I wasn't talking about anything very much, I was being melodramatic :D
There's a theme to several anime I have noticed, a kind of underlying plot thread linking otherwise completely separate stories: Humanity advances to a great age, with wondrous technology and tremendous power, but their growing influence attracts unwanted attention. An alien race, fearful of what humanity might become, moves to obliterate human civilization and drive them back to a new stone age. The humans mount one last desperate attempt to save their race, creating a powerful super-prototype mecha and hiding it away before the aliens notice it, a gift for their descendants a thousand years later, just waiting for some hotshot anime protagonist to fall into its cockpit and begin the liberation of humanity!
*ahem* >.>;
But really I was just hugging my sleeping daughter and feeling mildly profound :D
