It's not. It just has a similar art style.
Standalone Complex is awesome as is 2nd Gig. (Unless you absolutely can't stand thinking.)

^ Too much thinking r bad. I mean I started to not like Death Note because allot of some parts is just Light going paranoid with overflowing thoughts.
I did watch Samurai Champloo already btw: I loved it, its not the best and it wasn't as good as Bebop but it was pretty good.
mehhh I'm not sure If I can take Claymore seriously, Japanese writers always involve women in "ecchi roles or even worse and i know you know what i mean"
Darker than Black I have heard allot about that,
I may watch Outlaw Star again because I watched a bunch of it but I can't remember a whole allot about it other than the final episode.

Eh. I'd say there's a difference between Deathnote's brand of "thinking" (where you need someone pointing out constantly that the two are brilliant geniuses rather than the idiots they really are) and thoughtful writing like in SAC and 2nd gig.
In DN, the whole of the action consists of the supposed mental duel. In GitS, you have a high level faceoff between Section 9 and another political entity or two, (which is interesting) but you also get the lower level stuff like Batou smashing through a wall to deliver an elbow to a cyborg that results in both of them skidding along the floor before the pressure from the elbow eventually pops off the other guy's head. (Which is awesome.)
On the thinking stuff: (Spoiler warning if someone's thinking of watching the show.)
Batou being awesome:

ya Fairy Tail is NOT made by Eichiro Oda of One Piece, it's done by Hiro Mashima of Rave Master Similar style, mediocre quality, and decent action i guess. very light hearted.
Claymore is serious, at almost all times it's serious, it's gory, it's actiony, it's serious. it may have a naked woman but she'll either be killing or being killed.
Death Note is just a straight shounen anime except instead of fist fighting it's mind fighting, that's it, and it even had an opponent show up after one of them were defeated.
Ghost in the SHell on the other hand is all philosophy and politics, it CAN be slow or uninteresting for a little bit but overall it's a fantastic series, but yes you should see the original movie first before going into this.
Fruits Basket is pretty good in general, it's actually funny on most of it's attempts at being so. But it isn't serious til the end where it was more abrupt than thought out.
Gantz is fucking stupid but all blood, tits and explosions, like ELfen Lied except Elfen had some substance under it
Black Lagoon is badass but unbelievable and can get dull after a bit
Samurai Champloo is fantastic, especially if you liked Bebop, and your thought process on "japanese writers" making women ecchi all the time is stupid otherwise ALL anime out there including Pokemon would have it, and ecchi is only a small part of anime anyway. (although growing substantionally)
WHoever recommended Gungrave gtfo, Gungrave wants to be a modern day Berserk with no action, no sense and 90% boring, but high quality boring it is.
I will second Baccano! in every way, as it's AMAZING, and Darker than BLACK is pretty sweet too (some of the best action scenes in a long time)
tell Bubbles to shove Vampire Knight up his ass because it's not very good (not terrible) at all
and Gundam Zeta is great, Gundam ZZ isn't as great but still good. Macross Frontier was actually pretty good, but still one of the worst of the Macross series (but they're almost all great)
and whoever asked if Clannad was good the answer is YES, go watch it
