What is THE quintessential KyoAni show? The one where you watch it and you say, "this is what I think of when I think of KyoAni"?
What is THE quintessential KyoAni show? The one where you watch it and you say...
K-On.
Shittiest studio.
Gainax, Madhouse and all the other at-one-point-great studios had magic.
KyoAnus have filters.
Haruhi
Haruhi, but kyoanifags don't want to admit it since it hurts their ego because it's by Yamakan.
kanon
Hyouka
K-On.
Chuunibyou
2007 > 2003 > 2011 > 2017 > shit > rest
in both quality and looks
k-on
KEION
Haruhi and Hyouka are the only ones I'd consider actually good from what I've watched.
K-On. Nichijou always struck me as the most un-KyoAni series of the bunch for some reason.
K-ON, obviously.
Fumoffu.
Who the fuck thought the 2005,6 and 7 styles were good?
Products of the time. In a few years, 2016-2019 will replace those years for newfags.
Those are KEYs design and I found them ugly even back when I first watched it.

Obviously
Kanon or Clannad
If I had to pick only one. Without a doubt haruhi. I don't actually like kyoani now but I don't think they make bad shows
2006.
Unpopular opinion, but A Silent Voice is kind of the culmination of everything good about KyoAni. The animators have always had really good attention to detail but now giving them the budget for a movie they managed to make something fantastic that’s ONLY possible in an anime movie. It’s absolutely stunning and I’ve found myself rewatching it frame by frame at times so I can appreciate all the subtle details. It’s an anime I saw without knowing the studio behind it at first and still thought “this was definitely made by KyoAni.”
Otherwise, obviously Haruhi or K-on. I mean, every show they made before that kinda looked like ass after all

Haruhi, K-On, and Hyouka are all marks of the changes in KyoAni's style over the years.
Haruhi movie and Hyouka are way better directed.
