2 HELL YEAH's out of 5
First, I don't want to hear it...yes I know it's Nicktoons...BUT they also show Dragonball Z which is one of the BEST ANIME series EVER!!!!
So the great and triumphant return of VOLTRON...is not so great or triumphant.
The art is weak and seems dated, the story and editing are childish, and they seem to be rehashing the same old stuff.
After the defeat of Lotor and Hagar the Galaxy Alliance decides to decommission VOLTRON. It doesn't really make sense but that's what they do. They enlist a couple (3) kids to act as cadets...who fight along side the original VOLTRON force. When Lotor is brought back to life, the original VOLTRON force must break the rules and bring VOLTRON back to life. MEH....
I remember the original as a kid and I know it was a bit hokey too..but it was at least a good action cartoon, even by today's standards. Watching this felt like I was watching a show geared towards 8 year olds....the REAL audience, and the makers should have known this, is 16-30 year olds who know and remember what VOLTRON is.
I get needing to make a kid friendly show, but lets not forget who wanted to bring the show back.
It's OK...but not something I'll watch going forward, and I was looking forward to it. Blah oh well. I still have the New Thundercats coming soon.
