Tear Jerker: Sentou Yousei Yukikaze
The ending of the fifth Yukikaze episode with Jack running down the corridor begginn Rei Fukai to return from battle again, just as he always has.
Actually, no scratch that, Yukikaze is filled with moments like this, including the Yukikaze jecting it's pilot before shooting him and telling hom "good luck", and the very ending of the series where the writer character sees an image of Rei standing on the hillside with Jack, when he really can't be there.
