Akira

Both are set in dystopian futures, in a post-apocalyptic futuristic "Tokyo". They have beautiful animation considering they are both hand-drawn 2D animes from 1988 and 1995. Furthermore they both have stories linked to the underlying psychology of society and the nature of humanity. The plots have underlying themes expressing the rapid industrialisation of Japan, where cycles of creation and destruction spin constantly, cities are laid to waste, while humankind works meticulously on their plans of survival through the means of science and technology.
