Hayao Miyaki has long been producing some of the greatest (animated) films of all time. They are anything from the most gentle childrens fairy tales (Totoro) to the epic stories of war and peace (Nausicaa). From islands in the sky (Laputa) to witches on broomsticks (Kiki) and flying pigs (Porco Rosso).
All of then gorgeously crafted with stories to sweep you away.
Plus, if you think Anime is all a little light-weight, go seek out 'Grave of the Fireflies' (by the same Studio, but not Miyazaki himself). That one left me in tears - and I'm a heartless bastard most of the time :)
