Both animes deal with supernatural beings and have cases that are based on myths and hearsays (they even used a similar tale as a basis for one of their stories). The two animes also plays on human flaws as well as the need to seek for truth. However, Hundred Stories is definitely more violent than Mononoke. Though they do not use the same style, the cinematography of these two animes are also quite unique.
Episodic tales of the supernatural, presented with a unique and distinctive visual style, and tied together by an enigmatic main character.

These animes are stories about mononoke, based on Japanese legends and rumors. Main characters are grim and mysterious (I guess the only exception is Momosuke-sensei) and they deal with evil spirits. And, in both animes, the truth about reasons of birth of mononoke is sometimes much more violent than mononoke’s actions. Besides, both of animes have unusual, but not similar art style.

Both series have quite distinctive art style, though not same. Mononoke use brigter colours, where Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari is more muted and use darker colours.
In both series story revolves around supernatural in form of human depravities or ghosts or other creatures. Both are heavily influenced by japanese folklore and myths. Both are set around edo period of Japan. Both are for older audience in tone, though Mononoke is not as violent.
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.

Both series are supernatural crime Investigation anthologies in which supernatural entities solve cold murder cases (Mononoke: Medicine Seller, 100 Stories: Group of Specialists plus MC). Both are set mainly in the Edo period. Both have a distinct expressionist art style, albeit not the same. Both touch themes too dark and taboo for most anime, e.g. abortion (Mononoke), necrophilia, paternal incest, and cannibalism (100 stories). Both have skillful story telling with good twists and creative ideas. Mononoke's cases span several episodes, whereas 100 stories is episodic and solves all but one cases in a single episode. Mononoke is the better series, but both scratch the same
