Reviews
Space Explorers Captured
This first episode was a great introduction to the Legend of Voltron and although the Adventure barely begins in this episode, the story telling is excellent and although I remembered watching this show when I was younger I had forgotten how smart a show this was. Great for all ages.
Space Explorers Captured
This was one of the first Anime series I viewed on television, when I first saw it in 1984. This was one that got me hooked on Japanese animation! Now, with this review I speak for the WHOLE series. Although some episodes were better than others, the whole series, in general, was fantastic! Seeing the new Voltron cartoon, in computer animation, was a huge let-down! I was disappointed. Nothing will ever match the original!
