Thanks, I guess it being an animation was the reason I didn't bother looking for other works of the director which I usually do for any other medium.

It's quite confusing from where I should start, the Original Video Animation I guess that's what you meant by OVA is a prequel to the movies you are recommending according to this site and the animation made for Television is an alternative version.

I'm not too sure about whether it'll work for me or not after reading Synopsis and tags but considering the impact of Ghost in the Shell on me, I don't mind giving it a try but would like to see more works like Ghost in the Shell.

the obvious ones, Patlabor and and Sky Crawlers are already mentioned.

The question remains, do you expect to find something that is unforgettable like Ghost in the shell?
Or something that gives you a similar distopian feel?

My personal answer to the first question, are movies like Perfect Blue and Paprika.
If it was the distopian feel that got you, but you are prepared to lower you're expectations, then you might want to check Harmony (not to be mistaken with Harmonie), or Appleseed. Though personally, I can't recommend them, since I felt they weren't that great.

And honestly, finding something similar and on par with ghost in the shell, will be quite impossible.
Though there is this very short movie, that I could advice you to watch; Je T'aime.

Are you talking about the short animated French film or the Anime short?

The short.
Same author as Ghost in the Shell.
arguably about Batou's dog.

You could give the Mardock Scramble Trilogy a try.

You could try

A.D. Police Files
Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040
Parasite Dolls
Jin-Roh
Akira
Kite
Wicked City
Boogiepop Phantom
Battle Angel Alita
Urban Square

a lot of these are on YouTube but some not great picture quality

That's a terrible idea. I mean if the OP already disliked Psycho-Pass (oh no, I told its name) he would hate Mardock Scramble.

HexDiver said:

The characters in Mardock Scramble are not as linear as the ones he claimed to dislike.

It was a great and memorable experience watching this one, but I found it quite hard to find similar stuff to this one apart from it's own franchise using the recommendation feature, some shows seems to be added just because of the dystopian/cyberpunk setting or a group dealing with crime and terrorism using advance technology which are indeed aspects that makes them similar but some of them are made with more intention of catering a particular group of audience rather than creating something more original and detailed, I'll give one example here without mentioning the title as it's pretty popular, way more popular than this movie for people to take my opinion as hate, it's a blend of Blade Runner, Equilibrium and Se7en, basically it lacks originality but despite that the cast is human and the work is no less risky and tricky as section 6's yet the dynamics doesn't reflect cooperation and is filled with over the top and exaggerated conversations which only shows unprofessionalism and little to know seriousness and dedication for the job, the show already has an advantage with human cast to showcase vulnerability and emotions basically a very grounded and realistic depiction but only did a poor job in characterization and the antagonist is John Doe from Se7en even his demise is basically the ending of Se7en.

Can someone recommend me animations that are actually similar to this movie.
