kind of. Got tired of sliced life. So i'm seeking something around FMA or early Berserk. Less sword-swaying, more word/thoughts, planning... Hopefully not one-to-one. At least one country should be doomed.

Code Geass I guess, if you want grand scale fighting check it out.

Uhhh Evangelion too maybe.

20th Century Boys

This week's favorites:

• Golden Kamui

Quote from tsuto

20th Century Boys

I second.

Also
Death Note
and
Claymore ( First bit is mostly sword swinging, but as you get later on there is less sword swinging and more plots. =D)

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Have you tried reading Rurouni Kenshin yet?

Right now I can think of:

Fairy Tail
666satan
Marchen Awakens Romance

MAR & 666 Satan are boring.
Code Geass - is it the one with 2ch scanlated?
Others known and loved.

It seems I misunderstood what you were looking for, let's try again.

Dangu
BLAME!
Samurai Deeper Kyo
"Record of Lodoss War" all of them
Angel Sanctuary
Banya
Übel Blatt

Well, close...
But (may be with exception of Angel Sanctuary. can't process shoujo well & Dangu - gotta circle around) they all lack smth like, hm, deepness?

Start looking for Seinen or Psychological titles.

I suggest:
Sanctuary
Parasyte
Blue Heaven
Confession (KAWAGUCHI Kaiji)
Eternal Sabbath
Monster

Death Note
Doubt (TONOGAI Yoshiki) brand new! Yesterday
Meisou Kuiki

I don't see the dept in FMA, but well, last try:

Planning, Dept and Doom

Dragon head
Battle Royale The country is not doomed, but the characters are...
Eden
MPD Psycho
King of Thorns

Probably

Psyren
Gantz

And BLAME! doesn't lack dept, but it is hard to follow sometimes.

hmmm
Threads of Time (not exactly scheming, but has depth)
and I second
Death Note
Eternal Sabbath

Historie looks like it's going to be an epic, with some cool battles/strategy. It's paced more like a novel than a serialized manga. It's an on-going series though, and the story is just starting to get grand.
