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.
 
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 [[Giant Robo]] 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 [[Kid Hero|young heroes.]] This series ''goes'' for [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]. [[Crazy Enough to Work|And it works!]]

Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Billy and Penny both graduated from prestigious colleges when normal kids their ages would have been in middle school.
** It's [[Lampshade Hanging|discussed]] more than once.
{{quote| '''Captain Clayton''': Their observational skills surpass that of most adults.}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Averted! The existence of a group fighting against the Baguans was [[Foreshadowing|hinted at]] several times before they came to save the day.
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: Poor Penny Carter.
* [[First Episode Spoiler]]: 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 [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]] that includes a brief summary of the episode's recent developments, ''what could this mean?'' and someone [[Invoked Trope|literally saying]] ''find out on the next episode of Project Blue Earth SOS!''
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: At first, the Labyrinth Alliance tried to cover up the oncoming invasion in order to prevent a panic.
* [[Human Aliens]]: {{spoiler|Margarette.}}
