| This post is primarily initiated to acknowledge the masterful ideas used and executed by the anime makers. Ex: Koe no Katachi - Usage of X marks in covering up people's faces which speaks a thousand words about the type of people who exist in real life(portrayed in the character of Mc ofcourse). Deathnote - Simply the choreography/directing of the potato chip scene which is nothing more than a dramatization of a kid writing names in a notebook. P.S This is not meant to be about your favorite or most amazing/epic moment.It's a critical appreciation post. |
 |
| Hmmm this is difficult. I can't remember all the epic moments in anime but I'm sure that every second of the Monogatari Series is a Masterpiece. |
 |
| Miru Tights might be, as the reviews say, the next great classic of the decade, and perhaps the very peak of animation as a medium. I don't think this mastery of animated tights will be topped anytime soon. |
 |
| The awkward yet very realistic interactions between Mizuno and Akane in Tsuki ga Kirei |
| Any scene from Your Name. Or any other Makoto Shinkai Movie |
 |
| Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. The whole monologue of Kyon. That's where the whole franchise peaked and one of the best scenes in the entire japanimation world. The scene reach the perfection exactly at 5:24 where Kyon says "Now then, me. Yes, you! I ask myself." That sentence give me the chills. |

AniJan said: Yeah i get what you are saying. I've seen it in other anime too. Especially Steins;Gate where everyone's character seems so random(mainly Suzuha) but only when i rewatched it I was able to marvel at the consistency of character and their behavior.Not exactly masterful, but definitely worthy of note. I rewatched Hunter x Hunter up until the start of Greed Island, and I noticed that Hisoka's motives are established from the start and every action of his is plausible in that it is within what he believes. In other words, I believe Hisoka is a very consistent character. Again, not exactly masterful, but it is something I noticed and commend. |
|
| Well as far as unique moments of brilliance, this scene from Magical Sisters Yoyo & Nene takes the cake for me because I can't think of any other legit musical numbers in anime. Kuro_Neko04 said: Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. The whole monologue of Kyon. That's where the whole franchise peaked and one of the best scenes in the entire japanimation world. And this...I totally agree with this. |
 |
| I don't know about you, but this scene is one of the most masterfully scenes ever created. Kuro_Neko04 said: Oh, hell yes. Definitely the best scene in the series itself.Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. The whole monologue of Kyon. That's where the whole franchise peaked and one of the best scenes in the entire japanimation world. The scene reach the perfection exactly at 5:24 where Kyon says "Now then, me. Yes, you!

| @Ryuogine Wow! you are right there is actually so much going on in that one parade scene.So much symbolism too. Suzumiya haruhi no Shousitsu was already on my PTW. Am i also supposed to watch suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu to fully get into SHNS? |
|
| It's really a KyoAni thing, but the only example I can think of is in Tamako Love Story, with how characters eyes widen ever so slightly when they hear shocking news. Unlike most other's however, KyoAni is actually pretty subtle when they do this Also Initial D with the use of the angel wings in the final battle, especially in the context of the situation |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |

Am i also supposed to watch suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu to fully get into SHNS? Yes you are supposed to watch Suzumiya Haruhi and Suzumiya Haruhi 2009 (which is season 2). Before getting into the anime I would like to specify 2 things. First of all, the first season aired in a mf strange way. The first season is disordered af. And it's beautiful. Watch it like this, there are people who says that you should watch it chronologically but imo the best way to watch it is the broadcast order. You will get confused as hell but is a very fun ride. Then after S1 the S2 is completely normal. Except for the notorious Endless 8 arc. The Endless 8 arc is actually an arc composed by 8 episodes... which are basically all the same. I mean same scenes, same dialogues... yes. Ofc many people hate this arc, but imo is beautiful. Even if it is the same thing over and over again, you should actually watch it. It sounds boring but tbh it isn't. Give it a try and if you don't want to watch it then skip to the last episode of the arc... Then you can watch the movie, which is, the most beautiful part of the whole anime. The anime and the light novels aren't finished yet tho. Actually the writer is on hiatus... 8 years have passed since the last book. But we, the Haruhi fandom, didn't lost all hope. |

HopefulNihilist said: v_max said: Ex: Koe no Katachi - Usage of X marks in covering up people's faces which speaks a thousand words about the type of people who exist in real life(portrayed in the character of Mc ofcourse). The usage of X marks on peoples' faces lacked any subtlety in what it was trying to convey, and was so over the top, it was just goofy. There are depressed people right among us and we would not even know about them. The X mark is a simple tool which is used by the makers to put the viewer in the Mc's mind.Yes it is not subtle.Perhaps it was overused too. A silent voice is one of the more realistic anime about depression except for the over the top X mark scenes(as in you don't see X marks appear on people in real life). But in reality, depressed people do put imaginary X'es on people's faces.The makers decided to use Anime/Manga as a medium to convey the realistic quirks of depressed people and I feel it can be very hard to do so.The non-subtelty and over-the-top contrast is drawing attention towards that and without it we would end up with a hyper-realistic slice of life drama which a lot of people may not end up understanding how a depressed person behaves. What makes a scene 'Brilliant'? Well I can't fully answer that. There are anime on Voice actors or idols or writers. And the anime which captures the complex subtleties of said people in a few simple scenes with commendable accuracy can be considered 'Brilliant' by these people. Being in a depressed state myself at some earlier point in time, I considered the X-mark scene to be 'brilliant' because that dramatization captured a lot about the depressed individual and speaks volumes if you ask the relevant person.Again I repeat the contrasting over-the-top nature was necessary in highlighting all this in front of the viewer which otherwise might have gone unnoticed. Please note that that is how i related to it and it is my subjective opinion.A joke is not funny if you don't get it,same case here.My only regret is that I am not able to better explain my point and am not the right person to defend my argument. |

| These are the ones I can think of at the moment. Domestic na Kanojo - what it means to "go out" with your teacher and adopted older sister moment on the beach. Kuzu no Honkai - female protagonist rejected a student in the most brutal way imaginable. Shingeki no Kyoujin s2 - Mikasa explains what matters to her and willingness to sacrifice all else. Boogiepop - Boogiepop and fear Ghoul meet and exchange a few words. Shinsekai yori - Squealer is/was human and his end. Fate zero - the forbidden meeting of the Kings. Unlimited blade works s2- Gilgamesh vs homunculus maids (the words he tells them as he kills them. |

Glad we had a movie to put the cherry on the cake for the series, as it was a great way to finish it off. Hey hey the novel isn't finished, I know much time has passed but Tanigawa is still alive, there is still hope. |

............use the damn spoiler tag |
BlakexEkalb said: Kuro_Neko04 said: Hey hey the novel isn't finished, I know much time has passed but Tanigawa is still alive, there is still hope. I don't want the series to continue in all honesty. The movie was a good ending point to the series. Sometimes it's good to leave the rest up to the imagination. no it's not, there are so many plot points that need to be explained |
| The end of Shinsekai Yori!! This one is mainly coming from the POV of the VN but I guess this counts as anime-related as there is the UBW anime, but that twist partway though UBW... Not much to say so won't spoiler tag but it is still the most mindblowing twist I've ever experienced. How you're guided slowly in to realizing it for youself instead of being told directly and it just dawns on you. And then, everything about Archer's character makes sense! Top tier fucking genius writing. Clannad: After Story episode 18. My eyes are welling up just thinking about it right now. Kizumonogatari III. From Araragi's realization of what he has done to the reveal of Kiss-Shots true intentions. Stunning character writing. Nisemonogatari |
| “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Aggregate scoring is bad for the anime fandom |
| Huh, interesting thread, good job on this one. Attack on Titan Season 1, Episode 1: The most stunning scene in that episode is at the end, when the side character Hannes tries to be all heroic but then stiffens up of fear when he stands before a Titan for the very first time. One of the best 1st episodes in anime imo. K-On! Season 2, Episode 1: The beginning where Yui plays the instrumental version of My Life is a Stapler. Whenever I see that scene, I can't give it a different meaning than that the anime announces it's own beginning of the end. Quite melancholic, a super instrumental and pretty pictures as we know them from KyoAnimation. The Disappearence of Haruhi Movie: As the specific moment has been already mentioned, I won't go into detail anymore. Koe no Katachi Movie: Additional to the X-faces that have been mentioned already, I give the animation studio props as well for the moment those X-faces disappear. Best moment of the movie. 3-Gatsu no Lion, no specific episode: The interactions between Rei and the three girls at their household always gets me, no matter how many times he's been there already. It's so warm and "homey" to see this animated that I can't love this enough, even if nothing actually happens. Gintama', Four Devas Arc: The moment Gintoki snaps. ----------------- And many more... |
| Final scene in Kimi no Nawa, very beautiful |
| The last one I've seen if the "fight" between Zenitsu and a demon in Kimetsu no Yaiba and as someone already said in this thread, many moments in 3-gatsu no Lion, especially in the second season Speaking of second season, Mob Psycho 100 S2 was also breathtaking for its visuals, especially the whole fight in episode 11 And here I'm only talking about the visual effects |
| The characters in Fate/Zero - both the Masters and Servants alike - being the embodiment of the ideology they are fighting for. Kiritsugu's utilitarian/realist mindset and 'the ends justify the means' underhanded assassinations vs. Saber's honor and duty as the king of knights and her deontologist 'justice for everyone' mindset. Additionally, there's also the ideological battle between the 3 Kings (Arthur, Gilgamesh, and Alexander) and their beliefs of what makes a good ruler |
| Lots of stuff from Evangelion come to mind, episode 5 comes to mind because I just rewatched it though, there's a scene where Misato talks to Shinji while bathed in light that doesn't quite reach Shinji which suggests that on some level connecting with Misato would bring Shinji into the light with the NERV logo (and thus NERV itself) coming between them. Misato bathed in light from behind and her silhouette only visible, showing Shinji still doesn't understand Misato before cutting to the reverse shot with darkness behind Shinji and his face only barely illuminated, showing Misato understands Shinji but doesn't quite know everything about him. Also anything mentioned in these videos because the guy looking at this stuff is many times more knowledgeable in this kind of stuff than me |
   I'll keep wishing for a world where you can be happy. |
| The first one comes to my head is from manga 20th Century Boys between the very first scene and the very last scene, Kenji really changed the world with his little action in the first scene ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
always an iconic one for me. probably the first scene that really brought my attention to anime and i started exploring it a little more. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| The moment when the OST "Misterioso" plays in Madoka Magica: Rebellion always sent shivers down my spine. The way the music syncs up with: Expert crafting on that series as a whole but that scene in particular was incredible and nostalgic. |
 |
| There are too many to choose from, but from the top of my mind a few: A lot of stuff from Mamoru Oshii such as the use of metaphors in Angel's Egg. Egg itself as a representation of ones own faith and subtle referenses to Tarkovsky's Solaris such as the end shot are masterful. Oshii is a master director and masterpieces like Patlabor 2, Angels Egg, Dallos, Beautiful Dreamer, Ghost in the Shell prove that he is a man of unique talent. Ofcourse Kobayashis and Oguras background among other factors contribute to his movies, but even without specific people his work look amazing. One of the legendary shots that immediately come to mind is from Gamba no Bouken episode 2(?) where the mice see the sea for the first time ever. The contribution of both music and amazing 2D animated background sea (animated by art director Kobayashi as weird as it sounds) really blew my mind. Yoshimichi Kamedas work in FMA Brotherhood is unforgettable. |
| naruto shippuden - kakashi vs obito is a directing masterpiece. carole and tuesday - the scene where they sit together humming the song untill the words came to them is just so good i wanted to cry. space dandy - its filled with amazing and creative scenes. the most unique in my opinion is when the whales finally go to their planet. and ofc, anything by tetsurou araki and maasaki yuasa |
 |
| The episode with Martin Rees as MC in Monster was absolutly astonishing. |

| Masterpiece show of acting from Miyano Mamoru and masterpiece OST that still hasn't been found and all in this masterpiece scene from ''Ushio to Tora''. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AivjXYL8iY This epic scene from ''Mob Psycho 100 2'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwjjJsC5gu4 ''Steins; Gate 0'' last scene(This one should win an award for best scene ever or something) ''Steins;Gate'' emotional scene beetwen Makise and Okabe(another Miyano Mamoru show) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_VDWZkBYbo ''Operation Skuld' which operates at the same time in the both ''Steins; Gate'' and ''Steins; Gate 0''. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwH8zocToLQ Gon and Killua ineractions from ''HxH(2011)''. I guess that this one is the best but there is many, many more scenes since this anime is just godlike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poLAAD8MstY When All Might told Midorya that he can become a hero in ''Boku no Hero Academia s1'', when Lelouch activated 2nd eye in ''Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion R2'' and many, many more scenes which I just don't remember at this moment. |

The payoff for 23 episode worth of journey. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| So many... But if I had to choose one it would be the ground level scenes of Texhnolyze, the empty Cinema in particular. A subtle but not so subtle climax that I found very impressive. @Gorim The opening scene of Angel's Egg--I knew I was in for something special.. Also the paddle throw/ending of Ping Pong and the very human, almost prosaic discussion on the beach with Peco as a backdrop. One of the best closings to an anime ever. |
