From: GranzonEx | #048 I highly suggest no one to take CG seriously. It's not meant to be anything but a fun ride. If it's philosophical then Amagami is philosophical.
CG can definitely be pondered philosophically, there's a lot of good stuff in there. But it won't force feed it to you, you're on your own to find it.
Look, I love CG a lot and find it to be highly entertaining (definitely one of my favourite anime series - I prefer it over the stuff I've suggested), but it's not philosophical by any stretch of the imagination. One could try to analyze its general themes philosophically ("what is evil? Can someone achieve good through evil means? Can good be achieved through an evil system?"), but the series itself clearly doesn't do anything with it. It's entertaining, but certainly not "deeply philosophical".

Yeah, I pretty much agree with this, I'm not in the mood to push or explain it any further then what I did in my earlier posts.
Also, I do agree that Big O and Evangelion are pretty philosophical, FMA B is also not bad but not as good as the first, was just trying to trim down my list and add a few unmentioned options. Black Rock Shooter is up there on my list of potential animes to watch, so I'm also glad to see it get mentioned in this topic.
