Saw a comment on the Journal with Witch episode discussion to this effect… what other anime had that effect on you?

For me, as soon as I watched the OP of Girls und Panzer: Das Finale Part 4, I know I’m in to something great. Everything about it was an elevated experience from the past entries. Same with Rose of Versailles (2025) (OP) and The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity (teaser visual and from awareness of staff and studio)

    Late response, but I thought about this question for a (long) while…

    And I eventually settled on Suzumiya Haruhi.
    Whilst not really one of my favourite anime any longer, it really appealed to a teenager profoundly bored with modernity.

    Edit: Oh and Toradora! perhaps, I should really rewatch that.
