Template:FranchiseFreedom (フリーダム Furīdamu?) is a 2006 hard science fiction OVA series animated by Sunrise to promote Nissin Cup Noodle as part of Freedom Project.

Synopsis

In the 23rd century, mankind has fled earth and emigrated to the moon.

The last outpost of civilization is the Lunar Republic of Eden, where the omnipresent Citizens Administration Council grants residents everything they need. However, what if you discovered that everything that you ever believed was a lie? A single photograph with an inscribed message, found inside a rocket launched from Earth, leads a group of young men to question the council ruling the seemingly utopian city. To what lengths would you go to discover the true meaning of Freedom?[1]
