I forgot "The Sprint" from Berserk.
That always gets me.
That always gets me.
From the New World - Final episode: the scene where
Jin-Roh - The whole ending is powerful and understated in it's execution.. that fade to the credits.
Aku No Hana - A number of moments spread throughout the whole series specifically in the last several episodes. Can't really point to specifics.
Squealer is given "peace" after years upon years of suffering is immensely powerful in the context of the prior revelations of the episode.
Jin-Roh - The whole ending is powerful and understated in it's execution.. that fade to the credits.
Aku No Hana - A number of moments spread throughout the whole series specifically in the last several episodes. Can't really point to specifics.
Koalas back story in one piece is pretty sad.

Off the top of my head
Black Lagoon: Episode 24
Psycho-Pass: Episode 11, ill just use this image in the spoiler
Steins;Gate Episode 24
Special Mention to Fate/Zero Finale
Black Lagoon: Episode 24
"DON'T LOOK AT HER, ROCK! LOOK AT ME!"
There was a scientific rationale for that! Because... important memories, including, but not limited to, one's first kiss, are stored in the hippocampus, which makes them harder to forget. So I figured... (sometimes something a little more positive can be powerful)
Special Mention to Fate/Zero Finale
Saber being ordered to destroy the graile

Wolfs Rain, the death of every major character especially Cher, Toboe, Hige and Blue.
Hajime No Ippo - Basically the entire Takamura vs Bryan Hawk fight
Rurouni Kenshin - Death of the Kiyosato Akira

I should have posted a video to the Ideon scene I mentioned before, but I was on my phone - here it is, at the beginning of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfOH6oA9kSM

Another one from Death note, whenNaomi is tricked into writing her own name.
And thats basically when I gave up on that show. Finished it but despise it.
1.Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Episode 27-
http://sakuga.yshi.org/data/a0e39607a6a68f31a09621175b836197.webm
All the suffering, losses, and hard work come together into one of the best climaxes in any medium. The whole episode really gives a sense of not just the scale but the progress the characters have made.
2.Eureka Seven Episode 26-
http://sakuga.yshi.org/data/5759887e98e5ac897792ff3aea9930fe.webm
The reunion of Renton and Eureka after having been separated from a number of episodes. This scene is also made more powerful in that it shows Eureka showing initiative for the first time in the series and establishes the relationship going forward between the two. It's a homage done to the original Macross series but it's done so well that I feel it surpasses the original.
3.G Gundam-45 (Domon's final duel with Master Asia)
The School of the Undefeated of the East!
The Winds of the King!
Zenshin!
Keiretsu!
Tenpa kyoran!
Look, the East is Burning Red!
Mecha shows are the fucking master of this.

HxH: Episode 111
Never been so hyped after an episode as an anime only watcher at the time. So many different scenarios and battle possibilities were flying through my head. It was kind of like God coming down from the heavens to face the ultimate evil.
Hype levels were at maximum for the whole week and 112 only maintained the hype. Jeezus
Palace invasion by the Hunters..... more specifically Netero and Zeno.

And to think during that 24 minutes of hype.... only 5 seconds had passed. lol

Some good picks in here. Don't want to repeat anything so I'll choose this scene from Chihayafuru
After trying and failing many times to get promoted in tournament ranking, Taichi's sensei offers to make an exception and promote him. Taichi refuses and wants to do it himself.

Rurouni kenshin seishounen is very depressing to watch , but the final moments when Kaoru calls him Shinta is just heartbreaking

Man, what a moment
That's what I said. "But this" as in, "except this."

Both Ghost in the Shell movie intros get me everytime! That song is amazing synced up with the animation.
I thought I repressed thisNo WMT examples yet? Too old and niche I guess. Dog of Flanders may be the most well known one. The scene was even parodied in Pokemon:
I won't spoil the thing itself since it's from the ending.

Every single Straw Hat crew's tragic backstory from One Piece. The one's that were pretty heavy for me were:
Chopper -

Brook -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dHBBbZ-wXs
Nami -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkgy-3gScWY
Chopper -
Chopper's relationship with Dr. Hiriluk that mirrored a father and son relationship. His speech he gives before he dies was tear jerking.
Brook -
Brook and the Rumbar pirates singing one last song before they slowly die from poison.
Nami -
The death of Nami's adoptive mother, Bellemere.

Actually it was a Betamax tape.

I've only watched the whole series through once, and at the time that moment made me feel uncomfortable because it feels like Hachimaki's personality changed completely and he wasn't the same character. Kind of like what happens to Light in Death Note, the character's personality changes to such an extent it just feels sad and cold after that.
However I really need to rewatch it as I think I'd appreciate the details a whole lot more at my age now.
I know for sure that (manga spoilers)

Some key anime moments I can name from the top of my head, only thinking of popular big name ones for now unfortunately:
Full Metal Alchemist:
Fuck this one still gets me all emotional
Code Geass:
Inuyasha:
Wolf Children: "The Decision"
Gundam 00:
Gundam Wing:
Gundam Seed:
One Piece:
Pokemon: Charizard being left at that Charizard only place. Huge moment in PKMN. As well as Pidgeot. Ash you better go get Pidgeot back one of these days you fucker.
Full Metal Alchemist:
Hughe's death
Code Geass:
Shirley's death
Kikyo's death final act
Gundam 00:
Lockon's death as well as other crew death scenes.
Heero Yuy threatening Relena.
Ray Le Cruseat speech on humanity. Powerful stuff at the time.
Ace's death
Sadly the comparisons make people not watch it :/

The shit-kicking that follows is nothing short of amazing.
A few people are saying Gurren Lagann's last episode was powerful. While I agree, I felt episode 11 had a very powerful moment.
Simon, emotional about losing Kamina, breaks out of his funk and saves Team Dai-Gurren.
- Domon confessing to Rain at last in G Gundam
- Ashitaka intervening in San's fight with Eboshi in Princess Mononoke as his curse continues to slowly kill him.
- Ending of Turn A Gundam that's ostensibly a happy ending but it's bitter as all hell for Sochie.
- Kenshin learning the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki from his Master and all the drama that entailed there.
- Lal'c finally living up to Nono's ideal in Diebuster.
- Lead up to the Stoner Sunshine in Getter Robo Armageddon that was a moment so cathartic the rest of the show didn't matter.
and heck, I'll throw in Gai vs Mamoru in GaoGaiGar Final for all that raw emotion that was better than the show deserved.
Absolutely. Okiura's ability to capture human emotion in facial animation is incredible.
Gladly seconding this. And I don't think this scene would be the same without Kenji Kawai's sound. In terms of atmosphere, this is absolute perfection.
One Piece - Luffy punches Celestial Dragon in the face
Because when a punch is animated that well and looks that satisfying, I just want to start watching cartoons.
Usually when I see these gifs or stumble upon these clips on youtube, I pop in a DBZ or One Piece DVD.
as far as im concerned this is the best punch in any anime.
Such a shame... :/ Speaking of which I'm due for a rewatch, same with the movie.
