I personally prefer more meat-y plots and stay away from series with scenes that are cute (or stylish) for the sake of being cute (or cool).

That said, here are some of my favorites:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/13125/Shinsekai_yori (2012)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/42310/Cyberpunk__Edgerunners (2022)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/23283/Zankyou_no_Terror (2014)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/2581/Kidou_Senshi_Gundam_00 (2007)

https://myanimelist.net/anime/50709/Lycoris_Recoil (2022)

Also an honorable mention for Pantheon. It's a western animation but season 2's finale was basically one of greg egan's books come to life.
