I know how you feel. I like anime as a thing, still, and it's easy for me to find and allows me to listen to Japanese, but it's been a while since I've really been impressed by anything. Then again, anime is popular media, and there's been a huge inflation of the number of series coming out in recent years, and more stuff that just panders to the audience.
Your gripes are in many ways my gripes - I can't stand fanservice, and a lot of the tropes grate. Part of it is that a lot of anime really is juvenile.
If you are interested in recs, A few years ago the Akatsuki no Yona anime came out, and it was great. The plot is quite decent, and has some surprising twists, the characters are all adorable, and no trashy fanservice.
Ore Monogatari!! is a really cute romance series that actually treats the characters' relationship in a surprisingly mature way. Also there, no cheap fanservice - and the series actually deals with sexuality. Not creepy perving, but the way the characters' deal with actual sexual desire as teenagers. It was pretty well done.

The current season has Boku no Hero Academia, which is a standard shounen done well. It has good style and character development, though I admit it's weak on the female characters front.

Boku no Hero Academia is the first shounen I've watched in years where I actually like the female lead. The last time before that was probably Bleach back when it was still good.

Oh, I do like her! I think she's adorable, but in a more "real" way than a lot of shows do. She feels like an actual person, and I like that.
But it would be nice if she had more moments to shine on her own. She's only barely above the rest of the secondaries, in terms of narrative attention.

Ore Monogatari!! is great. It actually reminds me of Ouran High School Host Club a bit - it's not quite as over the top, and their are fewer jokes, but it's a series that takes the standard shoujo romance tropes and turns them on their head in a really amusing and endearing way.
