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.
Altought Shinigami no ballad has less episodes it still looks like shigofumi. Both have girls who work for the afterlife and in shigofumi they have an staff and SNB has a cat. Every episode is a diffrent story in both anime.
Both involve supernatural girls and a non human partner observing and sometimes interfering with the lives of others, especially the surviving friends/family of the recently departed.
Did you like Shigofumi? Well, Shinigami no Ballad has a similar theme, however, it's a step before something the Shigofumi's would be sent. Both Momo and Fumika have similar attitudes, and there's also a cool sidekick! Daniel and Kanaka!
Both anime are about beings from the world of the dead interacting with the living: in Shigofumi we have a girl delivering a letter from a dead person, in Shinigami no Ballad we have a girl tasked with taking the dead people to the afterworld, but usually she also helps them straight things out before their departure or even watch over living in the dead's person stead.
It should be noted, that Shinigami no Ballad is only a collection of unconnected stories (with the exception of main heroine) unlike the Shigofumi.

Both animes are sad and dramatic...
I think they're really similar, and whoever watched Shinigami No Ballad will like Hanbun No Tsuki Ga Noboru Sora.
both are sweet animes about death. Shinigami no Ballad is about a shinigami choosing whose life to take by watching the human live. Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora is a romantic story about a girl who didnt have much time to live. if you liked any of these 2 animes, then you will surely like the other one.
Very calm animes, and stories are all sad to begin with. Moreover both are short animes and you enjoy them for sure.

Both are pretty chill series with some nice stories. If you liked one, there's a good chance you'll like the other.
While Shinigami no Ballad focuses on death and the effects of the lives of those after loved ones perish, and Aria focuses on life as a gondola boatsperson, both have very similiar aspects. The laid back slice of life, moral-of-the-story type anime makes both likeable. Personally, I prefered Aria, but both are decently enjoyable if you are looking to ease a day's stress away.
Both are slow, relaxed, sleep-inducing short anime of the slice of life genre and with basically no character development at all.
Even though Akari & Momo have opposite personalities, both of them come into contact with many people because of their work, and always try to help them.

I feel that the main characters have alot incomment with their personallity. and the anime type is praktikly the same
Both animes have to do with a young girl delivering peoples' souls. Both are sad, though Jigoku Shoujo is a bit darker.

Both just give me that similar feeling, and i love them both. However, Shinigami no Ballad could have been much better unfortunatly, not living up to the novels. While Kino's Travels does, a masterpiece in everyway.

Short, episodic, slow-paced series about people who work through their problems with the help of an unusual source.

The main characters are similar in the sense that they deliver messages from those who died and generally try to reach some closure, though one is a shinigami (reaper) and the other has the job of delivering shigofumi (letters from the dead). Iin Ballad it's not always about someone who died, but it could be someone who was close to dieing, but they are both about reaching closure. There's a sense of mystery to each episode presenting situations that are revealed and influenced with the interference of the main character as an "outside" entity.
