Project Blue Chikyuu SOS and Dennou Coil, my new favs - Elsa Bibat - 05-20-2007
Dennou Coil is Hayao Miyazaki does Serial Experiments Lain.
It's cute yet has that "lurking horror" tone that you expect for a Lovecraft tale - all in a well-animated bundle.
Project Blue is over a year old and I still wonder why no one's picked up more than one episode to fansub. It's pretty much Johnny Quest mixed with everyone of Gerry Anderson's shows: Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and UFO. Human super-science goes up against alien invaders while two plucky kids, Billy Kimura, a Richie Rich type science detective, and his rival, Penny Carter, who is Johnny Quest with a dog named Washington, go around investigating mysterious disappearances of G-reactor powered vehicles. Lotta Brest, the requisite scientist's daughter, tags along, while a masked guy flying an advanced fighter named Sky Knight armed with Tesla cannons kicks UFO butt.
It's so retro-60's it even has the soundtrack:

ureshii fansubbed the first episode and there's an episode 2 raw floating around but I can't find the last 4 episodes.
But the two I watched were satisfying in themselves. I'll have to hunt around for a DVD, even if I have to pay out of my nose for it.

Maybe they couldn't take the strain of working on a series with a character named "Lotta Brest"...
