without a doubt Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, it seemed more like an indie film than an anime

I guess it depends on what you consider realistic when you answer. Slice of life animess, would take the prize if you mean that no powers or fantasy and science-fiction is allowed. In that case, for me, Emma: A Victorian Romance, Sakamichi no Apollon, Uchuu Kyoudai, Hikaru no Go, Kare Kano... I have bad memory, I'm sure I know more. xD

Say I love you would be a close contender, but I've never seen love at 1st sight happen personally. I know it exists, how some of my family got together, but I have never witnessed it or experienced it.

Monster is another good contender, I just think the double ganger scene was a stretch into the realm of fantasy.

Hyouka was the most realistic, personally speaking.

I'd add Hanasaku Iroha and Chihayafuru into that list.

This.

Also Kimi to Boku.

Many slice of life animes are going to be a pretty good fit for "realistic."

I don't really pay attention much to realism. The reason I tend to enjoy anime more than most other mediums has a lot to do with the idea that animation isn't trying to be real... it's trying to be ideal. In fact, I feel like most TV shows, Movies, and Art in general is at it's best when expressing ideas as purely as possible. A lot of the most ridiculously unrealistic things that happen in anime (I think) seems like a byproduct of the creators taking certain ideas to their logical extremes, and if there's one thing I think most people can agree on, it's that anime can be fucking ridiculous. That said, I can still name a few that express a nice sense of reality:

(I put them in order as best I could based on "realism")
5 Centimeters per Second
Usagi Drop
Haibane Renmei
Mushi-shi (It's interesting to me that this one makes the list, considering how surreal it can get)
Welcome to the NHK
Spice and Wolf
Chihayafuru
Sket Dance
Almost any Slice of Life show
