If you loved Dead Leaves, try Promare / Side: Galo
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Promare / Side: Galo has roughly 5.3× fewer votes than Dead Leaves — 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 Hiroyuki Imaishi, and they both carry the neon soaked, playful, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dead Leaves, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Promare / Side: Galo is
You fight fires in a world where flame-wielding humans are hunted, but flames erupt from within. The city's balance shifts. Imaishi's vibrant visuals propel the action.
