Seriously though, in a post-modern world where all stories have been done before it is always about the "execution". Even bland can be great is you add the right emphasis (or enough boobs, depending on the audience).

As for series that do this well: Princess Nine, Madoka, Kokoro Connect, Ano Hana, and I'm sure quite a few others...
I disagree. Some stories have more original (or at least distinctive) premises than others. Madoka Magica, for example, is much more distinctive than your generic harem show, which is why I strongly object to you listing it as you have.

Execution is important, but it's not the only thing that matters.
