Probably Domestic na Kanojo. The show might not be the best but that first episode is something.
And Sword Art Online had a pretty good first.

Attack on Titan - God-like hook with a superb OST to go along with it.

The Promised Neverland - The reveal was exceptionally done, and the sudden turn from a gentle, feel-good slice of life anime into a full-on horror/thriller ensured I binged the rest of the series in one visit.

Promised Neverland EZ. Went into it not knowing a single thing about it besides that it was highly rated, was not disappointed.

I'd say my two favorites are Attack On Titan's first episode and Your Lie in April's first episode.

Oshi no Ko, the 1st episode is like a top-notch movie.
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Very difficult to choose one. Maybe Gochiusa. It's just so cute and wholesome. :3

Probably The Aquatope on White Sand / Shiroi Suna no Aquatope. It's such a whimsical, warm episode, especially with setting up Fuuka's character and how she ended up at the aquarium. I still remember how I was blown away by the aquarium scene, it was so beautiful.

It's very hard to compare the experiences of watching an anime for the first time. I feel like I'm biased towards the recend years and the ones where I had to wait a week for the next episode, because I can remember them more clearly.
