I have a funny feeling this has already been a topic before so if so please don't hit me, but I thought it might be interesting.
I'm not just talking about good opening episodes that give way to a good series I mean REALLY good first episodes which stand among the best of a series even when it's over. There are plenty of series I love with only so-so first eps, so this is to document the really good'uns.
For starters I think the first episode of Trigun is really brillaint, it sets the tone of the show and is still one of my favourites in terms of its humour and action content.
I think the first episode of Death Note also does a good job of balancing telling the story with enough stuff going on to keep it interesting, something which I feel Code Geass (another similar sow and one of my favourites) does not do, it has a fantastic ending but the opening is pretty much all setting up the story with little really interesting stuff happening)
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu also has a solid starter ep, though that's less impressive considering that there's not really a continuous storyline throughout the series.
