I think the best episode of Eureka Seven is episode 26 or 27. I forget which one it is exactly.
Its the one where both Renton and Eureka realize how much they both like each other. Renton decides to go back to the Geko and Eureka leaves the Geko. Renton gets to the Geko only to find, like everyone else, that Eureka has snuck off.
They then find out the Eureka is in the middle of an enemy formaiton. Renton rushed on in the Nirvash to go save her. In the course of trying to save her from falling to the earth, Renton jumps out of the Nirvash and grabs her and then lands back into the Nirvash. That is probably my favorite scene in all of anime.
Its just such a great scene. Its emotionally charge. THe first time I saw that scene, I jumped out of my chair and started cheeering for them al loud as I could. The visual imagery combined with the excellent soundtrack make for an unforgetable scene.

And I added the [Spoiler Warning] tag because I'm assuming that anyone who has an opinion on the best episode has seen the series.

Just for safety, I'll use spoiler tags even though the warning is now on the thread. Anyways...
Episode 48 is my favorite episode. I'm a huge Dominac and Anemone fan, and I was therefore really hoping they would have a happy ending to their relationship. I had no idea how the series would end though, and the fate of Ray and Charles showed me that Eureka Seven had no problem killing off likable side characters.
So throughout the series, while I was expecting at least a half happy or bittersweat end for Eureka and Renton, I was dreading a horrific end for Dominac and Anemone. Episode 48 was probably the most tense episode in the entire show for me as a result, and the ending scenes some of the most satisfying. I was really happy to see Anemone confess her love to Dominac as the two were reunited. And the fact that the 2 of them were both alive, and now seemingly likely to survive till the end of the series (if anyone was) was a definite plus.
Oh yes, there was also the terrific fight scene with the great music, and the cliff hanger ending with the command cluster being wiped out, which caught me quite off-guard.

I'd have to repeat episode 26. It's one of the very few anime episodes that's actually inspired tears of joy in me. After all the emotional anguish and struggle that Renton and Eureka went through (and put each other through) during the first half of the series, it all comes together in that one beautiful moment, with their hands outstretched and "Storywriter" blasting in the background. Swinging to the other end of the series, I don't think I can pick an individual episode out of 48 through 50, so I'll just have to rank the last three together in a unit as being just about equally fantastic. Jaw-droppingly beautiful animation sequences (that fight sequence in 49...wow), the most evil cliffhanger I've ever come across at the end of 49, that beautiful reunion of Dominic and Anemone that so wonderfully paralleled that in episode 26, the entire climactic wrap-up of 50 perfectly choreographed to "Niji"...that, my friends, is how you end a series.
God, I love this show.
