i do also enjoy jessica rabbit, there are times for volutuous curvaceousness (jessica rabbit, holly wood), and then there are times for lean athleticism (cheetara, firestar {from spiderman and his amazing friends}) i am a man of many tastes.. but I respect women! I love women! I respect them so much that I completely stay away from them! (lil steve correl for ya)

I always liked the 2 Voltron shows as a kid - Thundercats too. The recent Voltron re-hashes didn't impress me much. Don't know if I'll ever buy these though - Robotech and He-Man were my favorites along with Transformers. Probably in that order.

2 Voltrons

Pssshhhhaaaawww....You didn't know that?
Every Voltron fan knows there were 2 Voltrons - the Lions (more popular in North America) and the Vehicles (more popular in Asia apparently).
The reason is most anime shows in the 80's were composed of a group of similar shows that aired previously in Japan. In the USA so many episdoes were required back then for networks to commit to airing them so the anime gurus got around that by overdubbing dialogue, modifying stories a bit, and basically putting 2 separate shows into one theme under the same name.
So there was the Voltron Lion Force show, and the other one too...

Having seen most of the two series again as an adult, the Vehicle Voltron was the more engaging of the two.

There was a mini-series/movie where they both teamed up against the mutual bad guys later on....read more here:

Thanks for the links Kex. Nice clips. Looks familiar, but still not coming back. It's always been the one with the lions that I can remember.

I guess I'm just simple that way. You should see my wife roll her eyes at me. She's got it down to an art.

I finished He-Man 1 and 2 of Season 1 this week. No 5.1, and mediocre video, but well worth the price for the trip down memory lane. Can't wait to get Thundercats.

So...Is Voltron worth getting, too?

If you can get past hearing that dang Voltron theme music 6 times per episode you should be OK


As I mentioned the 5.1 mix sounds weird. Lots of surround action going on but it doesn't have a smooth flow from front to back. Sounds very matrixed (if that makes sense) to me. Better off going with the 2 chan.

The video has a rough, edgy feel to it. Kinda like a color pencil drawing. I think that fits perfect and that's how I remember it being as a kid. Not bad for $24. I of course gotta finish off the collection now.

My son sat and watched most of disc 1 with me so that was cool. Your right, the trip down memory lane is well worth the price.
