I've not watched shows that you mentioned yet so this might be a little out of left field. But anyway here's some top anime i'd recommend:
Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Beautiful world that gets bigger and bigger, loved watching the main character train up to a crazy level of power. Your idea of that character will change over the time you're watching, the writer does a good job at putting us in the shoes of his friends who also watch him grow.
Attack on Titan
This one is if you're looking for the type of character development that you'd find in a war movie, Innocent characters learn the gruesome horrors of their life and lose their innocence. The story of the world is well built and the lore is deep. Be warned, it pretty depressive to watch, i kinda lost hope with the characters while watching it does a good job at pulling you into the characters mindset.
Others to consider (i.e. anime starter kit): My Hero Academia | Neon Genesis Evangelion | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood | Tokyo Ghoul | Sword Art Online (S1) | Does Avatar the last airbender count?
I don't think it does. I've read and forgot about why it's not an anime. But that one I watched more than 27 times. It's the best show there is, across all categories.
That sounds about right from what I heard, Personally I don't really care. Not even about anime or live action or cartoon. I just like good story telling, character development and that kind of stuff.
As much as i agree anime is Japanese made, anime sites have decided to allow Chinese and Korean anime for whatever reason. Which is unfair to avatar.
I think avatar shouldve just been grandfathered into the anime community. I believe most anime lovers would agree it is definitely an american made anime. Is that a slippery slope to other american shows being grouped in? I think not, because there are no other beloved american animes other than avatar.
