My personal favorite for flawed reasons is Madoka because I was there for the live reactions to the infamous episode and it was magical watching everyone lose their shit. It was also my re-introduction to anime after being shamed out of it for liking sailor moon as a kid.

        Such a good show. I know the chans are bad, but looking up the archive of the live discussion thread for episode 3 is always a laugh. Urabuchi perfected the bait and switch tbh.
