HiDive appears to have some Patlabor stuff. I'm not sure what, exactly, though.

The first two Patlabor movies were directed by Mamoru Oshii, who also directed Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer and Ghost in the Shell. So those are probably worth watching for you

Oh, and what a great job you did! some of these are super familiar and have made a tremendous impact on me—
GitS
,
Perfect Blue
—some I really enjoyed when I saw them—
Tatami Galaxy
—some I have heard of but never seen more than an episode of, much to my great shame—
Martian Successor Nadesico
. Thank you so much for suggesting all these, I'm absolutely going to dive in and look up some of the less familiar ones in an attempt to stir my heart into life again.
I'm glad I was able to help! It seems like we have pretty similar tastes in anime overall, so I basically just spewed out a bunch of stuff that I like or intend to watch. Now I'm curious which ones you've seen and which ones you haven't.

I remember being really impressed with
Madoka
when I saw it, but I've always held it at arms length for some reason, mostly because I worry about what deconstructing magical girl stories means for the wider acceptance of the genre, but I could certainly do with revisiting that, and also—
This is the perfect time to as well, since they just announced a new canon film.

MY. GOSH. I just finished reading volume #9 of the comic this weekend, and I swear nothing released in the last few years has hit me like
Made in Abyss
. I've been buying these books pretty much as soon as they are released and I finished watching the short series over Christmas last year, and... I have so, so many feelings about the beauty and horror of this work, it is just so, so very
visceral
.
It's so lovely to have a chance to talk to someone else who knows the series, because no one in the world seems to want to talk to me about this... possibly because I scare them with my enthusiasm, hahah.
To be quite honest, I was overall unimpressed with the series. I thought the initial setup was decent, but was a tad bored until the last 3-ish episodes. The ending of the first season hit me like a sledgehammer, though, and sent me into an existential crisis for a few days. But when I think of it, all I can remember is trudging through the first 9-10 episodes.
It seems like the series only covers the first 4-ish volumes of the manga. I take it that the series continues to get better as it goes on?

Tekkeon Kinkreet
Ping Pong: The Animation
Silent Mobius
Wolf's Rain
I second all of these suggestions. I just finished Bubblegum Crisis a few months ago, it was incredible. Easily in my top 20, probably even my top 10.
