It's animated mass entertainment. Looking for anything beyond shallow philosophy is asking too much of the medium, IMHO.
I agree with you about Final Fantasy, though I think it's a poor example -- a lot of anime "philosophy" goes little further than skin-deep, but Final Fantasy didn't even try. Though I would hardly call GITS a philosophical exercise, it does bring up some interesting points about what it means to be human, which is more than I can say for most animated entertainment.
