That's... uh.. quite an interesting selection you got there.

Personally, none of those shows really appeal to me all that much 

For deep, introspective anime I'd HIGHLY recommend Satoshi Kon's work. His movies like Perfect Blue and Paprika are phenomenal and definitely check out the series Paranoia Agent.
Otherwise, the original Ghost in the Shell movie is also a great sci-fi film with heavy emphasis on philosophy. If you really want to have your mind fucked, Serial Experiments Lain will do that for you.

For action packed shows, I'm a huge proponent of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It lives up to it's name and is something shounen and anime fans should at least be familiar with considering it's impact on the genre and anime as a whole. Even pokemon referenced it! I also love me some One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100. ONE does a great job making characters in big fantastic situations feel relatable and likable. I'm also enjoying the currently airing My Hero Academia a lot right now. The era of "Stubborn and impulsive protagonists and the power of friendship" shounen with shows like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece never appealed to me, but lately I've been getting into the genre with the aforementioned series.

Other great anime I'd recommend are Berserk (NOT the CGI series), Baccano!, Mushi-shi, Samurai Champloo, and Cowboy Bebop.

For an almost pure comedy show... uh... Cromartie High School? That's all I got off the top of my head.

 

Edit: What a fool I've been. How could I possibly forget to mention the greatest anime of all time? Cory in the House! (old joke is old)
