The moment when you realize "full armor" means "mecha" is AMAZING, I will never deny it! As is Franz's death scene (and talk about your lengthy Shakespearian death monologues, seriously! Also talk about your GUILT-WRINGING. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALBERT!" Albert: "THANKS. RUB IT IN, WHY DON'T YOU.") As is actually Fernand's EPIC CRAZY when he is like "oh well, I guess I have no choice but to DESTROY EVERYTHING WITH MY MECHA SUIT."
But I think Princess Tutu has spoiled me for the power of hugs in anime! Once you have seen a tiny magical girl exorcise a giant ghost knight that has just been hacking away at her by hugging it round the middle, everything else seems less impressive. (Admittedly that is less hilariously slashy than Gankutsuou's epic final hug, but Tutu does make up for it with the many times when the male lead is hanging out with his roommate without pants. Or completely naked.)
