They rarely get a chance for any serious acting or even subtle comedy. The likeable cast are made to act like naughty schoolchildren. The idea that this crowd could be entrusted to save the world is constantly ridiculous. The EYES Task Force are all adults, but they act like they're in a classroom. This means less fighting and more silliness. Many of the monsters are too cute, and the EYES team are dedicated more to conservation rather than obliteration. Cosmos is a real slog to get through, and is really only for the very young. Neither is it adult, violent or creepy like Nexus, which was my previous favourite series. It's not like the complex story arc of Ultraman Nexus.

There's a flimsy narrative that runs through the series about an outer space force that 'possesses' otherwise peace-loving (giant) monsters.
Unbeknownst to the members of EYES, one of their young pilots, Musashi, is actually a living host to Ultraman - whenever there's danger, he can transform into the giant alien defender for a few minutes in order to save the day. They usually stall the monster long enough until Ultraman sorts it all out. Over the years, the Japanese Ultraman series have veered between two extremes - from the hardnosed gritty action where characters even die in Ultraman Nexus, to the childish acting and cute monsters of Ultraman Cosmos.Īs always, every episode, Japan gets threatened by a giant monster.and in this series it's the EYES team that fly to the rescue from their special island base.
