although very different in vibe and approach, they might be seen similar in the sense of human stories, that connect to the afterlife. i think, that's why i was reminded "sell your haunted house" while watching the other.
in "sell your haunted house" it's about humans turning into vengeful spirits due to unfinished or resentful circumstances, that bind them emotionally to the world of the living. to free them into moving on, the fm needs to understand and unravel parts of their human story. in "light shop" people are also somehow stuck and their back stories slowly reveal how. whilst in "sell your haunted house" people are definitely dead but unable to leave by themselves, "light shop" depicts their decision making between different states.
the factors, that connect both series, are the human stories of people in death-related states and the emotional depths of situations in which people cling to life and the living. "light shop"'s approach is a much more masterful one, though - no doubt.
