http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uch%C5%AB_Senkan_Yamato:_Fukkatsu_hen, maybe?

It can't be from before ~2004, judging by the CG. The description, "From NicoDouga" doesn't help much. The title is "Uchuu Senkan Yamato" so it isn't an offshoot or the new live-action movie.

Hey, so far the only anime I have watched is Ghost in the Shell and Evangelion. If I liked each of those (obviously because they are pscyhological, what is similar?

[quinnr]

Rozen Maiden is pretty cool :-P

I liked it, too bad the story never really finished.

WHAT?!?!?

Damn. But...do we at least figure out who the 'Father' is, and what happens when they become Alice?

The answer to both of those questions is a resounding "Yes and no".

Have you seen all of GITS? There's two movies, a two-season series, and perhaps some OVAs(not sure here).
Admittedly, movies are much more trippy than the series.

Other than that:
Texhnolyze
Ergo Proxy
Jin-Roh(aka the Wolf brigade)
You can't get much more psychological than these.

It's good show and worth watching anyway.
The series finished but the ending was left wide open.

HAWKFROST! WHERE WERE YOU!?
We have been missing you in the GC!

This show holds nothing back.

This show actually manages to pull off being emotional...god damn.

Thanks very much. I am watching all of GITS, yes. not quite done with the episodes, just seen the 2 end movies.
Are they all dark? I could use something lighter after NGE.
Ex. Light is GITS episodes, medium is GITS movies.
Did I just say GITS episodes are light? wow. NGE is quite depressive.

They play it at 3 in the morning on weekdays only where I live. And they block my area of youtube. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-.

[ToonyMan]

You live on the west coast then or am I missing something?

Because they have channels in the west coast for the exact problem you're having.

I was hoping Col. Mustang at least had some sort of contingency plan to save her for getting some info about B-Gen. Hughes. You know, have her sacrifice at least a tooth or something to fool dental records or something. She can't really be dead, right?

They're all have one sort of dystopia or another for their setting, so yes, all dark.
Ergo Proxy is probably the only one not depressing of the bunch.

I can't really think of anything that would qualify as brainy and not dark at the same time.
Haibane Renmei maybe? There's still a lot of shadows lingering about, but overall it's pretty bright and hopeful.
Ah, right, Serial Experiments Lain. Not exactly brimming with joy, but not bathing in angst and despair either.

Ok, the more I think about it, the more anime I can remember which actually fit there. There's always some dark, mature themes in these, but it's only fair - it's hard to make a psychological comedy sitcom:
Mushi-shi(or Mushishi) - that's probably your best choice. Very calming, serene and thought provoking at the same time.
Kino's Journey(aka Kinoo no tabi) - shit happens in this one, but the overall feeling somehow stays uplifting
The Sky Crawlers - on the level of GITS movies most likely. I wonder if that's because it was made by the same guy.
Welcome to the NHK - now that's more of a >psychiatric< cases study rather than just psychological, but it's great nonetheless, and keeps a healthy dose of humour, somewhat in spite of the depressing lives of the protagonists.

I'm pretty sure it was because...

Hughes was Mustang's best friend and learning that Ross "killed" him made Mustang become a little homicidal, but calm.  Calm and homicidal.

Incineration first, questions later.

Incidentally, Mustang vs Envy is a pretty awesome fight.  Kinda bizarre in that Envy spends the entire time frantically trying to get away.
