Anything Goes

TV remakes are great. It gives old fans a chance to relive the classic series that were loved. Voltron Force is a new version of the 1980′s animated series, Voltron.

The story is different this time since Lotor has finally been vanquished, the Voltron force is now fighting against one of their own.

From Wikipedia: set in a time period five to seven years after the events of the original 1980s Voltron series. Lotor was killed by the Voltron Force as the result of Voltron destroying Doom Castle. Voltron is celebrated on Earth for the destruction of Lotor and his forces.

However, due to the actions of Sky Marshall Wade, a corrupt official in the Galaxy Alliance, the Robot Lions are immediately outcast and separated with the Black Lion locked away in Galaxy Alliance HQ while the other lions are sealed on the planet Arus, the home of Princess Allura.

Though officially disbanded, the Voltron Force secretly act to get back the Black Lion while gathering three Alliance cadets (Daniel, Vince and Allura’s niece Larmina) to train them to become future Force members and Lion pilots.

With the cadets, the reunited Voltron Force are needed once more to combat not only a resurrected Lotor and a new form of energy from another old enemy of theirs, but also expose Wade’s criminal actions.

So far, the story is okay. The character drawings of the Voltron lions are ugly though. They look like they are drawn by the same people who created Swat Kats. Plus, what’s with Voltron having a pouty lip? ha ha!

Still, I am not saying the series is bad. I have seen the first 5 episodes and it has been good so far. Check it out and see if you like them or not.
