Oooooh. Tricky, but I'll give it a whirl! There are a lot of different elements that come together, so giving a summary in three words is diffcult, but my mind settled on 'Unconventional industrial revolution'. Turn-A Gundam takes place in the far future, in kind of a post-post-apocalyptic scenario where the bad stuff went down thousands of years ago and is spoken of in hushed tones as the 'dark history'. Since then, Earth's people have recovered to roughly the equivalent of WWI era technology, and one of the big players in the series is the heir of a fiefdom named Inglessa (pretty much New New England, a lot of the Earth bits take place in North America) who has been pushing to industrialize his lands. There are a lot of scenes that show how people with that sort of mind set adapt to suddenly coming into contact with extremely advanced technology, especially as the series progresses and a lot of the characters from Earth end up travelling to the moon with all of its advanced sci-fi tech.
'Robot washing machine' came in second even though that's only one small part of the series. Loran was entrusted with a giant robot of the sort that are usually used as war machines, but throughout the series he's pretty darn creative with using it to help others.
Okay, maybe I cheated a little, but it was a fun mental exercise nonetheless! Turn-A Gundam is really unconventional for anime series, and that's a huge part of what made me want to watch it.
