Introduction
In this exhilarating series paying homage to classic 50s era science fiction, the disappearance of revolutionary G-Reaction engines is but the beginning of the ghastly end for mankind.
While deranged alien forces prepare a fleet of flying saucers to the invasion of all invasions, teenage geniuses Penny Carter and Billy Kimura join forces with a clandestine secret alliance to save humanity from the extra-terrestrial helmet worms and their tentacles of doom!
Avoiding alien attacks and dodging disintegration rays won't be easy, but these courageous kids will have help from above as Ace pilot James and his mentor Cpt. Clayton enter the fray to stave off a threat incomprehensible to mere mortals!

I like the concept and it being very very reminiscent of 1950s sci fi like war of the worlds and Buck Rodgers. The anime just oozes those two in particular. You can tell this was heavily inspired by those types of movies and series.
Its a very simple anime as in Aliens invade earth you have a group of humans trying to stop them. Its not really any thing original but it flows pretty well and isnt dragged out in a way you wish it would go away. Its 6 episodes at 40 minutes a pop. The Characters are also very much part of that old 1950s feel.
If you go into this having an enjoyment of that kind of stuff you will find some enjoyment of Project Blue Earth. Having grown up as a kid watching stuff like the old War of the Worlds with my dad this certainly brings some nostalgia as i watch it.

Project Blue Earth SOS is full of tropes, stereotypes, old stock characters and "deus ex machina" plot devices, but this is mostly done for mood purposes and surprisingly so well done th…
