Another good one from Katsuhiro Otomo - older than Memories (1995), newer than Construction Order Cancellation (1987):

Roujin Z (1991)

If you've seen Stink Bomb in Memories, or Akira, you might notice some visual similarities in how the stories are told.

While on the topic of “lesser-known gems which came before”, if you enjoyed 1995’s Ghost in the Shell, check out 1993’s Patlabor 2: The Movie. Many similarities both visually and narratively, because a lot of the same folks worked on both.
