What the title says. It can be your favorite or just something you think carried a lot of weight. This could be a fight scene, but consider what thematic weight the scene carries rather than how cool it looked or how well animated it is.

Obviously spoilers ahead.

Personally, I think its in Clannad episode 18.


The reason I came up with this thread is a rewatch of 3-gatsu no lion. Scene is definitely in episode 4 of season 2 (episode 26 total) but it was too good to choose 1, so I have two scenes, one that immediately follows another.



I could make a list of these (hence the thread) but I'll end it on A place further than the universe.



I don't want to make this a blog, so I'll stop here. Feel free to list a bunch of the best single scenes in anime and please provide a description on what makes it amazing!

Edit: I think the 3-gatsu scene was episode 26, episode 4 of season 2 not episode 3.

I couldn't possibly narrow it down to a single best scene. I'd need categories, and even then I'd have a lot of contenders.

...actually, I'm going to come back to this after thinking up some categories and coming up with a shortlist, but off the top of my head here's what I might be considering:

Fight Scene
Sweet Feels
Horror
Funniest
'Oh Shit' Moment
Animation
Musical Number
Big Twist
Little Detail

More details to come when I've had a think, but that might be some of the categories.

Well, I said it could be anything, but if you are asking specifically about what I would consider a good scene, I place a lot of value in thematic importance. I think a good scene can convey a lot of information and say a lot about the author's message. You probably wouldn't care, but I could write essays on why certain scenes contribute to theme, like how a certain director or certain details exemplify themes. It's like In Yamada Naoko's A Silent Voice, Yamada utilizes the climactic moment, Ishida uncovering his ears, to exemplify how self acceptance is necessary before the forgiveness of others. I'm a literature guy so it matters to me.

I'm not going to say that that definitely is the best scene in all of anime, that's some steep competition, but it's the scene that most sticks out to me out of any show I watch and I'm pretty sure I've watched video clips of that scene more times than I care to admit.

The scenes that come to mind are:

Rock Lee taking off his weights. I guess because of how epic it was, I'm not sure but it always pumps me up.

Emotional scenes that make me tear up are scenes like Goku reuniting with Grandpa Gohan, or Naruto meeting Minato.

I have heaps of scenes but they're all just personal favourites. I have no idea what the actual best scene in anime is. But I guess it will always be different for each person.

This is definitely not my all time favorite scene, but it has stuck with me a long time and was the first thing that came to mind.

In original naruto when:


That was literally the first time I had cried in years, having spent the past several years trying to learn to mask my emotions. That’s also why naruto will forever be my favorite anime, for better or worse, it opened me back up to being emotional.

I never cared for confessions in anime. Maybe it's because I can't take romance seriously when I've never experienced it, or maybe it's because it takes damn forever to get to the confession.

Back when I was a fan of Re: Zero, I'd probably agree with you, but my opinion on that episode has changed: now I think it's just too hammy and in-your-face.

Before, there were emotional scenes in anime that hit me. But for some reason, I don't care about emotional scenes anymore.

Idk I don't think experience necessarily plays a big role with liking the genre, especially since anime romance is pretty idealized at times. And true confession's usually take forever to come around (if they actually end up happening) but if the buildup is good then it kinda becomes worth it in the end

Then I guess maybe it's because I just can't take the idea of a buildup to a confession seriously. I mean, whenever I had a crush on a girl, I'd just tell her outright. I don't think confessing your feelings to someone is something that's supposed to take a lot of courage.

Many scenes from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya are amazing so it's hard to choose one. But the scene with Kyon and Yuki on the roof is really beautiful.



Also the scene in the last few minutes of Higurashi when they finally make it to the first of July T_T



Those're just two highlights for me, i could go on forever with some of the best scenes in anime.

I just finished rewatching (for the 100the time at least) the scene from Hunter X Hunter 2011 where Gon and Killua are following Nobunaga and Machi from the Phantom Troupe. When they are noticed they immediately in a split second completely out of instinct and pure fear and realization they jump to run away and get away as soon as possible. They both at the same time realize how much of a towering force above them the two Phantom Troop members have. What I truly truly truly truly love about the scene is how they show this without saying a word to explain it. And it's so clearly shown and is immediately understood by anyone who has seen it. In many other shows the characters would probably think it or say we have to run or for the really terrible anime that I've seen explain exactly what happened so the view would understand even tho it is obvious. I wanted to ask this forum post because this scene has been on my mind a lot as of late and I have watched this scene specifically alot, and when I say alot I mean alot of times.

So I wanted to know what scenes like this not a full episode but moments that just seem so brilliant and inspired that you cannot stop watching it have so much love and appreciation for.

Please tell me some and if you have not watched Hunter X Hunter please do. And even if you haven't or if you have seen it please watch this scene again. Although it is so minor and not a super gigantic bombastic moment I just love everything about how that small like 10 seconds was executed. Also I could probably go into how great the scene after was but my main focus is the fear that was shown and how they reacted to try to get away.

The best scene based on straight facts has to be that scene from Black Lagoon where one of the twins takes their panties off in front of Rock and then Rock runs off crying like a little bitch. So many factors are involved in the true genius of the scene, Which twin was in the ship and which one was killed, the girl pretending to be a guy or the guy pretending to be a girl? Why did Rock run off like a pussy, was it the shock of seeing a peepee on a girl or the shock of seeing underage pussy? We will never know

One of my absolute favourites is probably in Whisper of the Heart, where the main characters and the elderly supporting cast come together to spontaneously sing Country Roads. I couldn't find it anywhere on YouTube but it's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Here's a few others I really like as well.



In general, my favourite scenes in anything are just ones of characters being happy about stuff or going about their day, even better if it's about music in some way.

Just the whole atmosphere and situation along with the lack of background instrumental made it pretty damn impactful
