add recThere are numerous anime which explore the question "what makes us human". If we slowly replace parts of ourselves, at which point do we go from man to machine? Do we lose our soul? And if not, can machines have souls as well? Two of the more serious examples of this type of anime are Ghost in the Shell and Armitage III. Both set in dark cyberpunk futures, they interspread intense action with philisophical exploration. Whether you are looking for more philosophy, or just a good cyberpunk action romp, neither of these disappoint
If you like the whole cyborg problematic (who draws the line that separates humans from robots); a cool female protagonist; cyberpunk action but are also seeking a less romantic story watch, Ghost In The Shell.
Both shows lay heavy focus on the question what the human soul or mind is. They both contain questions about the ethics of artificial lifeforms and contain plenty of action.

add recBattle Angel Alita and Armitage both exude a cool cyberpunk style, and both characters are badasses. If you enjoy cyberpunk and dark series, there's no doubt you'll enjoy them. If you liked one, you WILL like the other, hands down.
Battle Angel Alita and Armitage III are both series that intermingle action with philisophical debate. Cyberpunk futures where robots are indestinguishable from humanity, each series explores what it means to be human and what future robots and humans can find together. If you enjoyed one series, you are more than likely to enjoy the other.
Both anime are set in a futuristic society where androids are commonplace. With the titular characters being an android, both anime explore their emotions and what it means to be human rather than artificial. The feel and themes of both anime are very similar so I'm sure that if you liked one then you'll like the other.

add recCyberpunk action flicks with an underlying question of what it means to be human - Armitage III and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence are very much alike. Armitage III is a bit more straightforward in the pursuit of her goals while the Major is more subtle. Regardles, if you enjoyed one, you will likely enjoy the other.
Both start out the same--mysterious deaths involving marginally legal androids, and a full human and cyberbeing are in charge of figuring out the nefarious scheme behind it all. Both also attempt to explore why there is now a blurry line between what is human and what is machine, with mixed success.

add recAppleseed and Armitage are perfectly matched for each other. The animation style might look drastically different, but both are amazing cyberpunk stories that will capture your attention. If you like cyberpunk and darkness, why not check these out??
The story of both this movies revolves around humanity creating new forms of life enhancing humanity itself and then the fear and hate to the beings they created. They also share the subject of these new races reproduction, as well as a great deal of action, a hardcore girl and a hardcore boyfriend where one of them is a cyborg.

add recBoth Paraside Dolls and Armitage III are taking place in a cyberpunk world, in which robots and humans coexist. The nature of robots reached a point where they can claim a citizenship like humans, and this question is dealt with through murder cases, and criminal activity.
Armitage III and Parasite Dolls are about androids in a world of humans. In both series you can see a kind of investigations about murders involving robots. Style and plots are on the same level and I think whoever liked one could like the other too.
