A great start to the best arc of the Fate/Stay Night series. A masterful feat of animation.
Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel I. Presage Flower
Fate/Zero
A gripping, gritty modern fantasy with fascinating psychological and historical elements.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion
An eerie finish (?) to the Madoka series that keeps the curveballs coming. Inu Curry's unsettling abstract animation is back and Yuki Kajiura's soundtrack is phenomenal, but the story can be tricky to follow.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Do you ever have those shows or games that you go through and they just stick with you for like, months? This is one of those.
NOIR
Definitely a product of early 2000s anime. Tries to be deep, dark, philosophical, and does a decent job. Action gets bland, but if you feel like taking on a slow burn mystery that doesn't require too much attention, it's decent. Music is stellar.

While it is perhaps the seminal "trapped in a game" isekai, the pacing of this was so painfully slow. While the soundtrack is a masterpiece by Yuki Kajiura, it's used so awkwardly and repetitively that it doesn't do it justice. Skip this one.
