To add to the trifecta, I think there are a few more to mention:

Tatami Galaxy - This show is unique, but definitely thought-provoking. A lot of quick-talking, but if you sit through all of it, I'm sure you'll love it. Very satisfying.

Kara no Kyoukai - Garden of Sinners - It's a set of 7 movies that pretty much sum of what you liked. Very philosophical with a strong female lead that doesn't pander in the least. Great story and action.

Mushishi - This is another philosophical show, but it's slice of life as well. Contains a decent amount of fantasy elements.

Katanagatari - 12 hour long episodes that tell a very endearing story. A bit of romance, but very serious overall. It also has a really touching ending. Definitely not one to shy away from tragedy and some extreme choices.

Planetes - This is a show about two garbage collectors clearing trash in space. It sounds kinda lame, but it's an interesting slice of life show with a decent amount of sci-fi and another great female lead.

Blacksaber and Torillian also knows what's up. I think you'll enjoy the majority of what we've listed.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
