Don't know whether this been done, but hope it's worth bringing it up. So what's the best explosion ever seen in any anime?

Let me start:

EVA?

BTW where you asking us to list explosions in Evangelion or were you saying your choice was the entire Eva series? I mean you your self have not even answered your own question. You asked for the best explosion in an anime and you just list the anime, not very desciptive if you ask me.

one of the best explosion in my opinion was from DBZ(YEAH got a problem? ) when vegeta makes his self-destruction tecnique against majin buu.

[Golden Saucer]

Ohh I got another cool one!, in DBZ (Fat! so?) when majin Bu (!finnaly!) destroys earth , it was so quick and obliterating, very cool

[SSJVegita0609]

The first final flash out of Vegeta had a pretty crazy explosion (sort of, more of it just going right through cell) and that was cool. But also the Angel arms explosions in Trigun were all nice. There are also some good ones throughout X.

Wing Gundam Zero in Endless Waltz, PROGRESSIVE EXPLOSIONS before the whole gundam blew up. WOW

Sorta fan of the nuclear explosions that happen in anime because it reminds you of how destructive nukes are and the fact they are based on real life weapons is kinda scary. But you know, since hopefully we'll never see a real nuclear explosion in real life it's kind of neat to be able to see it animated. Couple of my favorites:

Genocyber vaporizing Hong Kong in a phoenix-shaped white hot nuclear-like blast, while giving an eerie cry of psychic pain and while sad orchestral string music plays. Followed by the words: In the year 20-something, Hong Kong was wiped off the face of the Earth.

Also from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories. When Anavel uses the GP-02 to fire the Nuclear weapon at Pompeii Island, destroying so much of the Federation fleet that was gathered there for naval inspection. It reminds me of the bombing on Pearl Harbor for that reason. The words Anavel says before he fires is pretty cool too. I think the last phrase was "Solomon, I have returned!"

And a new explosion that's not nuclear related but is animated pretty niftily is during a dogfight in Macross Zero. One of the Veritechs changes to Battloid mode and enters "bullet-time" It then fires a round at an enemy fighter and tears away it's armor little by little until it explodes as it is ripped apart.

Crusher Joe: Ultimate Weapon Ash has an excellent "doomsday device" at the end. Just wipes out anything in its path.

You're right. Maybe peeps here should list down the best explosions found in an anime or two.

Numba 3!
The purple ring explosion in End of Evangelion, you know, the one that looks like an eye when viewed from above.

Number 2?
The explosion when Tetsuo's bike collides with Numer 25's shield in AKira.

Number 1.
The second Akira explosion, this one just takes ages to happen and you can see it swallowing the entire city.
Okay, technically it isn't an explosion, but it looks damn nice.... and it doesn't use that cheap *shake-the-camera-to-imply-fake-rumbling* trick.
