This is oneof Netflix best animations. The story is amazing. There are some small unnecessary things, but none of these little things take the fun out the show. I am very sad that is coming to an end.
I barely remember the original show, but this was a great one. It will be missed.
Ill definitely check it out, I have fond memories of the old series...even though it hasnt aged well.
Im bummed this is the last season. This show brought back life in Voltron and made me actually care about it again. I only vaguely remember watching the original show when I was younger and had some of the toys but I was never very gripped with the show. This one has alot more life and emotion to it compared to its predecessor.
I love the one art piece thats Im pretty sure an homage to this one Capcom art piece. Capcom did an homage to that piece as well in a new art book of theirs. Im not quite sure if it originated from Capcom or if its from other stuff but thats where I first saw it.
