Well, Spirited Away, and all others of its type... though i'm pretty sure shonen anime would never be the same ^_^

You'd retain most shoujo anime, though. In other words, you'd wipe out a genre that's built specifically to cater to the people that like the things mentioned. A bit like taking all the guns, fast cars, gadgets, and girls out of the Bond movies (and other action films).

And I forgot one last thing,

Fanservice and nudity

That would leave out

All of tenchi
Cowboy bebop
Trigun
Hellsing
Macross
Gundam
Evangelion
Ranma
Scryed
Full Metal Panic
Cool Devices
Sailor Moon
DBZ
Metropolis
Spriggan
FLCL
Bio Hunter
Ghost in the Shell
Twilight of the Dark Master
Birdy The mighty
Shadow skill

And these are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head!

*sigh* Yes, yes. We know how many anime have fan service/nudity ~_~;;

So you're saying "What would you have left of anime if you took out everything most shonen anime is designed specifically for". Again, my answer: You'd have shoujo anime, and things like Spirited Away, which are not designed specifically to make teenage boys' pants tent/go "ooh, ahh" (special effects/fight scenes).

What's been said... also, there are stereotypes out there, and...? Of course there are. There are also several series/movies that DON'T adhere to stereotype.

since when did fanservice not refer to bishonen.
