Can anyone tell me if there is any anime on the list which has any of these traits:
Historical, Mythology, Astrology, Legends, Mythological monsters (Youkais preferred)
I liked shows like Mushishi, Natsume's book of friends and Arakawa under the bridge.
I cooked up a list for you but be wary that all of them are nothing like Mushishi or Natsume. And me calling them stories about 'legends' or 'mythological monsters' could be pushing it a little too much, regardless I think all of these are great.
Katanagatari - Shichika and qt Togame are looking for 12 legendary swords. It's gorgeous, the characters are all interesting, the character development is believable and it's just overall fantastic.
Fate/Zero - Battle royale with legendary heroes from the past. Expect to see King Arthur battle with Alexander the Great.
Bakemonogatari - The closest thing to Mushishi that isn't Natsume that I could think of, although it isn't at all like them.
