If you liked Nekojiru-sou add

...then you might like Tenshi no Tamago add

Both are relatively short, bleak movies that contain very little dialogue. They both have a dark and surreal atmosphere, with imagery that seems to have many metaphorical and nearly unperceptible meanings. In other words, you won't find much of a coherent story here, and if you do, it probably won't be the same story that other viewers get.

If you liked Akira add

...then you might like Jin-Rou add

Both are action dramas that deal with the police struggling against underground civilian forces after a major war.

If you liked Kurenai no Buta add

...then you might like Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa add

They're both directed by Miyazaki and created at Studio Ghibli. They're both adventure films that have air pirates. Also, the two main characters in both are an engineer and a mysterious character somehow affected by magic.

If you liked Mimi wo Sumaseba add

...then you might like Omoide Poroporo add

Both made by Studio Ghibli, and had a lot of the same feel. Both center on a young girl who has a love interest, although their stories are told in very different ways, and both are about finding yourself. Whisper of the Heart contains more fantasy elements, though.

If you liked FLCL add

...then you might like Dead Leaves add

Same creators, both have crazy random action with hard-to-follow stories. The difference is, Dead Leaves is the wrong way of approaching this type of animation while FLCL does a much better job. Everything about Dead Leaves is repulsive and juvenile (sex, fart, poop jokes everywhere) while FLCL retains some class. Dead Leaves feels like it's trying too hard to be random and edgy, while FLCL feels like its craziness is at least motivated by the characters and story. Either way, this is true of both: you'll either love it or hate it.

If you liked Shisha no Sho add

...then you might like Hotarubi no Mori e add

Both are short movies that center on a girl/woman with a supernatural love interest, separated by circumstances beyond their control.

If you liked Saiyuuki add

...then you might like Tie Shan Gongzhu add

Osamu Tezuka credited seeing Princess Iron Fan when he was 13 as part of his inspiration to become a cartoonist and animator (when it was shown in Japan, with the obviously anti-Japanese parts taken out). Alakazam the Great is based off of Tezuka's manga My Son Goku, which is based off of the Monkey King Legend just like Princess Iron Fan.

If you liked Taiyou no Ouji: Horus no Daibouken add

...then you might like Tatsu no Ko Tarou add

Both made in the 60s/70s and center around a mythological young hero boy. Isao Takahata worked on both films.
