If you loved Riding Bean, try Megazone 23
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Yasuo Hasegawa, and they both carry the cozy, late night, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Action / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Riding Bean, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Megazone 23 is
Here's an anime that really wants you to think about late capitalism. A motorcycle gang member finds a mysterious government bike that unlocks secrets about their artificial city. It's a pretty effective riff on Plato's cave, if you happen to be into transforming robots.
