Toon Closet Review: Project Blue Earth SOS
Its been awhile since I’ve done this so here we go again. I got in to this anime almost immediately when I first watched it; so much so that I brought the first volume disc at a convention (Anime Crossroads). The plot is simple but has its own interesting twist; earth is under attack by alien invaders and it’s up to a special defense force to stop them. The setting is a nice as well taking place in Retro-future (characterized by a blend of old-fashioned styles with futuristic technology) of the 1990s. The main characters are impressive for the part of the series and very likable in their own right. I don’t want to spoiler too much if you hadn’t seen it yet. But I can say the series is well scripted and beautifully animated. The series itself has a nice inspiration from those 50s sci-fi films. For a six episode series it does keep the story straightforward and self-explanatory within their 40+ minute marks.
My Final Verdict: There’s a plethora of animes out there these days but I believe Project Blue Earth SOS is a good way to start off. This anime displays some really amazing action and subtle drama; I highly recommend watching this anime.
