Zankyou no Terror has a very strong start, and it doesn't stop until the series is over.

Is this some kind of sinister plot to make everyone a fujoshi?

Paranoia Agent (Mousou Dairinin) has a good start. It drops off a bit toward the end but it's still worth a watch.

Joker Game had really 2 strong episodes... I wonder if they are enough to make you watch it (as it's totally changed in the next episodes).

Durara (episode 1 is boring at the end of it it starts to be interesing)

No show has hooked me for a 26 episode trek more masterfully than Kill la Kill
https://myanimelist.net/anime/18679/Kill_la_Kill
not only that but it's a show that when it seems things are starting to get dull it just hooks you right back in with something else. It's not a perfect show by any means but it is a gripping ride the entire way through and a personal favorite of mine

This is so funny because Banana fish was originally recommended to me by guys, not girls.

It's only when I started the series that I found out that it's about drugs, lol.

I'd argue that if you like something a bit longer, Yu Yu Hakusho has a great start. Hunter x Hunter 2011 also started strong. So much so that I marathoned the first 36 episodes in a single sitting.

Others with a great start are Re:Zero, Baccano, Princess Tutu, Gurren Lagann, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Angel Beats.

Ah! If you want an underappreciated gem, may I recommend Konjiki no Gash Bell. Specifically the Japanese version, as the dub is trash.
