I would say that I enjoyed Paranoia Agent a great deal despite it being quite a departure from traditional anime (and televised series in general) norms. Actually, reviewing other comments on this thread, it seems that anything Satoshi Kon is involved with is a good bet...

Mindgame. By far, on of the most unique movies I've ever seen. Interesting story with equally interesting animation. Do yourself a favor and find it.

Omohide Poro Poro
Umi ga Kikoeru
Koi Kaze

These three are "realistic", i.e. there is nothing intrinsically "anime"
about them save the fact that they are animated.

Fucking seconded. I also have to mention Paranoia Agent, because I thought that too was pretty damn unique in terms of it story.

Fucking thirded for both.

Manabi Straight - School life drama, girls only, but something about the animation style and storytelling is really different. Can't quite put my finger on it...but the characterizations are somehow cliche and really different at the same time. Nice example of taking existing ideas and getting a new result...and the animation is really pretty.

Gurren Lagann - DO IT...has it's cliches, but it's pure fun.

Still have Dennou Coil on my list to begin watching soon as well.

Fullmetal Alchemist.
Neon Genisis Evangelion.

Both I thought we're unique, confusing and just kicked ass.

A Wind Named Amnesia.
Plot Summary: It happened quite suddenly, with no warning - all the memories of all the people on Earth, swept away as if by a sudden wind. In a post-catastrophic Earth populated mostly by savages without memories of their past civilisation, one man travels on a journey of enlightenment and hope, across a devastated America.
