This. Then start getting the manga because the 'ending' of the Berserk anime will make you very, very angry.
More serious anime stuff (with wikipedia links for quick overview):
Now and Then, Here and There (Don't judge it by where it looks like it's going in the first episode),
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex,
Boogiepop Phantom, and
possibly even
Serial Experiments Lain,
Key, the Metal Idol, &
Haibane Renmei. Moviewise, there's
Saitoshi Kon's films (
Perfect Blue,
Millenium Actress,
Toyko Godfathers, &
Paprika), and there is, of course,
always Grave of the Fireflies.
And fourthing (or whatever we're up to) Gurren-Lagann. Not particularly serious, but it's (IMO) the best anime showing in Japan at the moment, and it's basically Gainax's love song to mecha anime throughout the decades. I hear that there's even
a thread here about it.
