Maybe there is some anime out there that I might like, but I am tired of picking through all the **** to get to something halfway decent.

Same can be said about a lot of newer movies and tv shows. Most are trash, and you have to wade through them in order to find newer programs that you can enjoy. It amazes me how the studios and networks can choose to air bad shows on a continuing but short lived basis. I guess the might have the bad pasta strategy of choosing new programs. Lets throw it all against, the wall, and see what sticks. The shows that stay there the longest will get to stay on the next season.
Anime in Japan, just like regular programing here in the States and elsewhere, is partially quality, partially quantity. None of it is designed to appeal to everyone, and some are specifically designed for nitch markets. So if you like the art style but a particular series that you see isn't your cup of tea, than please don't let that dissuade you from continuing to look for a show that you might like.

I gotta give the Japanese credit for being original ,but girls with propellors for legs aren't really my cup of tea. What I intended to say was that I like the idea of using personified abstract concepts as an artistic device.

May I suggest than
Zipang. A story of a JMSDF that does a "Final Countdown", where the modern day crew faces the Imperial Japan that was. It's interesting how the crew interacts with their older counterparts, how their world views are different, and goals are different as well.
It's definitely not as Japanese Right Wing as
The Silent Service, which met with some controversy.
