Turn A Gundam I: Earth Light

Cowboy Bebop meets Pacific Rim without the cynicism. A lunar scout sent to prep Earth for invasion instead falls for the planet and its people, then wakes a colossal ancient war machine when hostilities ignite. Quiet idealism wins the day, carried by a soft-spoken teen and mecha older than memory.
