Arei's Mirror: Way to the Virgin Space (アレイの鏡 〜ウェイ・トゥ・ザ・バージン・スペース〜, Arei no Kagami ~Wei tu za Bājin Spēsu~, also known as Mirror of Halley) 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. The same year it was published a single-volume comic adaptation cured by Sekai Bunkasha.
