All right-y!. Normally I'm not a huge fan of anime, but I have definitely found one that fits the "philosophical" bit of the description!. Granted, it's thirty-seven episodes, however there *was* a movie made of it!.
Death Note!. Beautifully written!. It conquers the debate of good vs!. evil in a manner I haven't seen often!. It also throws onto the table the effects of dehumanization and other subtle issues here and there!. also debated therein-- the definition of morality and the (perhaps not philosophical, but still pulled off very well) effects of intellectual alienation!. !.!.!. Yeah, it has its painfully anime moments, however-- all in all-- it's very beautifully done!. I loved it and I'm a pretty harsh critic!.
Good luck finding the right anime! Trust me, I know it's hard!. :)Www@Enter-QA@Com
