Blue Comet ran for 38 episodes from October 3, 1985 to June 26, 1986. It was made into 3 Ovas as the series only managed to do two thirds of the story. So the first Ova covers the storyline between episodes 1-24.
The story takes place in the year 1996, where humanity is advanced enough to develop long-range space travel, as well as bases on both the Moon and Mars. However, Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union have not ended; rather, they have escalated as both sides continue to militarize space, and the shadow of nuclear conflict looms over humanity both on and off Earth.
Meanwhile, on Mars, an exchange program created by the United Nations to promote peace and understanding is about to begin; the “Cosmic Culture Club” arrives at the UN Mars base, and are being welcomed by the staff.
Suddenly, four unidentified humanoid robots classified as Super-Powered Tracers are detected, engaged in fierce combat with each other. The UN base is captured in the crossfire and quickly destroyed, eliminating all but six members of the “Cosmic Culture Club”—Elizabeth, Arthur, Roan, David, Simone, and Anna, leaving them stranded on the barren planet that has suddenly become a battlefield. As the battle ends, the lone SPT standing lands next to the terrified group and opens up revealing a pilot, who simply announces to them, “The Earth has been targeted”.
Anyway – enjoy the opening Melos no You ni LONELY WAY which is a pretty epic opening song – though I personally dislike fretless bass in songs.
