An anime with a solid plot, good characters, good character development, great animation, etc. Basically, an all-rounder. I've already watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. What are some others?

It's one of many very sad instances where a visionary creative had a cool story they wanted to tell, and then after they finished and left the studio stepped in and said "Okay, now how much more can we wring out of it!"

On the upside, the first season serves a full, complete perfect story, with nothing further that needed to be added. Also, not all of the additional stuff sucks. Production IG brought Gen back to write the movie, and it was OK.

Bonus material. I just think of S2 as an OVA
