quite an abstract and slightly creepy feel to it.

If you liked Beck add

...then you might like Over Drive add

The plots are totally different but they are both quite realistic stories of teams joining together and fighting to be their best. If you like the realistic style you'll enjoy watching both of these. And even learn a bit of stuff about music and bike riding that you didn't know before.

If you liked Special A add

...then you might like Five add

Both mangas follow the everyday crazy adventures of the small group of the smartest kids in the school. They both have very similar plots.

If you liked Otogizoushi add

...then you might like Mononoke add

Historical, abstract, done like a painting, and done with sounds of old japanese theater. Although mononoke is much more abstract, the animation style and sounds of Otogizoushi reminded me instantly of mononoke.

If you liked Phantom The Animation add

...then you might like add

A similar story behind the girl who became a hitman.

If you liked Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan add

...then you might like Juuni Kokuki add

12 Kingdoms takes place in an historical fantasy world full of demons and mythical creatures while Kenshin's world is a lot more realistic in the Meiji era of Japan. But both stories rely heavily on the history of their world. I was reminded of Rurouni Kenshin while watching 12 kingdoms. If you like one, you might like the other.

If you liked Juuni Kokuki add

...then you might like Kiba add

the main characters get dragged into a vast and warring fantasy world. and in both of them the friends who entered their world together somehow end up on opposing sides.

If you liked Seirei no Moribito add

...then you might like Kemono no Souja Erin add

Although Seirei seems more mature from the start and Erin has more of a pastel different sort of animation, both animes have a similar feel to them. They both take place in an historical fantasy world and heavily focus on the character development of both the child and their parent/guardian. Sometimes when Balsa's motherly side shows through reminded me of Erin's mother. There also seems to be quite a bit of herbology in both.

If you liked Mushishi add

...then you might like Moyashimon add

There are only a select few people who can see the small creatures that are always there but most people can't see. Both animes are somewhat light hearted and have an earthy feel... if that makes sense.

If you liked Shaman King add

...then you might like Ueki no Housoku add

Similar stories. Boy gets super power and fights to be the best. When I saw one I was reminded of the other.
