Micransix Crappy film

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Shred_Master I grew up in the 80's and the OG Voltron was one of my go to shows back in the day. I even remember the other Voltron too, the one with the vehicles. I had both Voltron toys as well. Safe to say, I was a fan. This new show is everything it should and needed to be. It reintroduces Voltron to the kids of today, while properly paying homage to original show.The spirit of what made Voltron so popular in the 80's was kept well in tact. You have the same lion pilots (now called "paladins") but they are each given more of a backstory. Even the villains are more captivating, as they dive into their pasts and what motivates them to do what they do. The animation is stunning and Voltron itself does not disappoint. There is also more a season by season storytelling arc, as opposed to the old series, which was more episodic - team has to get the lions, robeast is sent, form Voltron, form blazing sword, strike, day is won. The new show managed to do the seemingly impossible - make the new series good like the old one was, while also doing something new, deeper and unlike what we've seen before in the franchise.I look forward to each new season, which thankfully are not very far apart. Highly recommend for any Voltron fans!

timisshopping The original lion series in 1984-1985 came to be known as "robeast of the week". It was so shallow without any real character development for heroes or villains. I felt voltron vehicle force tried to be the more mature show while the lions were completely vacuous. I was 11 in 1984 and even I grew tiresome of the one dimensional episodes. The legendary defender however, while also a lion force is truly amazing. For one it's a terrific collaboration between Japanese animation and dreamworld studio. You will still get these character emotions which are truly Japanese showing love, anger, frustration, envy etc while all character speaking perfect English. In addition to the great collab which we didn't see in the original, is the fantastic plunge into the mythos and history of the characters. While I'm up to date in the 5th season, so many characters including Pidge, princes and especially Lotor and his lineage (father, mother and friends) are so well fleshed out, we really do care about every single one of them. The series has also taken twists and turns that we never saw before like the princess piloting that blue lion and Lance the traditionally blue paladin piloting the red lion. Meanwhile, Keith, the red paladin isn't even in a lion, but fighting with a Galra rebellion squad. It's all completely out of the box, which makes it that much more realistic and believable. Please make more of this terrific show!!!

stunningsalman When I first saw the reboot of Voltron, the first season, i wasn't sure that it could be surpassed. But second season is way better than the first one. It is one of the best animated series I have seen so far, and I have seen a lot of them. Believe me you won't regret watching it. In fact I was glued to my laptop until the series was finished. So a word of advice if you haven't watched it yet. Then do watch it at once.

sasorimester Honestly, I've always loved mecha shows. I'm young, so, obviously I've never seen the original Voltron anime. But I really love this show, I'm watching episode 9 right now, and I'm sad it's almost over. However, I believe it'll have a second season or more, either way I'm going to cry a river. Lance and Keith are my absolute favorites, their relationship is so entertaining and cute. I really hope that when the next seasons will start (hopefully) & go on, the two will become a couple. Tim Hedrick was asked in an interview if there's going to be an LGBTQ+ character in the series, and his respond was "I think I'll just let that play out as we go. No comment on that question." - I really do believe that he just wouldn't spoiler if that's gonna happen, and in the said interview there was a picture included Keith & Lance. Also, I personally felt something flirtatious in episode 7, when he went to rescue Lance. That might be just me and my imagination, but I've posted that on Tumblr and got 100+ notes, so I might not be the only one who thinks that. Also important to note that said Tim Hedrick has written many of Legend of Korra's episodes, which included a canonical lesbian couple (Korra - Aasami. Korrasami. Also a Red x Blue pairing) :)Anyway I enjoy/enjoyed this show a lot, the animation is A+, very detailed and high-quality. I've seen many people saying they miss the old theme and it'd have been god if it was included, but I guess that doesn't really matter. Well, not much.Voltron Legendary Defender has become one of my favorite shows, and it's been a really long time ago since I've enjoyed something that much.Thank you Dreamworks for it, I love it. Hope to see more of it!
