Similar anime to the following in the description.?

I am not a huge anime watcher, i have watched.. a few of them, i want something similar to ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, mushi shi, (not the action less ness but the fact that you must think about things outside of the actual episodes. My favorite was Ghost in the shell, and i dislike anime where every female character is useless and just useless. i don't care about the age or gender of the characters, but i would enjoy a happy ending. i also like a team aspect,so i guess you could say Ghost in the shell was the perfect one for me, as i became obsessed over the characters. i watched the entire 2 seasons and solid state society in the corse of 3 days.

Update:

Forgot to mention, i like a more stable base of conditions in the show, it may be weird but, for example,

in cowboy bebop, they always ended up back on their ship out all together, ghost in the shell was nearly always ending in capture or killing of the enemy. Perhaps the biggest thing is i want to be able to like the main character. i don't want dumb pointless action like in say... bleach where an enemy just shows up and a fight breaks out. Other anime i have seen is kaze no stigma (enjoyed it) and darker than black (it was alrite but i dislike how not much was explained in the end.) I barely could stand finishing the sacred blacksmith, (terrible plot and horrid character design) also i dont like the main charectors i will be getting attached to dieing, call me a wimp but i couldent even finish code giass after shirly was killed.

Update 2:

Agh i feel stupid with secound edit minutes later, but i have neglected to mention i have seen death note, and some shitty anime about teens in a zombie apocalypse.. highschool of the damned i think, i remember everything revolving around boobs, and being annoyed at the ending, and how their teacher seemed to be the devious villain for episodes at a time, then was nothing out of nowhere, i also recall the majority of criminals touching underaged girls boobs, and a terrible mix of seriousness and awful relationships.. oh and a pedophile nurse when held up in some insane military ladies house, who i was hoping became part of the story to add an interesting back round, however was just cut off from the story along with an emp or somthing, and never mentioned again. (sorry for bad typing have a cut finger)

    u like old classics anime.. umm i ddefintly suggest

    Deathnote

    -Follows the mysterious L and others as they try to catch cool and brainy high school student Raito Yagami who has come into possession of a notebook that allows him to summon a murderous demon simply by writing the name of his intended victim. Although Raito is aware that killing is wrong, he strongly believes that the violent crimes he perpetrates are justified because "evildoers must die in order to create a better society."

    It sounds strange but is a classic bit of a sadish ending though there are 3.

    -umm mabye Soul Eater? its a bit of a childish show but very funny

    Maka is a Meister and Soul is her Weapon. As students at the Grim Reaper’s Death Weapon Meister Academy, their study habits couldn’t be more different. But in battle against the supernatural forces of evil, they’re a freakin’ lethal team.

    Source(s): deathnote may have a sadish ending if u were rooting for a specifc group depending on the ending u watch

    Wolf's Rain is a lot like those and has the same writer and director as bebop. It's a post-apocalyptic anime and is pretty hard to explain.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf's_Rain

    Ergo Proxy is similar, also post apocolyptic, but much more like ghost in shell than wolfs rain (though both are closer to GIS than bebop). The writer did scripts for both bobop and GIS.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergo_Proxy

    Samurai Champloo is really like bebop character wise though the main girl is somewhat useless. Champloo is probably the anime most like bebop in characters and themes minus the setting. The director of bebop writes and directs champloo.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Champloo

    Source(s): Watched all of the anime mentioned (including highschool of the dead)
