If you like sci-fi-ish, try Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Maybe not as good as Akira (what is?), but it might fill your void. It's based on the series of the same name, but I didn't watch that.
The movie has an awesome soundtrack.
If you want off-the-wall sci-fi, try FLCL. It's a short series and probably one of the best anime I've seen. (Though, admittedly, I haven't seen nearly enough.)
