add recBoth of the movies are about kids trying to restore/save their families. Chihiro and Wataru are both thrown into strange and magical worlds that are completely different from the world they are used to. Chihiro's (Spirited Away) adventure is more paranormal than Wataru's. Wataru is practically thrown into an RPG videogame and must complete several tasks to "fix" his family. Both characters make friends, meet fantastical, magical, and crazy creatures, and take journeys in an attempt to accomplish their goals. The stories are extremely similar, and the artwork in both is great. If you like one will most likely like the other.
Both focussing on a young child completely out of their depth in a fantastical world, both Spirited Away and Brave Story are family friendly. They posess something that will appeal to all age ranges, plenty of action and story, but charming characters that younger anime viewers can appreciate.
The blend of exciting animation, gripping script and an affable cast make these two shows the perfect recommendations for each other.

add recVision is the name of the wonderful world where Wataru travels in his search for the Goddess of Destiny. The cities, the people and the events at this world reminders me to the ones I saw in Jing, The King of Bandits, the perfect atmosphere for adventures.

add recWell, for one, Tower of Druaga Aegis of URUK was also made by Gonzo. Also, the main character of Tower of Druaga, Jil, looks very similar Wataru only a little older; and basically there quest are very similar. Just like Godess in Brave Story Druaga grant wishes also.
