The 90s anime is only meant to cover the Golden arc and is therefore complete.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Steins;Gate are my absolute favorites. Death Note and the first
season of Darker than Black are close.
and only
It doesn't even complete the golden arc dude, it ends in a cliffhanger.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an absolute 10/10. Some of my other favorites - Macross and Gundam (original series) - have too many ups and downs to really call them 10/10, and Giant Robo is, unfortunately, not "complete".

Well DOOD it took liberties and shortened the arc down. It's still a sizeable story. It's hardly a cliffhanger. The story is still technically going on in the manga 20+ years later. It ends when Griffith and Guts die which won't happen any time soon. Therefore, the anime had a story to tell and it told it. It's complete.
PLUS, they're not continuing the 90s anime series, therefore it's complete DOOD.
That CG trash series that came out recently doesn't count as a continuation.

When did they finish that?
If you like romance and solid characters, then I recommend Clannad. After Story, especially the second half, is excellent.
Another one for me is Shirobako. Is basically five girls who are trying to make a name inside the anime industry. What really captivated me is how hard working those girls were, and despite everything that stood in their way, they still continued with their dreams of making animes.

Escaflowne is one of my favorite TV shows ever and I don't even like anime.
C'mon son, it totally ends in a cliffhanger.

Basilisk deserves special mention here. One of my favourite anime.
Give Genocyber a look as well. It's a 5 part OVA.

Death Note AND I'm counting the second season. Complaints are fucking exaggerated as hell.
Erased was fantastic and satisfying.

I'm a huge D.Gray-man fan, but if you lost interest in the manga it's veeeeery hard to get back into the series. Take it one step at a time. Maybe start with Hallow, and go back to the original anime if you forget who/what/when/where/why.
Recently rewatched Death Note. I think the second half is actually pretty great. I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ending was 100% perfect.

Death Note, not sure what this second season thing is, Netflix only has one season that end with
To be honest I cannot think of many that completed the story fully. Nearly all end with more to tell, even by the anime alone and not counting anything else.

It's not that I lost interest in it, maybe saying I simply stopped reading for no particular reason is a better way to put it, I just left it and never picked it back up, but I enjoyed it a lot, which is why I wanna watch it now
The anime ending is a bit different in execution than the manga one, I wish they had copied the manga ending 100%.

Can't believe I forgot Madoka. Definitely.
Sure if you are a pedophile
What the fuck...Glad I blacklisted that "author" after the Oreimo Ending BS
Has he used his "Im not a sick pervert I'm just showing those damn censors!" excuse again to justify this?
Cowboy Bebop
Gurren Lagann
Monster
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket
If we're talking 10/10, no reservations, those are the ones for me. I would have included FLCL, but it just got two more seasons. There are a lot that are very close for me though.
Some people saying Trigun REALLY makes me wish we'd get the FMA: Brotherhood treatment with a manga-accurate adaption... The manga is so much better. Same for Rurouni Kenshin. That series has a perfect ending in the manga.

wait fma brotherhood doesnt drag on forever? it's 64 episodes long and squanders any chance of tension or suspense before it's halfway done.

Code Geass and Chunibyou would be here too, but they're suddenly getting more despite having solid endings. Also, holding out hope for more Hyouka.

I don't know if Black Lagoon will ever continue, so I'd throw it in here as a 10/10 for me. Specifically the dubbed version. Yeah, I said it. DO NOT watch the Japanese version. It might one of the best, if not THE best anime dub ever.
Here's a pretty great example of why.

The funny thing about this is that season 1 is twice as long as season 2, even though both "seasons" cover the same amount of manga material.
I think the second half of Death Note is great, but it gets absolutely butchered in the anime because of the way they adapted it. They speed through so many things and cut so much it's not a surprise that people don't like it. The anime also completely butchers the ending, but that's another story.
