Need more like X...

I am the type of person who loves profound stories. What do you mean by this? Simple: Think: Children Of Men, The Road, Serial Experiments Lain and Gantz.

I love a concept that might seem uncomfortable/depressing.

Anyway, my point is, does anyone know some anime along these lines? I am watching Steins Gate right now, which is cool, but besides an episode a week, I have NOTHING ELSE TO WATCH! (sad face).

I'm not sure if you'll like it, but you can give Bokurano a try. It's definitely uncomfortable and depressing, and the story is pretty major. It's about kids piloting a robot to save the earth, but the twist is that . . . well, damn, I don't want to give it away. The first twist comes at the end of the first episode, and the second one is revealed later down the line. They're good twists though, not the M. Night kind of crap.

Sad, but true. All I'm seein' among the newest series are the following genres and variations of them : fighting, fanservice, comedy. To be true, I hate fanservice animes. Oh, occasionly an underboob/sideboob or some pantyflashes are okay, but when all the show is about these I feel like bashing my keyboard with my head...

Nothing more. Good thing I stoped watching anime a while ago, and switched to manga, novels and some fanfictions.
When I'll see something interesting, I will watch that ofcourse, but I'll wait till it has a mass of episodes, because I'm a tipe, who watches series in a bulk at a time.

Alright go watch Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica RIGHT NOW seriously sounds right up your alley. It may seem cute and innocent at first, IT'S NOT.
Let me summarize my thought about this show in an image

and while we're one it I would also recommend Neon Genius Evangelion
Oooooo almost forgot Elfen Lied, great anime, really for no other reason than it's awesome again THOUGHT SUMMARIZING IMAGE

@MrShadowzs
Ah, there is a slight missunderstanding on your end. We were talking about recent anime. I know there are some awsome older anime out there, and I occasionly start one on recomendation from someone or for some other reason.

ummmm okay, but you do know Madoka Magica came out just last season?

Oh this is fantastic! I'm going to go to the store and look for this stuff like right now :D. Thanks so much everyone for the replies! I'm seriously psyched now ;)

Try reading Eden: Its an Endless World! Severely depressing.

Boogie pop phantom, Shigofumi, H2O: Footprints in the sand, Phantom: Requiem for the phantom, Deadman Wonderland, Grave of the fireflies, Welcome to the NHK, Bongaku Shoujo...have you seen School days by chance?

Nope haven't seen school days.

You probably should then, I personally didn't like the show as a whole, but honestly the ending is worth it.
