I think there's no possible way that Yuugen Kaisha and Ghost Sweeper Mikami can't be compared to each other. The stories and characters are so similar that it's shocking: each involves a leading lady who is a penny pincher, and a ragtag crew of cohorts alongside her. Together, they take jobs involving the supernatural, either helping thwart it or help it to another reality. Each is a blend of comedy and action, though Yuugen Kaisha is far superior on every level to Ghost Sweeper Mikami.
