add recSci-fi about an upheaval of oppressed class mingled with a somewhat tragic love story, that is what Wonderful Days and Metropolis have in common. Although using a bit different visual style, they both look pretty impressive.
If you have enjoyed one, you will enjoy the other.

add recWonderful Days combines stunning 3D CGI animation with a compelling storyline, and the same can be said about Ghost in the Shell.
If you liked the cool animation and mysterious plot of Wonderful Days, then Ghost in the Shell is for you.
What I love about these anime is the amazing details, scenery, and music. They immerse you into a future which is both chilling and possible, and explore the lengths to which humans may stray from their humanity. Wonderful Days features man against nature, while Ghost in the Shell throws man against machine, but the conflict is similar, well structured, and breath-taking till the end. Fascinating in both shape and content, these anime are masterpieces of the same genre.

add recCan't compete with bikes! The protagonists of both movies have big black and powerful two-wheeled vehicles that leave you wondering "If I had that bike..."
And yes, both have stunning haircuts as well.
For animated movies that push the envelope of CGI you can't get much better than Wonderful Days and FF: Advent Children. Even If you don't care for either story just watch and stare in complete awe at the absolutely stunning CGI scenery and your time will still be well spent.
