Mostly because it's old, but: Hikaru No Go
It was the anime that solidified the fact that you can make Anime about _anything_ really compelling to watch.

#35People do talk about it, but not enough - Hunter x Hunter. While the 2011 version is longer, the 1999 has some really great moments
My friend bullied me into watching the 2011 anime and I grumbled about it being for kids for the first four seasons, while admitting it has its moments and some cool characters. Was not prepared for the total horrorshow that is season 5.
2011 style is quite kiddy. Comparing 1999 and 2011 is like a study of pre and post "moe" styles of anime. 1999 feels a lot less juvenile IMO. Although I did watch it when I was barely a teenager...

#40Haven't watched much of anime, and haven't watched any for more than a decade. But back then I had huge impression from Azumanga Daioh. Nothing special in plot, just a year in the life of a few schoolgirls. But such lively and unique personages, I remember I had lump in the throat when I watched the last episode, as if I was saying farewell to close friends that I will not ever see again.
