I think it is interesting to go through a single director's work like that. After watching Spirited Away this weekend, I was talking with my wife about our favorite Ghibli movies, and looking them up it made us realize that Grave of the Fireflies and Tale of the Princess Kaguya were both made by the same director, Isao Takahata. Those two movies are so emotionally heavy that they will absolutely wreck me any time I watch them. So, it made me curious to check out some of their other work...when I feel like I need a good cry.

As for Anno, I just looked them up on AniList to refresh my memory on their full list of works (it is a lot). However, I didn't realize that he actually has a couple voice acting roles in addition to his huge body of animation/directorial work. Most notably, he voices the main character of The Wind Rises.
