My favorite quotes from animes:

Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people
who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies.
I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass
We are humans. - Shinsekai yori

>Good plot

You're on the wrong community for this kind of request...

A lot of your stuff is mainstream shounen action and/or fastpaced SoL.
In case you're looking for heavier shows or stuff with an actual developed plot, try:

Psychological thriller:
Shigurui
Asura
Monster
Denpa Tekina Kanojo
Paranoia Agent
Ergo Proxy
GITS
Gunslinger Girl

Thought provoking psychological:
Shigofumi
Hotaru no Haka
Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
Noein
Casshern Sins (meeh... so-so)

Psychological drama:
Texhnolyze
Kino no Tabi
Haibane Renmei
LAIN
Perfect Blue
Wolf's Rain

Darker fantasy:
Basilisk
Ga-Rei Zero
Mononoke

Random worthwhile more "easygoing" drama, comedy and/or romance series:
Denno Coil
FLCL
ARIA
Nanoha (mahou shoujo)
Spice & Wolf
Ef: A tale of Memo/Melo
True Tears
Kurenai
Makoto Shinkai movies
Hosoda Mamoru movies

Shinsekai Yori (24 episodes. Psychological thriller in a post-apocalyptic setting).

Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex (52 episodes. A crime thriller full of insight about its sci-fi setting, along with political and military subplots. Great animation and soundtrack).

How did no one suggest Berserk yet? Check out the movies if you're not a fan of the "old" art style. The last movie has a proper ending that the anime doesn't have as well.

Welcome To The NHK.

Claymore.

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.

Akira.

Ergo Proxy.

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Fate/Stay Night & Zero.

Gai-Rei: Zero.

Ghost in The Shell. EVERYTHING, movies and all.

Hellsing Ultimate.

Higashi no Eden.

Grave of The Fireflies.

Jormungand.

Kara no Kyoukai. All the movies.. All of them!

Mardock Scramble.

Monster.

Nana. Yes, seriously.

Spice and Wolf.

Phantom: Requiem for The Phantom.

Rainbow (Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin).

Perfect Blue.

Paprika.

Soukyuu no Fafner.

Shinsekai yori.

Speed Grapher.

Zetsuen no Tempest. (admittedly the 1st half is the best part)

Texhnolyze.

Usagi Drop.

Blood: The Last Vampire.

Blood+

Cowboy Bebop.

Canaan.

Dragonball & Dragonball Z (Seriously, how is that not on your list? I'm gonna assume you forgot about it.)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Full Metal Panic.

Gunslinger Girl.

Nodame Cantabile.

Steins; Gate.

1. Anohana - I hope you check this out. It "feel" anime. Its 13 episodes, ahhhh! It's just beautiful

http://myanimelist.net/anime/9989/Ano_Hi_Mita_Hana_no_Namae_wo_Bokutachi_wa_Mada_Shiranai.


2. Hunter X Hunter
Watch 1999v first because its more enjoyable than 2011. The old version has great and funny fillers, it made the series better. 2011 is exactly like the manga. Great character development, likeable characters, fight scenes uses strategy and not just strength. Feature each lead. No romance, and the female characters were strong too.



3. Bokura ga ita. Real relationship problems, very different on highschool romanxe stereotype series. Experience breakups, etc. Not the most beautiful art but you'll get pass through it. Its like each episode would ask you to watch more. Its really enjoyable. The plot is great. But the ending will lead you into reading ghe manga 20+ episodes


http://myanimelist.net/anime/1222/Bokura_ga_Ita



3. Yu yu hakusho. 90's anime but the plot is something, same manga creator as HxH



4. The girl who leapt through time
5. Spirited away
6. Howl's moving castle
7. Any studio ghibli films
8. Nagi no asukara. Another great and different series

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

If you truly want plot probably the most solid plot I will ever find in anime . . .


Would recommend Monster however it has slight pacing issues at points (and a few fillers) . . . Not sure how much you want a "good plot"

I just finished the Higurashi series. It has a good plot. You may want to give it a try.
