A few often overlooked gems.
1.) Record of Lodoss War - Classic sword and sorcery. The OVA differs quite drastically from the novels/mangas, but there's very little not to like here. The main characters are a fairly standard tabletop RPG party, with your fighter, your cleric, a thief, the token dwarf, and an elf. It's no coincidence, either; you can practically hear the dice being rolled as the party's adventure continues from episode to episode. The novels themselves were based on a 1st Edition D&D campaign.
2.) Tenchi Universe - There are a number of series in the Tenchi Muyo! multiverse at this point, but this TV series was my favorite. Fairly representative of the classic "harem comedy" genre but offers plenty of self-aware humor.
3.) Space Brothers - Nnngh, so many feels. This anime spoke to me on so many levels. It's currently on hiatus, hopefully only waiting for the manga to gain more volumes before continuing, but has all 100 episodes currently available on Crunchyroll. It's a seinen, following the story of Nanba Mutta, a recently unemployed 30-something who decides to join his younger brother in pursuing his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and landing on the moon.
