To me lewdness implies an intent to just arouse or shock, whereas Yuri Kuma uses bouncing anime breasts and girls pouring honey on their naked bodies as a thematic device (which has come up surprisingly often lately). But I get that that's an insane distinction to make, so in retrospect, maybe don't watch it. Or maybe still do and just quit if it gets to be too much for you, since it isn't that much of the show. But yeah, it is still obviously titillating even if there's an ulterior motive for it.

CenturyEgg:
Gakkou gurashi is really good for visual storytelling and features some cute characters. I reccomend rewatching it once you are done to see all the visual cues dropped in by the animation team.

dosboot:
Death Note and Ghost in the Shell: SAC are two big favorites of mine that I'd recommend to any newcomer. These are the closest ones I could think that are story driven. Maybe Gungrave would qualify too, another one I really like. I'm not sure what qualifies as story driven or not, some examples would be helpful of what you want or maybe don't want. I usually think in terms of action vs comedy vs drama, the setting or main activity and finally the type of cast (especially, e.g., traditional anime teenage characters vs not).

Do you want something with cute characters or were you just reinforcing why you didn't want fanservice? If you want cute, there's lots of stuff to like but I tend to assume newcomers to anime aren't interested.

DNAbc:
Please

Idolm@ster rocks everything you needed, animation, story driven and cute but without lewd stuff.

The last arc can get pretty damn depressing thougj

Kasu:
It took this thread to make me realize that I haven't watched a lot of stuff that's both cute and story-driven. ;>;

If you're ever looking for a good comedy, slice of life anime though I would recommend Nichijou, Acchi Kocchi, and Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

Also, I'm not sure if it counts as cute or not, but I thought that Classroom☆Crisis had a pretty good story.
