All of my 10s that you haven't seen, excluding sequels and shows you have no chance of enjoying:
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (objectively the greatest anime ever made) Gunbuster and Diebuster Mononoke (series) Hajime no Ippo and New Challenger Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen (seriously if you liked Kenshin how have you not seen the single best part of the franchise?) Summer Wars

I've looked over your list and your to watch section and most of it is stuff I'd probably recommend to someone who is looking to build a good base in anime. But if you want more stuff...
Stuff you should like.
One Outs (If you liked shows like Death Note you'll like this.) Great Teacher Onizuka (I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this already) Steins;Gate (It takes a few episodes for it to really click you're watching something amazing, but it's worth it.) Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (I'm not really big on Gundam, but if you're going to watch just one, a lot of people say it should be this one) Berserk (While the Manga is much more fleshed out the anime is great too.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Can get a little weird but at times, but is very enjoyable to anyone not squeamish.)
Stuff I like that you might or might not like.
Lucky Star (Has a lot of references to other anime. If anything I'd recommend watching Haruhi Suzumiya first.) Escaflowne (In terms of world and character building this series leaves nothing. It has a little bit of something for everyone.) K-On! (If you're going to watch something from the moe wave, watch this. I didn't really know how much I liked it until I was in a bad anime season and an OVA aired and I realized just how much better it was than the stuff airing that season.) Madoka Magica (Dark story line, amazing music, and fantastic art work.) Nana (On the melodramatic side, but it has some of the best character development in an anime) Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (Like all the episodes involve some sorta cross dressing joke. The jokes do get overused a lot, but somehow they manage to stay fresh and hilarious) Dai Mahou Touge )
I'll also add a recommendation for Shinryaku! Ika Musume which is a pretty hilarious comedy from last year (or maybe early this year). I believe it's getting a dub soon but I'm not sure of that status/quality on that. The sequel has been pretty underwhelming but the original is still one of the funniest series that I've seen. It's about a squid girl who gets fed up with humans carelessly polluting the oceans and comes to the surface world to conquer all of humanity. . . to little success.

Nah. IMO S2 has had better segments then S1... but also a lot of ones that were not quite as good. Overall I'd say S2 is probably a 8/10 and S1 is a 9. S2 is still good though.
And Penguindrum is amazing. I didn't even know it was airing at first and had no idea what it was about, and then around 2/3 through episode one I knew I was watching something great.
