Manie-Manie: Meikyuu Monogatari

Compilation of 3 different and totally unrelated shorts by 3 different directors.
Collection of three different short stories by legendary directors, with Otomo doing one short in each.
Neo Tokyo: Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Steamboy), Rintaro (Galaxy express, Harlock, Metropolis), yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D, X)
Memories: Katsuhiro Otomo, Kouji Morimoto, Tensai Okamura (Darker than black, Wolf's Rain)
These are anthology films containing three different segments each directed by a prolific director/animator. (Otomo Katsuhiro directed a segment in each actually) They were released in the same time period of anime (1989/1995).
They both deal with the apocalyptic theme, technology and chaos, suggestive surrealism, dark psychology, and tragedy. Both films vary a great deal in art style between the different segments but still manages to feel as complete presentations. Both are classics with very high class animation.
Each anime is the other one's closest match.
Both are beautifully animated anthology movies made of wildly different components.

Immerse yourself in these masterfully crafted anthologies, where captivating narratives ignite your imagination and leave you pondering thought-provoking plotlines.
Featuring an array of diverse art styles, each piece becomes visually appealing, showcasing creativity and cinematic artistry that beautifully enhances the storytelling experience.
Short stories made and written by wellknown anime directors, the good old school days where people made time to make unrelated stories which either has its own "art" and an interesting story!

If anyone has watched Memories, then the person shall also give Neo Tokyo a try. Since both the 'Movies' are based on a combination of three different short stories; individually, with alternative plots, the viewer may find it interesting while watching.
However, another similarity between the two movies as a whole is the plot setting - bizarre and unpredictable - which takes certain turns with the varying story lines. The epilogue, in both the cases remains a sort of punny. The viewer may interpret and deduct the endings as per his/her own perspective, which varies from person to person.
In either way, both Memories and Neo Tokyo,

Collection of 3 shorts involving Katsuhiro Otomo. Both have the format of one "artsy" short with an unconventional art style and minimal dialogue, one scifi ghost story with phenomenally detailed art, and one that treats a dire situation with technology gone wrong in a silly way.

3 piece art-house anthologies backed by a tour-de-force of creative talent. No reason to dislike one if you liked the other.

Collections of unrelated short films with no underlying theme, with sometimes very different art-styles.
Both compile different stories with similar themes which are futuristic, allegoric and have great animation style.
