I think your not quite following me. Seikai-kei is a description of a particular plot type. Whether an such anime contains moe or fanservice has no relevance. Quite likely you have seen at least one story of this mold as some of the most popular anime are seikai-kei, for example Evangelion, Haruhi and Shana. Even Madoka can be considered seikai-kei although it plays with the tropes of that plot type.
