Code Geass, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Psycho-Pass and Monster are some of the best anime ever made. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Kill La Kill, Steins;Gate and Death Parade are exceptional anime. Assassination Classroom, Fairy Tail, Ace of the Diamond, Shokugeki no Souma, Soul Eater are great anime.
Cowboy Bebop and Rurouni Kenshin are classics. All these are from must-watch, to highly recommended anime. The Seven Deadly Sins and Samurai Champloo are also recommended.
Btooom! Gintama and Sword Art Online are to be avoided. They are either sub-par, repetitive comedy that gets tiresome fast or outright atrocious.
The rest of the anime in your list are good, but not particularly much to talk about. Also, Yu Yu Hakusho, Black Jack, Sengoku Basara and Kingdom are anime I haven't watched, so I can't say much about them, but the first two are on my to-watch list. Black Jack I am particularly interested in watching, especially after having watched the recent series, Young Black Jack.
The other two aren't on my list.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
