Ive seen Nausicaa, but I have no idea in what way its darker than Akira though.
Read the manga. It's UBER dark, like, as dark as the Soviet stuff.
I cant remember if ive seen M.D. Geist but id think i would have since i binged on a lot of those b rated hyper violent anime ovas (Violence jack, Urotsukidoji, and Genocyber)
I was thinking of naming Genocyber but it is from 1994. Genocyber is actually one of my favorite movies.
I might shouldve mentioned but foriegn films are preffered especially russian, polish, czech and such.
Ive looked at Ga, Ga - Chwala bohaterom as well would you say its better?
I like Ga, Ga much more, but I'm terrible at saying what movies are objectively better than others. Here are more detailed thoughts on Ga Ga. I've written quite a bit about Eastern European sci-fi.
Also, look up On the Silver Globe if you want something batsh*t. Alphaville might appeal as well.

Ive been interested in Silver Globe because i like Devil, Third Part of the night, and Possession
Krull (1983) which I notice is being classed as science fantasy, and that's fair enough. It's basically sword and sorcery meets sci-fi and once again definitely has the dark tone you're after.
I was watching some of The Keep (1983) the other day and although it's a horror film it does occasionally feel like some science fantasy is creeping in.
