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.

Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, every season of Kaguya.
Edit: Chainsaw Man, Oshi no Ko.
I like bebop, its up there. Eva never clicked w me. "Love is war" is top tier. Ill go check chainsaw and oshi no ko haven't heard those yet.
Ok i got a couple for you. what do you think of chobits op? Read or die? (I also love 1 punch but duh everyone loves that one, right?)
I'll be up front and say that I like my music big, stupid, and energetic. In that regard, Chobits and RoD are both decent starting points to build from but imo they don't go far enough. Chobits especially has some moments where there's a clear route to go higher energy but it stays low instead.
And yeah agreed on One-Punch, though I forgot to mention it lol. Some other stuff now that I've had some sleep:
Honorable Mentions:
i dislike evangelion, but it is undeniable tha the opening is one of the GOAT.
Edit: ill add demon slayer entertainment arc, SxF s1 and blue lock.
Cowboy Bebop was a fun series of vignettes without a strong overarching plot. Also, lots of comedy.
AoT is high drama with lots of mystery and gore inside strong narrative arc. Far more in line with Eva and Chainsaw Man.
Even then, Eva is incredibly slow-paced, particularly at the beginning. Its far more psychological, on par with Elfin Lied or Monster. AoT and Chainsaw Man both hit the ground running, don't shy away from intense action scenes, and present the mystery as part of direct human conflict rather than some cryptic intrigue read on the edges of the narrative.
And the world building in AoT is much denser. Comparable to Twelve Kingdoms or El Hazard. There's so much more there there. It isn't just a handful of main characters grappling with their own inner demons.
As an epic story, it feels like Naruto minus the interminable filler. Not nearly as visually artistic as your picks, but richer as a setting and less reliant on a small set of lead characters that you need to empathize with.
