Compared to Eureka 7, the producer would say:

This story is inspired by the hippie movement and the Summer of Love in San Francisco.

I would say that hippies sound more ridiculous compared to Iran, but it turned out great for us. Who would have known that the hippie revolution of love, peace, rock and roll with LSD, sex and cults would turn out to be a great romance mecha anime.
It's even less ridiculous because the political stuff was brought up quite openly even with the first E7, so this isn't new. Not to mention that even watching the show, it's obvious that it has an actual political slant that you don't see in most shows
