Jigoku Shoujo and Shugofumi involves interaction of normal human life and the supernatural. The two of them features different sets of characters and different cases in each episode, but the story ultimately led to the main characters who happens to be the key in all of what's happening.
The main chracter of Shigofumi, Fumika looks and have similar characteristics to Momo of Shinigami no Ballad (i.e. white hair and an unemotional voice). They also have colourful assistants in Kanaka and Daniel, respectively. Furthermore, both anime deals with death and about the people that are (or will be) left behind. However, Shinigami no Ballad is a lighter series than Shigofumi.
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.
This anime has the same level of thrill. It's not as good as the death note masterpiece but it is really good. I recomend it to all thrill seekers
When I was watching Pandora Hearts, the psychological aspects so far seemed similar to Shigofumi.
Both shows deal with "life after death," sort of themes and the afterlife colliding with the normal world to form some disturbing results.
The plotlines are very different, but the two series share the theme of Postal services, and there's a similar style with Uniform design, letters, and exploring the stories of characters that the protagonist meets.
dramatics beyond belief (you are kept constantly on the edge of your seat), extremely bittersweet taste, leaving u feeling reflective. deep deep dramas on the human essence of life and aspects of life.....powerful
Both involve trust and betrayal and are highly emotional. These are the only two anime that made me cry. You care for the characters and feel their pain. Both series are very intriguing and keep you interested to the end. Shigofumi is somewhat episodic but it still has a strong central storyline.
Both have Shigonami, though in Bleach it is the concept that they take the souls to their final destination, in Shigonami, it is deleivering the last message of the dearly departed to the living. Appologies for the spelling of a certain word.
both delivering letters to their destinations
They're both produced by GENCO, based on a light novel series by Amamiya Ryo, illustrated by Poko.

supernatural/fantasy genres. both excellent watches. natsume is more relaxing and more on the supernatural side, whilst shigofumi has action and is dark
Both of them concentrate about death. Jigoku Shoujo is sending people to hell and in Shigofumi you recive letters from dead people. Both tells not only about main characters but also about random people and their problems, for example bullying. Jigoku Shoujo has every episodes in creepy climat, Shigofumi has half of episodes like this.
both highlight the weaknesses of humans, as well as their strengths. emotional, dramatical, psychological anime which has you thinking a lot. both has excellent character development and storylines, though uta kata is more magical girl (but very very dark) whilst shigofumi is more hellish in that it is letters from the dead. both good watches
Both shows star girls doing important work for the good of the world, at the price of certain negative alterations to their bodies (robotic implants in GG and losing the abilty to grow older in Shigofumi).

They also both have structures that are based on smaller, one-episode plots that build up the story of the main chracters.
Both of these shows are pretty misleading at first, with Shigofumi seeming like a magical girl anime, and Higurashi a harem/slice-of-life show. Both shows are also school-muder-dramas, and both shows have characters who scream "USODA" repeatedly.
They both have a reflective and contemplative view on life. While in Shigofumi, you see how humans react to the unaltered and unaffected words of the dead. In ef, you see the reactions and encounters of people who are nearly dead (in an emotion sense) but yield interesting enough personalities, dreams, ideas, and activities that they began to rediscover their passions in an all too well-flowing story. This is the biggest similarity between the two shows as Shigofumi also takes lessons from a few of its short arcs and builds its main monotone character as well.
supernatural, psychological, action-packed thrillers. both are expressed in different arcs, consisting of unique and very clever storylines. darker than black however is more based on the strange phenomena of people having strange powers and "hell's gate" whilst shigofumi is based on letters from the recently dead; but both are very dramatic dark anime which has lots of character development and intriguing twists and turns as well as tension and even gruesome parts. both good watches which require some thought (darker than black more so).
the same school/youth setting. both good dramas, and has good action. ghost hunt is more supernatural (crime involving supernatural phenomena) whilst shigofum is more serious and darker/more gruesome (letters from the dead which stir up trouble), but both are good watches. also has a very small touch of comedy to both of them.
H2O is much more romance slice of life drama, whilst shigofumi is episodic and supernatural, however both are excellent dramas and shows the psychology of humans; having both unique characters and the influence on other humans on each other. both also have a very dark feel to them. and both a brilliant watch.
both are episodic, brilliant dramas, with lots of action, tension, horror and twists and turn to each unique story. both have excellently thought out characters and their influence on each arc. shigofumi is more violent and psychological, whilst xxxholic is more comedy based, however both are supernatural and have a dark meaningful insight into the ways of humans.
Both are episodic stories of girls, with missions relating to the afterlife.
supernatural stuff. shigofumi is much more dark and has violence, whilst mushishi is more relaxing and less dark/action. both good though
