I'd endorse this suggestion as well and also recommend Mouryou no Hako. Don't let the first episode fool you into thinking it's about mindless adolescent girls. Most of the story centers around adults. Lot of philosophizing and discussions of Omnyou mysticism in this show as well. It was released in the fall of 2008, but the subs took a long time to appear because of the complex Japanese script. No single group released the entire series; I watched Aero's subs followed by Aoi's. For some reason, Aero's episode five has vanished from the AS list. There's a complete version with the Aero/Aoi subs at another, well-known anime archive that I can't mention because it also lists licensed materials.

Edit: GHDpro promises to fix this problem.
