I managed to finish Ginga S, its post-series movie, and the Ultra Fight Victory special not too long ago. Now this just leaves everything related to Ultraman R/B before I can finally jump into Taiga and thus be able to complete the entirety of the New Gen era (at least in terms of main series until the new one crops up later this year) of the Ultraman franchise.

I saw something recently which suggested that Cosmos was a response by those at Tsuburaya who saw a trend of violence amongst young people.
Does this adhere to the mission statement/principle idea behind the series and those who were involved in its inception? It would definitely fit the bill, given the peace and kindness themes at the heart of Cosmos. Also, what did they actually see which concerned them at the time? Yes, tokusatsu has been viewed as part-and-parcel with the often-criticized otaku culture, but was it more than that? |

I decided to take an animated breather and watch Ultraman Kids: 30 Million Light-Years in Search of Mother.
This show is definitely aimed even younger than Ultraman already is, and the general "feel" of the show isn't what I would associate with the Ultraman series (even if some of the tributes to classic Showa kaiju were very deep cuts). Overall though, I thought it was a cute little series. I think the varied planet-hopping adventures were fun and the show, while visually simple, was well animated. The show doesn't really have particularly loft storytelling ambitions or anything though. Characters aren't all that complex and the show ends on a really weird note, choosing to not show Maa meeting his parents even though all the characters needed to do at that point was wait it out. Still, I think the show set out to make a lightweight space adventure and succeeded. Anyways, I think it would be really funny if they made some chibi-looking suits and stuck these guys in a modern crossover. Tsuburaya has done stranger things before!

I think it's a tribute to the original show. I heard that many viewers were disappointed that they were not even shown a piece of the Land of Light, but only a kaleidoscope of colors.

I guess it also helps that we do ultimately get to see the Land of Light in later Ultra shows, but the Ultraman Kids series ended here. Perhaps the creators were hoping they would get to create further animated adventures following these characters, which is why they left the ending so open.

I kind of wish they'd done more with the kids that stayed behind like Ace and the OC Ultras who didn't seem based on any specific ones.

I am slowly but surely getting through Ultraman R/B on which I rather liked from what I'm seeing of the series so far.
