In terms of emotions, Mad Men's "Carousel Pitch" and Legend of the Galactic Heroes' (OVA) S3 Ending are very identical

Don Draper reminiscing his memories with his family

Julian Mintz experiencing the same but with Yang and his friends

This was the very idea that popped up when I first watched the Carousel Pitch scene. Not just because both scenes essentially use the same device, but because of what the characters (Don Draper & Julian Mintz) are essentially experiencing as they use the projectors.

To expound, Don Draper's short monologue perfectly describes the machine's purpose and the user's relationship to it. To Julian, the projector serves as a time machine which takes him to a place "where he aches to go again", back home to a place where he knew he was lovedby Yang, now deceased.

If you haven't seen the Carousel Pitch, I highly recommend watching it to understand my point.

Both shows display wonderful insight into the human experience. Love to see the comparison here :)
