my joke answer was going to be the song in utena where they sing "ALLEGORY! ALLEGORIER! ALLEGORIEST!" over and over as utena cuts a million cars in half

You're just asking for a Yoko Kanno thread. You know this, right?
This choral breakbeat track from Brain Powerd is somehow permanently imprinted on me. I wouldn't call it the best, it's just a Yoko Kanno deep cut that's stuck with me lol.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
i need to see brain powerd, this does rule
It's got pre-Turn A Tomino 
about mothers, but it's pretty good. Banging music and cool mech designs!
If you want GGP adjacent stuff, TBH had Jackson on to discuss the finale of Brain Powerd lol
Big fan of Yui's Again from FMA Brotherhood.
Kenji Kawai has made some kick-ass soundtracks over the years, but compared to what you posted - basically nothing I've encountered so far hits as hard from an emotional angle.

It's difficult to compare any media to Turn A Gundam!

Pluto is bigger than the Moon.
I think?
(This comment has nothing to do with the OP; carry on with your day.)
it's actually smaller! by a fair bit, it's got a radius that's like 60% the size of the moon's
To be frank, that's pretty laughable.
Pluto has no business being considered a full planet and people that literally protested outside scientific facilities back in the 2000s because of Pluto being demoted to a dwarf planet just seems, well, pathetic in hindsight.
(But whatever, I've made this point before and I really make no apologies for thinking that Pluto deserves to be considered a dwarf planet so, err, yeah, you might say I'm humble like that.)
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.
