The bulk of the final episode of 'Giant Robo: The Animation' (although if you want to get specific, starting from when Robo rises out of the wreckage again as Daisaku realizes he can't just stand by doing nothing anymore.)
What follows from that scene is, to this day, still probably one of those few occasions where I feel I can legitimately describe an anime as epic (...it's one of those hang-ups for me, I've seen the word used and misused so much I kind of had to up my standard for the word to allow it to keep any sort of meaning.)
Anyways, in non-spoiler terms, what follows is a final battle that, despite officially turning 10 years old this year, is still visually impressive to watch.
While a bit exagerrated, it's somehow strangely fitting that the soundtracks list the song that starts this chain of events as 'History's Greatest Decisive Battle'
...OK, ONE spoiler
[spoiler]Helps that, just when it seems like they've gotten everyone involved they can, Alberto of Impact decides to finally make his return. A sadly short-lived moment, but for his influence on events, as well as some of the better last words in an anime, it's probably one of the most memorable parts of the episode.[/spoiler]
OK...I'm done rambling
