If you're looking for something less CGDCG, take a look at Hataraki Man. It's about a woman professional working for a magazine, and includes Kazuya Nakai of Gintama fame in a key supporting role.

Gintama
|
Cromartie's "talking" segments remind me quite a bit of those in Gintama. However, I think Gintama does it better, somehow. I prefer the Cromartie manga over the anime, perhaps because I can "time" the gags better in the manga than the anime does.

D-Frag!

Theme's different, but both share a boke and tsukkomi shtick, and characters have additional background provided for "serious" depth.

Sakura Trick
|
If you liked the animation style of Sakura Trick, and are looking for a "all girls" slice of life anime, take a look at Hidamari Sketch. The director of Sakura Trick was the Assistant Director for Hidamari Sketch. Hidamari Sketch also has a yuri relationship, although it's low key, has no ecchi, and is not the center of the series.

Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life
|
Some viewers -- and reviewers -- wanted a more serious treatment of the yuri incest angle, and Koi Kaze at least does this with incest. It's a serious drama between a younger sister and older brother, so watch out for what you're wishing for.

Kaze no Youjinbou
|
While Kaze no Yojimbo lacks the intensity and dramatics of Monster, it shares the "peel back a layer" slow burn of an investigative mystery / thriller.

Tonari no Seki-kun
|
The over-the-top execution of an absurd situation is carried out the extreme in both Tonari and Gintama. The Tonari manga has better artwork.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica
|
Just as Madoka is a dark twist on the Magical Girl trope, Denpa is for a various high school anime ones. Denpa itself is only two episodes long, and the animation quality is nowhere near Madoka's. However, Denpa uses a number of directing techniques and dark, grim backgrounds that perfectly convey the darkness of the show.
