Mushishi stays episodic. Some episodes tell you more about things (Ginko's backstory, the Mushishi mail service) but each one stands alone.
Alas, by the 4th DVD of Kaleido Star, really interesting things are happening. But if you skip it, the missing plot is not too difficult to figure out. It isn't a particularly subtle series. :) And I bet Delia will like Jonathan the pet seal way more than I did!
(I was also kind of irked by the beware-the-glowing-screen warning before every single episode. But my friends explained to me it's an artifact of a short-lived scandal. Apparently one show around that time period had visual effects that caused seizures or migraines in a small number of viewers. For a while after that all anime makers were hypercareful.)
