Land of the Never-Dawn

So, I just finished watching the first episode of the new anime Xam'd.  I must say, I'm very excited.  I haven't been reading much about all the new series coming out this fall, but I stumbled on a torrent for this along with a positive review and I decided to check it out.   The wholes style of the anime seems reminiscent of Nausicaa, my favorite Ghibli film.  I would say that the airships and the mythology were definitely influenced by Miyazaki.  Meanwhile, the character designs seem similar to that of the Persona games, giving the art an aesthetic and stylistic appearance.  There have been no characters that I have felt an immediate revulsion for yet, and the protagonist seems likable enough.  Also, the soundtrack was amazing.  However, I wasn't too fond of the opening and ending songs for this anime.  While I thought they were excellent songs, they didn't seem appropriate for what I have perceived is the atmosphere of this show.  I can't say why, but for some reason they brought to mind Eureka Seven, which I was never very fond of.  But maybe that's just me.  Besides that, I really have no criticism to give.  I'm eager to see the next episode, and I have high hopes for this one!
 
**EDIT**
I know why now!  It looks exactly like Eureka Seven!  Go figure.
