Think about it...
Jokes aside, it's sad how the genre has outright gone the way of the Dodo since like 2009.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
You beat me to mentioning Bravern but I can't think of a second recent example.
Given the prompt goes back to 2009, and if you are generous with your definition of good, I'd say: some of the late Votoms OVAs, the Macross F movies, Macross Delta and its movies, maybe Gargantia on Verdurous Planet (wasn't my taste, but some like it).
I've heard good things about Planet With and Granbelm, but haven't personally seen them yet.
