Similar art style and calming nature.
They have a similar art style and color theme. Both are accompanied by music and lack dialogue. Both are surreal and mysterious; and share a calming and somewhat bittersweet atmosphere. Also, both focus on only one central character, and the world through that character's eyes.
As the two before me, I think they are similar because of their animation, their style in whole and the told stories.
short and sweet....no lover of animation should miss these two gems.
Both are from the same producer, relaxing scenes, no talking.
Both are short stories produced by the same studio, got the same astounding artwork, and got a similar feel to it with no dialogue. These are pieces of art.

Angel's Egg is a lot more "deep" than Tortov Roddle, but both of them transport the viewer to a fantastic and surreal world. If you enjoyed the sights and sounds of Tortov Roddle, then you will love Angel's Egg for its artwork alone.
Both are surreal with great artwork and music.

they are both very artistic and poetic and driven by an awesome musical score.. so if you can't appreciate something that's more interpretive and artsy then this probably isn't for you.. they feel something like a daydream, something pleasant and floaty.. yea, floaty.. hah.. anyways they're both great.
Both of them are about people travelling through a strange world and have an alternative style of animation.

They both go on journeys, discover things that they think is unique and such. Kino travels for three days while Tortov Roddle travels according to his diary.

Similar mood and general feeling. A bit of surrealism and nostalgic.

Quirky, beautiful, unusual anime that are best enjoyed with a warm drink and a comfy blanket.
While Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami lacks the distinctive professional flair and finish of The Diary of Tortov Roddle, it is quietly ambitious and very charming in its amateurism.

Interesting animation style, simple story telling, short and visually enjoyable.

While Aoi Chou is a music video and The Diary of Tortov Roddle is an ONA, they are both aurally and visually expressive anime that do not rely on dialogue but on the journeys of the protagonists to set their plots in motion.
The art style and mood of both are quite similar; Aoi Chou has a light, dream-like quality that is also very present in the fantastical world of Roddle. Watching them feels like peeking into someone's dream, where you witness darkly, quietly, peacefully beautiful worlds carrying on without consequence.

Both have a calm and peaceful atmosphere. They follow an individual as he travels around meeting interesting people and experiencing fantastic things.

Similar weirdness, very surreal. Not much talking.

They both have beautifully surreal settings and situations but spirited away is more exciting and less sweet
|
|
|
both have an element of surrealism to it. both relaxing watches. however, both are very different as well
|
|
|
Random yet interesting surreal events which seem completely out of this world. Extremely short sequences.

short, meaningful, and similar feel

While at first glance these shorts seems to be on opposite ends of the spectrum - Kigeki a fictional story set in the historic Irish War of Independence, Diary of TR set in a surrealist world with no ties to reality - there exists a very similar feeling between them: The style and colors are luminously muted, both stories leave the viewer with no real sense of closure, and both create a strong attachment to the characters with very little (or no) dialogue.
