I read the summaries on Chiko, Baccano!, Kure-nai and the Slayers anime. Nothing really stood out.
Kurenai is filled with ambiguous dialogs, so it's not everyone's taste. To me, it's all about Murasaki, she's like the most adorable child character I've seen for a long time. As a whole, Kurenai is a genre mix, so even some watchable fight-scenes are part of the experience.
And Chiko...well it looks like genre mix is "in", so you have some thief theme, some post world war theme (searching for the ultimate weapon built during world war), some detective theme etc.
All these themes are packed in some of the best visuals filled with sometimes excellent animation and a few epic moment. I wish I could make some gifs, especially when Chiko fights and slides with a fucking broom (episode 15).
Chiko in Mission Impossible.
