Voltes V: Legacy

I recently had the opportunity to watch Voltes V Legacy, and as a fan of the original anime series, I was pleasantly surprised by the live-action adaptation. The show managed to capture the essence and nostalgia of the beloved mecha anime while adding its own unique flair.

One of the standout aspects of Voltes V Legacy is its faithful representation of the characters. The casting was well done, with the actors embodying the spirit of the original characters and bringing them to life on screen. The chemistry among the main cast was evident, and their performances were convincing and enjoyable to watch.

The action sequences in the series were nothing short of exhilarating. The battles between the giant robots and the alien forces were expertly choreographed and visually stunning. The special effects, although not on a Hollywood blockbuster level, were still impressive and added to the overall excitement of the show.

What I appreciated most about Voltes V Legacy was its ability to update the story for a modern audience while staying true to its roots. The show introduced new elements and twists that kept me engaged and intrigued throughout the series. It was evident that the creators had a deep respect for the source material and made efforts to expand on the world of Voltes V without straying too far from its core themes.

Of course, every adaptation has its flaws, and Voltes V Legacy is no exception. Some viewers might find fault with certain aspects, such as the occasional pacing issues or deviations from the original storyline. However, in my opinion, these minor shortcomings did not detract from the overall enjoyment and entertainment value of the show.

To be honest I love the anime version. This live adaptation is quite different from the original version. There are too much romantic scene between Isabel ortega and Miguel Tan Felix. The dirdctor puts too much unnecessary scenes and deviates from the original. Changes are ok as long as it's good but that is not the case. That is the reason why it will end sooner than the likes of Abot kamay na pangarap.

Another thing I don't like is putting elle villanueva as ex lover of Miguel which never happened in the original series. They are just doing this to give the actress exposure.

When the robot fights, they put too much emphasis on the pilots rather than the robot. Those who watched the anime don't appreciate this. Only fanboys and fangirl of the actors and actress will like those things. I hope they put more emphasis on the robot fighting rather than showing the faces of all pilots each time the robot makes a move.

My 2 kids and I were so hyped when the show was announced however after few days of watching we no longer want to watch it because of the said reasons above. My kids prefer watching netflix YouTube instead or play outside. They said there are too much conversation between the cast and there are too few fighting scenes.

Remember we want to watch voltes V because of the fighting scenes not because we want to see the actor and actresses talk. They are like making voltes V a telenovela.

Great overall. Highly recommended for those who have not watched the original anime series, and a great feeling to watch it all over again in live action as a fan of the anime. Big props to GMA for making this happen!

Story telling was also great starting with how the Voltes robot originated and the story of Ned Armstrong.

The CGI was expectional and the best in philippine history by far. Fight scenes were well orcestrated in CGI as well as the detailing on the Voltes robot and beast fighter.

Can't wait to see how it progress and excited to see more beast fighters fighting our very own Voltes V!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9/10.

The bad overacting and the use of Tagalog that nobody really speaks. I mean their dialogue...who talks Tagalog like that in real life? Its very unnatural and fake... it' obvious its a script reading affair, the words tney use are so literal, it's like I'm in school again in Tagalog class learning words I'll never use in my life.

Anyway, the robots and robot fights are what keep me watching. This is one show where the CGI is better than the actors. Oh, and the cheesy love stories and monlogues are just terrible. And the premise that the audience is dumb by over explaining everything is quite funny too.

But hey, we watch for the robots anyway.

While this show is still a little far from what Hollywood movies can offer, this is definitely a 10/10 as a Filipino Show. Darna TV Series is nothing compared to this even the fact that it was highly anticipated. This is 10 times better than what the Filipinos are used seeing production wise. This deserves a huge support and I hope this will just be the beginning of something great for the Philippine Entertainment Industry.

I can just imagine how better this could have been if this was a movie instead. As I watch the episodes, I notice how dependent to post production this show is. The witty thing I notice is that they focus on perfecting the VFX for the essential scenes and that's a great decision considering the budget.

I just really hope this would be the start of bigger things for Filipinos. The Philippine Entertainment Industry should take risks like this because if they don't who will? And if not now, when?
