I want to add my own as well. It seems the most manga for women in mind or generally josei series when adapted to anime appeal to just about everybody else. The biggest and most recent example would be Usagi Drop. It has the most universal appeal because of its strong family values and problems that are very relevant. I think this one could appeal to all age group like Ghibli Movies because it's presented in rather matter of fact manner.

Another one I'm thinking of is K-on. I thought it was obvious that it would appeal to hardcore otaku with the constant pandering fanservice but I hear, it's rather popular among girls. I guess they don't mind the pointless fluff.
