Miyazaki's just a stickler for realism. There has never been, nor will there probably ever be, an animation director this obsessed with realism.
That "gooey film" is most probably pus. My one of my pet hamsters had them when they were inflicted with eye infection.

Not sure what kinds of realism you're discussing but a vast number of anime are now very 'realistic' due to the use of CGI. Its focus allows directors to depict scenes in extremely realistic ways.
I'd say Shinkai is up there with Miyazaki, maybe gone past him at some points.
Takahata surpasses him too in some areas.

I'm not referring to realism as how an animated scene looks "real"; that point is made moot by CGI, as your point indicates, which I also agree. I was referring to extremely minor and sometimes superficial details either in art or in motion that will usually be missed by most people.
A perfect example would be in Kiki's Delivery Service, when Kiki was running out of the dame's house and slipped on a fallen leaf to help Tombo. That little slip will probably be ignored or never even noticed by the general viewers. But it is that kind of very minor detail that literally defines Miyazaki. The cat chase between Shizuku and Muta contains many of such details as well. Pay careful attention to the minor movements Shizuku made. They are what you will often see if a living person were to actually be in that situation, yet you will never see such non-exaggerated movement in animation anywhere other than his (or rather, Ghibli's) movies.

Miyazaki didn't direct Whisper. I get reminded of that frequently 
I know what you meant. I'm saying that Takahata and Shinkai are in the same place.
EDIT: Its never consistent across all works produced by a director. A person will produce a style of animation consistent with the audience to whom they are appealing. Miyazaki creates some heavily exaggerated moments such as fight/chase scenes in Laputa (as one example), then again he'll bring terrific depth of detailed observation at other times. If a director were consistently using details and realism a movie could bog down and lose its pacing, too much detail can become tedious, yet in "Only Yesterday" there were prolonged moments of intense realism such as the saffron harvesting scenes which lost no pace or impact yet contained details such as you'd be hard pushed to find in a top quality informative documentary.
