Nova Seed.
I somehow missed this years ago when it came out. Joint Canadian and Japanese animated film.
Really tight and fluid animation style while also being kind of sketchy and seeming very organic. Only a handful of voice actors. Very interesting foley work, eschewing traditional foley and relying a lot on humans being recorded making sounds with their mouths.
Came for the animation, stayed for the interesting plot, chill soundtrack, and the Lion Man.
You got my curiosity! Do you have other movies like this one you liked?
I have not seen Nova Seed (adding to my tk watch list), but below are some animated movies that might pique your interest (similar visuals style and/or plot/setting that is not typical of anime):
Unfortunately, not really, I found this randomly on a torrent site and got fixated on it this week (watched it twice actually) because I was so entranced by the fluid animation. It almost looks like rotoscoping with how realistic a lot of the physical movement is. I would love to see more animation like this. In a way it reminds of the animation of Ralph Bakshi.
Closest maybe I could think of would be Mutafukaz which was a joint French and Japanese animated film. The difference is that while the style of Mutafukaz is very unique, the animation still is very, I don't know, anime? Nova Seed doesn't really have any similarly styled films that come to mind.
