I like both, but I prefer the 1999 version. It looks more realistic and had a good soundtrack too.. I also love the 1999 character design. The 2011 has a better animation though.

Although many people say that the 2011 is better because it's closer to the manga, as we know, anime is not manga, so some difference or plot change or fillers is usually acceptable on the anime version (as long it doesn't change the entire story).
