Ou Dorobou Jing
|
Despite being an episodic series, Ou Dorobou Jing has some similarities to D.Gray-man. Both are fantasy stories with a gothic aesthetic, and Jing and Allen are two protagonists shrouded in mystery who travel the world facing numerous challenges, always accompanied by their flying partners. Jing and Allen also possess powers related to their arms, with both being able to transform them into powerful weapons; the difference is that Jing uses his right arm, while Allen uses his left. Hoshino doesn't mention it, but I'm sure she drew a lot of inspiration from Ou Dorobou Jing, especially its sequel (and Trigun too, but let's leave that for another recommendation).

Ga-Rei

I believe Ga-Rei was heavily inspired and influenced by Bleach; both series feature a young main character who can see spirits and supernatural beings, but whose life is turned upside down after meeting a mysterious girl who possesses the same abilities as him. If you liked the beginning of Bleach and its urban fantasy aesthetic, then you'll love Ga-Rei.
