Looking for a Philosphical/Strategic/Modern Anime. - Proficiency - Sep 23, 2014
Animes I've watched:
- Attack on Titan (Loved it)
- Full Metal Alchemist (Loved it)
- Death Note (Freakin Loved it)
- Akame Ga Kill (Sort of like this cause of the action, but the storyline was shitty in my opinion)
- Tokyo Ghoul (Loved it)
- Soul Eater (Okay)
- Log Horizon (Loved it)
- Code Geass (My favorite Anime, had everything I'm looking for.)
- Sword Art Online (Liked the first 13 episodes, hated it as soon as you know what [Don't want to spoil])
- Zankyou no Terror/Terror in Resonance (Loved it, ending had some feels, just the way I like it)
There are some that I know I'm forgetting. Will edit when I remember.
But can someone recommend an Anime for me to watch?

Try Angel Beats, it has a lot of action.
/Waits for papa eiqhtworks to come and trash all recommendations.
* - Chips Ahoy McCoy - Sep 23, 2014
Check out Zankyou no Terror. It's the best one this season imo.
Strategy/Psychological.
* - eiqht - Sep 23, 2014
Alright, I'm going to give you shit you should watch. If you don't, fuck you and you're missing out.
1. Kill La Kill (you need to shut your brain off)
2. Noragami (10/10 masterpiece, watch first)
3. Samurai Champloo (watch dub)
4. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
5. Aldnoah.Zero (stunning action and all the above of what you're looking for)
6. Bakemonogatari (starts slow, picks up after ep 3 or 4, 10/10 not as action-y though)
7. Welcome to the NHK (I prefered dub, 9/10)
8. Zankyou no Terror
Order you should watch:
Noragami (only 12 eps)
Zankyou no Terror (12 eps)
Aldnoah.Zero (only 12 eps)
Rest is up to you.

My top choice for you would be Hamatora The Animation.
Should have all of what you're looking for, especially in the 2nd season.
The 1st season will be a little slower, but it's necessary for the plot and isn't all that bad.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/23421/Re:%E2%90%A3Hamatora
My second choice is Zankyou no Terror, as people have been suggesting a lot.
I also recommend Sunday Without God. I'll first note that there's really no reference to religion nor is there any religious type folk who go crazy or anything. It's more about "What would the world be like if God just left". The villages/world has a sort of Attack on Titan vibe in the sense that it's less technological than ours. Otherwise it's not as if humanity is on the brink of extinction like in BlackBullet/Attack on Titan.
There's some bits of action/strategy but not much. But it's still pretty interesting.

Ergo Proxy. A future society with androids and whatnot. Has an Attack on Titan vibe in the sense that people live in walls and can't explore the outside world. A fairly mysterious anime with some action and fighting too.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/790/Ergo_Proxy
Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica. I quote this one over in SRPP a lot because of its philosophical value. There's also fighting and whatnot.

Here's some more... you can searchem on myanimelist yourself.
Psycho Pass
Black Bullet
Eve no Jikan
Steins;Gate
Robotics;Note
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
The "A Certain Magical Index / A Certain Scientific Railgun" series.
Edit: Here's an ordered list of all of my suggestions from best to worst.

You always seem to recommend the same shit man. I can get behind all but 2 of these as good shows, but the only ones on that list that actually fit what he's looking for are ZnT and maybe Aldnoah.Zero if we stretch the margin a bit..
idk.

I wouldn't trust his judgement, KLK is a pretty great show with good humor to top it off. Besides, he gave Mirai Nikki a ten. ❓

I can vouch for this recommendation, it's fucking awesome and has an amazing soundtrack.

I recommend the same shit because most of the people posting here are new to anime and that's what I think they would all like. He said "action" so I threw in some in there with plenty of fight scenes. I recommend better anime in the lounge, anybody that posts a thread for recs are new to anime so I recommend them the same. All I do is literally c+p on every rec thread, they all ask for the same. Gurren Lagann would fit most, same with A.Z since he liked Code Geass. I threw in Samurai Champloo since he seems too like mainstream anime and the dub isn't bad. Welcome to the NHK is pretty philosophical and thought provoking.
I don't know, here OP:

How is my MN 10/10 rate even matter on this subject? You've barely watched 1k anime episodes, if anything, YOUR opinion would be the one people shouldn't trust. (Not that I'm bragging anyways, just going by the same thought as you did)
* - NexPB - Sep 24, 2014
Zetsuen no Tempest seems like something you would like its on of my favorites! =D
* - Proficiency - Sep 24, 2014
Wow, I didn't expect this much recommendations. I'm going to check out Zankyou no Terror first.
Looks like I have a long list to check out. Thanks guys!

I'll always trust the opinion of someone who likes Sakurasou. that's a fact for me personally.

Personally, it just shows me how out of whack your standards are. I don't update my hummingbird or MAL often enough for you to know what I've seen but it's fine if you think that's relevant. I was basing it on the fact that you can take a show like MN seriously, while calling a show that is clearly meant to be funny "pleb tier". It's an action comedy, a pretty decent one at that.

Kek, judging my tastes? What kind of a dumb human being are you? How can you judge anyone based on their tastes? Tastes are subjective, it has nothing to do with taking an anime "seriously" I don't take any anime seriously, they exist to entertain me and nothing else, who the fuck are you to judge me because I liked something that entertained me?
By saying KLK was pleb tier I was telling you my thoughts but I never judged you for liking it, you never saw me arguing with you or anyone else or saying they have shit taste because they like it.
You are probably too young to even understand basic philosophy.
