Angel Egg, the first film from Mamoru Oshii (who did Ghost in the Shell) is on YouTube and is well worth watching. It's slow and very religious/philosophical but I really enjoyed it. Some of the imagery even reoccurs in GitS, which kind of blew my mind when I realized it.
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

Nice. Very trippy. I had to watch at 1.5 speed, though.

Speaking of available on youtube, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is on there in 1080p and its one of the best. Straightforward vampire post apocalypse story, and the art is incredible. It's depressing to think we'll probably never get hand drawn animation like this again.
It's worth it to seek out the dubbed version. It's one of the few with good dubs.
I don't have any qualms with the visual style aside from some of the static close ups being a little plain, especially involving Motoko. But the wider environmental shots are absolutely incredible. Just bursting with detail.
