Argentosoma (for one of the most depressing and emo anime ever more so than 'she the ultimate weapon' to my mind)
Fafner: Dead aggressor
Darker than black(nothing like eva thank fuck for that, until the last 2 episodes

)
Teknolyze

some ideas *shrugs*

I thought it was about the dance?

Haruhi gets a little philosophical, but unless you have a bit of grounding there and are paying attention you're likely to miss it.

Indeed sir.

Which should I watch first? I've wanted to start NEG but I heard of RahXephon and was intrigued.

RahXephon sucks

No seriously, I'd go with NGE.

You might want to take a look at Elfen Lied. And if you liked lain, try Haibane Renmei, not big on action but very nice and by the same guy as Lain. You might enjoy Fullmetal Alchemist or MushiShi on the mystical/magical side of things.

And yeah, RahXephon was much better than Eva (of course I saw Eva long after it came out so it's not a big nostalgia thing for me).

YMMV.

i disagree =( i liked RahXephon.
however i also disagree that its a NGE clone, ppl just have that misconception because of the end of evangelion movie being somewhat similar to the RahXephon ending imo -_-. i mean sure some of the stuff is similar but the explanations behind everything is completly diff -_-.

Paranoia Agent and Paprika. Wonderful anime to watch. They are both really psychedelic.

Hmm, I don't have anime suggestions here (since I've been looking for those myself as well) but try Mulholland Drive or Pulse (the original Japanese movie) They're both stylistically surreal, slow-paced and heavily psychological (like the abstract scenes that happened in the characters' minds in EVA and just that gerenal Lain creepiness)
