Blue Comet SPT Layzner (蒼き流星SPTレイズナー,Aoki Ryūsei Esu Pī Tī Reizunā)) is a 1985 Japanese mecha anime series produced by Nippon Sunrise. It aired for 38 episodes on Nippon Television from October 3, 1985 to June 26, 1986
In an alternate reality based in the year 1996, humanity has advanced through developing long-range space travel, as well as bases on both the Moon and Mars. However, the Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union have not ended; rather, they've escalated as both sides build military facilities in space, and the shadow of nuclear conflict looms over humanity, both on and off Earth.
Meanwhile, on the Red Planet, an exchange program created by the United Nations to promote peace and understanding is about to begin; the "Cosmic Culture Club," consisting of 16 boys and girls, as well as their instructor Elizabeth, arrives at the UN Mars base. Among the passengers is Anna a 14-year-old girl who serves as the narrator for the story.
Suddenly, four unidentified humanoid robots classified as Super Powered Tracers engage in fierce combat. The UN base is caught in the crossfire and quickly destroyed, killing all the student leaving six survivors and stranded on an inhospitable 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, "Earth is at stake."
