Both are set in post-World War II Japan, these anime center around underprivileged boys who navigate the tumultuous landscapes of juvenile incarceration, the pugilistic realm of boxing, and a profoundly poignant journey filled with tragedy and heart-wrenching drama.

The main characters in Mushishi and Natsume Yuujinchou can see spirits and work to help them with their problems. Both stories are mostly episodic with a relaxed tone. Mushishi's style is more dramatic, whereas Natsume Yuujinchou's is more comedic.

...then you might like Serial Experiments Lain add

Both have a bleak visual aesthetic, and a quiet, contemplative, female protagonist who takes morally ambiguous actions. Both works explore the impact of technology and the internet on identity, and on the connection between consciousness and people's physical forms.

If you liked Death Parade add

...then you might like Violet Evergarden add

Aside from stunning visuals, both protagonists have a lot in common and share qualities; both are professional in anything they do. Through their jobs, in both anime, they try to empathize with humans properly and understand human feelings. Violet Evergarden focuses on the “weight of words,” Death Parade fixates on how “actions are louder than words.” Death Parade is more psychological oriented and Violet Evergaden is primarily a drama.

Both are anime movies directed by Satoshi Kon. The plots of both anime have surreal elements, blurring the line between reality and dreams, and characters struggling with their identity.

Both of these anime follow an ambitious lead with tons of action and great characters

If you liked 91 Days add

Both of these shows are about revenge and what that can do to a person. Both shows have different ways they go about it

If you liked Usagi Drop add

...then you might like Spy x Family add

Wholesome anime where a child is adopted into a family and they learn and grow from raising a child. Usagi drop is more slice of life and Spy x Family has a little bit of action and comedy mixed in so they are very similar.

If you liked Wu Shan Wu Xing (2020) add

...then you might like Cike Wu Liuqi add

These Chinese anime's are hidden gems that both have unique animation styles and are not as time consuming as most shows, one being 3 episodes long and the other having very short 13 minute episodes, so they are worth a shot.

If you liked Overlord add

...then you might like Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken add

Both have overpowered main characters that lead a group of strong subordinates and try to expand the influence of their kingdom. In Overlord the fantasy world is in a game and in the other it is just a fantasy isekai world so there are a lot of similarities between the two.
