Whisper of the Heart conveniently is another film by Studio Ghibli (Goshu the Cellist being made by one of the heads of Ghibli, before Ghibli was created). But the reason I chose this as a recommendation is because they both are centered around a main character and their love of music. Both don't necessarily have anything special that makes them exceptional, they just give you a great feeling at the end.

These animes are both beautiful with a theme of music. Their characters are mellow, but still have a need to get what they want. Small-town setting with many interesting characters that are timeless and beautiful

Violinist of Hamelin is extremely dark, but also centers around music. You definitely will have a more depressing feel with VoH, but I did enjoy both of these.

If you are a music lover, both of these shows are for you. Hamelin tends to play a lot of famous classical pieces of music, and Goshu the Cellist touches on a lot of classical music as well. Although they both are totally different series, music lovers will enjoy the two.

The Cat Returns comes to mind when seeing Goshu the Cellist, because both have cute talking animals that lighten the mood of the story. They also each have a good feeling that comes from finishing it.

Night on the Galactic Railroad and Goshu the Cellist both have the same feeling when you watch them. There isn't a lot of action, but it's more of character development and they are both kind of slow. However the way they are animated makes them feel a lot alike. Plus the ambient music definately helps too.

Spring and Chaos

Spring and Chaos main image

From the mind of Shoji Kawamori comes Spring and Chaos, an animated biography of one of Japan's most loved poets and storytellers: Kenji Miyazawa. Through the use of standard animation and rich CG, a short period of Kenji's life is shown in an abstract and fantasy-filled way, showing the viewer his dreams and thoughts, and everything in between.

Spring and Chaos and Goshu the Cellist both have the same feeling when you watch them. They are both kind of slow-going, and there isn't a lot of action, but the way they are animated makes them feel a lot alike. They kind of have a fun-with-life feeling and have a good moral lesson.
