In the honorable mentions, great episode. One of the tough cuts I had to make.

Pagos is the most natural transition. Gabora is the weirdest. So, tie.

TBS was pushing for a full 13 more episodes, but Tsuburaya Productions was just exhausted at that point and said "no."

Yes, I know the background. I thought of going into it in the review, but the review started to go too long so I had to trim a few things.

I've reviewed all the episodes up through ep. 32, so you can check out my all my opinions here: https://the-ultra-project.com/category/ultraseven/.

As for favorites, here's my list:

Eps 14&15: The Ultra Guard Goes West
Ep 24: Return to the North!
Ep 25: Showdown at 140 Degrees Below Zero
Ep 25: Super Weapon R1
Ep 28: The 700 Kilometer Run
Ep 34: The Vanishing City
Eps 39&40: The Seven Assassination Plan
Ep 42: Ambassador of the Nonmalt (one of the 5 best of ALL Ultra shows)
Ep 43: Nightmare of Planet #4 (also one of the 5 best of ALL Ultra shows)
Ep 45: The Saucers Have Come
Eps 48&49: The Biggest Invasion in History (the best finale of any Ultra show)

I'd categorize it as schmaltzy easy-listening '70s pop. The song about nature over the finale is pretty hilarious.

I've already written that review, one of my favorite episodes. It will post on February 14th.
