OLD SCHOOL SCI-FI
Something strange happened on the boundaries of space far above the USA in 1995. A pilot named James was testing out the new G-Reaction jet engine, which would allow a plane to circle the Earth in one hour, when a strange sight confronted him. James' last report was that he saw rainbow colored lights, then a flying saucer, and then ground control lost touch with him. Especially hardhit was his friend and commander, Captain Clayton. Now, five years later, strange occurences around G-Reaction powered vehicles have been more and more frequent. Planes, vehicles, and even aircraft carriers have been disappearing. One such incident introuduces us to most of the cast of the show.

Interesting And Fun For The Whole Family
After seeing a preview for this I knew it was for me. To put it in a nutshell, SOS is an anime in the vein of 50's Scifi movies. Plain and simple. From the design of the alien ships to the look of the Sky Knight fighter jet. The ages of the characters are diverse as well, making it easy for anyone to relate to this series. To the adults out there, dont be fooled by the kids on the cover. Yes they are a big part in the first 15 minutes of the series but the adult characters get equal time as well. The story moves fairly well and even though its not nonstop action, the quiet stretches build the mystery and intrigue of the aliens and how to deal with them. As for the animation quality? Yes it could have been better but it wasnt horrible either and it actually molded itself well with the retro scifi theme.
Overall this has started out to be a fun series and I hope it continues.
