Howl's Moving Castle
,
Grave of the Fireflies
and
Princess Mononoke
are all good places to start, depending on what you liked most about
Spirited Away
.
Well, I liked the mostly melancholy mood and the sense of mysticism.
Grave of the Fireflies
of the melancholy (seriously, this is one of the most depressing peices of animation I have ever seen),
Howl's Moving Castle
for the mysticism.

The game is based on a man who travels through the 9 circles of Hell to save his wife. The story lines may not be the exact same, but the fact that the game is based loosely around the
Divine Comedy
which is based upon an interpretation of Hell is reason enough to refer to it as semi-religious.
Um, no. That's more of an Odyssy rip-off than a Divine Comedy rip-off.
Wouldn't it be closest to how that harpist in Greek mythology (I can't remember his name) goes into the underworld to rescue his wife, but he can't look back or he loses her?
Then he ends up looking back anyway and his trip was in vain.

I dunno. Greek mythology isn't my forte -- didn't read much beyond the poets and playwrights.
