Interesting! Particularly the discovery of the sparing use of green in Akira. I haven't seen either of those films in quite a few years and it really brought back to me how staggeringly beautiful they are.
When I was in Sydney in 2018 I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the 'Anime Architecture' exhibition[1] at the Japan Foundation, which included various pencil drawings and hand-drawn cells from Ghost in the Shell. It's a traveling exhibition so if it ends up near you and you're a Ghost in the Shell fan I highly recommend checking it out.

- LiquidSky 6y agoThanks for this. I've always been very interested in fictional architecture and this looks amazing.
- cinntaile 6y agoTake a look at Cities of the Fantastic [0] as well! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Cit%C3%A9s_obscures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Cit%C3%A9s_obscures

- livueta 6y agoReally, anything involving Tsutomu Nihei, even the Sidonia 3dcg anime. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou's also got some neat, pretty Nihei-inspired megastructure architecture. Finally, Texhnolyze does a lot of fun stuff with using architecture (in both Lux and the surface world) to contribute to atmosphere and tone as well as plot.
- novok 6y agoOther than ghibli films, what other anime films look as good or iconic as those two.
- ghostDancer 6y agoNot the same style, and probably not as good, the films of Makoto Shinkai are really beautiful to watch : https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1396121/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1396121/
- pilaf 6y agoI'd say anything by Satoshi Kon, especially Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers.
- flobosg 6y agoI'm partial to Perfect Blue, but those two are great as well.

- jcun4128 6y agoRecently saw this video on YouTube about Dragon's Heaven short "movie" but it's one of those super-heavy-detail hand-drawn type animations.
