Both deal with the spiritual world and both man characters are powerful, but powerless because they don't know how to use it.

Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi

If Mnemosyne had terrible art/animation, but a lot less hentai/fanservice it would be called kemonozume. They both have the same "feel", completely different story lines. Kemonozume's storyline is a lot more mature and refined, so don't let the art throw you off.

What's unfortunately rare in anime is: both these anime treat the viewers with respect. They don't need to repeat the plot/point or make things blatantly obvious, they assume that we're all intelligent people with our own personal opinions that can come to our own conclusions. And that's what really made these 2 distinct series shine. Both are made by Manglobe, but that's not why you'd enjoy one if you enjoyed the other. As far as setting goes, it's the complete opposite: feudal Japan vs post apocalyptic. Characters are also quiet different, but any good anime has character's so unique that only in a sequel would their personalities be reproduced. Though superficially the plot my look different but both are quiet similar: main character out on a journey to find out who they are [internally/as a person]. Samurai champloo takes a more comical approach to issues presented, but still has an appealing serious undertone. While ergo proxy puts all the philosophy out in the open Samurai Champloo leaves it up to the viewers to determine what it is.

Both have that "calm" feeling to them, although their storylines are quiet different. If you liked that sense of peacefulness (even during the action parts), this is a must watch.
