Twilight Q addpermalink

The script and themes of "File 538" (second OVA of Twilight Q) and Beautiful dreamer are practically identical. In fact, Mamoru Oshii directed both in the mid-80's and we can see that they are clearly related.

Lupin III: Cagliostro no Shiro addpermalink

Both spin-off films of pre-existing franchises, directed by influential figures in anime. Both were  heavily divisive among the pre-existing manga fanbases upon release.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu addpermalink

Both films take advantage of what their series did not do, as well as present interesting topics, both look good and remain and both have a great soundtrack.

Tenshi no Tamago addpermalink

Complex narratives and incredible visuals, directed by Mamoru Oshii and with background art by Shichiro Kobayashi.

Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru addpermalink

Same bizarre atmosphere with dream-like visuals. Much more serious due, but still shares the surreality elements.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu addpermalink

Both The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and the second Urusei Yatsura movie deal with the concept of the world being the product of a young girl's mind without her being aware.  Also they are both comedies.
