* "Ghibli Gundam" for the series as a whole. The scenery is full of GhibliHills, there are a lot of airships and antique planes early in the show, and the kind, pacifistic protagonist coupled with the overall hopeful and idealistic themes are probably what you ''would'' get if Creator/StudioGhibli ever did their own HumongousMecha show.
