I'm a bit of an anime newb, but liked Ranma 1/2 a lot and decided to try Maison Ikkoku. Compared to a lot of anime that I've seen, I love that the characters, relations, and story actually *evolve* in Maison Ikkoku. It's tough to go back and watch some episodic anime after this, actually.
If you do try this, definitely watch at least 5-10 episodes -- it took me that long to get hooked.
There are some seriously funny parts of this anime (Mitaka is always funny). It also has a nice daily life, city feel to it, if you're looking for that. Best way
