Shigofumi

Similar protagonist with a talking object as their companion, although Shigofumi isn't all about exploring different people and so on like Kino's Journey is, as Shigofumi actually contains a major story. Also, the character designer of the original Kino no tabi did the first draft character design for Shigofumi, just thought that was worth mentioning out of interest.
1) Fumika and Kino are EXTREMELY similar in personality. When you see Fumika in combat, you think "KINO!" right away.
2) There's a talking staff (Kanaka) in Shigofumi as there is a talking motorcycle (Hermes) in Kino no Tabi.
3) Both are episodic series
Both series are amazing, so if you love one, you'll defiantly love the other.

Both Shigofumi and Kino are a series of short stories about the sometimes gentle, sometimes darker side of human life and nature. While Shigofumi deals with the feels of the living left by the dead and the last words of the departed, Kino is about life, and the many sides of human nature. Both Kino and Fumika are detached observers witnessing the events that unfold, though Kino tends to offer more dry sarcasim and commentary, since Fumika is fairly quiet. Both Hermes and Kanaka give their shares of insights to the events while serving up regular amounts of comic relief to the sometimes dark stories.
Both are episodic, and are more about one-episode stories and characters that only appear once. Both main characters are expert gunslingers and are considered more observers of the world around them than actual characters.

somwhat a similar atmosphere
but kino is more philosofical and shigofumi more dramatic
Episodic series that give us lesson to accept the truth no matter how unfair it is. Main characters have a talking-object-partner, Kino with her talking-motorcycle (Hermes) and Fumika with her talking-staff (Kanaka). Fumika and Kino also have same personalities, rather silence and observe the happened event than interfere it.
Episodic anime dealing with dark themes. Depressing at times. Similar main characters who carry guns, have a talking object partner, and act as observers.
An emotionless girl living in a cruel world, both with a dark past that gets revealed later as the show progresses. Both shows have a episodic storyline with each episode introducing new characters that have their own story. (though shigofumi develops more of a plot later on, whereas kino no tabi is episodic all the way through).
Both Shigofumi and Kino are episodic series. These two anime give us lesson to accept the truth no matter how unfair it is. they have verry similar atmosphere ( dark, drama, depressing at times) There's a talking staff (Kanaka) in Shigofumi as there is a talking motorcycle (Hermes) in Kino no Tabi. Fumika and Kino are similar in personality.
They both very great anime! :)
Similar storytelling like a female lead that is somewhat stoic/reserved and quite a bit of focus on its philosophical storytelling as well too.

Short, sometimes dark stories about different people, always involving a main pair of characters with a small recurring cast. That pair of characters is very similar, composed of a person that holds a gun and a talking object/vehicle, with really fun chemistry and interactions, sharing the same original character designer. But while Kino no Tabi is an adaptation of an ongoing novel, even receiving a reboot, the main difference of Shigofumi is that it is an original anime that, alongside it's episodic storylines, builds a complex character-driven narrative that starts and ends during it's run, though getting expanded in an OVA.
Anime not really known all that well, but worth your time if you like to explore human values. Both are dark, and focus on a stoic protagonist with a talking inanimate companion.
Kino seems to be the friendlier one compared to Fumika, who only wishes to do her job. However, both of these characters unveil the world around them and that's what makes these shows special.

Imagine a demure, quiet traveler accompanied by a sentient piece of equipment who journeys from place to place, meeting and helping a wide variety of people but never staying in one place long, all while contemplating philosophical topics
