My friend grew up with the old Voltron series and when this one came out he was so thrilled! Kept going on and on how amazing it looks and how great the setup was. Just hearing the fact that part of Avatar production team was on it should be enough for anyone loving that series to give this one a go.
I watched it at first based on my friends enthusiasm, but I stayed because Voltron delivers so much! The characters grow and change, the plot is ever expanding and wraps up on in a grand manner every season. It might be over the top sometimes, but never too much. It takes the silly idea of a space lion robot and gives it just enough serious spin to keep it amazing through the whole show.
Animation is superb and shots are truly grand. There are so many still shots in the series that could be framed as an art piece. Along with it, voice cast and sound production do an amazing job as well. Nothing felt like it was out of place.
If you liked the Avatar series or if you have a thing for space magic, I would definitely recommend this show. It is dark at times but it always reminds you that there is good in everyone and that one should always fight for what is right. Appropriate for all ages.
