Mysterious and compelling thrillers defined by their atmospheric settings - remote, isolated country villages with a knack for outbreaks of the supernatural variety (perhaps not the best real estate pitch!). Both series also offer a great character study, fantastically eerie background music, and a pretty interesting take on human nature. Shiki is probably the darker, more focused of the two, while Ghost Hound tends to have more slice of life.

The animes have a similar atmosphere. The setting is almost the same and they both tell a catching supernatural story, though they aren't really full of action but more easy going. Sunako and Miyako seem a bit similar, too.
If you like mysterious towns with supernatural happenings, these are two of the best. They both slowly unravel the story and nature of these supernatural cases, gradually letting their characters understand what's going on. In Shiki, the viewer is fully aware of everything by the halfway point, whereas in Shinreigari it's much more of a slow burn. While I have massive issues with the actual ending of Shinreigari, the mood is undoubtedly similar to Shiki. They are slow but intentional, with great suspenseful moments and lots to say.
These supernatural thrillers have similar plots in-which the regular world and a supernatural world begin to overlap. Each anime also has a similar atmosphere; a somewhat creepy but more mysterious feel. The audio and visuals of both are also of topnotch quality. If you enjoyed the feel of one then you will enjoy the feel of the other.
The whole time I was watching Shiki I couldn't help but think of ghost hound. While they are not similar plot wise, they both have very similar settings, ghost hound also contains mystery and some horror.
If you are looking for an anime similar to shiki atmosphere wise then ghost hound is a must watch.
Very similar atmosphere and setting. Both are effectively horror/mystery/thrillers, however Shiki is more successful at creating a cohesive story.
Ghost Hound has a very strong start in regard to horror/mystery elements, perhaps stronger than Shiki, but it fails to follow through during the second half as the story shifts in tone (however, it's still well worth watching, so don't let that information stop you from checking it out).
Despite the plots not being very similar, the whole vibe of both anime are very similar.
-A mystery anime with subtle and pleasantly paced horror along with a strong psychological element and dramatic climax-
This sentence can describe both anime, of course, if you are not one willing to watch a slow building anime and go straight to the action, I would say you wouldn't be a fan of these. But if you enjoy a slow build to the extravagant end, these anime are perfect for you.
