number 10 spike goes out with a bang
cowboy bebop
throughout the bebop crew's many
adventures spike presents himself as an
unshakably cool and smooth operator
that keeps people at a distance while
flashes of vulnerability
are peppered throughout the series spike
is not truly whole
until he meets with julia in the
two-part finale
a reunion that does not last long julia
julia cowboy bebop
ends on an action-packed but somber
notes as spike and vicious clash for the
final time
spike goes out with a figurative bang a
tragic act that would go on to spark
many debates
regarding the bounty hunter's fate
number 9 erin crashes the party attack
on titan
this series started creating
unforgettable moments right from the
very start
the show's final season begins by
switching focus to mali a nation that
declares war against paradise island
a statement that earns the instant
response from aaron
as the climax for one of the tensest
episodes of the series
erin clashes with willie tiber's speech
by transforming into the attack titan
taking out a building filled with
civilians in the process
in many ways the entire show has been
building up to this moment
a scene that shows just how far the
characters and the anime
had come since its first episode for
better or worse
number eight kyon makes his choice the
disappearance of haruhi suzumiya
she trusted me to make the right choice
the altered world or the original
as the conclusion to the anime
adaptation of the melancholy of haruhi
suzumiya disappearance highlights
the best elements of the series
particularly kyon
and nagato in a movie filled with
nothing but great scenes
the sequence that concludes with kian
finally admitting that the world is more
fun with haruhi
stands out as being extra special so
that's how it is huh
yeah i'm talking to you it's question
and answer time
a character defining moment for kyon
that matches introspective discourse
with powerful visual storytelling this
sequence is the perfect reward
for surviving the endless eight arc
haruhi
is an important anime and kyon's choice
illustrates why
of course it was fun and i loved every
minute of it
number seven pataman digivolves into
anjimon
digimon adventure
[Music]
the late 90s was quite the time to be
getting into anime
digimon adventure had a pretty dark edge
for a kids show and it produced plenty
of awesome moments because of it
as the anime's first major arc came to a
close the digidestined found themselves
overwhelmed by
devymon inspiring padamon to finally
digivolve
into anjimon
[Music]
backed by great music this whole
sequence manages to be triumphant
bits of sweets and foreboding digimon
season 1
is one of those anime that left an
everlasting stamp on a generation
and moments like this are the reason why
[Music]
tk i'll come back again
if you want me to number six kamuki
are you still there hunter hunter
[Music]
in the span of roughly 40 episodes
hunter hunter transforms a stereotypical
shonen final boss
into a sympathetic multi-layered
character with the massive battle long
done
a dying marowim's final moments are
spent playing gunki with komugi
the person responsible for the chimera's
growth
this entire episode is a tearjerker but
the ending
really sticks the knife in although
hunter hunter had been setting itself
apart from other battle shenan series
for quite a while
this scene represents the pinnacle of
the anime's willingness to defy
conventions
and severe expectations
number five goes psycho
neon genesis evangelion
evangelion is anything but a bog
standard mecca anime
and ava01 losing its mind showcases that
splendidly
while not the first time and ava gets to
cut loose o1
entering berserk mode against zeruel is
a defining moment in the series
if not anime in general
the music visuals and that scream
everything about this scene is a work of
terrifying art
one that involves the heroes mecca
literally devouring its enemy
the equivalent scene in evangelion 2.0
is also quite spectacular
but the original is just on a whole
other level
number four the eclipse besik
putting aside the opening episode 1997's
berserk primarily adapts the golden age
arc
which focuses on guts bond with the band
of the hawk
and its leader griffith while gritty and
complex
nothing that happens in the series can
prepare someone for the final episode a
horrifying event that just keeps getting
worse
the eclipse is soul crushing and
incredibly difficult to watch
although locking away is also not an
option
the original anime didn't earn a second
season so this hell was the last many
people saw of guts
casker and griffith at the time
is it true do you really want this
number three luffy punches saint charlos
[Music]
a punch felt around the world both in
one piece's universe
and out of it the cereal archipelago arc
places a direct light on the lopsided
social class balance in oda's world
culminating in an auction where an
arrogant celestial dragon
buys one mere folk and tries to kill
another
while luffy finally snaps and sends
shallows flying
the scene is fully earned and simply
satisfying
not only is the moment itself
unforgettable but it also
leads to long-lasting consequences that
greatly change the lives of the straw
hats trajectory
number two bye bye butterfree pokemon
well i guess you have to leave us now
don't you the pokemon anime was
inescapable during the late 90s and the
show wasn't just endless battles
pikachu being adorable and team rocket
protecting the world from devastation
bye bye butterfree mocked a big
development in the series as it saw ash
bid goodbye to the titular pokemon
which was the first time for the anime
now the pink butterfree is doing the
courtship dance for your butterfree
all right good for you butterfree
teaching kids about letting go of their
pets pokemon did not underplay
the emotional toll this type of
experience can have on a person
over the years pokemon has accumulated
more than a thousand
episodes but few scenes target the
heartstrings quite as effectively
as butterfree's farewell goodbye

goku goes super saiyan dragon ball z
some scenes transcend anime and dragon
ball z
is responsible for probably around half
of them
akira toriyama's series served as an
entry point into anime for plenty of
people
and the show was always fantastic at
making crucial moments
feel truly epic
[Music]
fueled by a myth and triggered by a
string of painful deaths
at the hands of frieza goku finally let
out a rageful scream and became
a legend dragon ball would go on to have
roughly a
million more transformations but goku
going super saiyan for the first time
cannot be beaten on a purely iconic
level
but hey which do you think is the most
iconic anime moment in history
let me know on my twitter at ashjaebow
[Music]
