I mean... I'll throw Fullmetal Alchemist into the ring. I think some might say it's not sci-fi because it's not remotely possible in our world, but I think that the world-building has a distinct sci-fi flavor to it.

I wouldn't personally consider it sci-fi, but I am not going to besmirch you for that opinion. I certainly see how it has similar vibes and draws inspiration from science at points. Along the same vein, I consider many episodes of Kino's Journey to be sci-fi. Being an anthology series means that it can have completely different genres episode to episode. So, calling it a sci-fi series might be too far for some people.
