If you loved Battle Angel, try Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur has roughly 3.5× fewer votes than Battle Angel — 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 Hiroshi Fukutomi, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Battle Angel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur is
An animated kid borrows a time machine to out-stubborn a schoolyard rival. Nobita digs up a dino egg, then raises the pet before accidentally sending it 70 million years back. The movie stops just short of teaching paleontology.
