Sorry, I even hesitated making this thread but after the 6billion (about 3) other anime threads I have created to get new animes to watch I am pressed to find ones of a certain quality, so I shall ask you! 
Basically I am looking for ANY anime series (preferably not focusing on schoolgirls, *cough* clannad *cough*) and having one of those epic story lines, im looking for something like Death note, Fullmetal Alchemist or Code geass, and that ends (don't want a 250+ ep long series and still going >.<) and not on this list http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Darktau now that I have placed a million (about 5) criteria on what I am looking for I shall hand it over to the Escapians.
Thanks
Edit: Does ghost in the shell (series, not movie) pick up to a proper storyline after stand alone complex?
