But if you like reading manga then you should read it instead. The first season of the anime suffers from pacing and animation issues.

Ones I gave a 9 or 10 score:
Maria-sama ga Miteru -- MAL 7.29. 1st season scored 9 with 10's for the last three installments. Also happens to be my #1 (franchise).
Just Because! -- MAL 7.24. 9 score.

Ones I gave an 8 score:
Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi -- MAL 7.16. Same mangaka who did Takagi-san.
Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru -- MAL 7.05. Another one by Takagi-san mangaka.
Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai -- MAL 7.00.
Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo -- MAL 7.33. 2nd and 3rd seasons aren't as good but still OK.
Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai -- MAL 7.28. 2nd season equally good.
Harmonie -- MAL 7.24. Movie, 25 mins.
Love Lab -- MAL 7.32.
Mouretsu Pirates -- MAL 7.15.
Hiyokoi -- MAL 7.28. Special, 22 mins.
Sasameki Koto -- MAL 7.06.
Strawberry Panic -- MAL 7.28.
Gokujou Seitokai -- MAL 6.94.
El Cazador de la Bruja -- MAL 7.22.
Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi -- MAL 7.26.
Strike Witches MAL 6.95. Ecchi/fanservice. Fairly large franchise.

Ones I gave a 7 score:
Miru Tights -- MAL 6.45. For all true men (and women) of culture...

Could list more but I'll stop here.

This 6.68 deserves a 10, but maybe you won't like the fact that it is 3D CGI, it's Chinese, and the plot feels more like that of a live action drama than an anime.

Koi wa Ameagari no You ni is a great example if you are looking for a drama or romance with drama elements. It is definitely one of Wit Studio's best productions and one that was largely ignored due to the prejudice built on its premise. 

Another work I would highly recommend is Boogiepop wa Warawanai. The Boogiepop Series Light Novel is my second favorite work of all time, and while the anime isn't quite as amazing, it's definitely a rich in substance and fantastical experience that will likely teach you a lot and drag you into the work. If you prefer, start with the Light Novel, but I would recommend watching the 2018 anime for a better start-up of the work. Certainly, a must-watch when it comes to psychological thrillers and philosophical works of enormous caliber. 

From the creators of Steins;Gate, Occultic;Nine is perhaps the most underrated example of my recommendations. If you are a lover of mysteries and works with an interconnected plot, in which every detail matters, you will most likely love this one. Unfortunately, the incredible direction and masterful connections between events were largely ignored by audiences when Occultic;Nine aired, largely due to the very fast-paced dialogue style and Ryoka's scenes in the first episode. The anime does have some fanservice in its first episode, true, but it definitely lacks that Ecchi element and he's barely seen in the rest of the series, if that's your concern. 

Finally, two recommendations if you prefer works involving art, or even career and sports as a whole. Both invest on the topic of dance. The first of these is Ballroom e Youkoso, a distant "cousin" of Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basket, Kaze wa Tsuyoku Fuiteru and other sports works by Production I.G. Ballroom is a Shonen sports that is about ballroom dancing and that focuses especially on the element of passion, the awakening of a career and competition. In contrast, the other example is Dance Dance Danseur, my favorite anime among the new ones released last year. The second features a greater element of drama and focuses on building a career, revolving around Ballet and introducing us to Murao Junpei's self-realization in contrast to Mori Luou and his tragic past. Both works are sensational in direction and promise great events for you, and I strongly recommend them.
