All the series I recommends below are complete. (tells story from start to end)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (There are TV series and movies that both tell similar story but not the same, TV series have darker story)
Kill la Kill
Blast of Tempest
Assassination Classroom
Back Arrow (first half of series is meh but it becomes better and better)
Mob psycho 100
Summer Time Render
Now I'm a sucker for space westerns, so I gotta hype Trigun. If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist it has a lot to offer you.
Okay... Noted :)
Mob Psycho, Serei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit) and all Kind of Ghibli movies :)
Bubblegum Crisis The Guyver
One of my favorites is Black Rock Shooter. It's a bit wierd around the edges and it's presented as this girly slice of life but it's actually deeper and very cool
Another, The Devil is a Part timer, Noragami, and Food Wars
If you want some 80s badassery, Hokuto no Ken.
Listen to the opening, "Ai wo Torimodose" and decide if it's to your liking or not.

Hmm something tells me code geass is looking like a good choice. Thanks for the detailed suggestions!
My favorites are Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, From the New World and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Both have excellent stories.
For what they are:
If you mentioned Ghost in the Shell then I must mention the two movies (original and Innocence). They're very important because they're both one-off's made by iconic directors and graphical artists, with their own style, distinct from the manga and the series. They're both amazing works of art, the soundtrack, the art, the plot, the cultural references, everything is top notch.
I actually love both movies and the manga goes very deep, but I read somewhere in the thread that he was looking for series and not so much movies.
If you love GitS, I recommend Patlabor movies (though the 3rd isn't very good), if you haven't already seen them.
Cowboy Bebop
I'm a little disappointed that Hajime No Ippo wasn't mentioned. It's from the early 2000s, plays in the late 80s and it's about boxing. The writing and how fleshed out the characters are is unexpectedly good for that kind of setup and it's one of my absolute favorites.
Two great comical animes are golden boy and great teacher onizuka but they have a lot of cliche anime perverted jokes I can see putting off a lot of people especially when they're not deep into anime.
Then there's goblin slayer but you might want to look up the controversy about the first episode before you go blindly into it.
I'll piggyback here to mention Yawara! for another great cross between sports (women's judo) and teenage drama/comedy. They did a great job on the anime but IIRC it only covers part of the manga. It's a great feminine counterpart to Hajime no Ippo.
