25 [Similar Anime] Like The Morose Mononokean

Very similar premise about a person dealing with various Youkai. Natsume's Book of Friends is definitely the better of the two, very calming and relaxing, comical, and also eerie/tense at the same time. Still, if you are looking for more Youkai interactions and interesting characters/designs, both of these are good picks.

Same type of story, a boy that want to someone help him with a yokai and finished with a due, and help his heroe

In my opinion these two are sort of under rated/unknown series (especially FnM) compared to the mainstream ones and end up not getting enough attention, even tho they both deserve more!
They are different from eachother but yet have some strong common points:
- supernatural genre is a very important theme to both, although Noragami tends to have more action while FnM gets to be more dramatic
- creatures like gods, ayakashi, youkai, spirits and whatsover are daily routine for both stories (Noragami is specially mainly setted on gods)
- both main characters have to deal with exorcisms, particoularly FnM, but while the usual term "exorcism" is treated like our classic understanding of it in Noragami (as in: exorcise a bad spirit); in FnM instead the exorcism is nothing of the sort, it's actually a good thing for a spirit being exorcised as it can get him "home", therefor we get to see the point of view of spirits, ayakashi and such which is not that common for series that involve exorcisms. We can say that in FnM the word exorcism shows us a whole brand new idea for it.
- both stories evolve around a job (granting wishes in Noragami and requests of exorcism in FnM), a -supernatural- job, of course.
- like in many series with the supernatural genre, both are about a special world that coexist with ours but that not everyone has the ability to see it or its extraordinary creatures
- they are both a breath of fresh air

Both are about the supernatural beings.
Fukigen has a more lighthearted undertone as compared to Mayonaka.
Both will introduce you to the supernatural creatures as casually as their context allow.
And from what I can tell, both have great potential to develop further, but are just not getting enough exposure.
Both animes are currently only showing the very beginning of their stories, though you can expect the story to develop well if given the chance, they do wrap up the anime without a cliffhanger so you don't feel a sense of great loss if a continuation is not in planning.
The concept for both animes are interesting and amusing, so do give the other a shot and check it out.

Shows about yokai/mononoke/spirits.

They both have an MC that gets sucked into the dealing with ayakashi/youkai because of a debt. Both MCs work hard at their new job while slowly getting to know the ayakashi/youkai and become friends.

A reluctant protagonist dropped into the world of youkai, exorcists, and the supernatural and ends up deeply appreciating the situation...growing from it. High school setting. Interesting characters and overall design. Excellent background detail.

Both series share similar comedy.
Both are revolved around school and youkai.
Both involve a separate dimension for the youkai to live in.

These two anime series both involve supernatural beings, which also could be referred as youkai or in the other case as mushishi. Both these series have a very unique atmosphere and pacing and are definitely a great watch.

Similar plot line with spirits, exorcisms, yokai, etc. Also similar with BL subtext (or more with Ling Qi), as well as master/servant dynamic.

Similar supernatural themes, as well as (arguable) BL subtext and master/subordinate dynamic.

Master/servant dynamics, cinnamon roll characters, dealing with spirits (often helping them), BL subtext, priests, shinto themes, yokai, and an all around similar atmosphere.

Both story-telling are episodic at the start (But for Jigoku, it took about 1.5 season of such episodic story telling before the overarching story starts to build up)
Both shows you a glimpse of the other world (Fukigen definitely portrays it much more colourful and fun)
Both MC helps their client from their problems that essentially meant involving the other world (Both MC are like agents of this other world)
Both MC have an underlying dark past that reveals slowly throughout the show

If you enjoy silly comedies that focus more on entertaining you and less on keeping a consistent plot, then both these anime fit said criteria well. Both shows focus the interactions of a human with non-human entities, and how, eventually, he befriends them and realizes the existence of a world he was entirely unaware of.
The bromances between both the MCs are cute too!

Both feature light hearted comedy.
Both present characters in a form of debt.
Both are given a unique ability to see/hear things others cant.

❃ Both anime are about Yokai/spirits
❃ Both protagonists ask for help to the other main character and end up working for them to pay off a debt

Both anime have a powerful supernatural person and a good-natured but a tad stupid companion. The duos solve cases together involving non-human stuff.

Both titles are extremely similar

Both are heartwarming and humorous animes that deal with humans who are able to see and interact youkai/spirits.

Both are slice-of-life series featuring supernatural motifs (youkai) with some comedy thrown in. In both cases the main characters are teenagers. In overall, they share the feeling of being flung between two worlds.

MC is similar in both shows
He helps out with weird creatures
The girl has a similar character to the owner of the mononokean
The style is almost the same

- High School setting
- Mononoke/yokai/spirits
- Teenage cast
- Colourful
- Playful dialogue

- Depictions of the Underworld/Hell in a very 'normal' way.
- Mononoke/bakemono/yokai/spirits/oni/etc. etc.
- MC with resting bitch faces.

The personalities of Abeno and Ashiya remind me of Tazuki and Sora. Both series also have a cute mascot (Moja & Mii-kun) while featuring other creatures on an episodic basis. Both series are recommended if you're looking for a slow-paced, cute, relaxing series.
