I can't believe nobody has mentioned Samurai 7 yet. That's a great one!
Netflix has the whole thing available on instant.

Good stuff right here. 
One of my personal favorites is Planetes. It's set in 2075 and it takes a realistic look at what space travel may be like in the decades ahead -- it's about a team of "garbage men" whose job it is to remove dangerous space debris from Earth orbit to clear the way for safer development in the solar system. I can't do it proper justice and the only trailer I could find up on youtube was of the pretty atrocious dub (what else is new?) Definitely check this one out if you like SF Anime, it's extremely well written and the characters are deep.

This won't be for everyone, but Legend of Galactic Heroes is probably my number one. It's the longest OVA ever made (it ran at 110 episodes, between 1988 and 1997,) and is basically the "Real" Star Wars. Crazy space opera with huge battles, nothing but classical music, legitimate political intrigue, and so many significant characters that they display their names and titles on-screen throughout the whole series. Zero fan service; this one can be pretty cruel to its characters. It's difficult to get a hold of these days, I managed to torrent it but over the course of several months because there were so few seeds. I think it's all up on youtube but obviously in pretty poor quality (although the torrents would be VHS rips, so not much better.) Also, if you need really slick and colorful animation then this one probably is not for you -- the animation is pretty stiff, though it does improve noticeably for last 30 episodes or so. If I haven't managed to discourage you give it a shot, it's probably the most intelligent anime ever made (I can't believe that it ever DID get made, straight to video and all. My sincere thanks to whatever coked up Japanese exec gave that one the green light.)

YES! I heard of Planetes when I was looking for outer space anime. Fuck there was another really popular outer space anime that's usually mentioned alongside it, but I can't recall the name...

Also Overmind, I'm going to check out Legend of Galactic Heroes. Sounds very intriguing indeed. I am a huge fan of space frontier anime, whenever I come across them.

YES! I did not catch the Akashic Records bit when I watched it as a kid (how could I have, wasn't even familiar with the concept) but I rewatched Outlaw Star a few months ago and that blew my fucking mind. The last two episodes are indeed a trip in and of themselves. For those of you in the US, that entire Toonami lineup that contained Outlaw Star, YYH, Robotech, etcetera is permanently etched onto my brain. Children's programming has really taken a nose-dive since those thought provoking, trippy shows (although I do give huge props to Adventure Time and Regular show, way more subversive then anything I had growing up.) I loved drawing when I was a kid and I went through a phase after Outlaw Star where I refused to draw any vehicle that didn't have arms holding menacing weapons on it...hahah 
Remember this?
Toonami did the best promos bar none. This one was always my favorite:

Sunset, I have not seen Stellvia of the Universe, though I had heard of it the same way you did -- searching around for Space anime. I thought maybe you'd been thinking of Infinite Ryuvius, about the spaceship where all of the adults die, leaving the children in a Lord of the Flies type scenario. I've heard good things but it seemed to me like another japanese high school drama in an unusual setting and I'm not a big fan of those and all the weird tropes that go along with them.

Please post more. IMMEDIATELY 
I didn't catch the Akashic Records bit either as a kid but when I recently re-watched it I was like in the last episode.
The original Toonami line-up/Adult Swim, my god the nostalgia... throwing my HW aside to watch Inuyasha, G Gundam, Tenchi Muyo, Big O, Bebop, Yu Yu, etc... staying up past curfew for Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, man those were the good old days. Those shows were, as you said, very thought-provoking, and the Toonami promos were excellent.
This is the best one, methinks, it inspired me SO MUCH to just follow my dreams, and still inspires me today:
YOU GONNA JUST KEEP RUNNING AWAY!? 
Just keep running away...? 
...
...I'm not running

Likewise, except for First of the North Star which I'll have to check out now for a bit of the ol' ultra-violence!
Code Geass was fun and well animated but the plot was kind of dumb and seemed to require at least one really obvious Deus Ex Machina moment almost every episode to hold it together. Also the characters were all really one dimensional (fitting for all of Lelouch's "pawns," but not so much for...well everyone else.) Both sides always seem to invent whatever highly specific technology they need to counter their opponents at a moments notice and with zero explanation. The whole "Zero Requiem" thing at the end is also highly retarded/convoluted.
More classic Toonami promos:
This all reminded me that:
A. Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, did all of Toonami's narration 
B. There is a justin.tv channel called Toonami Aftermath running much of the old lineup
