I see what you did there...I'd personally recommend Boku no Pico. It's a real balanced anime with stunning visuals and decent story/character developments. I also heard it got high rates in many dedicated reviews.
Other; Zetsuen no Tempest, Black Rock Shooter, One Piece (forcing it down your throat, because it's the most profound anime out there), Psycho-Pass (bit gorry), Rurouni Kenshin, Kateikyo Hitman Reborn, Clannad (RL-based).
