Set in the year 2200 A.D., the story unfolds in a future where human migration to space and advanced technology enable memory manipulation. Naoki and Mayumi, who live in a luxury floating residence in space, are the perfect couple that anyone would admire at first glance. Mayumi enjoys ceramics as a hobby, while Naoki is devoted to his own research. They are a peaceful, ideal couple who enjoy elegant music, cooking, and dining in the dining room. However, their true nature is the distorted love of the husband, Naoki, who seeks revenge from his wife who used to love him back in the days when he used to love her, and repeatedly turns her into an android to pursue and recreate his own ideal. This psychopathic suspense romance depicts a "form of love" that could happen anywhere in the near future.

both start with the initial same genre, mob BL drama/movie
but then they take two different routes :

you want short the feel good, get off your screen happy and optimistic for the world then pick exhibit A. Long Time no See

If on the other hand you aren't afraid if investing more time and emotions and diving a little deeper into the pessimistic world, on the risk of heartache, Yet! still has an eventual satisfying ending , exhibit B. Moon Child ( Warning : Hyde and Gackt are your leads in this one)

Both with an amazingly high rewatchablity - I know I've been rewatching Moon Child sense I discovred it circa 10 years ago, and I still revisit it once a year
I may have just stumbled upon Long time no see, but it's an easy rewatch as well, if just to see those two look in each other's eyes and hold hands so cutely!! .. maybe I should save a gif of that as a phone background ;?
