Aizen's betrayal is #1 for me, what he did was such a massive "fuck you" to everyone.

The twist in Mayoi Snail was perfect, mainly because of how perfectly written the dialogue between Koyomi and Hitagi was.

Well Shin Sekai Yori had quite a tweest at the ending, shame that the episodes before that were confusing and boring.

Also this:

I literally just finished this arc before finding this forum, and I completely agree with you. The dialogue was really amazing, and combined with the clever visual framing it made this twist really memorable.

I have to agree here. Aizen's plot twist in Bleach is still one of my favourites, and the reason why I consider the Soul Society Arc to be so great.

Madoka episode 3 (obviously)
Gakkou Gurashi episode 1
Rakugo Shinjuu Descending Stories recontextualizing the entire first season
Your Lie in April's reveal of what the lie is
Shinsekai Yori's final reveal about the Monster Rats
Gurren Lagann episode 8

These are off the top of my head, but there is probably plenty more that I just didn't think of yet.

The reveal of true way that Sybil system works in Psycho Pass .
The reveal of Ergo Proxy and later proxy one whole plan.
Half of End Of Evangelion.
Steins Gate when certain someone explained alternate future traitor.

The sickest early twist is probably the whole we are doomed whatever we do in Bokurano as well as Dung Bettles late confession about him and universe.

KareKano.

Characters can actually fall in love within the first four episodes.

:D

But seriously, the "42" scene from Log Horizon. It's not technically a plot twist but a reveal, or rather a heart twist.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Basically TTGL where every mystery leads to even bigger mystery - it's full of reveals and twists you totally don't expect and it manages to catch the viewer off-guard all the time.

And I lol'd so hard that reveal in SnK happened, I knew
all along but I didn't expected them to announce it so casually, oh god

This. Absolutely this.

While I wasn't a huge fan of the twist about the
at the end of Utena, it had several moderate twists throughout the series that were real mind-blowers, especially the ones at the end of the 2nd arc.

The last 13 episodes or so of FMA2003 had a lot of shocking reveals and twists, culminating in the huge one with two episodes to go about
.

Madoka Magica's 10th episode stands to point also, as does the reveal about the setting and who made everything in Rebellion to a lesser extent.

Bokurano's twists about the jipped system, who was exempt, and the way the mechas worked were also significant.

Higurashi's 5th arc, how
was the killer in the 2nd arc. Mixed with the
in the 6th arc and the varying reveal's in Higurashi Kai about the entire setup.

In-universe, the twist in Shiki that Vampires are real.

While I agree with everything so far, I want to mention somethig that is a BIG twist even if the anime itself is not really about twists (unlike most other examples)

Beginning of the Toaru no Index franchise,


Also the shounen twist, when you believe nobody will die and then suddenly someone dies - but in reverse - you expect someone to die because someone died before but noooo they just KanColle


also zankyou no terror when this really really awesome and promising show turned into garbage

It is for Madoka alone." - Homura
