Classic western anime stories had a significant impact by introducing new themes and art styles. They expanded the range of storylines and influenced the way anime was produced and perceived.
Well, 'Kino's Journey' can be considered as having some relation to Western philosophical concepts often explored in Western novels. It tells the story of a traveler named Kino who visits different countries and experiences various cultures and ideas. The exploration of different values and worldviews in the anime is similar to how Western novels often delve into different ways of thinking. It's a very thought - provoking anime in this regard.
There are many anime from Western mythology and Norse mythology. Here are some examples:
1 The Elder Scrolls series: This is an open world action role-playing game developed by Beresda Softworks that also contains some elements of Norse mythology.
Despicable Me: This is an animated film that tells the story of a villain becoming a good person. It also contains some elements of Norse mythology.
3. Attack on Titan: This is a Japanese manga and animation story created by Shokuyama. It takes place in a world occupied by giants and also contains some elements of Norse mythology.
Gintama: This is a Japanese manga and animation that tells a funny and relaxing adventure story that also contains some elements of Norse mythology.
5 Sword Art Online: This is a virtual reality adventure game developed by Sword Art Online, which also contains some elements of Norse mythology.
These are just some examples. There are many other anime works that contain elements of Western mythology or Norse mythology. You can choose according to your preferences.
😋I recommend the following novels to you. They are all Western fantasy novels with knights and mages. I believe you will like them:

2. "Warhammer Throne": At the end of the world, Chaos rose, and God's Chosen One, Rhode, descended to the Northern Kingdom of Kisliff, the frontline of the war against Chaos. However, what awaited him was endless darkness…(There were both magical elements of swords and magic, as well as the tense atmosphere of war and decisive battles)
3. "Dragon King": This is an era full of hope, and the advancement of arcana has started the era of plane colonization. The reader will follow the protagonist from another time and space, explore this extremely dangerous kingdom, and experience the confrontation between light and darkness. (Dragons, mages, battles)

One major difference is the target audience. Western novels are often written with a Western readership in mind, while anime based on them are targeting a more global, especially anime - loving audience. This can lead to changes in the content. For example, some complex Western cultural references in the novel might be simplified or explained more clearly in the anime. Another difference is the medium - specific elements. Anime has music, voice acting, and animation techniques. The music can set the mood, voice acting can bring characters to life in a different way than just reading the words in a novel, and animation can create fantastical worlds that are difficult to fully imagine while reading. Additionally, the anime might cut or expand certain sub - plots depending on what is more appealing to the anime audience.
