Fate/Zero.

I'll start with an important detail: It's very very difficult to make me evoke an emotion in anything. Most other feels in fictionland only got me on the border of the verge of tears. Disney and Pixar films barely hit me, for example.

Then for some reason, the ending really hit me hard. (I now assume that the barrage of feels in the last few episodes built up on that point and gave me one last 'screw you' via the ending song. Not really much on impact in hindsight)

No other plot, not even Grave of the Fireflies, managed to evoke that. What the fuck. It's pretty much one of five reasons why Fate/Zero is on my top 5 of favorite anime of all time.

The only close second to that is Walking Dead Season One and Persona 3. By just tiny margins.
