Only anime because of too little experience yet:
+1 for Akatsuki no Yona
Rose of Versailles
Chihayafuru from your PTW list
Nana
Nodame Cantabile
Seirei no Moribito (also the jdrama live action (2016) if you like the setting or you liked the anime, it's great).
Haibane Renmei in your on-hold (quite unique)
Natsume Yuujinchou
Skip Beat
Kemono no Souja Erin (this may look like something for small children, but it's really not. It soon turns into something that's neither harmless, nor extremely light, nor simple, but quite amazing)
Of course it depends on your taste. Those are some titles I quickly found you haven't seen yet, which I'd think are special or "great" (8+) and very well made.
