Both of every episode is a story short, we are solved in it. Both contain supernatural theme. Even without any similarity in the story. Both have a calm, except for a few episodes.

Both anime are episodic in nature. Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) delves into stories where people face menacing situations, and to what length people will go to escape their reality. Details about the protagonist (Enma Ai) are sparse at first, but slowly accumulate as the series progresses, similar to how Mushishi slowly unravels Ginko's over time. Mushishi is much more lax in it's storytelling, letting the landscape and environment tell the plot, whereas Jigoku Shoujo focuses greatly on the character interactions. Despite the difference in storytelling, both anime deal with the supernatural and showcase the consequences of impulsive actions.

Both are episodic in nature. Both have a similar atmosphere (art and music in particular). Both have awful theme songs (but who cares haha). Mushishi is a bit more relaxed and chill where Hell Girl is a bit darker. I think you'll certainly like both.
