[SHINOBI03]

I finished Cosmos series! It's been a while since I saw an Ultra series this fun and optimistic. The tone is lighter, sure. But I really enjoyed its execution and didn't use the tone as an excuse to dumb itself down and confuse "light" with "stupid" (You hear me, Dyna?).

Cosmos is a pacifist warrior done right. He doesn't whine about using violence, he doesn't go "violence is not the answer" and doesn't chicken out or lets himself be a doormat like how some media portray their pacifist characters. Just because he doesn't condone violence it doesn't mean he can't decide when to get serious. When he should or finds his pacifism not working, he will kill to save the world. And of course these issues weren't tossed aside and the series constantly tackles them on when lethal force is justified or if alternate solutions cannot be achieved.

EYES is also an excellent team and on the top of Heisei-era teams right behind GUTS from Tiga. All members were fleshed out, each has their own characters with plenty of development for them, which is something that cannot be said for many other teams that are just background decorations.

Yes, the long number of episodes is a bit intimidating for the viewers but the writing and characters do carry the show so you won't get bored from watching it that easily. I'd say one of its negatives are the excessive CGI effects with form changing being done in CGI instead of using the suits and other monsters and vehicles being rendered only in CGI instead of miniatures.
