Yona of the Dawn can be found on Crunchyroll for free with commercials.
As I recall, The Heroic Legend of Arslan is a novel series which has had two mangas based off of it. The 1992 series is based off the earlier manga, and the new series is based off a current one. I don't know if either has gone back to the novels to get things that the mangas changed/skipped.
More in the realm of Mushi-shi, I would recommend a look at Kino's Journey, and Haibane Renmei (both somewhat light on plot, sadly, but the latter is excellent in every other way).
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is one of the best things to come out of anime in the last several years (along with Mushishi). I would also recommend Girls und Panzer, as a delightful farce that works (and avoids all fanservice when it would have been easy to do). (less)
Similar to Mushi-shi is Natsume's Book of Friends.
Natsume's Book of Friends is amazing, the only downside is that it never got dubbed in English and the two OVA episodes haven't been licensed yet. Hoping that will change in the future!
Lois, I've not yet seen the older version of Arslan. It's based off the same manga as the new series, which is a reboot. That and the other two series I mentioned can be watched legally on http://www.funimation.com although it's possible Funmation may partner up with Netflix at some point. (Currently my favorite anime on Netflix is The Seven Deadly Sins)
Available on Netflix I have been particularly enjoying Durarara. I second the recommendation of Kino's Journey and Haibane Renmei. I haven't finished Natsume's book of friends but what I've seen has been good.
Also as long as you don't mind subtitles I find crunchyroll.com to be an excellent resource as others have mentioned. Girls und Panzer was very cute also.
My husband and I have watched Yona, Arslan, and Snow White with the Red Hair on Hulu for free (no subscription needed for those three).
The 90s Arslan OVA series, like most 90s OVA (original video animation) series, were created mostly as gifts to the fans of the manga/novels. Kind of a highlight real. They don't do a very good job of telling a coherent story.
Natsume's Book of Friends is definitely charming.
An anime series I can rewatch over and over is "Twelve Kingdoms." I appreciate the character development and political intrigue, pity though that some plots are left unfinished.
I very much reccomend Death Parade, a wonderful, weird anime about the afterlife... sort of.
