Gaim for it's interesting story and darker tones. It has quite the tonal shift in the end, but it's a great series as well.
Ryuki, for having a complex plot that is told well, along with characters that are easy to love and an interesting concept.

I want to recommend Blade, but it's weak start, terrible video quality, and sub-par subs makes it hard for newcomers to get into as a first series.

I have to agree with this list. Blade was so hard to watch, not because of the complexity, but because the subs I found were so bad, I couldn't read half of the subtitles. Decade was fun enough though- it's probably better to watch it as a newbie, so you're not too insulted.
