At the end of Gunbuster (if you haven't seen it go watch it!)
::: spoiler (seriously this spoils an amazing moment!) When Noriko and Kazumi finally return to Earth from the galactic core, having sacrificed the Gunbuster's Buster Drive to defeat the space monsters meaning they can't warp and have to travel at regular lightspeed. So they arrive back after 12,000 years have passed on Earth, and at first don't see any signs of life so they're afraid they failed and humanity has gone extinct - but suddenly the whole Earth lights up with the words WELCOME HOMƎ. The music fits perfectly, the name as well (Beyond the River of Time), and just the idea that humanity would be so grateful to these two girls' bravery that they would remember them and plan for their return for twelve millennia, passing down the words for their great great great... grandchildren to use to welcome them home. It's just such a beautiful and hopeful sentiment, I cried when I watched it.
