Lots of good answers for ATLA, but I'm partial to the "Do the tides command this ship?" scene.

Maybe the best introductory scene for a villain that I've ever seen.

There was no specific quote, but watching Azula have a bona fide nervous breakdown after all her friends abandoned her was something else even as an adult.

The Avatar finale has two climaxes.

The final showdown between Aang and Ozai is the action-packed climax for the kids who want to watch a cool anime superhero fight.

The Agni-Ki between Zuko and Azula is the emotional climax for the adults watching.

To be fair, the Agni-Ki was fucking metal action-wise too.

I, too, climaxed

One of the things most people I know like about Azula is that the show ended with her still being evil. They wrote her to be genuine with herself, and that meant no redemption.

"Can your science explain why it rains?"

Sokka: "Yes! Yes it can!"

I just clicked on that link and oooooooohhhhh Azula truly is capable is sending chills down one's spine. Her VA is so GOOD at playing the the role.
