It's very fantastical, much like some of Miyazaki's work, but in quite a different way. It's a lot darker, too. I'm not sure it fits your request, but it could perhaps be worth checking out.

Mushishi isn't really dark, the show merely states that nature isn't a loving mother. The mushi are neither good nor bad and show no hostility, cohabitation just happens to be difficult or sometimes squarely impossible.

Yeah, it's not dark as in "everybody dies horribly" kind of dark. It has a very dark colour palette - lots of blacks and blues and the like - and some of the stories are quite sad. Combined with the music, overall it has a fairly dark, slightly mournful, kind of feel to it. As opposed to Ghibli fantasy which often have a lot of bright colours, and grand, over-the-top spectacle. Although now I think about it a bit, I guess Nausicaa and Mononoke tend a bit towards the same kind of direction, so maybe it's not such a radical departure after all.

I think Mushishi is the show that helped me the most understanding some of the japanese mentality, as it's heavily shinto influenced and shows a distinct mono no aware edge.

Everything Miyazaki has ever done is great except for Panda! Go, Panda!
