If you enjoy the grounded magic of Ghibli, check out the works of Yuri Norstein. He was a big influence on the studio. Judging from the exclusivity of the 4k blu-ray of all his work to Japan (last I checked), he's evidently appreciated there.
I would recommend this video https://youtu.be/73hip3pz0Xs by a channel called Atrocity Guide about Yuri Norstein. It was my introduction to his amazing work.
