The spoiler-tag concerns episodes near the ending, so don't click if you haven't seen all the episodes:


Grave of the fireflies



And I agree with AnnoKano, asking people to use spoiler tags just to completely disregard that yourself is kind of ironic.

I'm not even a huge FMA fan and I'll admit that
was very well done from an emotional standpoint. It took me quite a while to get over that.

In Steins;Gate episode 12 at the end (if you've seen it, you know). I identify quite a bit with the main character, so seeing his reaction to what happened was heart-wrenching.

On a completely unrelated note, why do I even bother talking to people at all?

For now I will say:
This anime (I mean the OVA - Trust and Betrayal) are one of the best stories I have ever seen. With the right cast and director it can be an epic movie.

I've already seen the OVA so this doesn't bother me, but please use spoiler tags if you are going to put something like that.
