Synopsis:

The Moon – Earth’s mysterious companion for countless ages, always keeping its dark side hidden from human eyes. It has not stayed hidden forever, as the moon has now been colonized and has a city of its own on the surface. However, something has taken offence at the human incursion – “The Sleeper” is awakening.

Venus Wars

Venus Wars main image

Set in the 21st century on a recently terraformed Venus, Venus Wars is the story of a war between two opposing nations, and the effect it has on a group of teenagers. Dark and gritty, with an air similar to that of Akira, it focuses on coming of age during the midst of a planet's devastating war.

All in all, these both have a very similar feel. They both have the "great" 80's music as well as the same level of animation and similar animation at that. They also are both fairly Sci-Fi based, so you'd like one if you liked the other.

When watching Bounty Dog or Venus Wars, one major thing sticks out: the color and animation style. Both BD and VW both possess a very yellow, bleak version of a planet in space, where all sorts of things go wrong. You'll get the same dark and gritty feel from watching each of these, so check them out.

Geneshaft

In the future, babies are no longer born - they're grown. The crew of the newly developed spaceship Bilkis has been sent to investigate a mysterious "ring" that has shown up in Earth's orbit. Hand-picked through careful gene selection, the crew covers the area of skills needed to complete the mission. Except for ensign Mika Seido, whose gene-type is "white" - undefined.

Both series share a certain sci-fi feel that's not entirely dystopic, but yet conveys the feeling that it's a future best avoided - you'll see political intrigue as the mysteries behind the characters unfolds, with both titles having epic proportions that threatens the world.

Bubblegum Crisis

Bubblegum Crisis main image

The year is 2032. Tokyo has been destroyed by a great earthquake and a new city, MegaTokyo, has risen from the ashes. Humans now live side-by-side with androids known as Boomers who perform many of the menial and laborious tasks that humans despise, but these artificial servants come with a price: they have a tendency to go haywire and attack those they were built to serve. The A.D. Police force was created to try and stop this menace, but its weapons can do little more than annoy the Boomers. Hope lies with the Knight Sabers, four young women with high-tech, armored suits and enough firepower to stop an army - but will it be enough to stop MegaTokyo's greatest threat?

I'm not sure what it is, but both of these seem to have the same play-through as far as watching them, although Bounty Dog has a definate ending to it. They kind of have the same action in both animes with some really cool scenes in both.

Darkside Blues

Darkside Blues main image

In a world dominated by the ultimate family corporation, a man arrives by unusual means in the worst part of the worst city in the world: Tokyo Darkside. His origin is uncertain, his powers unknown, and his motivations obscure. We know only that his purpose is ‘renewal’. Of what? Or whom? This complex and highly symbolic movie will appeal to any who enjoys trying puzzle understanding from fragments. The fights are spectacular, and it does make sense… eventually.

Maybe it's because we watched these 2 back-to-back, but both of them seem to have a similar animation style as well as atmosphere. They both have that dark, "something isn't quite right here" felling to them.

Dallos

Dallos main image

Decades ago, the moon was colonized and turned into a mining colony whose profits benefited Earth and its people. A generation has passed and the workers are now treated as slaves -- forced to work in the mines under the rule of earth-born men, with many of the young people having never been to the land of their heritage. The time has come, however, for a rebellion to take place: to command Earth to hear their pleas; and afterwards, the moon and Dallos, the moon's god-like structure who silently sleeps and protects its inhabitants, will never be the same...

The moon obviously is a similarity between these two series, but more than that, they have the same kind of feel and pacing as well. If you are looking for moon-bound action with plenty of weirdness, this is for you.
