Arei no Kagami

Arei no Kagami (アレイの鏡 ~ Way to the Virgin Space) was originally created by Leiji Matsumoto as an educational-like video aimed more at children. It used information about Earth and Outer Space which lead many to believe it as an educational video. It was first shown only as a movie in the Expo '85 as part of the World Fair. It was also Leiji Matsumoto's first work with Computer Graphics in it.

Plot
The story follows Daichi Meguru and Mayu, a young boy and a pilot, as they flee their war torn planet and into space. Upon their ship a stowaway android named Zero joins their quest as they travel through Halley's Mirror.
