On the lighter side, K-On! (manga by Kakifly) is the archetypal "cute girls doing cute things" show, but its genius lies in its direction.

These series are not merely recommended; they are essential studies in how animation can tackle the darkest corners of the human condition. Under the hand of Naoko Yamada at Kyoto
