Canada Movie Reviews of Voltron, Vol. 5: Defender of the Universe-Black LionMovie Review: for those who want to complete their dvd set onlyThe quality of this seems real bad and often times out of focus which is probably due to the fact that episodes 53 to 72 were done post the original golion series by another animation company. The only good animation is the ones recycled from the previous original 52 episodes. The robeasts all appear very uninspired since they are now all beastlike in nature (ie a giant snail?). They also went full blown cheesy with the dialogue with one instance of King Zarkon referencing the wizard of oz, met by a snappy lame comeback by Keith. The one saving grace is included. The trailer for 'King of Beasts: Golion' which is the original anime that was edited to make voltron. The trailer is quite humorous showing many of the scenes in voltron which were obviously edited to remove death to make it more kid friendly. It probably won't have the great theme of Voltron or the familiar voice actors, but at least it gives us a chance to see the story unfold unedited and unadulterated. If you already own the previous four volumes, then you might as well complete your set. Just realize that after episode 52, it's all downhill. |
