%% * DistressedDude: Poor Penny Carter.

The series' setting is made to be what some people in the mid-twentieth century would imagine the future to be like. That, coupled with the series' flow and sheer over-the-top nature is very reminiscent of the legendary ''Anime/{{Giant Robo|The Day The Earth Stood Still}}'' OVA series. It's an intentional homage to science fiction TV shows of the black-and-white era, complete with campy designs for alien weaponry and human technology, overacting on the part of minor characters, and two [[KidHero young heroes.]] This series ''goes'' for SoBadItsGood. [[CrazyEnoughToWork And it works!]]

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: The Existence of the Labyrinth Alliance is treated as a plot twist. Admittedly, each episode is rather long and contains two or three episodes' worth of content. What would be an individual episode's ending consists of a campy OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchPhrase that includes a brief summary of the episode's recent developments, ''what could this mean?'' and someone [[InvokedTrope literally saying]] ''find out on the next episode of Project Blue Earth SOS!''

The story is as follows: petrolium-based energy has become obsolete due to the efficient, powerful, and renewable energy of the G-Reaction engines. On January 1, 1995, a G-Reactive fighter plane was being tested, while it was hit by a mysterious rainbow light and disappeared. In 1999, two boys, Billy Kimura and Penny Carter, view similar events occur right before their eyes. Realizing that something is up, the two boys take it upon themselves to get to the bottom of the strange occurrences. Eventually, they learn of an {{Alien Invasion}} and the government's efforts to defend the earth from this impending threat.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Captain Clayton.]]

* TheWoobie: Penny [[spoiler: lost his parents at a very young age.]] It turned out that [[spoiler: they were abducted by the Baguans. They were eventually brainwashed and sent back to earth to act as what were essentially suicide bombers. His mother, dead in mind but alive in body, was shot to death before his very eyes, and she was shot to stop her from stabbing poor Penny.]]
