If you loved Appleseed Alpha, try Evangelion: Another Impact (Confidential)
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Evangelion: Another Impact (Confidential) has roughly 12.5× fewer votes than Appleseed Alpha — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Shinji Aramaki, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Appleseed Alpha, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Evangelion: Another Impact (Confidential) is
You oversee trials of a massive humanoid weapon. Unit Null suddenly activates, beyond control. Its purpose remains unclear. But its destructive capacity does not. Aramaki's direction evokes anime of the late 80s. The film leaves one wondering about the ethics of technological ambition.
