I cannot say this is a classic anime TV-Series, but its one which had me glued to me seat through two season and an OVA. I normally class everything using simple classifications, A: I can re-watch it and enjoy every minute. B: I can watch it and love it, but on a re-watch it's a struggle. C: I can get to the end in the first watch, but it's a struggle and D: I cannot complete a first watch. This sits at the lowest rank of A. The main pull is the mystery, why is Hei so different from the other contractors is the main mystery as well as what has happened to the earth and what is the Syndicate. Some of the other characters are excellent as well, the November 11 and April characters are great and I really felt for them. Misaki Kirihara is good as well and you really hope she becomes Hei's friend, if not lover. Finally Yin and Mao are excellent as well, with Mao providing the comic relief. This is no Ghost in the Shell, buts its reasonably close. I would most certainly advise anyone to watch it. Note, while the description seems silly, this is anyone but. This is an adult anime with adult themes, but nothing too gross, so all the family can enjoy it.
