Everything on that list has a decent plot with the exception of Ranma 1/2 which i meant to be episodic comedy anyway.

You could also avoid Ai Yori Aoishi since the story is pretty standard harem fare. I personally think it's a pretty decent series despite being generic.

Nagasarete Airantou is probably another one to avoid since it's a pretty similar style to stuff like Ranma and To Love Ru.
