About Cosmo Warrior Zero

If you are hunting for a new action series, Cosmo Warrior Zero (コスモウォーリアー零) deserves a look (2001). The setup goes like this. The premise: The long war between the planet Earth and the machine men is finally over, resulting in a peace that is more a victory for the machine men than the Earth. Warrius Zero lost his family in the war to the machine men but despite this he is still is a member of the Earth fleet that is now working in concert with the machine men.

From there, his ship, made up of both humans and machine men, has been given a near impossible task: capture the space pirate Captain Harlock. While Zero struggles to accomplish this task, evidence kicks off to surface that the peace between machine men and Earth may not be as it seems....

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Eiji Takemoto as Captain Harlock and Satsuki Yukino as Maetel. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Eiji Takemoto voicing Captain Harlock gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2001, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
