I really enjoyed watching this Ghibli background artist pain and explain his process in real time. There's a lot of artistry that go into these films:

I've also been watching the 1979 anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. Hayao Miyazaki worked on it (7 years before founding Ghibli), and although the TV animation is more limited than a film's, I think it looks awesome. It's pretty funny too. Miyazaki's reasons for quitting halfway through production are really interesting to read in the Wikipedia article:

I looked into it because I've always wanted to read Anne of Green Gables, and I had heard that PEI is a big tourist destination for older Japanese women who grew up watching the series. It's one of the few I don't mind dubbed, since it's an adaptation of an English-language work and the acting fits really well. It's probably not supposed to be on Youtube, but the entire series is:
