If you really are an anime fan, then you should have somehow crossed paths with the name Hayao Miyazaki.
His works are amazing!
If you like high school light romance, yet a still award-winning movie, you might want to watch his WHispers of the Heart. I really recommend watching this one.
If you like something with a very magical romantic twist, better watch Howl's Moving Castle. I recommend this one as well.
If you like something very magical, better watch the award-winnign movie, Spirited Away Everything in it is very symbolic. It's very fun to watch. I highly recommend it.
I actually haven't watched all his films yet, but I could really say that his works are amazing!
