Aramaki is primarily known for his work in directing the two Appleseed movies which are quite unique in how they are completely CG and cel-shaded to appear more anime-like as opposed to traditionally animated. If considering family viewing, you can treat them both as your average action movies in terms of questionable content. Otherwise, enjoy.

Appleseed (2004)
Appurushīdo (アップルシード)

When it came out in 2004, Appleseed as basically the best-looking CG anime around. Even by today’s standards it is only out-shined by its successor in visual quality. This beautiful anime takes place in a war-torn post-apocalyptic world with only a couple last vestiges of utopian civilization. The main utopia, and apparently the largest in the world, is called Olympus (there are Greek mythology references throughout). Olympus is also known for its manufacturing of genetically modified humans called Bioroids, supposedly without the capacity for hate or malice, as well as lacking the ability to reproduce. The narrative follows a woman police officer/mercenary named Deunan and her part in saving the world, etc. Olympus isn’t as utopian as it may seem, and those Bioroids may have ulterior motives… Suggested to anyone who wants to see something awesome.

Appleseed Ex Machina (2007)
Ekusumakina (エクスマキナ)

Okay, I know that I thought that Appleseed looked about as good as an anime could, but I was wrong, Ex Machina looks way better. An achievement of both animation and humanity. ^_^ Seriously, though, it’s awesome. Bigger, badder, and with higher stakes than the first one, Ex Machina outdoes its predecessor in pretty much every way. I want to tell you what it’s about, but that would spoil a lot of awesome surprises. I’ll tell you that it involves zombies, cloning, countries aside from Olympus, and awesomeness. I greatly enjoyed this movie, and I think that you would too. It’s also available on Bluray and HD-DVD — which is sweet as this movie is even more awesome when you can see the extra details afforded by High Definition.
