Gundam Seed?

There are several Gundam series. The first was _Mobile Suit Gundam_
and the O'Neill Cylinders and a lot of space battles with giant
robots. Later, there was _Gundam Wing_, which featured disk-shaped
habitats and a lot of battles with giant robots. And of course, there
is _Gundam Seed_, about which I know little, but I'm willing to bet it
has a lot of battles with giant robots.

But yeah, because of these series, everybody in Japan over the age of
five or so is familiar with the basic concepts around the whole
O'Neillian scenario. I'm glad that more and more Americans are
watching Gundam, as this may be what is needed for my countrymen to
absorb these ideas.

Now, if we can just avoid all that warfare with the giant robots and
all...
