Turn A Gundam/Tear Jerker

Although it's much more idealistic than Yoshiyuki Tomino's other directing credits in the Gundam saga, Turn A can still hit you in the heart pretty hard.


 * The aftermath of the attack on Vicinity is pretty bad, especially the funeral of Diran Heim. Sochie and the household's servants are overwhelmed with grief, as is Loran, over the death of a good-natured man who didn't do anything to deserve it. Worse, there are so many casualties in the town that they have to bury him right away, before they can even contact Kihel and her mother.
 * Even Sochie, who hates Dianna Counter, is upset by seeing his lifeless hands clutching the edge of the cockpit.
