...then you might like Ie Naki Ko add

Ie Naki Ko and Takarajima are both adaptations of Western novels in which a young boy leaves home and travels the world accompanied by a charismatic father figure and animal companions. They were made by a lot of the same people - e.g. director Dezaki Osamu, character designer Sugio Akino, and art director/background artist Kobayashi Shichiro - and released one year apart. The visual similarities are extensive and obvious. As for differences, Takarajima is a pure adventure story, whereas Ie Naki Ko puts the emphasis on Dickensian drama.

Both have realistic near-future science fiction settings in which teams of (mostly) competent professional adult protagonists combat crime. Both combine sociopolitical themes with tense action. Both were done by Production I.G. There are also plot similarities, but elaborating on those would go into spoiler territory.
