Customer Reviews of Voltron - Defender of the Universe - Collection One

Voltron is back....FINALLY!!
Well Voltron is back! Original Voices, music, animation...and he is totally awesome. First of all let me say Im an 80s child and well, love 70's and 80's Japanese animation (ala Robotech and Mazinger Z). This series look and sound great! Colors and sound come to life like never before! This series was supposedly reconstructed and remastered from the Japanese original series and looks fantastic. <

>I love this kind of anime and let me say that there has NOT been any good looking TV anime in years here in the U.S. and all the shows are for retards with no plot and ENHANCED (halfazzed) computer help. Voltron is from an era when the real animators were true ARTISTS!I highly recomend this one! I did not even know it came out till I saw it at the store last nite! and wow Im satisfied! <
>The only drawback on the series (and any other Original Japanese anime) is that some (very few) english speaking parts dont match the animation but is not common here so no biggie. The last CON would be that at least in the origin of Voltron some dialog dont match previous conversations (the only example I noticed was when they trying to find a way to activate Voltron). Again these are minor flaws and hardly noticeable. All in all we waited over 20 years for these great collection...Get IT NOW! <
>80's children UNITE!!

Voltron Season One
Man I have said it once I will say it again; the 1980s was the best time to be a child. We had Voltron, Transformers, GIJOE, M.A.S.K., Thundercats, Battle of the Planets aka G-Force, and many other awsome cartoons. I am glad to see many of my favorite cartoons coming out on DVDs that way I can share it wth my little cousins and my own kids when I have them. Voltron ranks up there with many of the best cartoons of the 1980s and this series is a must for anyone that wants to relive their childhood. GO VOLTRON FORCE!!!

Animation just doesn't hold up.
Sorry guys, but after all the hype that was building up to the initial release of the Blue Lion Collection here, I am extremely disappointed about the final product here. <

>OK, first of all I was a big fan of this show back in '84 and '85....but that was when I was only like 10 or so. So, weigh that in with what I have to say below. <
> <
>So 20+ years later, even after restoration, the animation in this series just doesn't hold up. From the crudely animated environment to the pencil like drawings of the lions and Voltron, to the terribly animated mouth movements, the animation is just horrible compared to the 3D enhanced animation we get today in modern animated shows like Justice League and other mainstream anime series. Oh, one note about the restoration itself. If this is restored, I'd hate to see what it was like prior to restoration. It still looks pretty bad, IMO. <
> <
>Another thing I find disturbing is the juvenile dialogue. Very childish dialogue on top of very childish voice-overs. I mean it's not even funny. It's like the scrounged the bottom of the barrel to get these actors to voice this show. I guess I'm just spoiled now that modern animated show get some top voice actors to give life to the characters. <
> <
>I bought this collection with the intention of buying the whole set, but after struggling to get through the 15 episodes, I'm not gonna waste any more of my time or money on this badly aged series. If I may say so myself, the packaging is the only redeeming feature of this set. Shame the series itself isn't any better. <
> <
>Now, if they were to ever release the 3D CGI animated version of Voltron, I'd buy that set in an instant. That one was for a much mature audience. Hopefully it'll see the light of day soon. IIRC, it was only 26 episodes or so, so a 4 disc set would catch that one.
