As often said before this is by the same director and about friends being seperated over a period of time. It's drama and also a little sci-fi.

Same Director and it is also about 2 people being seperated by something
Both share similar art style. You'll definitely like the unique atmosphere of these movies. They both have romantic storyline set in the background of supernatural events.
they both have very moving stories with good characters..
Both are extremely pretentious as far as the story goes, but somehow their animation and music forces you to sit through it. So maybe if you actually liked one of these, you'll also enjoy the other, considering I feel they have almost the exact same failures!
The first half of TPPiOED is a lot like Ocean Waves. There's a love triangle, where two guys (one with glasses, one not) get involved with a girl. The girls in both differ greatly, Ocean Waves' being very selfish, but you'll watch both and have similar feelings.

Unlike TPPiOED, Ocean Waves doesn't turn into a sci-fi mess half-way through. That's why I rate Ocean Waves a lot higher.

In terms of other Ghibli titles, Ocean Waves is very similar in execution and 'feel' to Only Yesterday and Whisper of the Heart; two of the more mature Ghibli releases.
Same music, similar art. Great twists, nice romance. Just except this is a movie.
While Laputa is more of a light adventure and "Place Promised" a sci-fi romance, they share a somewhat similar plot: Boy meets girl and become close to each other. Later is revealed that the girl has some connection to a mysterious construction. Then boy tries to reach that place to help the girl.
Firstly, I want to warn you about spoilers. I don't know how much EXACTLY you count spoilers for, so just a warning ^^

Both Animes have everythng surrounded by spaceships, a boy, who lvoes a girl and about the girl's poor condition.
Both are peacefull and the painting style and landscape are great!

Watching them you can feel the same feeling of freedom and peace...

Very pretty slow stories with a sci-fi element

Both of these deal primarily with the issues of depression and finding your place in the world. They are both heavily psychological, well-scripted, and contain only enough science fiction to add to the characters, rather than just become the premise for the show.

Both shows are very slow-paced, calming and depict the beauty of nature in a stunning way. While Shinkai's work naturally is much more technically advanced and story-driven, they do share the same captivating feeling of utter serenity.
