I've honestly only watched 2 animes so I'm just going to put a few. This is all from Code Geass seeing as I haven't even finished TTGL yet..
First and foremost, Suzaku stabbing and "killing" Lelouch in the last episode. I was almost going to cry, seriously.
Then, at the beginning of season 2 when Zero pops up on the screens all around the world and everyone freaks out. That.. was epic, my heart was pounding.
And also, to me, when Rolo died.. he was using out all of his Geass, making an epic speech, it was really sad and I gained a new respect for him. Epic, definitely. I'll put more when I actually watch more anime lol..

These are my personal favourites.
Cowboy Bebop Session 5 - The scene nearing the end ,where Spike ends his fight & gets thrown out of the church window accompanied by great music.
Cowboy Bebop Session 24 - Scene near the end when Ed "said" BYEBYE & left the crew to search for her father.
Cowboy Bebop Session 26 - THE ENDING. See cracker's post.
Cowboy Bebop : Knockin' on heavens door(Movie) - Scene nearing the end where Spike in the Swordfish II races to Alba city with military fighters on his tail. Great music & animation.
...& pretty much a hell lot more scenes from Cowboy Bebop.
Edit : I see lots of spoilers here, should the thread have a spoiler warning or something?

DBZ: Goku says "and this is what it means to go even further beyond" as he transorms into super saiyan level 3 and fat buu is practicly shitting himself from how much power goku is putting off.
Rurouni kenshin: during the fight with saito when kenshins eyes go yellow and he reverts back to batousai and then dodges saitos gatoutsu like its nothing, then counter with a parry ryu-con-sen to the back of the head, through a wall.

In no particular order, my top five:
1. The entire last two episodes of Gundam 00 Season 1.
2. Ichigo Kurosaki V. Byakuya Kuchiki, Round 2
3. Ichigo Kurosaki V. Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, final match.
4. Viper's Creed, Episode 5: When Rudra nails that other sniper through her rifle's scope and out the back of the head, from 2km(1.24 miles) away. Sorry, but as much as I love Lockon Stratos, this guy definitely tops him in sheer badassery, even if Lockon's still cooler.
5. Kira Yamato's crushing defeat at the hands of Shinn Asuka - Gundam Seed Destiny, Ph34.

Vegeta's Final Flash against Perfect Cell. Something about it to me just bleeds epic, even if it failed. The music, the build-up, the sheer fucking power of it all. I mean, up to that point, we knew they were strong, but we had never seen so much power placed into one single attack like that before. And I don't believe since.

Right.
In TTGL episode 3(?), when Kamina punches the shit out of Enki(Viral's mech), then plops the top of its head down onto Gurren Lagann's as a helmet...and the thing changes color from white to red/black.
EPIIIC.
Also, this one, but that's just 'cuz it's so funny the way they handled it:(From Ep5)

The bit in Cowboy Bebop when
Spike dies
and in the Cowboy Bebop movie when Spike gets thrown out of the monorail/train.
TTGL final episode, especially every scene with the song "Libera Me" from Hell in it.
I love Bleach far too much to recite every bit of Bleach I think is epic so I'll give that one a miss.
The Afro Samurai fight against the Teddy Bear dude, and the opening scene with Afro's dadda, and the final fight against Justice. Such an epic series.
Oh, the Kill Bill anime scene is amazingly epic.
DragonBall: The first time Goku uses kamehameha and EVERY subsequent time, because that's a move I'll never get enough of, when Goku fights Jackie Chun, when he fights Tien Shinhan, when he fucking punches right through King Piccolo, and most epic of all, when he headbutts Junior then gives him the Senzu Bean, best Saga ever.
DBZ: The OVER 9000 bit naturally (though the redubbed remastered version is kinda different =/) the Frieza fight BEFORE Super Saiyan, SUPER SAIYAN obviously, the Father-Son Kamehameha, the bit where Mr Satan (BEST. CHARACTER. EVER) teaches Buu how to be good, the bit where Good Buu comes out to save the day, the bit where Mr Satan tells the Earth to "STFU AND PUT YOUR GODDAMN HANDS U" (<-- paraphrasing) and obviously the bit where Goku does the Earth Spirit Bomb and then the final wish to put him back to full power.
EPIC.
FFVII ('cuz the character styles are anime), FFVII: Last Orders, FFVII: Crisis Core WHERE ZACK DIES YOU BASTARDS, Advent Children final fight, FFXII every part with Balthier.
The bit in Spirited Away where the chick remembers who Haku is and his dragon form disappears and they fly down through the clouds forehead to forehead. Love that scene.
I'll add more when I remember.

-Spike's death - obvious
-L's death - obvious
-Major Kusanagi coming out of nowhere to stop Togusa from killing himself - GITS: SSS
-The last 3 episodes of Samurai Champloo (basically the fights vs Kagetoki)
-Ichigo's inner world experience leading him to get up and then the resuming fight with Kenpachi
And a few more. Not particularly the epitome of epic but they stand out in my memory right now.

Lots of Epic Moments in Anime, but my favorites are:
- Code Geass R2: Ep. 21 - The whole scene when Lelouch announces himself as 99th Emperor. I especially liked the part when Suzaku comes out. The entire final episode of R2, complete epicness.
- Bleach: Too many epic moments in Bleach to mention, but my favorites are from eps. 54 and 55, the saving Rukia scene (especially awesome when Ichigo beats down the VCs barehanded and when Yamamoto stops Ukitake from saving his 3rd seat).
- FMA: Ep. 40 - When it is revealed that Fuhrer Bradley is a homunculus. Ep. 43 - Armstrong and Mustang's combination attack against the Elric's and Mustang explains his reasons for wanting higher positions in the military.
- Naruto Shippuden: Ep. 31 - I thought Gaara being revived was pretty epic.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ep. 19 - The entire fight sequence between Zeruel and Unit 01, especially when Unit 01 goes berserk.
There's alot more epic moments, but these are the ones i remember atm.

Cowboy Bebop #5, church fight, epic music, subdued but blazing action. one of my fav anime scenes ever. made me watch the whole series.
Zero-sama
04-21-2009, 11:49 PM
I have a lot of them, but for the moment I would say my top 5:
1- Cowboy Bebop, episode 5: Spike's reunion with his past, the music, the action scene, the opera and church scene. This episode is truly the best of the best. The title says it all "The ballad of the Fallen Angels". Hey what the fuck, I am gonna watch it right now, episode 5 again. The best epic moment for me in anime.
2- Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen, OVA: When Kenshin kills Tomoe and she gives him the last scar in his face and the dies, the fight in the snow was truly epic, when he is walking in the snow that he was seeing things, and when he began to kill at the end having the cross scar and fighting Saitou, that is indeed epic. The music they used was superb and excellent. Overall all the 4 chapters of Tsuiokuhen had epic moments.
3- Code Geass R2, episode 21: When Lelouch announces himself has the new emperor and the music hits at that time it was epic, also when Susaku appears as the Knight of Zero, and when his family members thought he was dead and see him alive and then he confesses to them that he killed his father, Charles, and casting Geass in everyone in the room, to obey him as the new emperor, truly epic.
4- Spriggan, The Movie: At the end of the movie when Yu Ominae is fighting Colonel MacDougal and MacDougal sees in Ominae's arm a tattoo that says Operation Cosmos 43 and then finds out that Yu Ominae was in Operation Cosmos and they start showing Ominae's past, since he was a kid, the training he had, the experiments they did to him, that is another epic moment. Personally one of my favorites.
5- Hunter x Hunter, episode 56: When Kurapica is fighting the unstoppable and powerful Uvogin, and we see that Kurapica beats the hell out of Uvogin utilizing his Nen abilities of Conjurer and Specialist, and then we see that Kurapica's eye is turned scarlet red, and explains to Uvogin that not only he can utilize the abilities of a conjurer and specialist to a 100% maximum potential but he can also do the impossible and use all Nen categories to a maximum potential, leaving Uvogin speechless by stating that and then he kills Uvogin. Truly epic, the fight scene, the powers, the animation, also the music is incredible, again this is an epic moment.

Well Nono in Gunbuster 2 slicing a planet in half kinda did it for me. Also, if it makes a difference, right after that scene in Gunbuster they blew up that ship and created a blackhole that destroyed over 100,000 space monsters in one blow.
Btw: You might be interested to know that Gunbuster was Hideki Anno's directorial debut as well as Gainax's first big hit. It was an incredibly important show.

One of Raoh's epic moments. IMO the best antagonist in anime/manga:

I agree with a few other posters...last episode of Code Geass R2. It was the most emotional scene I have watched out of the short list of anime series I have completed. Next to that, the episode of Fate Stay Night when Saber disappears.

The few action sequences Kara no Kyoukai has are epic. Although there are some missing in this video, but whatever. Contains spoilers btw.
Awesome animation, Kajiura Yuki music plus a badass Shiki => more than just epic.

- DBZ had a ton of epic moments, but Gohan going SSJ2 during the Cell fight is my top pick. The music (beautiful song!), the animation, the pure epicness of that moment was just amazing...and I love the "Oh shit!" look on Cell's face, lol
- The final judgment in Cardcaptor Sakura, when Yukito was revealed to be Yue.
- Spike's death in Cowboy Beebop.
I'm sure I'll think of more later. :)

Agreed =D, sad this don't have any scene from the sixth movie tough. I can't get enough of the water effect on the roof of the first movie, just awesome X).

I don't have a videoclip of it, but one moment in Saiyuki(besides any scene involving Hakkai getting pissed off, which happens occasionally, Goku's restraint breaking, or Kougaiji's ever-amusing mother-complex), is a scene in an early episode when the Sanzo Party is staying at this girl's house, and at night when a demon breaks in.
Goku's reaction is simply epic.
"You bastard, how could you...YOU ATE ALL THE COOKIES!!!!!"
Also Kougaiji getting his ass kicked by Goku that time was pretty epic.

Yeah, that is also my favorite part in Kara no Kyoukai movies that I've watched (1 - 6)
By the way:

One of best anime movies, with one of best songs I've ever heard.
Macross: Do You Remember Love?
Song: Do You Remember Love? performed by Mari Iijima, who provided her voice for character Lynn Minmay in original Macross series, Macross: Do You Remember Love? and Macross Flash Back 2012 special.

Only epic moment to really come out of code geass was ALL HAIL BRITTANIA.
Anytime Sakata Gintoki get serious, pure awesome ensues.

Oh come on, the amazing ass-kicking Playboy Bunny from R2 ep 1 was pretty fucking epic.
(YAY, Kallen!)
Also epic IMO was the grand debut of the sinisterly awesome Guren SEITEN Hakkyokushiki.
The Lancelot Albion simply fails in comparison.
