Gundam 00. It’s the show that got me into anime in proper. Before then I was already playing games from Japan like Pokemon, Megaman, etc. and getting off to related lolis (Mayl from EXE <3). But 00 was the first show I got into without any extrinsic motivators, and it’s been my anchor show that every other show I’ve since watched compares to, at least to some subconscious degree.
So while I don’t think it’s objectively outstanding within the franchise, let alone the entirety of anime, I love it to pieces. It just checks all my checkboxes because it made most of them in the first place. ^_^;;
