Bleach! (no, just kidding, sorry)

Paranoia Agent and Kino's Journey yeah watch them.
Haibane Renmei and Lain are by the same people, both pretty awesome. Haibane isn't quite so philosophical as Lain. And I wish to protest, Lain isn't a mindscrew. After watching it four times and spending hours reading stuff about it online it makes perfect sense to me. (Okay it is pretty much a mindscrew, only one with a purpose and a clear ending. Unlike the train wreck that Evangelion turned into. Send me a PM if you want Lain explained, heh).

If your definition of "philosophical" includes "cultural commentary" you could try Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Dark humor, not really magical, but it's certainly about cultural issues. That's a bit stretching the boundaries of what philosophical means though.
