Hey guys, there is an anime from the same director of lain (ryutaru nakamura) and writer of lain (chiaki konaka) and mangaka of ghost in the shell (masamune shirow) called "ghost hound". It was made in 2007 and it is as philosophical as lain but focusing on spiritual matters. It is without yoshitoshi abe though.
And to say lain is the best of all time is an exagerration imho. Even two of abe/ueda other works top it (im reffering to haibane renmei and texhnolyze)/
as for other works, what about satoshi kon (r.i.p) works. And mamoru oshii works (epecially angel's egg and twilight q), what about wolf's rain and denno coil, what about vampire princess miyu (the old one, the new one i didn't see), what about koji yamamura's "franz kafka, a country doctor", what about mizuho nishikubo's otogi zushi, what about tamala 2010, what about konaka's other works. I am sure there is more i don't know about/ don't remember right now.
though some say shigurui also answer to the category of psychological stuff, i don't sure about it (it is from the same director of texhnolyze).
