Synopsis:

Shizuru and Mizuki are two quiet sisters who have a foot in the world of the supernatural. While Shizuru can see the spirits and monsters who haunt mankind, Mizuki can't help but become possessed by them. Together, the duo live with their grandparents and are taught about the spiritual world from their grandfather, a powerful exorcist. In the serene countryside, the girls will learn about the ghosts and goblins that co-exist in our world, while also learning about themselves and their abilities.

Mushishi

Mushishi main image

It isn't unusual for a person to feel that the world around them is strange and has unexpected secrets lying just beyond their sight. However, for most people this is just an occasional sensation that greets them upon awakening or chases them into sleep. For the mushi researcher Ginko, it isn't a feeling at all; it is a knowledge which guides his travels and motivates his life. Found in the cracks between what is conceivable and what is not, are the varied life forms collectively known as mushi. They surround us and affect us, but their intensely different nature makes them unrecognizable to most. Ginko brings these life forms into perspective for the lives of those most affected and most in need of an explanation.

Mushishi, like Mokke, deals with a person who has the ability to see spirits; the only difference is, it's a lot better in every way. The animation is better, the characters are better, and overall it's just better. If you liked Mokke, try out the far superior Mushishi.

abunai

Where Mokke deals with the traditional kami of Japanese Shinto mythology and folklore, Mushishi conveys a story of a different kind of beings, the mushi, not so much supernatural as simply belonging to a different order of nature -- "hypernatural", if you will. Nevertheless, both anime have a similar atmosphere, and feature the attempts of humans to deal with the intersection between normal human life and these other entities. If you like the one, you will probably enjoy the other.

Mushishi are similar in many ways. Both have a calm atmosphere as they deal with the hidden side of Japanese folklore. If you liked one, you'll absolutely like the other too :).

Both of these focus on supernatural creatures that are neither good nor evil. It's just that the existence of humans and these creatures sometimes overlaps and cause incidents: dangerous ones, pleasant ones, and some that have no real effect on either party. They both feel like a poetic reflection on life and death.

KiraRin

Dealing with supernatural beings and their effects on innocent peoples everyday lives, both Mokke and Mushishi are a slow paced amble through these worlds. Fascinating story telling and outstanding characters make these two shows the perfect partners.

kenikki

Both are shows about some form of supernaturality and they both a bit slower pacing than most shows and they also have bit of a dark mood surrounding their stories.

My Neighbor Totoro

Alt titles: Tonari no Totoro

My Neighbor Totoro main image

Satsuki, her younger sister Mei and their father have just moved to their new home in the countryside, where grand adventures await them. One day while playing outside in the garden Mei encounters a small creature and decides to follow it. After chasing it through the bushes Mei eventually finds herself at the base of a large Camphor tree and as she drops through a hole in its roots, she lands on the stomach of a large, sleeping forest spirit named Totoro. The two sisters befriend the gentle spirit and are soon introduced to a world more fantastical than they could ever imagine, from playing with soot spirits to meeting a Catbus, to flying through the air and even making the trees grow. However when Mei disappears, Satsuki must call on the help of her new friends if she wants any hope of being able to find her sister...

My Neighbor Totoro and Mokke are both incredibly slow tales of girls who are exploring a country life with bizarre spirits and monsters. Totoro is far more classic and Mokke is far more uninteresting, but I think fans of one might like the other.

vnikey

It doesn't take much see the parallel between the little girls Mizuki (from Mokke) and Mei (from Totoro). Each one of them lives with ghosts and tengu of the Spiritual world. Mizuki and Mei being very young, their behaviour towards spirits is honest and free of doubt or fear... which makes you smile all along.

If you enjoyed the happy feeling watching one of these anime, you will like the other one too for sure :)

LLORAtheLLAMA

Both Mokke and My Neighbor Totoro are slow-paced tales of sisters who find different and interesting spirits. If you're a fan of one, you might like the other (though, I felt Mokke was kinda boring).

Kamichu!

Kamichu! main image

Both Mokke and Kamichu! are anime that build on the complex and rich mythology and folklore of Japan's Shinto heritage. Furthermore, both anime bring into close focus the lives and personal struggles of ordinary girls caught up in an unavoidable presence of the supernatural in their everyday world. If you like one, you will surely like the other.

kenikki

Mokke and Kamichu shares an interest in japanese mythologies and folklore and the stars of each show is a little girl who's able to see spirits and various supernatural creatures. The main differences would be that in Kamichu, the lead becomes a god and is thus supposed to engage with them on an ordinary basis while in Mokke the girl just tries to avoid and live her life under more normal circumstances.

Binbou Shimai Monogatari

Alt titles: Poor Sisters Story

Binbou Shimai Monogatari main image

Two sisters sharing a close bond, united against some form of adversity -- this is a common thread that runs through Mokke and Binbou Shimai Monogatari. The adversity can be either supernatural or economic, but its constant pressure reveals the sisters' mutual love. Moreover, the intimate way their relationship is depicted is similar in both anime.

Cetonis

Mokke and Binbou Shimai Monogatari are each warm slice-of-life tales about a pair of sisters, and their bonds with one another. Not much more to say; though Mokke has a supernatural element instead of Binbou's financial issues, neither factor really dominates its respective anime enough to keep these two from feeling like a pair.

XXXHOLiC

XXXHOLiC main image

Kimihiro Watanuki is cursed with the ability to see evil spirits known as Youkai. Due to this power, the Youkai are attracted to him like a magnet, and each time he is close to being devoured. One day, fate drew him to a strange store and there, he met Yuuko, who was dressed in a very exquisite fashion. As destiny would have it, Yuuko has the ability to save Kimihiro from seeing the Youkai, but for a price: Kimihiro must work for Yuuko by performing chores around the store and other odd tasks, until she deems fit. With his "friend" Doumeki, and his secret crush Himawari, they will discover that the world they live in is nowhere close to ordinary!

The resemblance between Mokke's and xXxHoliC's storylines is pretty obvious: both anime tell the stories of children who have the ability to see and thus interact with ghosts and spirits. They have to learn how to live with their ability and how use it for good. Just as Mizuki and Shizuru have their grandfather to teach them, Watanuki has the lovely witch Yûko who helps him to understand the world on the other side...

kenikki

xxxHOLiC is more of a supernatural horror while Mokke is more of a supernatural fantasy, but they're still both episodic shows about supernatural creatures and phenomenons. They both have a tendancy to tell and show that dealing with these supernatural situations isn't all wonderful and happy, but that it can have serious and dangerous concequences.
