  1. Mind Game (2004): Also from Studio 4°C. Just as surreal, if not more so.
  2. Children of the Sea (2019): Another aquatic, spiritual masterpiece with similar visual splendor.
  3. Kiki's Delivery Service (1989): Wait, hear this out. While Miyazaki’s film is happy, it shares the theme of a young person finding their identity in a European-style city. The "city as a character" is the link.
  4. Ping Pong the Animation (2014): The TV series adaptation of another Taiyo Matsumoto manga. The character design and emotional pacing are identical.
