* RetroUniverse: The series takes place in an alternate 1999 when people never stopped using Moderne and Googie inspired architecture.

The story is as follows: petroleum-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 2000, 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.

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.]]

* TagalongKid: You'd figure that Penny and Billy would fall into this category, but they fit better in the {{Kid Hero}} area. The title of the series' {{Tagalong Kid}} goes to the one and only, Lotta Breast, that boarders on {{The Load}} but barely manages to avoid it.

''Project Blue Earth SOS'', directed by Creator/TensaiOkamura and animated by Creator/{{ACGT}}[[note]]with Creator/TMSEntertainment co-producing the last two episodes[[/note]], is a six-episode {{OVA}} series set in an alternate version of the nineties. In a review for the first DVD volume, Anime News Network's Carl Kimlinger had called the show as a "throw back to the gee-wiz adventures of 50's B-cinema and the likes of Tom Swift".

* UnfortunateNames: Lotta Breast (pronounced Breest in the dub) who's a little kid, and Penny Carter, who's a guy.
