World Masterpiece Theater series
 

There are some great old series, which are involving Miyazaki and Takahata:

"Akage no An" is already fansubbed (and I almost downloaded it ^^), so I'd be very glad if other WMT-series are subbed and distributed via BitTorrent. If not licensed, of course . Well, I'm not a US resident, so I don't know exactly, whether these series are on US DVD's or not.

Do any of them go beyond conventional storytelling?
