Like Mushishi, Natsume Yuujinchou really benefits from colour, motion, music and voices. It takes their atmosphere to the next level.
That said, I do enjoy NY more, perhaps because the 'otherworldliness' is made almost domestic? I mean, Mushishi can feel like quite a cold barren world, albeit interposed with moments of wonder, but it has this tendency to rip my heart out and stomp on it, whereas NY tends to be quite comforting, and is at it's saddest, more bittersweet than anything else.
