I'll recommend Revue Starlight for mine. It's about a group of theater girls who take part in an underground theater fight club run by a mysterious talking giraffe. It has fantastic music and fight scenes, great story and writing, it's only 12 episodes and a sequel movie so it's not a super long time investment, and it's an original anime (AKA not an adaptation of a manga or light novel) so it won't end with a "fuck you go read the source material" tease at the end. Both the TV anime and the sequel movie are available for streaming on HiDive.

I also second the other mentions of Outlaw Star, Madoka Magica, and Symphogear.
