I am going to be honest and say when I started to watch this show the idea of earth being saved by winning a race seemed kind of lame and I was only watching it for the futuristic alien racing action.

Both of them are about piloting airships. They have a very similar concept....In a sense...
French animator Thomas Romain is one of the brains behind this series, and was also one of the four key people behind Oban Star Racers. Both share a unique not-so-Asian flare and really nice CGI mixed with traditional animation.
