Absolute favorites are (in no particular order):

Star Trek: The Next Generation (science fiction)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine until the Dominion War (science fiction)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (comedy scifi)
Merlin (fantasy)
Atlantis (fantasy)
Castlevania season 1 (fantasy)
The Mighty Boosh (comedy fantasy)
Breaking Bad (drama)
Fargo: Season 1 (drama)
King of the Hill (comedy)
Archer until the most recent season (comedy)
American Dad until the last two seasons (comedy)

Only really seen JoJo which was good.

try steins;gate, starts off a bit slow for first 7 or so though, but it's really fucking good. One of the first I watched and I have similar tastes to what you posted.

Death Note (mystery, crime, thriller, supernatural)
Monster (mystery, crime, thriller, drama)
Ashita no Joe (action, drama, sports)
Kaiji (psychological, thriller, game)
Outlaw Star (comedy, action, space, sci-fi)
Space Dandy (comedy, action, space, sci-fi)
Irresponsible Captain Tylor (comedy, action, space, sci-fi)
Lupin the Third Part IV + V (comedy, action, adventure)

Out of all of these I'd go with Death Note first since it has a similar feeling to Breaking Bad in that it's about a guy using a book to kill people by writing their name in it and trying to avoid being caught by a Sherlock Holmes like character and has a lot of back and forths where the MC needs to think his way out of a situation he should be caught in.

Kaiji has a similar feeling to Death Note as well (even has the same composer) but it's about a guy trying to gamble his way out of debt (and possibly death) so it involves a lot of psychological games between many characters

Monster is also similar, since it's about a man trying to stop a patient that he saved from death as a child from killing people as an adult 10 or so years later, a lot of drama and action but quite slow for the most part

Ashita no Joe is a fantastic boxing anime about a young delinquent kid learning how to box and the struggles professional boxing brings. It's quite old but very good, full of drama, action, great characters and a great story. Try not to get spoiled since this has a very well known ending

Outlaw Star, Space Dandy and Tylor are all shows set in space, the first two deal with bounty hunting and exploring worlds (with one more serious, the other comedic), the last one is more about an idiot being put in charge of a spaceship during war and getting into situations he shouldn't be in. All three are a lot of fun

Lupin is similar to Archer (but with much less sarcasm) since it's about four thieves trying to steal things while getting into more trouble along the way, great characters, action and stories
