You know, I just recently watched an anime called "Kino No Tabi"... I didn't really think that it was very much like Miyazaki, but there was a comment on it that said that the atmosphere was similar, so you know... other than that, I haven;t got anything@! Yay!

Not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for, but anything by Makoto Shinkai. The Place Promised in Our Early Days, or Voices of a Distant Star for starters.

IMHO, Miyazaki's films are distinctive and unique. Nobody does animation like he does. The fact that you instinctively put it in a a category other than 'anime' should tell you a lot.
That said, Isao Takahata and Miyazaki can mimic each others' style--and they don't seem to mind it. They have been working side by side for decades. Takahata most looked like Miyazaki when he did television shows.

Honestly check out Shinkai's work. He is hailed as a new Miyazaki and he might have the most beautiful animation out of everything, look that direction for at least The Place Promised in Our Early Days and then maybe try 5cm Per Second.

I know Place Promised in Our Early Days is dubbed, cause my downloaded version was, Voices of a Distant Star isnt im pretty sure, and 5cm Per Second I think is still a little new, but honestly, anime is better enjoyed imo in the original language, give it a shot sometime.

I watched the beginning of "The Place Promised in our Early Days", now I just have to get around to finishing it. I got to about the point where they were...

Trust me, Im as far from a purist as it gets. I just accept that since I download most of mine, its all subbed, so thats what I watch, when you get some bad dubs, its just really hard to watch, but for the most part, dubs are pretty good. Its an acquired taste. If you make the jump from films to series you might have to watch subs. You do get used to it.
But yeah, since Place Promised in Our Early Days is dubbed, and a pretty good one imo, give that a shot, the animation is stunning.

Ah, there's nothing wrong with the dubs at all! *glances around to see if anyone may be insulted by this next comment* Honestly, it rather bugs me when people almost put me down because I don't watched the subs instead of dubs with some things... wa...

That's why I always ask about English dubs. I know the purists hate it but it's just how I choose to enjoy these films.
A lot of the time, you'd be better off just watching the subtitled version to begin with. It is your choice of course, but if you get into the habit of watching them with subtitles, you'll get used to it and probably eventually prefer it.

You'll only benefit from subbed versions if you enjoy sampling it in japanese or if you understand the language anyway. Otherwise, no diff between dubs and subs.
There's Gauche the Cellist, though not sure if it's available at all. Then there's The Boy Who Saw the Wind, and Like the Clouds, Like the Wind.

Well, I've seen very few animes so thus far all the English dubs have been good (to me, at least). Tekkonkinkreet, Ghost in the Shell and the Ghibli films that are dubbed by Pixar.
I may run into a time when watching subbed is better but so far the dubs have been good.
I will check out those Shinkai films, they sound good.
If you've seen only a few animes so far, then you've got a lot more Ghibli and Miyazaki to go through.
1. See Future Boy Conan (not Detective Conan). This one's hard to get and even harder to get with subtitles--but it's a jewel! Miyazaki directed and animated this 26-episode TV series back in 1978. This is like watching a 13-hour long Miyazaki movie.
2. See the Little Norse Prince. This is an ancient (196 example of Miyazaki before he got his "look." Nonetheless, his attention to detail shows up--and it's a great story. It does have a dated, "hippie" look and feel, though.
3. Watch every animated Ghibli feature film. Every one. This is mandatory homework. There isn't a bad one in the bunch, so there's no excuse skipping over one.
If you haven't seen any Satoshi Kon films, you're missing a lot. Tread carefully, though, because he can get a bit edgy. Ghibli fans should have no difficulty with Tokyo Godfathers or Millennium Actress.
If you haven't seen any Ohtomo films, you might or might not be missing anything. He has done many films with critical acclaim, such as 'Akira,' but I've yet to find any of his that I like.

You can watch On Your Mark on Youtube. I know that isn't particularly helpful, but it's something.
