Both feature Yuasa Masaaki's crazy postmodern madness via Madhouse Studios, refreshingly unique style of animation, and stories about love and determination.

Wacky postmodern anime in which the timid guy wants to get the girl. Lots of surrealistic reflections on life and love. Both are directed by Yuasa Masaaki.

Shoka

Shoka doesn't have much substance in the way of a story, but if you found its visuals intriguing you might want to give the much more fully realized Kemonozume a look.

Mirai Shounen Conan

NTHT's setting is an alternate world, a bleak dystopian wasteland that seems to be made up of almost nothing but desert and blood-red sky; the atmosphere is stifling and oppressive, a nihilistic vision where skies are not blue, but blood-red, and there isn't a drop of water to be found, completely opposite of FBC. Enter Lala-Ru, a girl who, like Lana of FBC, holds a power that can save the world from its ruin: a power that has fallen into the wrong hands. NTHT is very much like FBC might have been, had Miyazaki been feeling suicidally depressed. Both of these are tales about the effects that war and abuse of resources have on people.

Bounen no Xamdou
|
The world and character designs of Xam'd are all very Ghibliesque. Akiyuki may have been created drawing some inspiration from Ashitaka; each character is forced to accept his fate after absorbing a dangerous and ancient power into his forearm.

Bounen no Xamdou

The world and character designs of Xam'd are all very Ghibliesque. Nakiami is pretty much a copy of Nausicaä, with traits similar to some of Miyazaki's more stoic women. When Nakiami first appears she subdues the enraged Xam'd, similar to Nausicaä's handling of the angered Ohmu.

Vagabond

The character of Guts (of Berserk) is ostensibly inspired by the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, both of them being unmatched swordsmen who overcame death and tragedy, emerging from obscurity to mix with the ruling class. Vagabond has "Musashi and the Seventy" while Berserk has "Guts the Hundred-Man Slayer".
