Looking for advice!

Might like Noir or Madlax which can be fairly serious, and people do get killed in it. 26 eps in both with real plots.

Though Clannad was indeed amazing, I still love Eureka Seven's story more: it contained more description and a deep plot than Clannad did, in my opinion (but then again, Clannad didn't really need a deep plot.) Its best not to compare them, though. 'Since they're of different genres.

If you liked Hellsing and Death Note, you should probably check out Code Geass (if you're ok with giant mechas.)
I'm also with Tek on his recommendation of Eureka seveN: its a bit romance-heavy, but its a wonderful anime.

Are you lumping Clannad and Clannad: After Story into there, or are you just talking about Clannad?
As much as I like Clannad, if you haven't seen After Story you're missing out on the best part.
At any rate, if you liked Eureka Seven you should check Clannad out.

also, I mentioned code geass in my first post

No I meant Clannad and Clannad: After Story together. As I said, the series didn't need that much depth to it (besides the other worlds and the wishing part of it), and when you look at Eureka SeveN's plot, it had an unbelievable amount of depth: so much was explained over around the same course of episodes that Clannad & After Story had (if put together.) I'm just saying that more happened in E7 because it needed to happen, is all. ^^;;
And I'm well aware. It never hurts to see two recommendations for the same anime, now does it?

Nope XD

Oh, BTW, I never heard of Clannad before, but it seems interesting; good art, typical High School story.

Not my brand of tea, though.

Kimagure Orange Road isn't on everyone's list, but it should be.
