A while back I tried to do a "best opening/closing scene/line"
After a while, I expanded it to simply "bext scene/line"

Here are the total results.

From Enrique Conty:

Opening scenes:
1)  BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, Episode 1.  Several shots of Neo-Tokyo, building up
    to Priss and the Replicants' 75 MPH rendition of Konya Wa Hurricane.

2)  KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE.  A feel-good opening to a feel-good film.

Closing scenes:
1)  WINGS OF HONNEAMISE.  Overlapping pull-out zooms, ending with a zoom
    off the Earth and a pan to Mankind's next destination... a starfield.

2)  ANGEL'S EGG.  Again, overlapping pull-out zooms, and a whopper of a
    punchline at the end (which I won't spoil here).

3)  GUNBUSTER, Episode 6.  Noriko and Kasumi leave the Gunbuster, and at
    that point the image turns color and full-screen, to show the
    transition between history and the present.


From Matt Houlahan:

  One of my favorites was from KOR Hurricane! Akane, the shapechanging girl,
when Kyosuke has just jumped onto Madoka and surfaced with an interesting
perspective on his love. "Things has just gotten worse" and the expression on
his face were just a combination that I nearly died laughing at...


From Hitoshi Doi:

Best Moments in Anime
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Touch TV 17								95
    After Tatsuya lost the boxing match, Minami tried to comfort
    Tatsuya and kissed him.
Kimagure Orange Road TV 12						95
    Kyosuke and Madoka talked on the swing set, and Madoka said
    that she had never intended to go to America.
Kimagure Orange Road TV 48						90
    Kyosuke returned from the parallel world.  Then Kazuya sent
    them back to the present time.  Kyosuke pretended to be
    sleeping under the tree and Madoka came.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon TV 24					85
    Naru-chan tried to save Nefright, but Nefright was killed by
    Zoisight's youma.
Touch Sebangouno Nai Ace MOVIE						85
    The Meisei team found out about Kazuya's death, but they tried
    their best to win for their "ace".
Video Girl Ai OVA 6							80
    Youta went to Ai and saved her.  Youta shouted out that he
    wanted everything but Ai and him to go away.
Magical Taruruuto-kun TV 59						75
    Honmaru died and Iyona, Rui, Harako, Jabao, and the others
    said that they loved him.

From Mark Chilenskas:

 Without a doubt, my favorite is Miyu returning Shinma RaEn to the dark in
 Kyuuketsuki Miyu by Toshihiro Hirano.  It works better on the AnimEigo
 LD than their tape, as the subtlety in the percussion comes through better
 with the improved dynamics of the sound.  I like this so much i taped it
 on audio cassette (minus some of the longer speeches by Miyu) to listen to
 at work.

 Second place (but not even close) would be the "radiant Lum" scene from the
 making-a-movie portion of Lum the 4ever (see pg 76 of the manga version.)

 I don't really have any favorite lines, but "Nanda ko" might qualify, as it
 is the first Japanese phrase i learned not from a Go book nor at a Japanese
 restaraunt...

From Jongwoo Park:

My favorite scene is from UY: Movie 3.  The scean is the very
near the ending where Lum annouces that everyone will go to
the carnival next day.  Then everyone yells "Yeah!" and
as the curtain comes down everyone bows toward the audience.
