like always One Piece won't be included.
Hope you like the list

Basically I go throw the Company page on mal and I look by each top score anime of each animation studio. My only two rule is that it actually has to be animated by them and not produced so I wont be counting attack on titan for production ig for example and no hantai (because than this list would only be available for hantai list)

Good direction doesn’t just mean action sakuga. It means everything, camera angles, soundtrack and dialogue choices, art style, etc etc and more.

Here’s a stack of anime that check most of these boxes.
