I'm now going to broach the subject of ANIME MOVIES~ I'm trying to steadily avoid the common ones, *cough*Shinkai Makoto and Hosoda Mamoru *cough*
ACTION SAMURAI DRAMA MOVIE THAT'S NOT KENSHIN?
Sword of the Stranger is a beautifully animated, compelling story about... a ronin who has reasons for not using the blade and a young boy pursued by multiple people.
Currently available on hulu, distributed by Bandai Entertainment so... yeah >.>
Animated short? You've most likely heard of Studio Trigger by now (Inferno Cop, Kill la Kill)...
Check out the short Little Witch Academia!
Young witches are being taught, some of them from mundane families and others from long histories of witches. Put your guns on for some funs. ... sorry wrong anime. It's a cute little short with lots of love and hopes.
Cyberpunk? It's a series of OVAs made into a movie and a sequel but it works.
Armitage III!
Set in a time after Earth has become so overpopulated that people terraformed Mars in order to live there with the help of androids. A 2nd generation of robots were made and they contribute to much of the population of the main Martian city. The death of a popular singer reveals her identity to be a "Third" generation android, practically indistinguishable from humans. The revelation of "Thirds" cause panic and riots, and it hits particularly close to the policeman who fled from Chicago from his past of having his partner killed by a robot.
