My favorite recent ones:

Nanatsu no Taizai
Aldnoah.Zero
Akatsuki no Yona (Started out sort of average and then got more and more epic for me)
Death Parade (an anime for the feels, not some gore fest as I thought it might be based on the title)
Kiseijuu (not full title, involves parasites secretly taking over mankind...well...on a small scale at least)
Samurai Champloo (not a recent anime but recent for me)

Then of course some that other people have already mentioned.
